Every weapon in Helldivers 2: How to unlock, weapon types, more

Your weapon choice in Helldivers 2 significantly impacts your performance, so here’s a complete rundown of all available weapons and how to unlock them.

Helldivers 2 takes the cooperative top-down gameplay of its predecessor and elevates it into an electrifying third-person shooter journey. The game enables strategic use of Stratagems and has intense battles where players are ready to face numerous enemies throughout their missions.

Another key element of Helldivers 2 is the weapons you put in your loadout before landing on a planet. Depending on the enemy faction you’ll be facing, some weapons will be more beneficial than others. If you’re wondering exactly what weapons are available in the game, we’ve got you covered with a full rundown of them all right here.

How many weapons are there in Helldivers 2?

As of writing, Helldivers 2 features 47 weapons in total, with 37 Primary guns and 10 Secondary guns.

Of course, that number soars even higher when factoring in weapons pulled from Stratagems like Machine Guns and Grenade Launchers, but strictly speaking of weapons available for your loadout, 41 is the current haul.

There’s always a chance this number grows in future updates too, as devs look to keep the game fresh for months and even years to come.
