We will cover the meta in the game and what the best loadouts and strategies are for each mission. So, grab your Liberator, strap in, and let's get started. We're going to use a tier list format: S, A, B, C, and D, where S is the best and D is the worst.

S-Tier: The Galactic Guardians

These are the cream of the crop in Helldivers 2, the weapons, armor, and stratagems that will consistently carry you through the toughest missions. They're the go-to choices for any situation, offering unmatched versatility, damage output, and survivability. If you’re lucky enough to grab these, you're almost guaranteed to make any mission a success, or at least a lot easier. They define the current meta and are essential for any serious Helldiver. Let's see what’s on the list for this month. In the weapons category, we may see some old favorites that have managed to stay at the top. The first weapon we need to mention is the Breaker Shotgun. This weapon continues to reign supreme due to its insane close-range damage and high ammo capacity. The Railgun, even after the balance changes, remains an exceptional choice for dealing with heavy armor. With careful management, it can still take down Chargers and Titans with ease. The Arc Thrower is also very good due to its crowd-control capabilities and ability to take out multiple enemies with a single shot. This is especially useful in horde-style situations. For armor, the Light Armor that provides increased stamina regeneration and speed is still a great option for hit-and-run tactics. The Shield Generator Pack is absolutely essential. It provides a protective bubble that can save you from a lot of damage, especially from stray bullets and explosions. For the stratagems, the Orbital Railcannon is still very good for dealing with priority targets such as Bile Titans and other heavily armored enemies. The Eagle 500KG Bomb can wipe out entire enemy nests or heavily concentrated groups of enemies. The EMS Mortar Sentry is a fantastic choice for crowd control, and it's particularly effective at slowing down enemies. If you're looking for a defensive position, this is a must-have.

Weapons in the S-Tier

  • Breaker Shotgun: Still the king of close-range combat, the Breaker offers unmatched damage and ammo capacity.
  • Railgun: Effective against armored enemies, although requires careful management.
  • Arc Thrower: The best weapon for horde clearing, it has crowd-control capabilities and can take out many enemies at once.

A-Tier: The Reliable Stalwarts

These are the weapons, armor, and stratagems that offer excellent performance and are reliable choices for various situations. While not quite as dominant as the S-tier, they are still capable of carrying you through most missions with skill and strategy. These options are versatile and offer a great balance of power and utility. They may have niche uses or require specific playstyles to fully utilize their potential. Consider these your workhorses, the gear you can always rely on to get the job done. The A-Tier is a solid selection of options that, with proper use, can be as good as the S-Tier. Some of the weapons include the Defender SMG, a great secondary weapon, with good mobility and ammo capacity. The Flamethrower can also be very useful, especially in situations where you are fighting swarms of enemies, and it can also kill enemies hiding in cover. The Spear, a rocket launcher that can lock onto targets, is a good option for taking out heavy armor. For armor, we can see the Medium Armor that provides a good balance between protection and mobility. The Supply Pack, which provides ammunition and grenades to you and your teammates. For the stratagems, we have the Orbital Gatling Barrage, which is very good for area denial and crowd control. The Eagle Airstrike is another great choice for quick, high-damage strikes. The Autocannon Sentry is a good option for a defensive position, which can provide sustained fire and take out enemies.

This tier includes weapons, armor, and stratagems that can be highly effective in specific scenarios but may not be as versatile as the higher tiers. They might excel in certain mission types or against particular enemy factions. These choices require a bit more strategic thinking and careful consideration of the mission parameters. Think of these as the tools in your toolbox that you pull out when you need a specific solution. They can be very useful if used correctly but may not be the best choice in every situation.

For stratagems, the Orbital Laser is a good option for taking out heavy armor, but it has a long cooldown. The Mortar Sentry is good for defending a position, but may require careful placement. The Airstrike is another good choice for quick, high-damage strikes. These items require a bit more finesse to make them work. Use these when you want to try out new things, and you might be surprised by how effective some of these options can be.

They might have specific uses or be effective in particular scenarios, but they often lack the versatility or power of the higher tiers. These are the options you might experiment with for fun or when you want to try something different. This tier is not necessarily bad, but these items are not as good as the higher-tier options. Some of the weapons you may find are the Machine Pistol, which lacks the damage output of the other guns.
