The weapons I’m going to go through today are all Primary and Secondary weapons. You can use Stratagems to call down heavy and support weapons, but this is all about weapons you can unlock through the Warbonds. I’m only going to go through weapons available on the free Warbond, which everyone has access to, and all you need to unlock these weapons are medals, which you get from completing missons.
Without further delay, lets dive into the list of the best weapons to get in Helldivers 2.
P-2 Peacemaker
This is a decent sidearm and better than many of the pistols in the game. It’s not quite as good as the P-19 Redeemer for helping you out when you get in a tough spot. The P2 Peacemaker is good for finishing off enemies when you primary weapon has run dry.
How to get: Unlocked at the start
SMG-37 Defender
This SMG is very good and plays like an Auto Rifle. This has good range, recoil and a slower firing rate than other SMGs but also has higher damage than some Auto Rifles. It’s best in close range, but can also deal decent damage in mid range too. Definitely one to try.

SG-225 Breaker
Shotguns are very strong in Helldivers 2, and you’ll want to try out the SG-225 Breaker. This shotgun had good range, plus it reloads clips of ammo and fires in full auto, meaning if you getting overwhelmed by enemies you can unleash this weapon and then move to safety quickly.

AR-23 Liberator
This is our starting weapon we get fresh out of training, but it’s an effective auto rifle. It’s got decent damage and range, plus a good amount of ammo. It’s not top of the class, but it’s a reliable wepaon you can use in most situations.
How to get: Unlocked at the start
R-63 Diligence
This is a primary rifle which is strong for taking down enemies with a single shot. This rifle fires single rounds, so there’s no holding down the trigger, which may take some getting used to. There’s also the Counter Sniper, which gives you stronger ammo for even more stopping power.

P-19 Redeemer
This is the best secondary weapon in the game right now. While the magazine is relatively small, this weapon deals burst damage and it’s a great weapon for when you’re in a tight situation. If you run out of ammo with your Primary, then whip out the P-19 Redeemer and fend off your enemies with relative ease.

AR-23P Liberator Penetrator
This is a very good assault rifle, given it can pierce medium armor. The magazine isn’t as large as some other weapons, but it’ll make up for it with damage. It’s got decent range stats, plus you can tear through armored enemies – for example, you can pierce through chargers legs, making this weapons one of the best all-rounder weapons for your loadouts.
