​ Helldivers 2 has a newly discovered bug that provides players with an unintended advantage: infinite ammo on certain laser weapons. The glitch applies to LAS-16 Sickle, LAS-5 Scythe, and LAS-7 Dagger and lets them fire infinitely without overheating or reloading.​

To get the exploit to trigger, players fire the weapon until it overheats and then reload. As soon as the white ammo icon pops in the inventory menu, they turn to a secondary weapon real quick, and they follow that up by equipping back to the primary weapon. This sequence skips the heat mechanic, getting you to fire continuously. It’s worth noting this bug does not extend to the Laser Cannon or Double-Edged Sickle.​

The glitch emerged after some recent game updates, which were intended to fix other weapon issues, like the Quasar Cannon and Auto-Cannon. Even though those fixes were successful, they accidentally introduced this new problem. The Helldivers 2 devs have not addressed the bug yet, so inevitably, some people have been speculating about when the patch will finally be released to fix the infinite ammo bug.​

The community reactions are so far mixed. It is very helpful to some while others are wary of its integrity. This issue is definitely talked about on forums and social media platforms, saying that something must be done to fix this for fair gameplay. However, no formal word is given at this point on how to fix this problem.
