Helldivers 2 Trick Gives Players Incredibly Powerful Cover Fire

A clever Helldivers 2 player online has discovered a trick that allows players to get incredibly powerful cover fire during certain parts of missions. While Helldivers 2 has plenty of Stratagems that players can use to defend themselves, this particular tactic might be more overpowered than any other.

With Helldivers 2 being one of the biggest hits of the year so far, players are still trying to figure out the ultimate meta for the game. This involves finding the best tips and tricks for making the game as easy as possible, and so far, there have been quite a few interesting things found that could help. Recently, one Helldivers 2 player found a hilarious way to troll toxic teammates, which is useful for gamers who find themselves in a lobby with other abusive players. Because Arrowhead Game Studios continues to release a ton of new content for the game, the meta is always changing, which means there will always be interesting new tricks to discover.

In the Reddit clip by Beginning-Judge-3419, the player calls down the Pelican-1 for extraction. However, rather than staying at the extraction zone, they leave the area as it begins to arrive. Instead of landing, the Pelican-1 remains in the air, hovering above the extraction zone. While it hovers, it shoots at any enemies near the player with incredible accuracy, making it arguably better than many of the Helldivers 2 Stratagems.

Once Pelican-1 is in the air, it seems to remain there, providing protection until players approach the extraction zone once again. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to follow players around the map, but it's still incredibly useful for any players who want to farm Helldivers 2 samples near the extraction zone. The video doesn't show the full range of Pelican-1's guns, but it would be interesting to see just how far it is able to support players around the map.

Helldivers 2 continues to be one of the biggest games on the market at the moment, maintaining the immense hype from its initial release
