Helldivers 2 Armor Passives: A Comprehensive Guide and Tier List

Helldivers 2 categorizes armor into light, medium, and heavy, impacting mobility and defense. However, the real power lies in armor passives – potent perks significantly altering gameplay. This guide details all passives and provides a tier list to help you optimize your loadouts.

All Armor Passives and Their Effects

The following table lists all 14 armor passives (as of the 1.002.003 game version) and their descriptions. Remember, only body armor possesses passives; helmets and capes are standard.

Engineering Kit	+2 grenade capacity; 30% recoil reduction while crouching or prone.
Extra Padding	+50 armor rating.
Fortified	50% resistance to explosive damage; 30% recoil reduction while crouching or prone.
Inflammable	75% resistance to fire damage.
Med-Kit	+2 stim capacity; +2 seconds additional stim duration.
Peak Physique	100% increased melee damage; improved weapon handling (reduced weapon movement drag).

Servo-Assisted	30% increased throwing range; 50% additional limb health.
Siege-Ready	30% increased primary weapon reload speed; 30% increased primary weapon ammo capacity.
Unflinching	95% reduced recoil flinching.

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: closing bug holes, destroying fabricators/warp ships, using Thermites, and stun-locking enemies.
	Med-Kit	Significantly improves survivability, especially when combined with the Experimental Infusion booster, effectively negating death.
	Siege-Ready	Substantially enhances ammo capacity and reload speed, crucial for managing large enemy groups, particularly with high-ammo weapons.
A	Democracy Protects	Provides strong early-game defense, mitigating lethal damage.
	Extra Padding	Offers consistent damage resistance.
	Fortified	Extremely useful generally, and exceptionally effective against Automatons, improving survival against explosive attacks from Devastators, Hulks, and Tanks.
	Servo-Assisted	Highly effective against Terminids; increased throwing range allows for safe stratagem deployment and grenade use, while extra limb health mitigates claw attacks.
B	Peak Physique	Less useful as melee combat is generally avoided; reduced weapon drag is beneficial against mobile enemies but other strategies are often more effective.
	Inflammable	Ideal for fire-based builds, particularly useful against fire-vulnerable enemies and in environments with fire hazards.
	Scout	Useful for revealing enemy positions, but could be improved by highlighting points of interest or side objectives.
C	Acclimated	Limited value as you rarely face all four elemental damage types (acid, electrical, fire, gas) simultaneously.
	Advanced Filtration	Only beneficial for gas-focused builds, and the overall impact is relatively minor.
	Electrical Conduit	Primarily useful against the Illuminate, but other options are often preferable unless friendly fire is a major concern.
	Unflinching	Minimal impact on combat effectiveness; reduced camera shake and recoil are barely noticeable.

This guide and tier list should help you make informed decisions when selecting armor passives in Helldivers 2, leading to enhanced survivability and combat success. Remember that the optimal passive choice will vary depending on the specific mission and your playstyle.
