Getting 50 kills with the Autocannon fast means playing to its strengths - specifically that whileits medium armor penetration can kill most things in a few shots, it’s basically useless against heavily armored enemies likeHelldivers 2 HulksandChargers.You might get a kill targeting less-armored weak points like a Hulk’s rear heat sinks but you’re basically making this order harder if you do. Instead be sure to use its extreme range to snipe less armored enemies but take advantage of its high fire rate to blast foes apart if they get too close. Just watch out for the recoil.

The Autocannon has a 10-round magazine that is reloaded with two cartridges of five rounds each. Firing all 10 shots and then doing a full reload can take a while, so  fire eight or nine shots instead, andthenreload for a faster animation. You won’t often have the full 10-rounds at your disposal, but it’s a worthwhile compromise to ensure you don’t get caught short.
