- The LAS-98 Laser Cannon is a strong stratagem. Maybe even better than the Quasar.
Here are some clips to showcase the power of the cannon.

“CooSar ” 🤓 ☝🏼
was gonna say 😂
Quasar has a purpose, and that purpose is different than the Laser’s. People try to use the Las-99 in the Las-98’s niche, so of course the Laser seems objectively better. The Las-99 is a utility weapon, built for blowing up tanks, turrets, and emplacements from any angle and taking out fabricators from the front, with a side of blasting big stuff like gunships and hulks. The Las-98 is an anti-unit tool, designed to fight everything at the cost of reduced efficacy against heavy armor. Yeah, the Laser goes crazy against bots, but the Quasar goes crazy against the stuff the bots build. It just so happens that the Las-98’s niche is the one that’s needed more. I think that both weapons are meant to be supplementary, so you should pick whichever one covers the weaknesses of your loadout better.
Good take
Actually extremely helpful comment. I see so many using the quasar successfully online and in game. So I tried it, but I did not find the same overall success (thought it was still pretty fun to use, until I started dying while using it). Meanwhile I started seeing laser vids pop up showing it accomplish what I needed, despite previously hearing it was trash.
I know that each weapon has different intended roles, but it’s a bit unclear what each weapon’s true niche is, especially when so many people just pick one to run with everything. I hope info on weapon/stratagem niche and team composition is discussed and developed by the community in the future.
Sounds to me like trying to prove it's not useless
Quasar is anti-everything. Even fabricators. No AoE, but shoots like good ol' railgun pre-nerf.
Charging up is just a little price to pay.
Laser cannon on the other side is anti-medium weapon. You need to be precise to burn hulk's eye. It's not just one shot. You need to be lasering it down for some TIME.
If you don't have time - well bye bye to your damage.
In turn you can charge up quasar behind the cover and only show up your face for half a second to make a shot
Ah yes, taking out things from any angle... in half a minute.
@@bragoen perhaps, but you can do other stuff while the cannon cools down, and if there’s nothing else to do, you’re probably in a position where you can follow up the first Quasar shot with something to the vent to finish it off in moments, negating your argument.
Bro has never heard the word quasar out loud before

Helldiver spidey-senses kicked in JUST in time lmao
Las-98 was the first weapon that made me feel useful against bots, especially trying to learn the game playing like 95% bots, I've been messing around with the some Quasar now, but headshots with a continuous stream are free real estate and so much fun
My tip for doing the pipeline thing on the terminal is.... Work backwards! Go right to left. Hope that helps. Thanks, Joozies! Great vid.
Good idea thank you
yup, going backwards and just paying attention to the piece that change levels is mostly what matters.
My main complaints with the laser cannon are it is difficult to see precisely where you're hitting and to maintain that target, and the visual and audible feedback for dealing damage is not existent.
They need to make it easier to determine if you're landing for normal and critical damage. It's silly that the only feedback is the blue sparks since those mean deflect.
Yea maybe some hit markers
Would be nice if they added a consistent white/red hit marker for as long as the beam is on target and not richocheting for laser weapons
Yeah tho after a while of using the laser cannon you start getting used to it, if you're precise with it you can shred devastators in seconds
That damn airship ttk is crazy enough to make me sold on this weapon, hate those gunships
Yes you become ANTI AIR
Did they change this or you need to shoot the bottom of the engine? I burned an entire heatsink on the same engine without downing dropships
@@Brometheus420 Always aim for the engines.
@@Shinobubu I tried shooting it in the middle and bottom and I can't seem to kill a single dropship with laser cannon lol
@@Brometheus420 dropship?! no man, LC cant take down a dropship, those gunships tho, yes, not the big ones
Good stuff big pimp 🙏

KWAY-sar.
Like the fucking IRL object in space. It’s pretty cool. Look it up.

