Helldivers 2 Armor Passives: A Comprehensive Guide and Tier List

Helldivers 2 categorizes armor into light, medium, and heavy, impacting mobility and defense. However, the real power lies in armor passives – potent perks significantly altering gameplay. This guide details all passives and provides a tier list to optimize your loadouts.

Armor Passive Tier List (Version 1.002.003)

This tier list assesses passives based on overall value, utility, and effectiveness across various missions and enemy types.

Tier Armor Passive Rationale
S Engineering Kit Extra grenades are invaluable for diverse tasks: sealing breaches, destroying structures, and dealing significant damage.
Med-Kit Significantly boosts survivability, especially when combined with the Experimental Infusion booster.
Siege-Ready Substantially improves ammo management and reload times, crucial for sustained combat, especially with high-consumption weapons.
A Democracy Protects Provides strong early-game defense against lethal attacks.
Extra Padding Offers consistent damage resistance.
Fortified Excellent against Automatons, mitigating explosive damage and enhancing weapon effectiveness.
Servo-Assisted Highly effective against Terminids, improving stratagem deployment and mitigating injury.
B Peak Physique Situational; melee combat is generally avoided. The weapon handling improvement is useful but not game-changing.
Inflammable Best for fire-based builds and specific environments (e.g., fire tornadoes).
Scout Useful for revealing enemy positions, but lacks broader utility (e.g., highlighting objectives).
C Acclimated Limited value; rarely will you face all four elemental damage types simultaneously.
Advanced Filtration Only beneficial for gas-focused builds, and the overall impact is modest.
Electrical Conduit Primarily useful against the Illuminate, but other options often prove superior.
Unflinching Minimal impact on combat effectiveness.

This guide helps you select the best armor passives for diverse mission scenarios in Helldivers 2, enhancing your survival and combat prowess. Remember to adapt your loadout based on the specific challenges each mission presents.
