While battling Terminids and Automatons in Helldivers 2, you will often get overpowered by them. But if you have your go-to weapon and an ideal Armor equipped, then you can always outmaneuver any amount of enemies. Speaking of Armor, many players ignore this defensive aid in combat and then die easily. Those who balance both offensive and defensive aspects can easily outmatch opponents. Since we know picking up the Best Armor from the stock is a difficult task, we can help you with that.
In this guide, we have listed down 5 of the Best Armor in Helldivers 2 that can help you withstand Brutes, Hulks, and Tanks. With that being said, let’s take a look at our picks.
These are the Best Armor in Helldivers 2
- B-24 Enforcer
- CE-35 Trench Engineer
- CM-09 Bonesnapper
- SC-34 Infiltrator
- SC-30 Trailblazer Scout
B-24 Enforcer
This Medium Armor is an ideal choice for early-game battles but there is a catch. The B-24 Enforcer Armor can only be bought from the Super Store for 150 Credits. So your chances of getting this is random as the stock in the Store refreshes frequently. Anyways, those who are wearing the B-24 Enforcer in Helldivers 2 will get the Fortified Armor Passive. Because of this bonus, players can easily operate automatic weapons. This is because the Fortified passive reduces Recoil by 30% when you crouch or get prone.
Not only you will get to handle guns with ease but also your damage resistance will be increased greatly. Moreover, the B-24 Enforcer makes sure that your running speed on the battlefield does not get tampered with. Meaning, that even while equipping this armor, you can easily move around from point A to point B on a map. So for the early game period, I think this one is the best Armor in Helldivers 2.
CE-35 Trench Engineer
For those who prefer combat from a long or mid-range, you will like the CE-35 Trench Engineer Armor. This Armor provides the Engineering Kit Armor Passive which has multiple benefits. First, it reduces your Recoil by 30% when crouching or prone. This is similar to the Fortified passive. In addition, you also get +2 Grenade carrying capacity.
So if you want to promote a more stealthy approach in your gameplay, then the CE-35 Trench Engineer is the best Armor for you in Helldivers 2. Wear it, throw Grenades to destroy multiple enemies at once, and use automatic weapons to clear out hordes of creatures. Having the CE-35 Trench Engineer equipped is beneficial if are completing tasks like destroying Nests, Fabricators, etc.
CM-09 Bonesnapper
The CM-09 Bonesnapper is for those who want to support their teammates in all situations. This armor provides you with decent protection against all kinds of enemies. Aside from that, you will get a Med-kit Armor Passive which allows you to carry +2 Stims in your inventory. Hold up! These Stims will also long for +2 seconds, which does matter if you are in the heat of the battle.
I suggest at least one player from your squad to pick up this Armor in missions that include eliminating a set amount of enemies. Such missions put you in a never-ending wave of enemies which also means you will be losing health more often. So the one with the CM-09 Bonesnapper can easily play their part in the said mission type.
SC-34 Infiltrator
I will be honest, the SC-34 Infiltrator Armor does not offer you much resistance against damage. But hear me out. This armor elevates your gameplay on its Speed, Stamina Regen, and Armor Passive factor. The SC-34 Infiltrator is light armor so run around easily with more Stamina Regen. Also, with its Scout Armor Passive, you can easily track down POIs on the map.
One more thing, the Scout Armor Passive makes it difficult for the enemies to spot you. As a result, there will be fewer enemy drop ships appearing on the map. According to me, for Solo players, SC-34 Infiltrator is the Best Armor in Helldivers 2.
SC-30 Trailblazer Scout
The SC-30 Trailblazer Scout is another Armor with the Scout passive bonus. The reason I have put a similar armor on the list is because it’s far lighter than the SC-34 Infiltrator. Which means that there are no restrictions on the mobility. So you can always move quicker and avoid taking too much damage. Even if you get hit once or twice, it won’t affect you much as you have the armor to absorb some damage.
