Sergeants (level 10) and higher can unlock then purchase attachments and patterns by acquiring weapon experience then spending Requisition Slips.

Support Weapons

Support weapons are selected as part of your loadout during deployment. Once on the battlefield, Helldivers can summon these weapons by inputting a unique stratagem code and throwing a beacon on the ground. They are then delivered from the Destroyer to the planet's surface via Hellpods. Certain supports are either exclusive to or also available at various POIs.
