How to get 50 kills with the Autocannon in Helldivers 2
Getting 50 kills with the Autocannon fast means playing to its strengths - specifically that while its medium armor penetration can kill most things in a few shots, it's basically useless against heavily armored enemies like Helldivers 2 Hulks and Chargers. You might get a kill targeting less-armored weak points like a Hulk's rear heat sinks but you're basically making this order harder if you do. Instead be sure to use its extreme range to snipe less armored enemies but take advantage of its high fire rate to blast foes apart if they get too close. Just watch out for the recoil.

Firing all 10 shots and then doing a full reload can take a while, so fire eight or nine shots instead, and then reload for a faster animation. You won't often have the full 10-rounds at your disposal, but it's a worthwhile compromise to ensure you don't get caught short.
In terms of a mission type that will help you get this Autocannon Personal Order competed faster I recommend any normal mission on Easy difficulty as heavily armored enemies cannot spawn at this difficulty. That means you can kill any Helldivers 2 enemy type you come across here. Given the Autocannon's ranged strengths, the Helldivers 2 Automatons are probably the easier faction to fight with this weapon too. If you use up the almost the entire 40-minute mission timer, you should easily complete this Personal Order in a single mission, bagging yourself 15 Medals to spend on weapons, such as those in the Helldivers 2 Democratic Detonation Warbond.
