The Liberation of Cyberstan is underway, and the Helldivers have made landfall, blitzing through the first major order, taking down an incredible seven hundred million Automatons in just 14 hours.
After some experimenting, we’ve put together a few builds to help reclaim the remaining Cyberstan cities, and we think you’re going to like them.

Cyberstan Saboteur
This build is absolutely top tier against the Automatons on Cyberstan. Stealth build with lots of demolition power to easily clear bases and side objectives for your team. Also works very well as a Solo Build even on Super Helldive.
Primary: R-72 Censor
- 1-taps Cyborg Radicals (Headshot)
- Good damage and accuracy, go for Devastator headshots always.
- 1-taps most Troopers with body shots.
- Silenced, pairs great with your armor passive.
Secondary: P-4 Senator
- You need something to take out Gunships.
- Can kill Hulks by shooting them in the eye.
Throwable: TED-63 Dynamite
- Destroys Bot Fabricators easily, just chuck it to the side of the building.
- Throw below dropships as they’re dropping troops, easy kills.
Armor Passive: Reduced Signature
- Critical to making this build work. Redacted Regiment armors have it.
- You can literally walk past enemies with this passive equipped.
Booster: Hellpod Optimization
- Brings full Dynamite and magazines for your Primary. Important.
Support Weapon/Backpack: B/MD C4 Pack
- Use a single C4 Pack on War Striders, Hulks for easy kills

B-100 Portable Hellbomb
- Stealth Armor Passive + Portable Hellbomb, easy Jammer demolition strategy.
- Drop your C4 Backpack, walk 150 meters away from the Jammer. Call and equip Portable Hellbomb, run it in and easily destroy the jammer for your team, or solo.
Orbital Laser

Eagle 500kg Bomb

Bot Slayer – Super Helldive Automaton Build
This is as strong as a meta build can get when fighting against the bots.
Primary: R-36 Eruptor
- Easily kills Devastators with body shots. Accurate enough to get around the shields of Heavy Devastators.
- Destroys Reinforced Scout Striders effortlessly by targeting their legs.
- Can kill Hulks in a pinch by targeting their eyes.
Secondary: GP-20 Ultimatum
- Solid Anti-Tank option for Hulks, War Striders and Factory Striders.
- War Striders will often survive indirect hits, so try to aim for a direct hit to a leg.
- Can finish off damaged Vox Engines.
Throwable: G-123 Thermite
- Extremely effective anti-tank grenade. Also destroys Automaton buildings with ease.
Armor Passive: Fortified
- 50% explosive damage resistance. Highly effective against Rocket Raiders, Reinforced Scout Striders, and Rocket Devastators.

Orbital Laser
- Fantastic stratagem for when you’re being overrun, or if you need to quickly clear an Automaton base.
Eagle Cluster Bomb
- Because most of this build revolves around Anti-Tank, you’ll want something to help with chaff clear.
Autocannon Sentry
- Great to throw down when you need to hold a position.
- Has ANTI-TANK rounds and capable of killing Hulks and War Striders.
Bastion Tank Crew – Anti-Automaton
This build is mainly designed for riding as a passenger in the Bastion Tank on the bot front. It’s most effective when covering the flanks of the tank that the gunner can’t reach.
The goal is to create a build that doesn’t depend on ammo, allowing you to stay in the tank for as long as possible.
Primary: LAS-17 Double-Edge Sickle
- Infinite Ammo if used properly. Great damage output.
Secondary: LAS-58 Talon
- Infinite Ammo if used properly. Pinpoint Accuracy
Throwable: G-123 Thermite
- Extremely effective anti-tank grenade. Also destroys Automaton buildings with ease.
HEAVY ARMOR – Fortified Passive
- You’ll be getting hit by stray rockets and lasers while in the tank, while also not relying on stamina. Heavy armor is a great choice.
- Fortified Passive (50% explosive damage resistance) for improved survivability.
Booster: Vitality
- Stacks with the Heavy Armor to make you much harder to kill.
Support Weapon: Quasar Cannon
- Infinite Ammo, No Backpack.
- 1-Shots Hulks/War Striders with proper shot placement.
Orbital Laser
- Perfect for providing cover when calling in a tank or for quickly taking out enemy bases to conserve main gun shells.
Backpack: Shield Generator Backpack
- Stops small amounts of damage. Massive increase in survivability when paired with Heavy Armor.
- Protects the tank a little bit as well.
- Decreases your Stim usage. Infinite Shield Regeneration.
TD-220 Bastion MK XVI
- Having multiple divers bring tanks means that if one is destroyed or damaged, you can quickly swap it out for another.
- With a cooldown of over 7 minutes, having three tank stratagems is ideal.
