Helldivers 2 will require you to face off against 100s of Terminids and Automatons so having the right stratagems and ship modules unlocked will massively improve your chances of survivability. Ship Modules will improve the various stratagems by decreasing the cooldown, improving the damage output, and more. On this page, we’ll guide you through the necessary steps to unlock Ship Modules.
You can unlock 18 Ship Modules in Helldivers 2.
How to Unlock Ship Modules in Helldivers 2¶
As you start playing the harder difficulties in Helldivers 2 you’ll start noticing that your weapon isn’t going to cut it on its own, this is where you’ll want to start adding upgrades to your destroyer in the form of ship modules. These can be acquired via the ship management system, but you won’t be able to get them straight away as they all cost at least 60 samples.
How to Get Samples in Helldivers 2¶
You can acquire samples by simply playing through and completing missions while looking around where you’ll find them on the floor in some places, but if you want to get your hands on the maximum number of samples available in that mission then you’ll want to try and complete all sub-objectives. Additionally, some Ship Modules will require rarer resources along with the samples and these can be found in the harder difficulties.
