Each of which can be useful in different ways for you and your squad. If you want to expand your Booster selection, you’ll want to know how to get each one. Whether it’s to start each mission with more ammo or have each stim provide temporary stat bonuses. EachBooster inHelldivers 2 can be useful when you want to equip it. We detail each booster in the game and how to unlock it.
All Boosters in Helldivers 2
Overall, there are over 20 Boosters that players can earn and use in Helldivers 2. Even the latest ones that come with the latest Ironclad Democracy Warbond are included. All of them are part of Warbonds that you need to progress through by using the Medals. If there is a certain one you are looking for, you can find out how to get it below.
Helldivers Mobilize! Boosters
There are six Boosters available to unlock through Helldivers Mobilize! Warbond. It’s also the biggest one that the game has to offer to this day. If you are looking for some incredibly useful Boosters for your team, check out all the ones available in it.

Steeled Veterans Booster
When it comes to Steeled Veterans, like other future Warbonds, there is only one Booster available. That being said, it’s a useful one to have if you are playing on harder difficulties.
| Booster | Booster Effect | How to Unlock |
| Flexible Reinforcement Budget | Reduce time until new reinforcements are granted once they’ve been depleted. | Available on Page 3 of the Warbond for 75 Medals. |
Cutting Edge Booster
The Cutting Edge Booster, Localization Confusion, is great for helping to stem being overwhelmed. Each faction has ways of starting a big attack (like Bug Breaches for Terminids). Therefore, it can help to give you more breathing room if need be.
| Booster | Booster Effect | How to Unlock |
| Localization Confusion | Increases the time between enemy encounters. | Players can purchase it right away from Page 1 for 18 Medals. |
Democratic Detonation Booster
If you are looking to get out of a mission faster, this Warbond’s booster does the trick. It lowers the extraction time so you can worry less about being overrun at the extraction point.
| Booster | Booster Effect | How to Unlock |
| Expert Extraction Pilot | Lowers the time it takes for the extraction shuttle to reach the extraction beacon. | Unlocked for 55 Medals from Page 2 of the Warbond. |
Polar Patriots Booster
Polar Patriots came with a neutralizing Booster in the form of Motivational Shocks. Something that allows you to recover from slow effects you experience from foes.
| Booster | Booster Effect | How to Unlock |
| Motivational Shocks | Allows all Helldivers to recover faster after being slowed by an attack, such as acid. Does not mitigate “area effects,” such as EMS strikes. | Available from Page 1 for 15 Medals. |
Viper Commandos Booster
If you are looking for a fantastic Booster, Viper Commandos offers one! The Experimental Infusion is key to making your Helldivers better, even for a short time. There needs to be almost always one player on the team who has this one available to equip.
| Booster | Booster Effect | How to Unlock |
| Experimental Infusion | In addition to restoring health, Stims temporarily increase movement speed and damage reduction. | Can be purchased on Page 3 for 80 Medals. |
Freedom’s Flame Booster
If you like to fight the Terminids and get into the thick of things, Freedom’s Flame has a decent Booster. Landing your Hellpod lights up the area in flames. However, this also includes your teammates, so be careful where you choose to land.
| Booster | Booster Effect | How to Unlock |
| Firebomb Hellpods | Lines all Hellpods with volatile incendiaries that detonate upon impact, igniting any units in the vicinity of the drop site. | Can be purchased by getting to Page 3 of the Warbond. Then buy for 60 Medals. |
Truth Enforcers Booster
Dead Sprint is a trade-off Booster. Players can continue to run, allowing them to get away from enemies by continuing to sprint. However, because it eats at your health, you need to be careful so you don’t get killed by it.
| Booster | Booster Effect | How to Unlock |
| Dead Sprint | Allows Helldivers to keep sprinting even when they are out of stamina, draining their health instead. | Purchase the Truth Enforcers Warbond with Super Credits. Then, buy the Booster for 35 Medals on Page 1. |
Urban Legends Booster
The Armed Resupply Pods Booster is great for survival missions like the Terminid Eradication ones. Because you have to defend an area, the resupply pods having turrets is one extra gun fighting the enemies.
| Booster | Booster Effect | How to Unlock |
| Armed Resupply Pods | Mounts a modified AR-23 Liberator to all resupply pods, allowing them to double as automatic turrets. | Available for 55 Medals on Page 2 of the Warbond. |
Borderline Justice Booster
A great Booster for players who need Samples to help upgrade the Super Destroyer. Which, in turn, allows for better buffs for different Stratagems.
| Booster | Booster Effect | How to Unlock |
| Sample Extricator | Large enemies now have a small chance of dropping Samples on death. Capped at 10 drops per mission. | Available for 65 Medals on Page 3 of the Borderline Justice Warbond. |
Masters of Ceremony Booster
Just like the above Booster, Sample Scanner is good if you need to upgrade the Super Destroyer. With this, it may seem like there is only a small chance to get more. Because there are so many sample drops in each map, there is a decent chance to be able to get more samples than usual.
| Booster | Booster Effect | How to Unlock |
| Sample Scanner | Gives Helldivers a 15% chance to retrieve twice the samples on sample pickup. | Available to purchase from Page 3 of the Warbond for 65 Medals. |
Force of Law Booster
Another decent option if you drop into the thick of a fight. The Hellpods stun any targets in the area, allowing you to make a run to safety if need be. Or to get the advantage and start blasting away at your foes.
| Booster | Booster Effect | How to Unlock |
| Stun Pods | Exposes Hellpod wiring upon surface contact, stunning any units in the vicinity of the drop site. | Players can unlock the Booster on Page 2 of the Warbond for 55 Medals. |
Redacted Regiment Booster
If a stealth-focused playthrough is your ideal way to play, Redacted Regiment is all for you. And this includes its Booster, which sets up smoke when you land in your Hellpod. That way, you can get to sneaking through the map without any trouble.
| Booster | Booster Effect | How to Unlock |
| Concealed Insertion | Equips Hellpods to deploy smoke screens on impact, obscuring Helldiver deployment. | Purchasable from the last page of the Warbond for 40 Medals. |
Ironclad Democracy Boosters
When it comes to the Ironclad Democracy Boosters, they offer an extra Support Weapon or fire resistance buff. More specifically, how fast flames extinguish from players. Each one brings a much different type of buff for players to utilize and can even help even the odds.
| Booster | Booster Effect | How to Unlock |
| Surplus EAT Allocation | Grants two free uses of the Expendable Anti-Tank (EAT) Stratagem per mission; enough to grant a full squad one single-use rocket launcher each, provided squad members employ the proper equipment distribution protocol. | Can be purchased for 55 Medals from Page 2 of the Ironclad Democracy Warbond. |
| Integrated Extinguishers | Equips Helldivers uniforms with form-fitting, automated, rapid-response fire suppression systems. Significantly reduces the time it takes to naturally extinguish flames without conducting ground-aided smothering maneuvers. | Available for 65 Medals on Page 3 of the Warbond. |
That is currently all of the Boosters that players can unlock in Helldivers 2. Some are much stronger and more useful for players to bring in with an entire team. Others are strictly meant to be used when you are playing in solo sessions. They all change up the playstyles for missions, so if you feel like trying a different one out, don’t be afraid to. The Boosters are all meant to help give your team that extra help you need in Helldivers 2.
