Boosters in Helldivers 2 are passive buffs that will be helpful for you and your teammates during a mission, and so need to be picked well. You can get benefits like better ammo/stims when you deploy, increased damage resistance, more stamina, better radar range, and more. Here are the best boosters to have in your build.
| Rank | Booster | Why It’s One of the Best | Situations Where It Shines |
| S-Tier | Vitality Enhancement | Gives a solid damage reduction from all sources and increases resistance to limb injuries. Improves survivability significantly. | Good in nearly every mission; especially useful on higher difficulties, against damage-heavy enemies, or when friendly fire or environmental hazards are common. |
| S-Tier | Stamina Enhancement | Boosts stamina capacity and recovery. Lets you sprint more, evade, and stay more active. | Very helpful for large or open maps, when traversing rough terrain, or when you need mobility (e.g. escaping swarms, moving between POIs). |
| A-Tier | Hellpod Space Optimization | You drop in with full ammo, grenades, and stims. So, you don’t need to go on an early hunt for resources or rely on resupply stratagems. | Particularly strong for early mission phases, solo play, or when support resupply is delayed. |
| A-Tier | Muscle Enhancement | Reduces movement penalties over challenging terrain (mud, snow, water, hills), which often slows you down in environmental hazards or when being chased. | Very useful on ice or snow planets, or any mission with areas that cause you to slow down. |
| B-Tier | UAV Recon Booster | Expands your radar range so you spot enemies, POIs, or objectives earlier. Useful for planning, avoiding ambushes, and farming. | If you like stealth, or are doing “find & complete” objectives, this is great. Less useful if combat is chaotic. |
| B-Tier | Increased Reinforcement Budget | Gives more reinforcements, so you get more backup when things go wrong. | Useful in especially tough operations, or when your squad is likely to take lots of casualties. |
| Situational / Premium | Experimental Infusion | Boosts stims to also provide speed and damage resistance (temporarily). This is strong when paired with good timing and use of stims. | Best in missions with high burst damage, or where grouping and timing matter. Also works well in emergency situations. |
| Situational | Flexible Reinforcement Budget | Reduces waiting time for reinforcements once your reinforcements are exhausted. Helps reduce downtime. | Best when reinforcement depletion is frequent (e.g., tough enemy waves). Worth considering once more basic boosters are covered. |
These were some of the best boosters to use in Helldivers 2. Based on your situation, level of teammates and requirements, you can choose the best option for your squad.
