Helldivers 2 is all about shooting and defeating enemies, which makes your weapons and stratagems all the more important. This guide will help you efficiently select weapons and stratagems, along with your ship module, to ensure you obliterate the aliens.

How to upgrade efficiently in Helldivers 2

Before upgrading, players should know what is used to purchase the weapons, stratagems, and ship module upgrades. For both the support weapons and stratagems, players would use the Requisition slips. Meanwhile, ship module upgrades require Green Samples.

To unlock support weapons and stratagems, players should go to the ship management to access the menu.

Under the “Stratagems” in the ship management menu, they can see the support weapons under “Patriotic Administration Center.” Other stratagem trees are Orbital Cannons, Hangar, Bridge, Engineering Bay, and Robotics Workshop. Ship module upgrades also have the same categories as the stratagems.

To effectively and efficiently upgrade your weapons and stratagems, you should look into the corresponding ship module.

For example, you’d want to focus on upgrading your support weapons. You may choose to buy an Anti-Material Rifle or other support weapons, then head to the Ship Module menu.

You may then unlock the “Donation Access License” with 60 Science Samples, which would increase the number of magazines that are included with the support weapons. Continue to unlock another “Patriotic Administration Center” upgrade, which is the “Streamlined Request Process,” which brings support weapons a 10% decreased cooldown on your Stratagems.
