Booster Tier List in Helldivers 2: Here are the Best
For a quick and easy overview, we have listed all the names of the boosters in our listing and categorized them into S to C tiers.
S-Tier
- Hellpod Space Optimization
- Muscle Improvement
- Stamina Improvement
- Vitality Improvement
- Experimental Infusion
A-Tier
- Flame Bomb Hellpods (NEW)
- Location Disruption
- Motivational Shocks
B-Tier

- Recon Drone Booster
C-Tier
- Increased Reinforcement Budget
- Flexible Reinforcement Budget
Which are the best boosters? The race for the best boosters is mainly made up of four improvements. These include Hellpod Space Optimization, Muscle Improvement, Stamina Improvement, and Vitality Improvement.
With a group that has equipped all of these improvements, you will always be well-prepared, traverse rugged terrain with ease, sprint longer, and withstand injuries. This is especially important at higher difficulty levels.
Can I also use other boosters? Of course, depending on which mission you are tackling, you can swap out the boosters. Examples such as Location Disruption can make exploring easier, while Evacuation Pilot Ace allows for quick evacuations.
No booster is completely useless; players just need to decide which ones are worth it. Increased and Flexible Reinforcement Budgets are both boosters intended mainly for newcomers. They forgive mistakes, which is especially common as a Cadet. However, as you get better, you don’t need second chances, but buffs that especially make an impact in combat and while fleeing.
That was all the boosters that players can currently obtain. If you’re looking for a tier list of the best gear, we have the perfect overview for you: Helldivers 2: Tier List of the Best Gear – All Stratagems at a Glance
