Learn about all the Boosters in Helldivers 2, how to unlock them, and which ones you should invest in first.
Boosters in Helldivers 2 are equipped before a mission and provide buffs to all four players. Activating four good boosters with your team can be game-changing, and this is one of the main reasons why solo play is considerably tougher than multiplayer. Boosters like Hellpod Space Optimization and Vitality Enhancement are unlocked soon after the game begins, but getting more boosters requires a considerable investment of Super Credits and Medals.
How To Get Boosters in Helldivers 2
All Boosters in Helldivers 2 are unlocked through Warbonds. The Helldivers Mobilize Warbond is available to all players for free and contains six boosters to get you started. Most premium Warbonds contain one booster. However, you’ll have to spend 1,000 Super Credits to unlock a new premium Warbond.
Once you’ve unlocked a Warbond, you’ll have to use Medals to obtain the booster within it. If the booster isn’t on the first page, spend Medals on it to unlock the following page.

Helldivers 2: Which Boosters To Get First
All the most essential boosters are available in the Helldivers Mobilize Warbond, which does not require Super Credits to unlock. Vitality Enhancement is the most important booster that every team should have, followed by Stamina Enhancement.
Experimental Infusion is incredibly useful to escape a tough situation, as it increases speed and reduces incoming damage. It is particularly effective against the Terminids, as they can overwhelm you in close range if you can’t escape quickly.
If you are finding it hard to beat the game on higher difficulties, use Localization Confusion to increase the time between enemy reinforcements, such as bug breaches and bot drops. It will give you more breathing room to complete objectives and gather resources.
Muscle Enhancement helps traverse difficult terrain faster. Use it on ice planets or missions with mountainous terrain to dramatically improve your team’s speed. In general, try to avoid boosters that will only come in handy if you are already losing and dying, such as Flexible Reinforcement, Stun Pods, and Firebomb Hellpods.
