Helldivers 2 has quickly become a favorite among tactical shooter fans, not just for its intense gameplay but for the depth of combat roles it offers. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or a fresh recruit, the right items can dramatically shift how you approach each role on the battlefield. In this article, I’ll break down 17 combat roles in Helldivers 2 and highlight the items that can help you master them.
Frontline Assault
The frontline soldier thrives on pushing enemy lines aggressively. Heavy weapons and durable armor are essential here. Equipping high-damage assault rifles combined with reinforced armor lets you sustain and dish out punishment simultaneously.
Sniper/Marksman
Precision is key. Long-range rifles and spotting gadgets amplify your ability to pick off threats from afar. Don’t overlook items that stabilize aim or reduce recoil — these improve shot accuracy in tense moments.
Demolition Expert
Explosives are your best friend. From grenades to rocket launchers, items that maximize blast radius or reload speed give you an edge in clearing clusters of enemies or destroying vehicles.
Support Medic
Healing gear and revival items define this role. The right medkits can save teammates and turn the tide of battle. Pair these with defensive shields or smoke grenades to create safe zones for healing.
Engineer/Tech Specialist
Deployable turrets, repair tools, and drones fall under this category. Using the right tech items lets you fortify positions and provide consistent fire support while repairing gear.
Recon Scout
Stealth and mobility dominate this role. Items that boost speed, reduce noise, or provide temporary invisibility let you gather intel without getting caught.
Heavy Gunner
Heavy machine guns and ammo packs keep the enemy suppressed. Choosing items that increase ammo capacity or reduce overheating will sustain your firepower longer.
Tank/Shield Bearer
Bulky armor and energy shields are a must. Items boosting defense or generating barriers help you absorb damage and protect your squad.
Demolition Support
Combining explosive expertise with crowd control tools. Items that can stun or slow enemies before a blast help maximize your damage output.
Combat Medic
More offensive than pure support, this role requires balancing healing items with defensive weapons. Quick-healing injectors and sidearms are crucial.
Infiltrator
Quick strikes and getaway tactics benefit from grappling hooks and silenced weapons. Items enhancing jump height or dash speed improve your escape options.
Heavy Support
Focused on area denial, this role uses flamethrowers or mines. Items increasing damage over time or deployment speed boost effectiveness.
Pilot/Vehicle Operator
Vehicles change the battlefield dynamic. Items that improve vehicle durability or weaponry are critical here.
Grenadier
Specializing in throwable explosives, selecting items with faster throw speed or increased damage radius is essential.
Shield Support
Supporting frontline tanks by providing mobile shields or energy barriers. Items increasing shield duration or radius help keep allies safe.
Sniper Spotter
Equipped with gadgets that mark enemies for your team. Items that extend spotting range or duration increase your utility.
Scout Sniper Hybrid
Balancing stealth and precision shooting, this role benefits from items improving both mobility and accuracy.
