Helldivers 2 - Slugger vs Breaker vs Punisher Direct Comparison (Helldiver Difficulty Tips)

He compares Punisher (360 damage), Slugger (280, tested medium-armor penetration), and Breaker (330, magazine-fed, rapid fire). Testing finds Punisher powerful against unarmored targets but slow to reload and ineffective against medium armor; its rating is 6.2/10. Slugger repeatedly kills armored heads and legs quickly, outperforming Punisher and Breaker; Breaker handles small enemies but ricochets off armor.

He increasingly favors Slugger as armor bugs and unclear weapon mechanics frustrate him.
