Helldivers 2 Marksman Rifle Falls Short in Close Combat
- Intended to fill gap between assault rifle & sniper rifle, but enemies rarely far away to utilize it
- Enemies swarm you immediately when firing, diminishing long-range viability
- Poor visibility on planets also reduces usefulness
- Some players like author find success picking off weak enemies, but less effective vs heavy armor
- Less useful against Terminids that can quickly overwhelm; better options for close combat
