In Helldivers 2, survival depends on firepower just as much as it does on teamwork. With the right weapons in your arsenal, you can turn the tide of battle, hold your ground longer, and complete missions more efficiently. But not all of these powerful tools come free — many of them require Super Credits, a premium in-game currency.

If you're wondering how to get the most out of your Super Credits, this list breaks down 25 weapons that are worth unlocking. Whether you're farming bugs or tackling automaton strongholds, these weapons can give you the upper hand.

1. SG-225 Breaker

A solid, full-auto shotgun that's devastating in close quarters. It's a reliable choice for high-intensity swarm control.

2. LAS-5 Scythe

This laser rifle boasts infinite ammo (with cooldown), making it a favorite among players who prefer consistent damage over bursts.

3. MG-43 Machine Gun

When you need to hold a choke point, nothing quite compares. Just be sure to bring a teammate to reload it.

4. AR-23P Liberator Penetrator

This assault rifle variant punches through light armor and bug shells with ease — ideal for missions with dense enemy formations.

5. EAT-17

Technically a one-use anti-tank weapon, but absolutely essential against enemy armor. Always good to carry a couple.

6. LAS-16 Sickle

An automatic laser rifle that allows for sustained fire without reloading — perfect for suppressing advancing enemies.

7. R-36 Eruptor

A slow but powerful launcher that creates devastating AOE damage. Best used with good positioning and patience.

8. ARC-12 Blitzer

This arc thrower discharges electric bolts that chain between enemies. Amazing in co-op missions when enemies cluster.

9. SMG-37 Defender

Compact and fast-firing, this SMG is great for mobility-focused builds or when you want a reliable backup weapon.

10. SG-8 Punisher

A pump-action shotgun with high stopping power, perfect for clearing corridors and dealing with mid-sized threats.

11. P-19 Redeemer

One of the fastest-firing pistols in the game. Ideal as a sidearm for sniper-focused loadouts.

12. EXO-45 Patriot Exosuit

More than just a weapon — this exosuit comes with built-in guns and armor. Unlocking it with Super Credits is expensive but worth it.

13. MG-206 Heavy Machine Gun

Excellent suppression tool that combines power with a respectable fire rate. Set it up and lay waste to incoming waves.

14. ARC-3 Tesla Cannon

This lightning cannon can stun and wipe out crowds of enemies. Coordinate with your squad to avoid friendly shocks.

15. APW-1 Anti-Material Rifle

One of the most effective tools for picking off armored targets at range. Use it to counter enemy walkers and turrets.

16. GR-8 Grenade Launcher

A versatile tool that lets you lob explosive shells into cover or tight clusters. Great for flushing out enemies.

17. SG-225SP Breaker Spray & Pray

A variant with tighter spread and faster firing rate. A favorite among aggressive players who like to push.

18. Flamethrower

Short range but extremely effective against swarms. Keep your aim steady, and don't panic when the flames close in.

19. LAS-98 Laser Cannon

Deals continuous damage and never needs reloading, though it does overheat. Amazing for prolonged suppression.

20. Recoilless Rifle

A classic support weapon. Not flashy, but reliable — especially with a coordinated squad.

21. JAR-5 Dominator

A newer addition that combines burst fire with explosive damage, making it excellent for controlling mid-range threats.

22. CM-22 Mortar Turret

Technically a deployable, but it deserves mention. It provides automatic indirect fire support and can shift the flow of battle.

23. SC-30 Havoc

Another powerful sidearm that can stand on its own when your main gun runs dry.

24. Hellpod Launcher

A specialty weapon with limited use, but when deployed correctly, it can cause serious chaos.

25. Railgun

A fan-favorite that can pierce through multiple enemies and heavily armored targets. Charged shots require precision, but the payoff is massive.

How to Unlock These Weapons

Most of the weapons above are available via Warbonds, Requisition Points, and Super Credits. If you’re aiming to unlock them faster, farming missions and boosting your efficiency with squad tactics can help — but many players also choose to buy Helldivers 2 Super Credits to speed things up. Just make sure you’re spending them wisely.

For those working toward long-term progression, it’s also smart to buy Helldivers 2 medals to unlock more paths in the Warbonds system, which can contain exclusive weapons or cosmetics tied to time-limited content.

Sites like U4GM often provide access to these resources, and while it’s always possible to grind, sometimes convenience is worth the trade-off. Just make sure you’re prioritizing the weapons that actually enhance your playstyle and mission success rate.

Unlocking all 25 of these weapons may take time, but even adding a few to your loadout can drastically change how you handle the toughest missions. Focus on gear that fits your strategy, and your Super Credits will be well spent.
