Boosters in Helldivers 2 are unique enhancements that provide you with special bonuses for the duration of a mission, significantly improving your abilities and resources. Once acquired with your hard-earned Medals, awarded for successful missions, these Boosters can be applied to every mission afterward. A total of six Boosters can be unlocked from the Mobilize Warbond pages and just one from the Steeled Veterans Warbond pages, offering a variety of strategic advantages to tailor your gameplay experience.

Upon embarking on a mission, you can equip a Booster on the stratagem load-out screen, where each player can select one Booster. Four unique Boosters can be active simultaneously within an entire squad, one per person. Fortunately, the effects of a Booster extend to all Helldivers in the squad, not just the individual who equipped it. This requires careful consideration and discussion when matchmaking with friends to decide which Boosters will most effectively your team, showcasing the importance of strategic planning and teamwork.

7 Flexible Reinforcement

According to RAGING REAPER1 on YouTube, one of the more niche Boosters in Helldivers 2, the Flexible Reinforcement Booster reduces the cool-down time for new reinforcements once they've been exhausted. The Booster shaves off a mere 12 seconds of recovery time needed to gain a single reinforcement. This equates to a 10% faster replenishment rate after you've depleted your reinforcement budget.

The Flexible Reinforment Booster does not increase the total number of reinforcements available for recharge.

Regarded as the least practical, this Booster saves far too little time to be worth any utility. To acquire it, players must spend at least 275 Medals to own it, a steep price for such marginal benefits. Players are better off reserving their Medals in Helldivers 2 for a more active and less ive enhancement, optimizing their use of resources for greater advantages on the battlefield.

6 Increased Reinforcement Budget

The most expensive Booster available, this enhancement increases the total number of reinforcements available to each player in a team by one, elevating an entire team's reinforcement capacity from 20 to 24. Yet, it doesn't expand the tally of rechargeable reinforcements, permitting just a single replenishment after a two-minute charge time. Given its high cost of a minimum of 1350 Medals, this Booster ranks lower in priority due to its limited return on investment.

It would be extraordinary for a team to need four extra reinforcements. Instead, your medals could be more strategically spent on other, cost-effective Boosters. Other options are far more likely to your team's survival, as the standard allotment of 20 reinforcements is more than enough.

5 UAV Recon

As recommended by hardest enemies in Helldivers 2 rather than confront them, allowing players to avoid particularly hostile areas. This Booster requires a minimum expenditure of 300 Medals, positioning it as a valuable tool for teams to prioritize foresight and tactical play-style.

4 Vitality Enhancement

The Vitality Enhancement Booster offers players increased damage resistance, a significant advantage in Helldivers 2. When players sustain injuries, red alerts depicting specifically injured body parts appear. An injured arm impairs weapon handling, while leg injuries inhibit sprinting, drastically reducing mobility.

The most severe, a torso injury, entirely depletes your stamina and eventually leads to bleeding out. Although Stims clear you of these effects, they should be reserved for managing general damage rather than curing severe injuries. This Booster is a protective measure, especially for accidental friendly fire, giving players more time and safeguarding them from critical wounds.

Regarding fall damage, players would incur leg injuries from just two falls from ledges without the Booster. When activated, it takes three falls to suffer the same fate. A single shot from the P-19 Redeemer causes injury without the Booster in combat. Otherwise, players can withstand two shots before being injured.

This makes the Vitality Enhancement a survival tool and a strategic asset, allowing players to conserve their health in more critical moments, saving their team's Stims for when it matters. For a total price of 95 Medals, it provides a substantial advantage against the challenges faced on the battlefield.

3 Hellpod Space Optimization

Upon exiting the Hellpod at the start of your mission, the Hellpod Space Optimization Booster equips teams with fully stocked ammunition, Stims, and grenades in Helldivers 2. Secondary weapons, except for the P-19 Redeemer, which always has maximum ammo available, suffer from reduced ammo without this Booster. This enhancement is crucial for maintaining firepower without needing to search for ammo or call down resupplies, allowing your team to focus on mission objectives.

The supply boost does not extend to your weapon, which must be summoned separately, and does not benefit from the full ammo replenishment.

Without this Boost, the P-2 peacemaker and P-4 senator would have only 80% of their maximum ammo capacity. Additionally, your grenade count is reduced by one, and your Stims are reduced by two. Primary weapons also see a notable impact: both the SG-225 Breaker and SMG-37 Defender suffer a magazine reduction by 2, while the SG-8S Slugger starts with just 24/40 rounds available.

For 50 total Medals, investing in this Booster significantly enhances your survival prospects, ensuring you are better armed and supplied from the moment you start your mission, making it a useful asset in Helldivers 2.

2 Muscle Enhancement

This Booster, one of the best upgrades in Helldivers 2, stands out as a game-changer, allowing players to traverse difficult terrain without compromising their mobility. This buff significantly speeds up missions and simplifies evasion tactics. It enhances the overall gameplay experience by eliminating frustration typically felt by players associated with traversing through snow, sand, and mud, especially during adverse weather conditions.

Priced at a minimum of 920 Medals, it is a steep investment. However, reducing environmental obstacles makes it a valuable asset for any team seeking to optimize their efficiency and enjoyment in the game.

1 Stamina Enhancement

Pg. 7 Helldivers Mobalize Warbond, 75 Medals

The Stamina Enhancement Booster is ranked as the top pick in Helldivers 2, as it boosts both the capacity and recovery rate of players' stamina. Normally, stamina depletes in about 30 seconds of continuous sprinting, but with the Booster active, it extends to 38 seconds, offering a 30% increase in sprint time. As for stamina recovery, the process accelerates from just under 9 seconds to less than 7 seconds when the Booster is used, marking approximately a 23% improvement in recovery speed.

This enhancement stands out for its unparalleled utility, granting players increased agility and the ability to sprint more frequently during missions. This Booster contributes to faster mission completion and greater convenience and allows players to swiftly evade their least favorite Helldivers 2 enemies. While not the most expensive out of the Boosters, it is among the more expensive options, demanding a minimum expenditure of 495 Medals. Despite the high cost, its substantial benefits make it a worthwhile investment, significantly enhancing player performance and efficiency.
