Ship Modules in Helldivers 2 are special modifications you can unlock to enhance your best Stratagems for missions. These ive changes can alter anything from Stratagem cooldowns to an explosion's radius, making them a diverse change to your equipment. With many available on your Destroyer, it may be difficult to choose which ones to have activated before your deployment to various worlds.

Six sections of your ship have Modules available, including the Patriotic istration Center, Orbital Cannons, Hangar, Bridge, Engineering Bay, and Robotics Workshop. Similar to the best Stratagems in Helldivers 2, the Modules in these categories only affect specific equipment tied to each section. For example, a turret Sentry Stratagem comes from the Robotics Workshop, so any Module from that area would most likely impact that gear alone.

Only three Modules exist for every section of your Destroyer. While the first one from each category will already be available for purchase, you need to buy the previous modification to have access to the next Module.

10 Power Steering (Bridge)

Prerequisite: Buy Nuclear Radar Module

The Power Steering Module doesn't improve any Stratagems, but it directly impacts how you respawn on the battlefield. Whenever you die during a mission, you eventually return in a Hellpod that acts as a high-speed projectile hurtling toward a world's surface. This modification gives you better control of this vessel's descent, which significantly damages any enemy it hits while landing in Helldivers 2.

9 Dynamic Tracking (Robotics Workshop)

Prerequisite: 60 Common Samples, 20 Rare Samples

Sentries can be tough Stratagems to use during missions since they take a long time to deploy before activating. The Dynamic Tracking Module helps reduce the time it takes for a turret to mobilize, giving you and your squad an automated defense system to help against waves of enemies. This is one of the best upgrades in Helldivers 2 for defensive missions that focus on protecting certain areas.

8 Zero-G Breech Loading (Orbital Cannons)

Prerequisite: Buy More Guns Module

Some of the Stratagems with the least cooldown in Helldivers 2 come from the Orbital Cannons section of your ship. The Zero-G Breech Loading Module decreases the time it takes to activate an Orbital ability even further, allowing you to use air strikes in rapid succession. While not all the Orbital Stratagems are versatile for every mission type, some, like the Orbital Laser or Precision Strike, are always effective.

According to a video by YouTube creator Legacy Gaming, Orbital Stratagems are great for beginner builds in Helldivers 2. The simplicity of these abilities makes them great tools for early low-level missions, so this Module upgrade will help you learn even more. Even though you have to unlock other Orbital upgrades for Zero-G Breech Loading, it will be worth having even when tackling objectives on high difficulties.

7 Donation Access License (Patriotic istration Center)

Prerequisite: 60 Common Samples

You unlock new weapons in Helldivers 2 through Stratagems provided by the Patriotic istration Center of your Destroyer. The Donation License Module for this section of the ship lets you use these guns longer. These firearms are incredibly powerful but typically have long cooldowns once they run out of ammo, so this upgrade gives you more opportunities to destroy enemies with these weapons.

6 Hand Carts (Patriotic istration Center)

Prerequisite: Buy Streamlined Request Process Module

Backpack Stratagems are enhanced through the Hand Carts Module, allowing you to use more equipment on the battlefield. Many backpack abilities provide life-saving protection, from personal shields to extra ammo or even a jetpack to move around. Decreasing the cooldown on these abilities will give you more chances to survive in battles for democracy against Terminid or Automaton hordes.

5 Pit Crew Hazard Pay (Hangar)

Prerequisite: Buy Liquid-Ventilated Cockpit Module

The Ship Modules from the Hangar are among the strongest upgrades in Helldivers 2, providing buffs to powerful Eagle Stratagems that decimate enemies. According to a video made by YouTube creator RAGING REAPER1, Eagle modifications like Pit Crew Hazard Pay are perhaps the most influential toward success on your missions.

Abilities like Eagle Cluster Bomb or Eagle Napalm Airstrike usually have unlimited uses and can be rearmed much faster with this upgrade. You can activate Eagle Stratagems consecutively with this Module, scorching worlds with sweet liberty during a mission. Be careful not to accidentally kill your teammates with these rapidly recovered Eagle skills and break one of the unspoken rules of co-op multiplayer.

4 Advanced Construction (Engineering Bay)

Prerequisite: Buy Synthetic Supplementation Module

High-level enemies can quickly destroy any Sentry you place on the battlefield unless you buy the Advanced Construction Module to increase nearly any turret's health. Having a Sentry with extra health can be extremely helpful against mini-bosses like Bile Titans or Automaton Tanks in Helldivers 2. Any turret you place will have more chances to distract larger targets, while you or your team target its weak points.

3 Liquid-Ventilated Cockpit (Hangar)

Prerequisite: 80 Common Samples

Similarly to Pit Crew Hazard Pay, the Liquid-Ventilated Cockpit Module gives you more chances to use Eagle Stratagems once again in Helldivers 2. However, the 50% reduction in cooldown time is by far the largest decrease in an ability's use in the game, making it a drastic upgrade when compared to other modifications. For only a cheap price of 80 Common Samples, this enhancement is a must-have for any build.

2 Rapid Launch System (Engineering Bay)

Prerequisite: Buy Advanced Construction Module

The Rapid Launch System Module provides instantaneous during missions by removing any build-up or activation time to specific Stratagem abilities. This lets you deploy important tools like the Shield Generator Relay instantly, protecting your team at a moment's notice in Helldivers 2. Being able to rapidly adapt to different situations on the battlefield could mean life or death for your squad.

Many of the Stratagems affected by the Rapid Launch System Module could injure your teammates with mines, so be careful when you deploy them since they will activate immediately.

1 Expanded Weapons Bay (Hangar)

Prerequisite: Buy Pit Crew Hazard Pay Module

Every Hangar Module is worth getting, including the Expanded Weapons Bay upgrade received at the end of this section of your Destroyer. Simply having another use of an Eagle Stratagem like the 500kg Bomb is a monumental change that shifts how many resources you have on the battlefield. Another chance to destroy those standing in the way of Super Earth makes a huge difference during missions of Helldivers 2.

As seen in a video by YouTube creator PhaseShifter, explosive ordinances are not the only ones that benefit from this upgrade. Stratagems like the Eagle Smoke Strike have surprising utility when used correctly, so getting this ability more often may help you find the situations they work best in. The best Ship Modules to unlock in Helldivers 2 may help you understand more traits behind rarely used Stratagems.
