Gameplay Tips

 * The Quasar Cannon can be used to destroy Automaton Fabricators and Bug Holes with a direct shot.
 * The Quasar Cannon can shoot down Automaton Dropships with a shot to the bottom of a thruster.
 * It can also destroy parked Dropships by hitting them anywhere.
 * The Quasar Cannon can kill Chargers with a single shot to the head, as well as a Bile Titan with 2-3 shots to the head.
 * It can also destroy Tanks and Hulks with two shots to the vents.
 * Like other laser weapons, the Quasar Cannon will continue to cool down when not equipped, giving the user the freedom to use other weapons during its recharge period.
 * Unlike other LAS weapons, the Quasar Cannon does not feature any ammo, instead having to charge up and cool off for each shot. This gives the Quasar Cannon far greater staying power than most other heavy weapons.
 * The main weakness of the Quasar Cannon is its long cooldown of around 10 seconds between each shot, making it difficult for Helldivers to dispatch large number of heavily armored enemies that assaults them simultaneously.
 * When targeting weak points of heavily armored enemies like Hulks and Chargers, it is recommended aim down sights rather than from third person, the built in scope has a substantial level of zoom and can make all the difference when trying to kill a distant Heavy before it reaches you.
 * This also applies to tough but agile enemies like Dropships, Gunships and Stalkers.
