AX/LAS-5 "Guard Dog" Rover

Helldiver, when you are facing down a pack of ravenous bugs, you want someone to have your back watching over you. The best way for someone to watch your back is to strap them to it! When you select this stratagem, you will have a flying robot sentry circle around you, clearing away the common chaff using the LAS-5 Scythe. Your back buddy allows you to focus your chosen dispenser of Liberty upon the more heavily armored units.

Stratagem Code
Players must enter the following sequence in order to call down the Stratagem during a mission:

Role The role of the Guard Dog Rover is to assist in clearing the lightly armored units taking up your backpack slot. Its effectiveness is limited to lightly armored targets or weak spots. The little guy is fearless and will attempt to take down heavily armored units, but it ends up being all bark and no bite.

Tips and Tricks
 * The AX/LAS-5 "Guard Dog" Rover is armed with a LAS-5 Scythe which benefits from exceptional staying power when compared to the AD-334 Guard Dog (which is armed with a AR-19 Liberator. It is not restricted by ammo capacity and can fire continuously for a very long time. While it will eventually overheat, it can dock on a Helldiver’s backpack to cooldown and return to action a few seconds later.
 * The Rover performs exceptionally well against Terminids, whose main strategy involves throwing dozens of expendable underlings at the Helldivers. Focus on the larger units allowing the Rover to clear out the swarms of Scavengers rushing you.
 * The Rover is exceptionally useful for protecting you on the run, allowing you to kite packs of bugs efficiently. Whether it is to maintain your survival or so that you can focus on traveling to the next objective.
 * The Rover often works as an early warning system, targeting mobs often before you are able to spot them. It is also useful for detecting Stalkers through their invisibility.

Warnings
 * The Rover has a large agro range and will engage enemy units when you are attempting to reach an objective stealthily.
 * whilst the Rover will not deliberately target you or your teammates, it will not stop firing its laser if you happen to get in the way, so be watchful when hostiles move into melee range. Using crouch can reduce your chance of being hit but, with a little practice, you'll begin to know how to position yourself to avoid friendly fire altogether.
