The illuminated Stingray -jet aircraft (also called interlopers) is another type of enemy in Helldivers 2. Instead of holding on the battlefield for some time, these foreign vehicles throw in and out of the battle, perform penalties on players and force troops to crawl after coverage. Their presence is not as oppressive as automaton weapons, but the threat they constitute is just as serious.
When it comes to fighting against any fraction in Helldivers 2Bringing the correct load is the key to success. In this guide, we will cover the best weapons players can use specifically to take down illuminating stingrays without inhibiting their effectiveness against everything else that this fraction throws at them.

Helldivers 2: Weapons adjustment guide
Here is a quick guide for how to think about your favorite guns with Helldivers 2's weapons adaptation system.
Best weapon against Illuminate Stingrays in Helldivers 2
Continues with the Illuminate's trend to use no heavy armor, stingrays can be taken down by anything that can penetrate medium armor. However, they are quite sustainable, so weapons like the Liberator Penetrator can take them down, it will take a while before they can. The best weapons to use against these octopus vessels are:
Plasma rifle
Either cleaner or scorcher can ruin Stingrays fairly quickly, as long as players can beat enough shots before Stingray flies off. For cleaner fans, it is better to just spam your weapon in enemy jet's general direction instead of uploading your pictures.
The good thing about these plasmal rifles is that they are also effective against all other lights Except for harvesters. This is especially true for supervisors and the hulky meat mobs. Just be careful when shooting these rifles on everything that comes too close to you or your teammates.
Exclusion
Thanks to Eruptor's injury profile and how Shrapnel works in the game, this weapon can reliably take out Stingrays with 1-2 direct hits. These are the best performance that players can get from a primary weapon when it comes to taking out Stingrays, and as they move with a predictable pattern, it should not be difficult to beat them.
Eruptor is also very similar to plasma rifles when it comes to performance against other lighting units. Harvesters still take a while to kill with this weapon, and if you have nothing to strip harvest shields with, you will have a horrible time against them. Make sure to bring an Eruptor load that works best against the lighting.
Support weapons
APW-1 Anti-Pattering rifle is Undoubtedly the best support weapon against the lighting. It is about all their devices with surprising efficiency, and it is easy enough to enable decent mobility for when things become dice. You still need a second or two to set your pictures, but that's where the Wasp start comes in.
The STA-X3 WASP start shoots small rockets that track what the weapon is locked on. If you have trouble beating Stingrays with AMR or any other weapon, the WASP starter is your best option.
Like all other weapons mentioned above, the wasp shooter is also very versatile when it comes to fighting. It can lock in supervisors, meat mobs and harvesters and can kill all these goals reasonably quickly.
