A Popular Return

The LAS-16 Sickle was a fan favourite weapon in the first Helldivers game, so fans of the first will undoubtedly be over the moon to see it finally make its way into the sequel.

While it can deal decent damage against Spitters or Chargers, especially if you aim at their weak points, it naturally won’t be as good as something with a little more power. So if you have great aim and trust yourself to hit weak spots, it’s a great choice in all situations, but if your aim is inconsistent, then you may want to have a stronger weapon as backup.

We probably wouldn’t recommend that an entire squad all run this weapon, as it’s good to have some variety, and having someone dedicated to using stronger weapons might be a good plan. But that being said, you can’t go wrong with the LAS-16 Sickle and we think it’s one of the best primary weapons around right now.
