Helldivers 2: All weapons and how to unlock them

 

The co-op shooter Helldivers 2 offers you a number of weapons with which you can defend the surface. Find out how to unlock all weapons in Helldivers 2 here.

Your equipment in Helldivers 2 consists of a primary weapon, a secondary weapon and a grenade. When you start the game, this is your set-up:

1. AR-23 Liberator Assault Rifle
2. P2-Peacemaker Pistol
3. G-12 High Explosive Granate

Of course, this will get you far and you will need new weapons to defend yourself against the many enemies.

How to unlock weapons in Helldivers 2

You unlock weapons in the so-called Warbonds. There is a free and a premium version. To unlock the different weapons, you have to spend a certain number of medals in different tiers.

You unlock new tiers when you spend enough medals in the previous tier. There is no time pressure as the war bonds have no expiration date. The free war bonds currently offer you 11 unlockable weapons and 3 grenades and the premium war bonds offer you an additional 4 unlockable weapons and 1 grenade.

You can also unlock the Premium Warbond with Super Credits, which you also get in the free Warbond.

In the following section we list all the weapons and the required medals.
