To defeat the alien threat and intelligent machines, soldiers alone will not be enough. Sometimes you will need serious weapons in Helldivers 2, and here a huge destroyer ship with its arsenal and useful gadgets will come to the rescue.
Depending on your playstyle, different ship stratagems can be useful on the battlefield in different ways. Knowing the best upgrades can save your life and make it easier to fight Terminids and Automatons. Let’s figure out which ship modules are best to unlock first in Helldivers 2 for single and group play.
Best Starter Ship Modules in Helldivers 2
Helldivers 2 has a variety of modules available that improve different aspects of gameplay, but there are a few key ones that are worth taking on right away.
Donation Access License
For 60 samples, this upgrade immediately makes support weapons more useful by adding more magazines to each call. So players are immediately better equipped when calling in the Laser Cannon, Grenade Launcher, Machine Gun, Railgun, Assault Rifle, Sniper Rifle, and Flamethrower.
Guidance system upgrade
By using Orbital Stratagems wisely, you can control the battlefield more effectively. The reduction in deployment time for 60 samples pays off handsomely, especially when paired with other players.
Dynamic tracking
Need immediate help? Consider dynamic tracking for 60 samples and 20 rare samples – this reduces the deployment time of all stratagems with auto-turrets. Now you can count on steady fire, which will come much faster.
Synthetic supplement
A precious upgrade for auto-turrets. 60 samples and 10 rares will reduce the reload time of turret and refueling stratagems by 10%. This makes it easier to have cover from battle to battle for greater survivability.
Improved construction
Planetary surfaces are always dangerous, so it makes sense to strengthen your turrets. This upgrade gives them 50% health for your precious samples, which will save you in a tough situation.
Naturally, as we develop, other modules will come in handy. But for now, these will be enough to slowly build up our arsenal and get used to bringing democracy to distant planets.
