The AX/LAS-5 "Guard Dog" Rover is a backpack stratagem able to provide support fire to supplement the helldiver's own arsenal. Able to clear small enemies relatively quickly, it frees up the owner to be able to respond to more dangerous threats like chargers and hulks.

Stats

  • Call-in Time: 5 sec (9 sec in-game)
  • Uses: Unlimited
  • Cooldown Time: 480 Seconds (8 Minutes)

Tactical Information

  • Excellent at dispatching smaller enemies, unable to deal with large enemies.
    • Good choice to bring when the Helldiver has a Primary Weapon with a slow rate of fire, and a Support Weapon not designed to dispatch large groups of smaller enemies easily.
  • Like all automated weapons, it's very liberal about dispensing Democracy. Helldivers are advised to be aware of it at all times and avoid its laser. Headshots are especially lethal.
  • Will need repairs if within an explosion or a heavy hit, even if the Helldiver was not harmed.
