Heading out to the battlefield but not sure about your loadout? Have a read of our Helldivers 2 tier list – it may help you out! Remember that if you prefer a certain type of gun, and it’s been ranked low on the tier list, that’s okay. If a gun works for you, then keep on with it!
Welcome back to Helldivers with Helldivers 2! Take part in intricately detailed missions that rely heavily on strategy… and plenty of explosives. Groups are made up of 4 members as you destroy a multitude of creatures whilst simultaneously keeping each other alive. The sci-fi action doesn’t stop as you aim down your sights in the iconic return of the shooter franchise.
