tldr: quasar cannon is essentially an EAT with infinite ammo and no ballistic arc drop (so unlike EAT, no need to aim higher to hit long range target, just point and shoot across the map if you like), in many ways it's better than EAT except in terms of burst damage. Unlike EAT which gives 2 shot every minute roughly (not counting the time to take it out), quasar only takes about 10 seconds to recharge so in the time it takes for you to get 2 EAT stratagem to drop (4 EAT rockets basically), you can let loose about 5 quasar shot... And that 4 EAT rockets are not counting the fact that you need to dial the stratagem to drop them in, and then GET to the hellpod, take one out, fire it, take another one out and fire it. With quasar cannon you always have the weapon with you, no need to dial stratagem in after every 2 shot, no need to run and get the weapon... just point, charge, and BLAST the target. Having an infinite ammo weapon capable of firing a killing shot against anything except against tanks and bile titan every 10 seconds is amazing.

The quasar is basically a solo-friendly version of the recoilless rifle. As its cooldown takes about as much time as a solo reload on the RR, but you can actually run around and fire your primary while you wait for the quasar to cool down

Quasar is the prototypcial support weapon. Taking out hard targets but is too slow to be used as a primary weapon. Would not run solo with it but only as a supporter for a partner or a team. Heavy MG: Perfect match with someone running a Stalwart. The LMG keeps smaller enemies at bay while the HMG picks off harder targets. I can see a two-men team defending against hordes of enemies with that.

MG and supply pack is a match made in heaven for delivering Liber-tea.

Higher difficulty tiers, I am not sure how useful quasar really is, you just do not have the time to stand around to charge and 'recharge' in typical battles. After a quick test, I feel the A/C support weapon is still better overall; aoe damage, much faster rate of fire, quicker reload, more mobile. The HMG really needed to be a weapon that came with a backpack that feeds the gun; queue the Predator scene where they mow down the forest with mini-gatling MG. Otherwise the HMG has way too much recoil for the low ammo and control issues it has.

The quasar not needing a backpack is huge. Having the free back slot while also having infinite ammo is huge

After playing a bit with both weapons and reading other people's reactions, the general consensus seems to be that the Quasar is unbelievably strong, and the HMG is... just okay. Sure the damage is high, but you get to use it for about 30 seconds before you have to resupply. It is not super useful against Chargers, and even worse against Bile Titans, which is a shame for something taking up your support slot. A Sickle and Quasar pairing means you can confidently take out every enemy in the game, and your backpack is still open for whatever you want to bring. Oh, and they both have infinite ammo. If they increase the HMG mag size to 100 (rather than 75) and/or let you start with three mags, then it becomes more interesting.

An Anti-Armor Laser Canon with infinite ammo and a 10 Second Cooldown? Shiiiiet, that's almost as much time as I have to reload my reecoiless.

Qasar one shots chargers and 2 shots shrieker nests. It’s basically a rechargeable eats that you don’t have to keep redeploying.

The quaser is soooo satisfying to use. The build up in power and the sound and how quick the shot is. I like it. You can charge and then peak when it's about to fire. Also you can keep the charge to the point where its about to fire and the finish it off when you need to fire. Like when you know a drop ship is going to show up. The fact that you can do this and charge while moving makes the charge not bad at all. I think the shield gen pack and the quaser is a really good combo. Lets you be in the open to get a good aim for a bit.

The Quasar is a better recoilless almost. It requires no backpack and has no ammo limit, it does the same damage, and reloading doesn't animation lock you. The only downside in comparison is the charge up time for shot, so you can't just aim and kill.

The Quasar looks like a great alternative the Autocannon, especially since you don't lose a backpack slot.

2:35 talking about the heat dissipating but not being able to fire again, some people are saying that it's not getting the extreme cold buff, so the Ui is showing that it should be ready to fire when it's not, as the buff isn't correctly applying.

Not sure exactly on bile titans yet but its at least 2 headshots. For the HMG, put fire rate on low and burst fire it. The qasar is meant to be used from a distance.

The quasar is definitely a good gun for an energy build anti-tank weapon. I think the main use case for it is when you know the enemy is going to jam your drops to prevent a reload on the expendable or recoilless launcher. Also, on planets like Hellmire it might be a bit of a challenge to manage the heat. I tried it out today and was able to take out bots and everything. The big advantage I see with the gun is that it you can use it with a shield pack or ammo pack, which can help when someone is using the slugger and running anti-base duties.

