Last Updated on: 16 March, 2024 | 11:40 AM

Helldivers 2 is one of the most successful games of this year. Since the game was released, players have dived into their journey to save the Super Earth, but the process goes through challenging fights and missions. Once you start your Helldivers 2 journey, you will eventually realize that the entire gameplay is full of Automaton and Terminind enemies that can’t be ignored anyway. Mostly these are all armored enemies who will give you enough hard time fighting them. Even players will get eliminated if they are not prepared for the fight. Weapons are not the only thing to focus on; players also need to find the best armor for them as well.

Helldivers 2 has challenging enemies, intense battles, powerful weapons, and some cool-looking armor. Before every mission players need to choose a loadout which includes an armor set. However, not all armors that have an impressive look can protect you effectively. So, below we will list the top three cool-looking armors with the best qualities.

CE-35 Trench Engineer

best armors helldivers 2 — CE-35 Trench Engineer Armor

One of the best looking armor sets of the game is the CE-35 Trench Engineer. Its bright orange color gives this armor set an impressive look. However, this is not available by default; instead, players need to get CE-35 Trench Engineer in exchange for 10 Medals. While this armor set may not be the most suitable one for camouflaging, it is definitely one of the best armor sets players can access at an affordable price with some impressive abilities. For example, while equipping this armor, it will increase the Grenade carrying capacity by 2, and reduce recoil when crouched or prone by 30 percent.

This armor set will probably look more impressive, if it doesn’t have the shoulder guards. Anyway, if you ignore it for a bit, you will realize that this armor is best for crowd control and reducing friendly fire. Friendly fire is a great problem in Helldivers 2 and often in the darkness, players fire at their teammates. However, the bright orange color of the CE-35 Trench Engineer, can’t be covered by darkness. Therefore, it reduces the chance of friendly fire.

Most importantly, Trench Engineer will be more effective against the Automatons. It’s not like that you can’t use it against Terminids, but Automatons are slow enemies and take more damage from grenades.

SA-32 Dynamo

SA-32 Dynamo is a sleek and beautiful armor set available in the game which players can afford only by spending 64 medals at the Warbond. However, there’s a catch. This armor will be unlocked through Steeled Veterans Premium Warbond, which needs to be unlocked using 1,000 Super Credits.

SA-32 Dynamo is not only one of the coolest armor sets to be found, it is basically one of the most effective armor sets to use in combat. This complete white armor set is more dependable than most other armor in a battle.

Coming with 144 armor rating, this heavy white armor comes with a helmet, white metal cape and two prosthetic limbs. That’s the coolest and most attractive feature of this armor set. If you are confused whether to wear a white armor set for a bloody battle, let me tell you that’s not a problem. Instead, you should focus on the abilities the armor set will provide you with. For example, it will increase your throwing range by 30%, and grant an additional 50% limb health.

This armor can be equally effective against Automatons and Terminids as it will substantially reduce your damage intake. This will further increase when you will connect it to the Vitality Enhancement booster as this booster also helps players resist injury.

FS-38 Eradicator

When talking about the coolest armor sets of the game, it is impossible to miss FS-38 Eradicator. By far most players have acknowledged this armor set as the best armor with the coolest look. However, this armor will take some time to be unlocked as it can only be purchased from the Superstore using 250 Supercredits. If you have been playing Helldivers 2 for some time already, you must know that Superstores only accept Supercredits.

Apart from 56 Armor Rating, this armor comes with a helmet that resembles the helmet of Scout Troopers from Star Wars.This light armor has an impressive appearance with a bullet belt at the waist. This belt gives the armor a different look. However, players may wonder why it is called one of the best armors of the game. Well, that’s because of its passive abilities.

Once players equip FS-38 Eradicator, they will get 30% recoil reduction when crouch or go prone. Additionally, this armor gives 50% explosive damage resistance. This is the most attractive part of the armor which makes it one of the best armors to fight Automaton and Terminid enemies without worries.

Though both enemies can be taken down using this armor, it is best to use against Automatons. While equipping this armor, players can defeat automatons easily as the explosives won’t deal damage. Therefore, as you progress and face powerful Automaton enemies, it will be best to have FS-38 Eradicator armor.

These are the top armors in Helldivers 2 that players should not miss in the game. These armors are not only effective in combat, but can give players a unique look.
