<p data-start="104" data-end="395">The Helldivers 2 Speargun Damage & Guide (2025 Update) has become a hot topic among players looking to maximize their efficiency against both bugs and automatons. With recent balance tweaks, the Speargun is no longer just a niche weapon&mdash;it&rsquo;s a serious contender in any squad&rsquo;s loadout.

<h2 data-start="397" data-end="434">Why the Speargun Matters in 2025</h2>
<p data-start="435" data-end="805">When Helldivers 2 first launched, the Speargun was seen as situational. Many dismissed it due to its slower reload and limited ammo pool. However, after several patches, its damage output against armored targets has been noticeably improved. The weapon now fills a crucial role for squads needing precision armor penetration without relying solely on heavy stratagems.

<h2 data-start="807" data-end="837">Speargun Damage Breakdown</h2>
<p data-start="838" data-end="1168">The Speargun specializes in high-impact, single-target damage. Against lightly armored enemies, its power feels like overkill, but against hulking Devastators or Chargers, it shines. Current testing shows that two well-placed shots can stagger most medium-class enemies, while three to four are enough to bring down heavy units.

<p data-start="1170" data-end="1455">One of the biggest changes highlighted in the <strong data-start="1216" data-end="1270">Helldivers 2 Speargun Damage & Guide (2025 Update) is the improved projectile consistency. Previously, misfires and awkward hitboxes made the weapon frustrating to use. Now, its trajectory feels more reliable, rewarding skillful aim.