Helldivers 2 video is excellent, dude, you speak very well. Your videos are extremely good.

Quasar reminds me of the ion cannon from Borderlands 3. Super badass

There is no gap the Quasar is filling. It does nothing better and is so situational (e.g. ADS, cool-down) it more of the the same we already got. If it had an incendiary effect for all its huge massive size, cool down and splash effect of its shot,, well then I might have reason to actually use it... Thanks, I'll stick to my trusted Autocannon, that works in a pinch 10 times in a row as quick as I like and gets the job done just fine.

I actually love the quasar. Played a few rounds with it against the bugs and it’s great against bile titans and chargers. It can basically do the same thing as the EAT and Recoilless against chargers by blasting them in the face. Granted you have to charge it, but if you can position yourself right you can work around it. It’s like having an EAT that doesn’t run out of ammo, or like a Recoilless that you don’t have to stop in your tracks to reload. While it cools down you can keep running, kiting enemies or shooting your other guns. It’s got unlimited ammo, great damage, can destroy bug holes/bot fabricators, dropships, blow open vaults, one shot chargers and deal great damage against titans. You just gotta learn how to master the charge up and cool down and you’re golden

This is great and all, but when are they going to fix the issue of resetting your load out every time you restart the game 🤔

The quasar is an excellent weapon, even better if you bring along stun grenades to keep the target still. It one shots chargers, pretty sure it two shots bile titans to the face when I tried it, and it technically reloads on your back. With a 10-second cool down charge, you can fire it, put it on your back. Continue fighting for 10 seconds, and then have it back up to fire again. The heavy machine gun severely lacks versus the bugs, not enough. Size, have to stand still while reloading does do insane damage DPS wise, and you can get two full magazines back from one resupply pack which is great. But you run out of ammo way too fast for it to be feasible against the bugs. To put it bluntly, the quasar Canon is in a good spot, not OP, but a solid choice over others with some downsides The heavy machine gun while high in DPS, does not have enough ammo, reload speed is really bad, and you have to bring a supply pack if you're going to use it. I think if they simply buffed the heavy machine gun to pierce heavy armor, it would be a solid choice. (And balance it around being able to pierce heavy armor)

i actually love that they added these weapons, they do fill a niche where i feel the options for bots weren't many since a lot of weapons would just bounce, and they're also not so OP that they are the defacto weapon to use while filling their niche at times.

am i missing something? Quasar seems ridiculously op against automatons

2:55 whats probably happening with the heat sink is that because you are on a snow planet it cools down faster than the actual internal CD of the weapon is. I'm willing to bet if you where on a hot planet it would allow you to shoot it again while its still got heat in it and would probably require a new heat sink after the 2nd shot.

You said the fire rate is pretty quick and I didn't expect much until you fired it and my jaw dropped.

They missed an opportunity with the Heavy Machine Gun imho. It should come with a backpack that auto feeds ammo. It would look better and it would also fix the issue of being ammo hungry. For what it offers, I also think the Quasar Cannon should come with a Generator Backpack with two girthy cables on the side that connect to the weapon. I don't know, these weapons feel too similar in looks and straight upgrades to others things we already have without many downsides.

While the normal Machine Gun can be used with any other backpack. I also think the normal MG needs a little buff, at least 4 magazines and a little bit more ammo per magazine aswell. As it stands It's good but starving for ammo every single time. The difference would be: - Stalwart = great handling, low recoil, reload while running and sustained fire with huge magazines and ammo reserve. - Normal MG = slower, less ammo, needs to stop to reload, but greater damage and penetration, a good middle ground. - HMG = worst handling, worst recoil, takes more time to reload once the backpack actually empties, uses a backpack slot but best damage and best penetration.

It can one shot dropships but it does need to be fully charged. And it takes a long time to recharge.

the quasar is better than the EAT in one regard, it isnt completely useless when the stratagems are being jammed or are unavailable, i love infinite ammo

The quasar cannon versus bugs is most definitely a more worth while pick than EAT now as it strips leg armour with a single shot with a 8 second cooldown(normal temp), and 3 shots bile titan with my testing, u just need to use scorcher to blow out its belly in between shots

1 headshot for chargers. 2 headshots of Bile Titans

A lot of folks have been complaining about the hmg, but I don't think they understand its roll in the game. The hmg isnt GREAT at anything, but is decent at everything. It can kill every enemy in the game fairly easily besides bile titans. It has a ton of push back. Good for crowd control, good for long range, good for short range, good for heavy enemies. It's just a decent all around Swiss army knife.

