There are many Stratagems to choose from inHelldivers 2but there is one that will make players extremely overpowered on the battlefield. The FAF-14 Spear is an anti-tank homing missile launcher that locks on certain enemies. With enough ammo, players can easily take out enemy outposts and various enemies from a distance.
Although this weapon is extremely powerful, there are certain circumstances under which it works. For example, the target needs to be fully visible in the reticle to lock on so walls or rocks will prevent it from locking onto things. When launched, the missile is highly guaranteed to hit, no matter how far players are.
The FAF-14 Spear is an overpowered Stratagem thatHelldivers 2players love
Recently, a Reddit post in ther/Helldivers2subreddit put the spotlight on the FAF-14 Spear Stratagem in Helldivers 2. This support weapon fires an anti-tank homing missile after locking it onto a target, annihilating it on impact. However, this whole process takes a lot of patience as the Spear struggles with targeting enemies. It can be unlocked using 9,000 Requisition Slips but requires players to be at least level 20.
Helldivers 2’s Worst Stratagem Needs to be Made into a Drone Station to Actually be Useful
Players believe that with enough ammo, this weapon can turn one Helldiver into a “one man army.” In a video clip shared by Reddit user GelindoMastroFornaio, one can see how effective this weapon is, particularly against the Automaton units. The call-in time for this Stratagem is 3 seconds while the cooldown time is 480 seconds. It can be used unlimited times on the battlefield so players shouldn’t have a hard time completing missions with this Stratagem.
The FAF-14 Spear has some limitations
Helldivers 2players avoid the Spear only because of its targeting system. Players often find themselves standing in the middle of the battlefield trying to lock onto targets but it just doesn’t seem to work, however, some players have stated that switching between first-person and third-person views can sometimes solve this issue.Like many other Stratagems in the game, players want Arrowhead to make this weapon stronger.

The missile needs to be locked before firing and in case, a wall or a rock obstructs the weapon’s view, it doesn’t allow the players to lock on. These are the enemies that the FAF-14 Spear locks on: Bot Fabricators, Parked Automaton Dropships, Gunships, Cannon Turrets, Stratagem Jammers (with fabricator only), Hulks, Annihilator and Shredder Tanks, Scout Striders, Factory Striders, Brood Commanders, Shriekers, Stalkers (Uncloaked), Chargers, and Bile Titans.
Helldivers 2is available on Windows and PlayStation 5.
