This Helldivers 2 guide explains how to get Boosters.
Helldivers 2 is a fun and unique multiplayer experience that takes the emphasis off competition and focuses on cooperation.
Players team up in squads of up to four soldiers to complete missions as part of a galactic war. Each mission begins with players being deployed onto a planet inside a Hellpod.
These pods can be upgraded using so-called Boosters to give squads enhancements and power-ups. However, if you’re new to the game, the Booster mechanic isn’t directly explained and you may be wondering how to unlock them.
Thankfully, it’s pretty straightforward. Although it will take lots of time to unlock every Booster currently available in the game.
