Helldivers 2 is a very entertaining game, but it can be very challenging sometimes. It's important to know what the best builds are in Helldivers 2 so you can tackle the challenge head-on and survive.
Helldivers 2 Best Builds
Helldivers 2 sets your squad against the hordes of gigantic enemies. Although you can adjust your game's difficulty, the majority of the missions require a specific set of builds and loadouts in the higher difficulties. Here are some of the best builds in this game, depending on your playstyle.
Best Beginner Build in Helldivers 2
| Beginner Build | Loadout |
|---|---|
| Primary Weapon | AR-23 Liberator |
| Secondary Weapon | P-2 Peacemaker |
| Armor | B-01 Tactical |
| Explosives | G-12 High Explosive |
| Stratagem | Eagle Airstrike, GR-8 Recoilless Rifle, Mortar Sentry, Orbital Precision Strike |
This build is good before you reach level 10. All weapons and equipment in this build are default, without any special properties. Concerning the stratagems, the Recoilless Rifle is useful against mechanical enemies, while other stratagems are orbital strikes and sentries.
Best Anti-Tank Build in Helldivers 2
| Anti-Tank Build | Loadout |
|---|---|
| Primary Weapon | JAR-5 Dominator |
| Secondary Weapon | P-19 Redeemer |
| Armor | FS-23 Battle Master |
| Explosives | G-16 Impact |
| Stratagem | Eagle 500KG Bomb, Eagle Airstrike, RS-422 Railgun, “Guard Dog” Rover |
The best way to defeat heavy-armored enemies is to focus your build on heavy armor penetration and damage. The Marksman heavy armor and Diligence sniper work really well together because the armor provides 30% less recoil and 50% protection from explosions. The best stratagem for this build is Railgun because it provides better penetration of heavily armored enemies.
Best Anti-Automaton Build in Helldivers 2
| Anti-Automaton Build | Loadout |
|---|---|
| Primary Weapon | JAR-5 Dominator |
| Secondary Weapon | P-19 Redeemer |
| Armor | FS-23 Battle Master |
| Explosives | G-16 Impact |
| Stratagem | Eagle 500KG Bomb, Eagle Airstrike, Mortar Sentry, RS-422 Railgun |
Automatons are very tanky units with high armor, so I used an almost identical build to the Anti-Tank one. The only difference is that I replaced “Guard Dog” Rover with Mortar Sentry because it's way more useful against Automatons.
Best Overall Build in Helldivers 2
| Overall Build | Loadout |
|---|---|
| Primary Weapon | SG-225 Breaker |
| Secondary Weapon | P-19 Redeemer |
| Armor | SC-34 Infiltrator |
| Explosives | G-16 Impact |
| Stratagem | Autocannon Sentry, Eagle 500KG Bomb, Eagle Airstrike, Mortar Sentry |
As soon as you reach level 15, you unlock better weapons and armor in the game. The Infiltrator armor reduces your detection by 30%, which allows you to sneak up and attack your enemies from their weak spots. The Breaker shotgun is the best weapon in the game for dealing massive damage against all kinds of enemies. The Redeemer pistol is a great choice for the secondary weapon. Stratagems are focused on unleashing destructive powers with autocannon, mortar sentries, orbital bombs, and airstrikes.
