Leaked footage from the Helldivers 2 development server showed off several new weapons, armor, Stratagems, boosters, and more. which could soon be coming to the game.
Upon its release, Helldivers 2 was a runaway success, attracting hundreds of thousands of players to cross the galaxy to take on enemy forces. After investing countless hours into the game, many players have already managed to obtain all of the available weapons.
As a result, Helldivers 2’s most dedicated players are already looking to unlock even more content. Given the game’s somewhat limited weapon offering, only a few rifles in each category at launch, it’s no surprise that fans want more options.
Fortunately, the next War Obligation will bring new weapons that could change the meta, and some leaks have shown what we can expect. Keep in mind that these leaks should be taken with a grain of salt. Indeed, this is content in development so nothing is certain.

To start, we discover the new armor. Although no statistics are provided, they are clearly different from existing options. These new pieces have a slightly less flashy and orderly appearance than the armor currently available in-game, with the notable exception of the Hazmat suit. In addition, each armor is accompanied by a description enriched with new lore.
As for weapons and Stratagems, here are their full names and stats. Keep in mind that these are just leaks and are content in development. All information is therefore subject to change.
