Helldivers 2features intense combat and over-the-top enemy hordes that overrun divers if they are not strategic in their missions. While having the best weapons andbest stratagemsin the squad is vital for survival, equipping the Boosters is equally important.
Boosters are passive buffs that all divers in a team get while doing a mission. These indirect buffs make the overall combat easy by offering various effects and combat aid the moment divers come out of the Hellpod. This guide breaks down how to get and use Boosters in the game to maximize combat efficiency in Helldivers 2.
How To Get Boosters
Boosters areavailable for purchase inside the Helldivers Mobilise (Standard) Warbond and Steeled Veterans Warbond (Premium). Currently,there are seven Boostersavailable in the game, with six in Helldivers Mobilise Warbond and the seventh in Premium Warbond.
Players can buy Boosters by usingin-game currency called Medals. Every item in Warbonds can be bought by trading Medals, and the cost per item increases as you go from lower to higher pages.
To accrue more Medals in Helldivers 2, you will need to complete Main Missions. The highest Medals are obtained by completing Main Missions on Helldive Difficulty, and you’re able to potentially get eight Medals per Main Mission on this difficulty.Check out our guideon this topic.
Once you have obtained enough Medals,go to the Acquisition Center and select the Booster you’re able to currently afford. Every boughtBooster can also be previewed in the Armory under the Booster Tabor section in the game.
How To Use Boosters
In order to use Boosters, you will need topick or select them before jumping onto the planet. This happens when your diver goes into Hellpod and selects a point of jump on the map.
After that, the game prompts you to pick four stratagems. Thehexagonal empty box after the four stratagems is for Booster Selection during the loadout screenin the game.
Ifno squad mates pick any Boosterand press the ready button,the Booster effect does not apply. You need to pre-select a certain Booster before diving from the destroyer shiponto the planet.
Afull squad can select a maximum of four Boostersfor each mission. Once a player has picked a certain Booster, it becomes disabled for another player to pick. This means thatyou can not pick the same Booster two times and stack the effects. TheBooster effect is applied across the entire team, and having four unique Boosters selected by four squad mates gives four unique passive buffs.
For example, if a squad mate picks Hellpod Space Optimization Booster, then the other three party members will see this Booster disabled.
