Helldivers 2 introduces a variety of energy weapons that pose unique challenges for players mastering their usage. These weapons demand a balance of skill and strategy to wield effectively in the heat of battle.

As players progress through the game, they encounter primary, secondary, and support energy weapons, each with its own set of characteristics and learning curve. While some energy weapons require no ammo and are easy to use, others like the PLAS-1 Scorcher demand careful ammo management due to their rapid consumption.
