![]() Once ready we began a long descent down into the complex, strapped into our pods looking at one another awkwardly.Ĭo-Founder Svante Vinternatt and streamer Viktor Viklund joined myself and Derek, another journalist, on the expedition to help keep us alive. Within the lobby, we prepared our soldiers in a similar way to how PAYDAY 2 works, choosing three weapons -two ranged and one melee- and a tool. A1 and A2 were the only ones we dared venture to, at least to start. Put all of this together, and the HEL Rifle is best used with other supporting weapons when taking on giant type enemies.At the Rundown screen that appears when we boot the game, we’re presented with numerous expeditions, their difficulty growing harder the further down they go. This is especially punishing considering the slow fire rate, small mag, and long reload. Its range and damage make it a good initial pick, but its propensity to blow entire chunks of the strikers' body parts off means follow up shots may miss, requiring aim correction to reduce time and ammo wasted. The biggest difference between the HEL Gun and the HEL Rifle is the latter's ability to one-shot Strikers in the body while the former possesses significantly more ammunition and more ammo per magazine making it more suited for waves than the HEL Rifle.Īgainst Big Strikers the HEL Rifle is a bit of a mixed bag. The Köning meanwhile has a much higher zoom on its scope, deals more per-shot damage, and combined with its large precision multiplier of x2.0025 (contrasted with the HEL Rifle's abysmal precision multiplier of x0.73), is able to one shot big enemies in the head, unlike the HEL rifle. ![]() The Hel Rifle has the potential to be greatly more ammo efficient than the Köning if each shot is hitting 2 or more big enemies at a time. The most immediate difference is the total ammo count where the HEL Rifle pulls ahead with over twice as much total ammo and two additional shots in each mag. While similar in range, damage, and combat role, the Köning and HEL Rifle differ in many ways. It is a suitable weapon for killing individual Strikers as it one-shots them anywhere on the body - although if not using the penetrative effects this can be viewed as inefficient in terms of ammo.Ĭomparison to Köning PR 11 Sniper Rifle In addition, its small magazine size and long reload make it a poor choice for waves although that can be somewhat rectified by good positioning to take advantage of the piercing rounds.įundamentally, the HEL Rifle is best used to pick off Scouts, and in long straight passageways where its penetrative abilities wreak havoc. In terms of capabilities, it offers high damage but suffers a low rate of fire as it has a very brief charge up time before each shot. Its main and strongest quality is its bullet penetration, being able to kill multiple enemies in a single shot. However unlike the Köning, it cannot one-shot Big Strikers, even to the back of the head. Unlike the HEL Gun, the HEL Rifle will one-shot Strikers, Shooters, and Chargers anywhere in the body, eliminating the need for headshots. 1.1 Comparison to Köning PR 11 Sniper RifleĬompared to its sister weapon, the HEL Gun, the HEL Rifle functions as a sniper, serving as an alternative to the Köning PR 11 Sniper Rifle.
