Helldivers 2 Best Weapons Guide

Overall, the best weapons of Helldivers 2 includes:

• Best Primary Weapons: SMG-37 Defender, AR-23 Liberator, SG-225 Breaker
• Best Secondary Weapons: P-19 Redeemer, P-4 Senator (Steeled Veterans)
• Best Support Weapons: M-105 Stalwart, Railgun

In terms of primary weapons, we recommend either the Defender, Liberator or Breaker (base versions). All three weapons work extremely well against Terminids, who typically come in swarms. However, when facing Automatons, stick with either automatic weapon, which you can change the rate of fire. Automatons don’t typically swarm you in large numbers like the Terminids, though you’ll still face plenty of resistance.

Firstly, the Liberator, which is the first weapon you unlock, works almost too well. Some players use it and never switch to another gun because of how reliable it is. Overall, the Liberator is indeed a good gun, but perhaps a bit weak. However, it makes up for it with a solid capacity, fire rate, and light recoil.

Therefore, if you want a good automatic primary weapon, try using the SMG-37 Defender. This gun deals more damage than the Liberator, though it comes with a slower rate of fire. However, a slower rate of fire makes it easier to save ammunition, and the damage compensates for the slower firing speed. Furthermore, like the Liberator, it deals Light Armor penetrating Damage. However, you can fire the SMG-37 Defender with just one hand, making life convenient in several areas.

For secondary weapons, we love the P-19 Redeemer, even if the ammo per clip is fairly low. This bad boy deals a ton of damage, and is perfect for finishing off an enemy who’s still standing. Personally, I like switching to the Redeemer when in a pinch, because the damage is usually just enough to take away an enemy’s remaining health. However, the only caveat is a low clip capacity. With a fast rate of fire, you might only kill two or three enemies before reloading.

If you want something a bit more single-fire, try using the P-4 Senator. However, this weapon is only available to those with access to the Steeled Veterans Warbonds Pass. We tried not to recommend too many weapons from this list, since not everyone has access to it. But the P-4 Senator comes with one special bonus. When you reload a Senator, you don’t lose the remaining ammo in the magazine, since bullets can be reloaded individually.
