Overview

The Incendiary Breaker Shotgun in Helldivers 2 is an incendiary weapon unlocked via page 2 of the Premium Steeled Veterans Warbond. It deals 180 damage with light armor penetration and incendiary burn effects, accompanied by a 25-round capacity, 28 recoil, a 300 fire rate, and semi or 3-round burst modes.

The weapon excels at close-quarters crowd control against swarms of light-armored enemies, but suffers from wide pellet spread, low base damage compared to other shotguns, rapid ammunition consumption requiring secondary weapons or resupplies, and ineffectiveness at long ranges or against medium-armored targets.
