Helldivers 2 Armor Guide: Maximize Mobility and Passives by Choosing the Right Suit
-
The armor you choose in Helldivers 2 provides stats like speed and stamina as well as useful passive perks like extra grenades or damage resistance.
-
Light armor offers the best mobility, medium armor provides more passive options, and heavy armor currently seems underpowered.
-
Suggested armors include the SC-34 Infiltrator, DP-40 Hero of the Federation, CM-09 Bonesnapper, and SA-25 Steel Trooper.
-
Armor ratings may be bugged, but the Extra Padding passive seems to reduce damage from heavy attacks.
-
You can change armor on your ship but not mid-mission - consider the Shield Generator stratagem for extra defense.
