Booster Tier List for Helldivers 2

honestly, I feel like the hp, ammo, and stamina boosters should have been ship modules to begin with. They're just universally good and are basically throwing if not picked.

I was really excited for the motivational shocks but it occured to me that Alexus was the one in charge of balancing and wow did this disappoint

maybe expert extract pilot could let you call it in anywhere, like he'll still land at the designated place and leave if no one's there, but it would be nice to call it while running back from finishing main obj

Localization confusion booster increases the cooldown time for bugs and bots to call in breaches and bit drops. There is essentially a timer between their ability to call in such, hence why they don't infinitely keep spawning. Its quite good on defense and civilian extract missions as it gives you extra breathing room. I wouldn't run it on normal missions though.

They should add a booster that makes the guns good.

Muscle Enhancement is imo the single most important booster on snow maps with blizzard. It is absolutely miserable not having this one in a blizzard. I really like it for bugs in general, the slows feel much more manageable with it.

A booster that raises your support weapons +1 armor pierce would be fun

What localization confusion ACTUALLY does, is increase the time in between reinforcement calls by 30 seconds. When a breech/bot drop happens, there is a global cooldown which means that enemies cannot call additional breeches until this cooldown is over. Often times, if your team isn't running optimal loadouts, you won't be able to kill everything before the next one is called, especially if a patrol comes in. This just gives you more time before the next call can be made. It doesn't affect patrols, or spawn rate in any way

They’ve said they want to incentivize stratagem use so I’m wondering why there hasn’t been a booster that reduces stratagem cooldown

Would be fun to have a hell pod upgrade that does fire, explosive or electrical damage when it lands.

The Icon animation in the top right is very S tier Your presentation quality is really good.

After 1 bot shoots a flare, a CD begins before any other flares can be shot, the Localization booster adds a small amount to this timer. This mechanic is why you don't see flares being shot constantly. Many people struggled against bots and often fell into reinforcement loops after the update that increased enemy spawns on Helldive, I think this is the reason why you find comments saying it's good vs bots. Personally it's my preferred 4th slot booster but I don't think it affects breaches/drop ships that spawn from mission objectives.

One disagreement. Singular and unos. Localization confusion seems to be godteir on defense extractions. I don't know if you've tested it against the 'dickhead' scripted targeted spawns, but it seems to delay them. This might be good for lesser geared players on tiny high-difficulty exterminations, but the tiny defense extracts also seem to be affected by them. Though, I don't do dough's degree of testing. Point is, localization seems to smack on tiny maps. Otherwise, flushed.

Im pretty sure enemies have a set time before they can call in a new breach or drop. Localisation confusion increasses that time. S tier if you want to complete missions.

The vitality booster actually works more similar to armor. The Eravin has a video that goes into more detail

anybody bringing reinforcement buffs is putting up an immediate red flag for me to leave... cos its a declaration of 'i burn through reinforcements like a Russian commissar in stalingrad'

Dude I normally like your content but I could not disagree more on you rank of (Localization confusion). That is an auto pick for me unless someone else has it. Some other guy tested it and it cuts time between (breaches-drops) by like 23 seconds. 23 seconds before another breach or drop is an eternity on higher difficulties.

Shock booster seems really inconsistent sometimes. Like the only things I can confirm it works with are Tremors and Bile Titan spit slows. Its extremely hard to tell if it works anywhere else.

I always pick endurance boost because you are running all the time.

Mr Dough, I'd like to thank you for suggesting using creatine even if you don't work out in an old video for the benefits it can have on the brain and muscle fatigue. My partner is disabled and we have both started taking creatine daily and they have noticed an improvement in their tiredness and brainfog and also possibly a decrease to their pain (however it is too early to determine that). It has by no means fixed them but has helped and it was because of your suggestion so thank you.
