The Best S-Tier Build vs Appropriators - Helldivers 2

This S-tier build absolutely destroys the new Appropriator sub-faction in Helldivers 2. If you’ve been struggling against the Illuminate mechs, obtruders, and overseers, this setup gives you full coverage for every enemy type while staying consistent for solo and team play. The combination of the Eruptor + Machine Gun gives you insane damage, while the P-92 Warrant and Guard Dog help clean up everything else. On top of that, gas grenades and smart stratagem choices make this build feel incredibly safe and controlled, even in chaotic fights. If you’re looking for a meta loadout that can handle everything the Appropriators throw at you, this is one of the best builds you can run right now. Let me know what builds you’ve been using against the Illuminate, and if you’d change anything in this setup.
