All Ship Modules in Helldivers 2 & what they do
Here's a comprehensive list of all the Ship Modules in Helldivers 2, including how to unlock and equip them, as well as how they work in the game.
There are all sorts of ways to upgrade your overall potential in Helldivers 2, one of which is to unlock Ship Modules for your Destroyer. These give your Stratagems various buffs, so learn all about them below.
How to equip & use Ship Modules
To equip and use Ship Modules, access Ship Management on your Destroyer to customise it and purchase both Stratagems and Ship Modules.
Ship Modules are permanent, passive upgrades to your Destroyer, so once you unlock a Ship Module, it'll go into effect automatically! They're personal, though, so they won't benefit your squad like Boosters.