I seriously like both the Quasar and the Laser Cannon.
You can put out continuous damage with an all-energy loadout and the Laser Cannon, and it will take out most things up to the Hulks and Chargers.
But playing with a Laser Cannon almost feels incomplete without a Jump Pack in the load out. Otherwise, it takes so damn long to break line of sight on Tanks and maneuver around them to hit them on the heat sinks, and that is IF you can flank around them without getting shot up by everything else supporting the tank. Then there's also the sad reality that even when continuously hitting a weak spot that the Laser Cannon can be effective against, it can take up to 3mins of total time firing with the Laser Cannon to take out a Bile Titan and I have yet to see a documentation for TTK of the Laser Cannon on the Automaton Factory Striders.
But the Quasar allows me to not have to fall back and flank and just fight anything head on. Quasar can take out a Bile Titan in two headshots and an Automaton Factory Strider in about 5-6 shots.
I rock a Laser Cannon and a Jump Pack when I feel like being a mobile flanking demon. When I don't run the Laser Cannon, I run the Quasar.
I just love that you said "I have yet to see a documentation" as in an actual academic essay, woau 😊
@johnokazaki7967 I never said anything about "academic essays" but okay...
My recent preferred pick has been the antimaterial rifle, leaves me mobile with the ability to quick clear any heavy units in a flash when you do get crowded. The only thing that is a slog is Factory Striders but that is where Eagle airstrike comes in clutch and if push comes to shove I always have the option to dive under the strider and shoot it from below although that is less than ideal but it does work in a pinch.
You can pop the rockets on the devastators really fast with the laser cannon. Also you can blow up mortars from any angle. Doesn't have to be in the vents.
Thanks for the tip, just started yesterday. But you learn pretty fast what works and doesn’t
Glad it helped!
The flaw with the laser is that it does not melt armor prolonged hit in the same location should burn through armor. To add this effect they could add a stacking armor pen for continuous hit in a location. That would fit with the functionality of this kind of weapon.
The stun is critical to this build, which is one reason to consider grenade armor. I also like recoil armor for steady aim to hold on the bot eyes. Remember it works while standing also.
Wp, this was an amazing gameplay!

