The Weapon Customization feature inHelldivers 2lets players personalize their favorite guns with different cosmetic-only skins and practical attachments that change how weapons handle. This long-awaited is free for everyone, and while it’s not terribly complicated, there’s still some depth here that players might be interested in learning about.
Though notevery weapon inHelldivers 2can be customized, players still have a lot to look forward to when it comes to decking out their favorite guns. In this guide, we’ll be covering how to use the Weapon Customization system, including how to unlock patterns and attachments, as well as brief overviews of which stat does what.
How to Customize Weapons in Helldivers 2
To customize your weapon, you need to go to yourArmory terminal aboard the Super Destroyer. You can’t customize your guns at the pre-mission screen, so if you want to swap some things out, it’s best to do it before you step into your hellpod.
As of writing,only Primary Weapons are allowed to be customized(except for collab weapons). Go to the Armory terminal, pick a Primary Weapon, then select the Customize option to get started.
Attachments
Most weapons have several attachment slots that players can customize. This includes:
While nearlyall Primary Weaponscan be customized,not all of them have the same attachment slots, and even then, not all of them may have the same attachment options available. For example, while SMGs have Underbarrel slots, they don’t have the Angled Grip attachment that the assault rifles have.
Attachments are unlocked by leveling weapons up, and before they can be used, players must buy them using Requisition. Weapon XP is earned at the end of every mission, with higher difficulty missions rewarding more XP.
Weapon Stats
Players can now view auxilliary weapon stats by customizing their guns in the Armory. These stats include:
Patterns
Much like attachments, weapon patterns must be bought using Requisition and unlocked by leveling weapons up. These are purely cosmetic and offer no actual benefit to weapon performance.
