Hey there, Helldivers! Are you fed up with playing it safe? What if you could take the LAS-16 Sickle and ditch all those annoying safety features? You’re in luck—introducing the LAS-17 Double-Edge Sickle, designed for those who like to live dangerously.
The LAS-17 Double-Edge Sickle is the newest addition to the LAS series and packs a serious punch. However, there are some important things to keep in mind if you want to use it to its full potential. No worries, though! This guide will help you learn how to handle the heat effectively.
What Is The LAS-17 Double-Edge Sickle?
The LAS-17 Double-Edge Sickle is an upgraded heat-based weapon that fires at an impressive rate. As a heat weapon, it can keep firing indefinitely—just don’t let it overheat.
You can still fire the weapon even when it’s overheated, but you’ll take damage in the process.
How To Get The LAS-17 Double-Edge Sickle
To get the LAS-17, access the Acquisition Center on your cruiser. Navigate to the Servants Of Freedom Warbond and buy it for 1000 Super Credits. You’ll find the LAS-17 on the first page of the Warbond and need to collect 35 Medals to unlock it.
How To Use The LAS-17 Double-Edge Sickle
The LAS-17 is an extremely powerful primary weapon that can penetrate any armor type, making it effective against all enemy factions. The weapon takes a short moment to charge before firing, which you can see as a bar on its side. If the heat gauge reaches about a quarter, you’ll start to take damage as long as you keep firing.
To mitigate the overheated damage, it’s wise to equip gear that minimizes this effect. Armors with the Inflammable trait offer 75% fire resistance, significantly lowering the damage you incur. To completely negate damage from overheating, combine the Inflammable Armor trait with the Vitality Enhancement Booster.