I think the heatsink charging faster than the actual charging is the fact that all heat based weapons recharge faster on cold planets. So the recharge looks like it is charging faster but actually isn't

With thing’s silhouette and name, it’s hard not to hear Metal Slug’s “HEAVY MACHINE GUN” in my head when I pick it up

I think people are overreacting to the Quasar Cannon, it IS very good, but it's not OBSCENELY overpowered or anything It takes up your support weapon slot permanently. Takes a long time to charge up (you have to make sure you dont get shot in the middle of it too). It takes skill to oneshot hulks and twoshot bile titans. If you miss, you're out of luck for a while. Very little to no blast radius, so it cannot clear hordes at all And if you instead brought the disposable EAT rockets You can bring two nearly instant-firing rockets in very often (enough to kill any strong enemy, including tanks and bile titans) You can use any other support weapon, swap to the EATs, then go back to your support weapon of choice They have actual blast radius, so it's possible to deal with trash mobs If you miss one, you can quickly use the other, though the penalty for missing both IS admittedly quite high I will still be using the Quasar because it's cool as hell, but it's not overpowered, you're trading speed and versatility for power. it's the slowest launcher by far, lacks the ability to easily destroy structures like the Spear, lacks the speed of the Recoilless Rifle, and lacks the versatility of the EATs, but it brings constant reliability as its main upside.

The cannon has infinite ammo. It can be reloaded/cooled while moving or even while stowed. It one shots heavy’s. I’d say it’s positives far out weigh its negatives which is only a 10 second cool down

10 sec cooldown, 4 sec wind up, subject to heat conditions. But yeah it’s very strong, particularly since it doesn’t take a backpack slot.

despite popular belief the quasar doesn't need a nerf. It's an automatically reloading anti tank that needs to charge before firing and has a little more sway that's it the projectile is literally the same as the recoilless rifle or expendable anti tank

ive noticed that the cooldown time between the quasar and the sickle are almost perpendicular, so if you can get a cadence down you can switch back and forth while kiting you can be a one man wrecking crew

Bro spent 4 minutes talking about the "Reeallee loang choarge time"

I love the quasar canon, charge time isn’t bad actually and the cool down isn’t bad, maybe in a higher enemy density situation but longer missions it’s great gor

Great weapon to pair with stun grenades. The quasar can close bug holes and destroy factories. Stun grenades make the target freeze so you can line up the shot.

Anti Bot loadout: Primary: Scorcher to delete walkers with the blast damage Secondary: your choice, though I’d pick the rapid fire pistol or laser pistol Support weapon: Quasar Armor: 50% chance to not die perk Stratagems: Quasar Shield backpack Two offensive stratagems of your choice, I like railcannon, orbital laser, eagle airstrike and eagle cluster

it's not just an ammo backpack, it's supply backpack and it replenish your nade and stim too. So you can spam your nades way more than usual if you have the supply backpack

The Quasar canon is OP and there is no way to deny it. It is an unlimited yet more powerful Rail gun that cannot blow up in ur face. It does not require a backpack to make use of it. 1 Shots chargers (seen in other videos) and most of enemies with only the tank (which again can be taken down by small arms in the back vents) and the bile titan non dying from 1 shot. So slightly more charge time than a rail gun with way more damage and unlimited ammo, this thing is nerfed the next major update after its release :P

Lovely demonstration of the HMG, earlier I saw a video of a guy that wouldn't crouch to fire and just moaned the entire video about the recoil.

