Super-Earth propaganda would have you think that all you need to survive inHelldivers 2are nerves of steel and a can-do attitude. The reality, of course, is that you’ll need equipment, including the best weapons available. Once you start fighting larger, more powerful enemies than the average bug, your starting gear won’t cut it.
Unlocking new weapons is hidden behind some menus, so it might not be immediately apparent how to get better guns. Read on to find out how you’re able to get new gear and liberate the galaxy just a little faster.
How To Unlock Primary And Secondary Weapons
Your Helldiver always carries two weapons into battle; their primary weapon and a sidearm. You start with only basic guns available, so a good early goal is to unlock more.
Whenever you’re on board the Super Frigate, take the following steps:
Only the first page of the War Bonds menu is available to begin with; as you spend Medals, you’ll unlock more pages, with more gear to unlock.
Check the Super Credits store in the Acquisition Menu for limited-time gear. you’re able to unlock Super Credits in small quantities by spending Medals, but for the most part you’ll have to purchase them with real money.
How To Unlock Support Weapons
Your third weapon slot is reserved for Support Weapons, heavy firearms that have to be called in via Stratagems. The basic Machine Gun is available to all players, and you may unlock others through gameplay.
If you have multiple Support Weapon Stratagems equipped, you can call all of them! This is perfect for sharing with your team or having an adaptable arsenal ready to drop from orbit.
New Stratagems - including those that provide Support Weapons - are unlocked via theSuper Frigate Upgrade Terminalin the first room of the ship. You’ll need to spendRequisition Points, which are earned forcompleting objectives during operations.The more nests you destroy and missions you complete, and the faster you can extract with most of your squad alive, the quicker you’ll build up RP.
