Helldivers 2 Armor Effects

Half the fun of Helldivers 2 (for me, anyway), is deciding on what weapons, stratagems, grenades, and armor I should bring on any given mission. And, in that regard, Helldivers 2 gives you no shortage of options. But, like most things in Helldivers 2, there are quite a few armor effects (or armor passives) available, and so you have quite a few to choose from.

And so, we’ve compiled a list of every armor effect in Helldivers 2 and what armor sets they’re on so you can make your Helldiving as efficient (and well protected) as possible. After all, Super Earth is nothing if not efficient!
