Armor - your main protection in battle, and the better its stats, the higher your survivability. In the game, there are three main types of gear: light, medium, and heavy. In this guide, we've compiled a selection of the best armor in Helldivers 2 with descriptions, advantages, and features. Each variant has its own effects and bonuses that you can use for different purposes.

TR-7 "Brand Ambassador"

TR-7 "Brand Ambassador" - universal infantry armor with the passive bonus "Extra Padding". Suitable at the start of the game for calmly completing the first missions. It's not endowed with significant enhancements.

SC-34 "Infiltrator"

SC-34 "Infiltrator" - light armor suitable for reconnaissance and fast movement. Equip it on scouts whose main task is to explore the surrounding area and warn of potential enemies but not to engage in direct combat.

DP-40 "Hero of the Federation"

SA-25 "Steel Trooper"

SA-25 "Steel Trooper" - premium armor with increased throwing range by 30%. Passive ability: +50% to limb health.

SC-30 "Trailblazer Scout"

SC-30 "Trailblazer Scout" - another light armor, perfect for scouts. Reduces visibility to enemies by 30%. Allows scanning the area every 2 seconds with a radar based on markers placed on the map.

SC-37 "Legionnaire"

SC-37 "Legionnaire" - light armor with the equipment of the Steel Trooper: +50% to limb health and +30% to throwing range of bombs and projectiles. Consider it as an alternative if you don't plan on purchasing premium.
