Helldivers 2 | Helldivers 1 |
In Helldivers 2, players can equip different weapons at the Armory or in one of the Hellpods on the Bridge before deploying on missions.
Weapons have different damage types. Most have recoil. For an in-depth comparison, visit this article.
Most ‘weaponry’ can be unlocked through Warbonds using Medals, with only nine exceptions.
All support weapons are purchased through Ship Management with requisition slips, except for two.
Support weapons are chosen 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 can also be discovered at various POIs.
The civilian-grade support weapon is only found on the ground and cannot be called in.
