Helldivers 2 players all agree this stratagem needs a buff.
Players of Helldivers 2 are in unanimous agreement about which stratagem in the game requires a buff. Describing a stratagem as “useless” is a strong statement in the context of Helldivers 2, as the game developers have done an excellent job in balancing the game and ensuring that each element serves a purpose, even if it may not be optimal in every strategy. However, the machine gun sentry is currently facing criticism.
A recent Reddit post highlighted the perceived uselessness of the machine gun sentry, a sentiment that has been widely supported by the community based on the post’s popularity and the numerous comments echoing the same opinion. The post suggests a simple solution to improve the sentry gun’s effectiveness.
The main issue with the sentry gun is its redundancy after reaching level five. The Reddit post proposes giving it a one-minute cooldown, allowing players to call it down more frequently and making it a useful tool in gameplay. Whether the developers at Arrowhead Game Studios will implement this change remains uncertain, but the post has gained significant traction on the game’s Reddit page, indicating that it has likely been seen by someone at the studio.
The Machine Gun sentry is completely redundant once you hit level 5. Let’s make it like the EAT, give it a cool down of 1 minute so it’s something you can call down often and quickly. Right now it’s the only really useless stratagem, but this could give it utility.by

Many comments support the suggestion and offer additional ideas to enhance the sentry gun’s performance, such as increasing its ammo capacity or providing it with multiple charges. While some players agree that the sentry gun is ineffective, others point to other stratagems, like the ballistic guard dog, as equally problematic. Differing opinions exist within the community, but most players seem to concur that the sentry gun is in need of improvement. Hopefully, a buff is on the horizon for this stratagem.
