Helldivers 2 Guides

Weapons are the main way Helldivers deal with their Enemies. Each Helldiver carries a Primary Weapon, Secondary Weapon and a Grenade. Its also possible to equip a Support weapon through calling it in using Stratagems or finding one on the battlefied. Its also possible to pick up Primary weapons that are on the ground, which are left behind defeated teammates.

Weapons Mechanics

Most of the weapons have additional fire modes that can be selected by holding down R and clicking left mouse button.

When helldiver attacks enemies they will get hitmarkers that will show how effective their attacks are:

• Red Hitmarker - Weapons are enough penetration to ignore armor part and deal 100% Weapon Damage.
• White Hitmarker - Weapons do not have enough penetration to ignore armor part but still deal damage (Dealing 40-50% damage).
• Shield Deflect Hitmarker - Weapons do not penetrate armor and deflect, dealing very low/no damage (needs testing).

There are additional mechanics at play that will adjust helldivers damage:

• Explosive Damage does 100% to the sacks and big unprotected parts of the enemies, when other weapons are dealing about 10% damage on them.
• Fire damage penetrates armor.
