The invasion of Cyberstan in Helldivers 2 requires a new approach to fights and good weapons, especially with the Agitators, Radicals, and Vox Engine tearing up the streets. Some loadouts require an anti-tank solution, while others need chaff to clear the horde. Here are some loadout recommendations for you and your squad when dropping straight into the Megafactories of Cyberstan.
Loadout #1: Automaton Generalist
This build is more focused on chaff clear, though with the Grenade Launcher Stratagem now having heavy armor penetration, this can now kill Hulks and War Striders without needing anti–tank weapons. It’s the most generalist build, with the only problematic enemy being Gunships, since grenades have a slow travel time.

LAS-16 Trident
Has infinite ammo and enough accuracy to headshot Devastators. It can also reliably kill Agitators and Radicals if you can tap the trigger without overheating the magazine.

Why It Works
Grenade Launcher
Your Hulk and War Strider killer, as well as a chaff clearer. This weapon stands out in Hulk Surges as it's more ammo-efficient than most anti-tank options.
Supply Pack
Feeds your Grenade Launcher ammo economy since you only get 4 magazines with it. You can also supply your Thermite and Stims in a pinch.
Orbital Gatling Barrage
This Stratagem should be used on Vox Engines, as each projectile can penetrate their armor and can potentially save you a grenade or Ultimatum shot. Since Cyberstan maps are guaranteed to have AA gun emplacements, Strafing Runs are less useful.
Orbital 120mm Barrage
This Stratagem is used for clearing out Bot Drops with its small, focused radius. You can use this as a precision tool against the groups that drop in, and the cooldown timer for the 120mm Barrage matches the Bot Drop cooldown. It also doubles as a Detector Tower destroyer.
Loadout #2: Team Support
The Bastion Tank is the core Stratagem of this loadout as it has more than enough ammo and armor to take on the biggest threats in Cyberstan. Your role with this loadout is to provide a lot of utility for your team and staying self sufficient in fights

Why It Works
Bastion Tank
The tank requires at least two players, but it can put out serious damage and take objectives easily before it's destroyed. It has more than enough ammo to deal with any threat the Cyborgs can throw at you.
Leveller
It is an expendable Stratagem that can wipe out Vox Engines without needing supplies from the team and can be shared with your team if you die.
Shield Generator Relay
The amount of firepower that the Automatons have can be especially overwhelming in Cyberstan, which makes the Shield Generator a lifesaver. Against Vox Engines, this buys your team enough breathing room to resupply or defend an objective.
C4
In a pinch, the C4 Stratagem can kill Vox Engines faster than every available AT support weapon, as you can throw three charges at the torso and detonate them all at once while in cover.
