Learning how to unlock more weapons and armour sets in Helldivers 2 is a key part of creating a loadout that prepares you for dropping into a planet and taking on hordes of bug aliens and other monsters.
The game has a large list of equipment with a varying amount of gear for all types of playstyles. However, before you can branch out and create your own kit for dealing death, you need to know how to unlock more - so read on to find out all you need.
How to unlock more weapons and armour
Unlocking new weapons or armour sets in Helldivers 2 requires you to spend Medals on your chosen item in the Warbonds menu.
To access the War Bonds menu, follow these steps:
- From your ship, press R on the keyboard or Square on PlayStation to enter the 'Acquisition Centre'
- Select 'Warbonds'
- Pick a Warbond
- In this new menu, choose an item you want to unlock and spend the necessary Medals
As you complete more pages on the Warbonds menu, you can begin to access more weapons and other items like cosmetics. Each new page also requires a specific amount of Medals to have been spent first.
As I said above, Medals are a key part of the process of acquiring new weapons, and to get them you just need to keep playing the game.
Completing Operations, individual missions, and Orders will reward you with plenty of Medals consistently. Higher difficulty levels also reward you more of them.
