Boosters are special unlockable items that players can equip to grant them certain special effects in the battleground. They act like Passive Effects in Helldivers 2 and are granted to the entire team together. Moreover, one booster cannot be used by more than one person in the party.

Boosters can be unlocked from the Warbond Pages in the Acquisition Center. You will need to spend a specific amount of Medals to unlock and equip Boosters. We have a detailed guide for you to learn how you can get these valuable Medals fast. If you do not know how to get to the Acquisition Center, here are the steps to get to the menu and unlock Boosters.

  • Once you are in your Ship, press R to enter the Acquisition Center.
  • On this screen, you will find the Standard Warbond – Helldivers Mobilize and Premium Warbond – Steeled Veterans.
  • On the Standard Warbond, you will find Boosters to unlock on Pages 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, and 10.
  • Scroll through the Pages and click on the Booster you want to unlock. Keep in mind that, before unlocking the Boosters, you will first need to unlock the corresponding pages by spending the required amount of Medals on the previous pages.

After you have unlocked a Booster, head over to the Armory on your ship and access it. Now, scroll to the Boosters section or press 4 on your keyboard. From this menu, equip the Booster that you want to take on battle. You can only equip one Booster at a time. Moreover, you can also equip a Booster while finalizing your loadout before getting deployed for a mission.
