These are the best Backpack Support Stratagems in Helldivers 2.
We are also looking at how these are particularly effective against the Illuminate.
Helmets and capes have no passives or stats attached.
you’ve got the option to pick these solely off of fashion.
This passive gives you a 50 percent chance not to die when taking lethal damage.
Furthermore, Democracy Protects prevents all damage from chest bleeding.
The coin flip is nice, but some things are still an auto-kill.
7Extra Padding
Extra Padding is another passive that’ll be useful no matter who you’re fighting.
Figure out how to make calamari out of your favorite enemies here!
Extra Padding adds 50 to the armor rating of your armor regardless of its throw in.
Don’t mind heavy armor?
Using heavy armor with Extra Padding nets you a total armor rating of 200.
This is a great way to become nigh-invincible, but don’t think you’re unkillable.
The Fortified passive gives you 30 percent extra reduction to your recoil when crouching or prone.
Fortified also offers a 50 percent resistance to explosive damage, which is great for taking out structures.
A misplaced grenade or an exploding Illuminate ship is much easier to handle with the Fortified buff.
The MG and HMG support weapons are fan favorites against the Illuminate.
This passive’s recoil reduction brings the HMG’s recoil under control.
This passive can kill your fellow Helldivers!
While you could definitely get some distance on your grenades, greater distance is always better.
Using this armor passive adds another 30 percent to your throwing range to help you take out objectives safely.
Got your Servo-Assisted on?
Here are the throwable grenades in Helldivers 2 and how to make the most of them.
Another benefit is that Servo Assisted adds another 50 percent to limb health.
That’s an excellent passive against the Illuminate since the melee Overseers do a gratuitous amount of limb damage.
It can be tough to get a grenade in the sweet spot to blow up an Illuminate ship.
You may prefer anti-personnel grenades instead.
3Siege-Ready
Siege-Ready is one of the most popular armor passives in the game.
For shotguns and full-auto assault rifles, this quicker reload speed gets you out of trouble much faster.
The second portion of Siege-Ready is to give you more ammo for your primaries as well.
Illuminate maps tend to be packed with scattered ammo crates, so this helps you stay topped up.
If a weapon doesn’t need to reload or have ammo, then Siege-Ready is significantly less useful.
We do not recommend this passive with Laser weapons for this reason.
This passive gives you +2 to your initial inventory of throwables.
That countsallthrowables, making it ideal for bringing more of your favorite projectile.
The passive also adds +2 to your maximum capacity of throwables.
The second portion of this passive reduces recoil when crouching or prone by 30 percent.
Having more grenades is great, but against the Illuminate, we prefer Seeker grenades.
This passive means you could have half a dozen of these grenades flying around you at once.
Their floating Watcher scouts can close distance and shock you to slow you down and deal some good damage.
But the biggest challenge comes from the static Tesla Towers that the Illuminate uses as fortifications.
These are also often one-shot, making them one of the biggest challenges the faction can present.
Why limit yourself to countering enemies?
