To focus on the topic and not stray from other games, we’ll tell you about one of the weapons in the most talked-about game lately – Helldivers 2. Whether you know it or not you can still be sure you’ll find it useful.
To stay ahead, you need to learn about this timeless invention called Railgun. What is it and how do you use it? You will learn all this and more in this guide! Don’t hesitate to read it!
Helldivers 2 Railgun Safe VS Unsafe
So what exactly is the Railgun (RS-422)? It’s a weapon that is unlocked at level 20 and is characterized by its ability to switch between two modes: Safe and Unsafe.
As you can probably guess, the latter requires more caution – and rightly so! It is so powerful that it deals massive damage, but it can also be devastating if you don’t know how long to charge your weapon.
Despite the danger, Unsafe Mode is incredible especially in Helldivers 2. Even though they say the Railgun is weakened in the second part it still pierces armor with a single shot.
What’s more, with the Railgun, you can defeat the most rewarding enemies such as Bile Spewers, Devastators and Bile Titan. Amazing, isn’t it?
That’s why it’s worth reading on to learn how to maximize its potential.
How to Activate Unsafe Railgun Mode in Helldivers 2?
The first thing you need to know is that when you play Helldivers 2, you start the game in Safe Mode. There’s nothing wrong with that, but it doesn’t do as much damage as Unsafe one.
As you can see, it is no surprise that most players lean towards the second because it is more efficient.
So how do you turn it on? To make it easier for you, we have prepared some simple tips. Have a look:
- Make sure the weapon is equipped.
- Hold down the R (PC) and Square (PS5) buttons on the keyboard and controller.
- Then press the right mouse button or use the D-Pad to switch shooting modes.
After these simple steps, you can fire the shot.
QUICK TIP: In Unsafe Mode, you can hold down the trigger longer to increase damage, but be careful not to reload your weapon to avoid getting blown up or other allies.
Helldivers 2: Railgun Unsafe Mode Tips
As you can see, playing Helldivers 2 and using this weapon is a very tricky task. To make it a little easier for you, and to help you get the most out of it, we have a few more tips on how to use the Railgun.
The most important thing is that you don’t reload your weapon. The best time to do this is about three seconds. This is extremely important if you don’t want to fall out of the game.
On the other hand, if you do not charge it well then its effect will be very weak. So what is the best way to check the status of your Railgun? Follow these simple steps:
- Switch to first-person view and open the scope.
- Find the Railgun charge meter.
- Load the shot and hold down the trigger until the bar exceeds the highest level.
- Shoot if the color of the gauge is dark red because that means the perfect moment to shoot.
Here you can be sure that your weapon has been properly charged.
However, if you are still unsure of the condition of your weapon then we recommend that you always have a Shield Generator Pack with you which will protect you from damage and you will still be alive.
Conclusion
That’s it! With this knowledge, victory over the Railgun in Helldivers 2 is now in your hands.