Been carrying the Las Cannon for a while now. it's great for swatting gunships and giving Hulks leg pains and eye pains.
What gun is the primary and the secondsry?
lofi helldiver
It’s always a chill dive
Pretty strong combo. Eruptor works really well on beserkers found out yesterday.
I try this same stuff and get shot right in the face. Every. Time. It is like my character has a head that is 10x too large.
Quasar, hit and run
Laser, aiming aiming, and u dived into hell
You said the stim duration armor. But what type, light? Looks like a light?
I usually run light but if you want to limit being one hit use medium. Light allows you to dodge better
Oh, another tip is to try orbital EMS. It last soooo long (I count 15s) you can kill everything in its radius.
I love the laser, its so much fun
It definitely is fun to melt these bots
@@Joozies the jetpack feels so cool and broken until you get stuck randomly and can't climb 💀
Laser bonus tip: you don't have to shoot the Mortars in the Heatsink to do damage with the laser cannon
"case-oh" cannon fr
I use quasar on the bugs. it blows up the big mushrooms pretty well.
"Kwayy-Zarr"
i wish more people would coordinate with one anothers loadout, youll go in with randoms and everyone will bring a quasar, there needs to be more variety among squadmates loadouts, i try to bring different things from my teammates all the time, also even though they nerfed the railgun it is still one of the best weapons to use against hulks, if you can shoot them in the face on unsafe mode
Well daym yeah, actually pretty good huh!
It be slapping
That laser is great....lets see it aginst the bugs now.
Not as great vs bugs lol
Full laser load out challenge. Helldive difficulty. Complete all MAIN OBJ's and extract. @@Joozies
If you have a teammate they have to have the same loadout. 😅
Should be okay with rover and sickle, with your last slot being a 500kg or a emf mortar
Really tried liking the laser. I just think it needs a slight buff. Perhaps better accuracy..
it's accurate if you use it like a laser pen and not use first person mode.
Guys I literally got kicked for trying to argue that the laser cannon does some damage through heavy frontal armor on the bots. Lol. The other guy said that once you see the blue deflection effect, it does no damage at all. But I think it still does some. Who's right?
Can it break fabricators?
Nah. Use airstrike or grenade pistol
lazer with lazer drone with jetpak…
It doesn’t always work :( shooting the ship down
How is this on helldive and you have like 5 max enemies to deal with at a time?
Booster localization confusion. Reduces enemy bot drops
@Joozies oh, guess that is a good one for running solo. I just played a solo for today's personal order and I don't really notice the increase in patrols the new update brings. But I usually just do solos for personal orders so it's not often I play that way. You piss me off with how easy you make shit look lol good stuff man I'm digging the channel.
Laser Cannon and AMR against bots for life :) the stun combo against hulks is so good! Everyone is running from them and I run towards them like hold my beer noobs :)
Did people genuinely think it was better against bots though? Even pre nerf, the auto canon, AMR, laser cannon.... theyre all much better at dealing with bits. After the nerf, god forbid you miss a hulks eye or get pinged with a long range shot while charging it up, now you have to wait 16 seconds before youll get another shot off, thats horrible. Ive started bringing EATs and recoilless a lot more even against bugs.
I really want to love the laser cannon but despite it being fun, i just can’t seem to enjoy it, i guess it’s because i prefer to kill devastators with my support weapon because i just find that fun, while the laser cannon isn’t great for devastators.
What do you mean? It's pretty damn good for Devastators. Aim for the eyes and melt them with sustained fire while peering out of cover. No recoil and perfect accuracy means you can reliably point it at the weakspot. Rocket Devs can be crippled by lasering their shoulder rockets while you're at long range and undetected.
@@LazarultosI mean heavy devastators mb sorry
Kway-zar
Coo sar
Bots yes….bugs NO 🤷♂️ you ain’t killing a charger, Titan, or Spewer quick enough to not get got
Quasar is a worse recoilless for people who have ammo insecurity. People are willing to look away from all the flaws because it's the latest new toy. There's a time and a place for the Quasar but right now it's way over represented with people who have never learned to run the Las-98 or recoilless.
W COMMENT
I really really hate the slow charge up rate of the Quasar it just becomes a weapon of opportunity and not a great weapon in a degraded and dynamic situation. Though it has saved my ass with 1 charger. the 2nd charger gave me a face massage.
Idk I use the quasar like I would the EAT but I dont have to wait or call it down all the time
Quasar isn't a worse recoilless, it's a different weapon. You trade rate of fire and ammo management for being able to move without having to manually reload and infinite ammo. I get that it's over represented and it's true, when a team has 3/4 quasar you either obliterate everything in the first shots or get overwhelmed. A bit awkward and I don't like it, loadout diversity is what gives you power and team synergy.
@@groucho4948Here's 2 weapons that are basically identical. One also says you can't wear any other backpack while the other one doesn't. That makes one of them worse don't you agree? Just for that reason alone you understand that they have to balance the one that allows you to have a backpack to be a bit worse.
lol it’s not “kwah-sarr” it’s “kway-zarr” I swear CZcamsr helldivers mispronounce the funniest words sometimes
Coo sar
Preeeeetty sure that was intentional.
Neat video, but I think you’re prioritizing poorly. Shoot the infantry first, not the hulks and devastators… only the infantry will call in bot drops.
Laser and quasar are both great but do different things.
Sorry, not convinced. 2 Shots quasar kills canons from any side, not just on the weak spot, where any weapon can kill them. If you need a stun grenade to kill a hulk, it is not great at all. Arc Thrower shines at that, since it just stuns them while shooting. You can even shoot down Gunships with many primaries, just needs some hits on the thrusters. The quasar is still superior, since it just one-shots them even from miles away, where you have little chance using other weapons. Biggest downfall of the laser is the stand several seconds and fire on moving targets, the situation, where you just have a single gunship or other mob to shoot at with all time of the world, is very rare on high difficulties.
You would have more versatility with one person using this in a game and others using a QC. If you have 3hulks charging you. The QC will take like a minute to take them out. One shot if you are good but typically takes two. Stun them and laser them all is way faster ttk. Good take tho
I’ve taken out 4 gunships immediately after they left factory. Trivializes gunships.
I’ve had multiple hulks chase me with the quasar and had to kite them for 15 seconds waiting on cooldown and that was using stuns to ensure a 1 shot. Laser cannon can kill both in 5 seconds and if you have distance doesn’t require a stun.
Quasars ability to take out fabricators is horrendous, has to be a straight on shot and just above the opening of the vent. Only time I would ever use this is if I’m taking out a jammer and no enemies around.
Not to mention if you ever miss a shot with the quasar, it is brutal with that cooldown and spin up
“What is this hitbox arrow head? Fix it!”
Yo modern gamers are so fucking lame and complain about the smallest problems. No respect for the craft that goes into making banger games like HD2.
You think we could yell at devs to fix hit boxes in PS2 games back in the day (let me tell you, SOCOM had some shit geometry)? No. We just played around it lol.
Nah that invisible barrier was crazy.
Stating your opinion as fact is not it
Then don't take it as a fact simple.
@@Mulpan575_likes_MOYAM don't worry I didn't
Kway-zar. I googled it myself a few days ago cause I said it the same way and caught flak for it and was curious. 😂
Coosar, queso, croissant . Cannon
