Helldivers 2: How to Get and Use the LAS-5 Scythe

Helldivers 2 is a shooter game that lets you use many different weapons. One of these weapons is the LAS-5 Scythe. It's a laser gun that shoots a beam. You might think a laser gun sounds cool, but is the LAS-5 Scythe really worth getting? This article will tell you how to get the LAS-5 Scythe and if it's a good choice for fighting.

How to Get the LAS-5 Scythe

To get the LAS-5 Scythe, you need to go to the Warbond Page Five. You can buy it there for 30 Medals. But, you might need to unlock the pages before Page Five first. To do this, you have to spend Medals on the pages you have unlocked. Keep doing this until you reach Page Five, where you can buy the LAS-5 Scythe.

Is the LAS-5 Scythe a Good Choice?

Despite the allure of a laser weapon, the LAS-5 Scythe fails to live up to expectations in Helldivers 2. The weapon's damage output falls short compared to other primary weapons in the game. While it can be useful for lighter tasks, relying heavily on the LAS-5 Scythe can put your team at a disadvantage, especially if there are no heavy-damage dealers present.

While LAS-5 Scythe has some utility in specific situations, players are advised to invest in alternative options such as the Laser Cannon or the Guard Dog Rover for more effective laser-based combat. Ultimately, the decision to acquire and use the LAS-5 Scythe will depend on personal preference and playstyle, but it is important to weigh its limitations against other available weapons in Helldivers 2.
