Rain Down Hot Lead
This for-fun build is great for harvesting hearty Democratic laughs with your fellow Helldivers. Any combination of the below Sentry Stratagems will work, just be sure to stay behind the line of fire. Although the EMS Mortar Sentry is unlocked at level 20, you can run this build with any combination of sentries making the earliest that you can run this build level 10.
Although this is better suited for terminids, fun can be had with this build against the automatons as well.
Pro Tip: You can stand on top of sentries to avoid being caught in the line of fire. Or you can lay prone, whichever you’d prefer…
