There are many different weapons you can use in Helldivers 2. In this guide, we have explained the list of weapons and how to unlock them in detail.
Helldivers 2 All Weapons List
Helldivers 2 offers a variety of weapons to enhance your arsenal, but the game might not provide clear instructions on how to unlock them. This guide will walk you through the necessary steps to acquire more weapons.
How to Unlock
As you progress through the game, the starting handgun and assault rifle may no longer suffice against tougher challenges. However, you won’t find new weapons through mission extractions or skill points. Instead, access the Acquisitions menu by pressing DualSense-ButtonSquare on PlayStation or R on PC. From there, choose either the free battle pass (Helldivers Mobilize) or the paid battle pass (Steeled Veterans) and use your hard-earned warbond medals to purchase the weapon of your choice. These medals are earned by completing all sub-objectives during an operation, but the amount obtainable varies with each operation.
How to Equip Weapons
Once you’ve acquired a new weapon, head to the armory on your ship. Then, select the category you wish to change: Primary, Secondary, or Grenades. While you can only carry one of each type, you can obtain additional weapons either from the world or through stratagems.