“It is surprisingly accurate, but it has a massive amount of recoil”

2:25 “but as I’ve said about 10 times”. Continues to say the same thing 20 more times 😂

I mean, you could say the down time on the Quasar Cannon is a con to it, but I find it to be fair. You've got the power of essentially an energy EAT-17, that you don't have to E. It wouldn't be fair if you could just launch off 10 shots before anything reloaded or cooled down. As it is, I'd say it's balanced and the devs should leave it alone (HINT HINT: Devs, don't try to nerf this until other things have been fixed first.) You also should consider that odds are that the Heavy Machine Gun is 1/2 the Heavy Machine Gun placement. Sure you get to move around with this new one and also ramp up the fire rate, but that damage an penetration has always been in our hands in the form of the HMG installment you slagged in your tier list video. So really, you could go very heavy and have that drop as well. HMG turret the main group and then personal HMG things trying to flank you. Also the HMG installment has 300 rounds, so 150 for each gun; so essentially twice as much ammo per gun. It does a lot of work if you know how to use it, so just give it a try. I also would not complain at all if the devs made a logistics mission of "Go down and retrieve X number of samples from a enemy infested area." Like make a mission that the goal is "Get Samples."

After a quick test, the Quasar can indeed kill a Charger in a single shot to the face, so it is kind of a varient of the Recoilless imo

As someone who mains the spear, this is exactly what I’ve wanted it to be, can’t wait to use this

I have a funny feeling that this must have caused the item errors. Im probably wrong but _shrug_

What are you talking about?

So the quasar is basically a energy version of the recoilless rifle

Loving the Quasar. I was using the Spear or Recoilless Rifle but solo with their ammo packs makes reloading a really big issue when things get hectic unless you have an ammo bro. The Quasar Cannon lets me pull out my primary and keep engaging whilst it cools down. That mobility is really big for me.

The Quasar should be the same as pre-buff recoilless, it COMPLETELY INVALIDATES recoilless, and its not even a question.

Here’s the thing, I like it, but me and all 3 of my friends used it. On a helldive automoton mission, We literally had 0 issues. Like whenever you need a big heavy destroying thing you have it. You can fire one like every 5 seconds with all 4 of you running it. Drop ship? Nope. Sniped out of the sky. Hulk? Melted. Anhailitaor tank? Pssshhh light work. Seriously we just stayed together and corked the map it was so easy. We ran whatever primary we wanted, barely used orbitals or anything.

The quasar looks like it could replace my beloved Recoiless, if only because it will open up a backpack slot for me to use if I want to, and the relaxing can happen on the move. The number of times I've been picked off while locked in loading my tube probably a quarter of my total deaths.

The laser just has too much a cool down 4 seconds to charge and 4 to cool down so taking two hulks can take up to 12 seconds that's if you don't miss Anti material rifle can take two hulks on 4 shots before the laser is even half way charged

I really like the Quasar. You can use it significantly more often than an EAT, and it has no backpack unlike the Recoilless Rifle. It just has to charge, and if you lose it it takes a normal support weapon time to refresh unlike EAT. Its great with the supply pack and stun grenades, since it can destroy fabricators (havnt tested versus bug holes, but id assume it does).

I had a full team using the Quasar on a helldive, the bots kept sending dropship after dropship, and none of them got to drop their troops, and the few that did ended up crashing on them.

Quasar is so fun to use Shooting down drop ships just became more fun and satisfying Have yet to try the heavy machine gun

Thank god! I’ve been saying that no weapon feels good against bots, but it seems they finally put in weapons that do some work against them.

When the hmg got out I did like always and tried it with a supply backpack and the stun grenade because it make every enemy target dummy for my testing and I feel in love! Got my scorcher out of its proverbial dusty bin and it felt like the perfect fit

Take a drink every time Stylosa says "charge"

You stick the quasar on your back and it reloads itself. You can't overheat it, it does what an EAT does, it's completely invalidated the recoilless, and to a lesser extent the EAT.

Little tip for the quasar or rather all weapons ... being in a prone position basically eliminates weapon sway

Has the auto cannons range, the anti tanks damage and the arcs unlimited ammo. It has a cool down and charge time which can still can get you killed. I've two-three shot a bile in the head. One shot a charger and crusher in the head. A devistator will block it with its shield. I've two shot a hulk. You can pop a dropship if you hit the engine. You can snipe bot turret towers. You can close bug holes. It takes 2-3 shots to clear a shrieker nest, per nest. Basically it's an anti tank with unlimited ammo. Kinda a broken wep. I would imagine they increase the cool down a bit more to balance it.

I run the supply pack with the scorcher and no support weapon unless I find one on the map or a team mate gets a second. Absolutely beast. The scorcher is the GOAT
