Helldivers 2 players are currently buzzing about the new R-2124 Constitution rifle with a fixed bayonet, which has become a favorite among gamers despite being considered a ‘junk’ weapon in-game. Originally introduced in the original Helldivers as a meme weapon for players looking to challenge themselves, the rifle has made a comeback as part of the Liberty Day celebration.
Upon logging into the game, players will receive a notification about the rifle and the DP-00 Tactical Armor, both of which are accessible to all players. The rifle may not be the most powerful weapon in the game, but it certainly adds a fun element to gameplay, allowing players to engage in bayonet charges against both friends and enemies.
Active players on Reddit have been organizing line battles with friends, facing off against hordes of bugs with the Constitution rifle in hand. Despite its slow-firing rate, the rifle is surprisingly accurate and effective at taking down enemies with its 180 standard damage and medium penetration power of 3. While it may not be the best choice for eradication missions, it certainly adds a new level of enjoyment to the game.
For those who prefer close-quarters combat, the shotgun in Helldivers 2 has also received a buff, making it a viable alternative to the Constitution rifle. Whether you choose to wield the Constitution or opt for the shotgun, the key is to stand united with your fellow Helldivers as you fight to protect Super Earth from alien threats.
In conclusion, while the R-2124 Constitution rifle may initially seem like a ‘junk’ weapon in Helldivers 2, it has quickly gained popularity among players for its unique gameplay mechanics and fun factor. The Liberty Day celebration has brought new life to this meme weapon, allowing players to engage in thrilling bayonet charges and line battles with friends. So, the next time you log in to Helldivers 2, don’t hesitate to equip the Constitution rifle and join the fight against the bug and bot menaces lurking along the outer rim of Super Earth. Happy gaming, Helldivers!
