Armor Passive Tier List (Version 1.002.003)
This tier list assesses passives based on overall value, utility, and effectiveness across various missions and enemy types.
Tier | Armor Passive | Why? |
---|---|---|
S | Engineering Kit | Extra grenades are invaluable for diverse tasks: sealing bug holes, destroying fabricators, and utilizing powerful grenades like Thermites. |
Med-Kit | Significantly boosts survival; especially potent with the Experimental Infusion booster, effectively negating death. | |
Siege-Ready | Substantially improves ammo management and reload times, crucial for handling large enemy groups, particularly with high-consumption weapons. | |
A | Democracy Protects | Provides strong early-game defense, mitigating lethal damage. |
Extra Padding | Offers consistent damage resistance. | |
Fortified | Extremely useful against Automatons, enhancing survivability against explosive attacks and improving weapon effectiveness against robotic enemies. | |
Servo-Assisted | Highly effective against Terminids; increased throwing range allows for safer stratagem deployment and grenade usage, while increased limb health mitigates claw attack damage. | |
B | Peak Physique | Situational; melee combat is generally avoided, though the weapon handling improvement can be beneficial against mobile enemies. |
Inflammable | Ideal for fire-based builds and situations with fire-based environments, providing significant advantages against certain enemy types. | |
Scout | Useful for revealing enemy positions; its value would be higher with additional features like highlighting objectives. | |
C | Acclimated | Limited value; rarely will all four elemental damage types be encountered in a single mission. |
Advanced Filtration | Only beneficial for gas-focused builds, and even then, the overall impact is limited. | |
Electrical Conduit | Primarily useful against the Illuminate, but other options often provide better overall effectiveness. | |
Unflinching | Minimal impact on combat effectiveness; the reduction in camera shake and recoil is negligible. |
This guide and tier list will help you optimize your Helldivers 2 experience by selecting the most effective armor passives for any situation. Remember that this tier list is subject to change with future game updates and patches.
