Helldivers 2 features a lot of weapons and armor sets that players can use in fighting for freedom against hordes of horrific alien creatures.

However, choosing which armor set actually fits your needs and playstyle can sometimes be a daunting task. This guide helps players know what are the best armor sets in the game and how to get them.

The first thing to know about armor sets in Helldivers 2 is that there are three categories; Light Armor, Medium Armor, and Heavy Armor.

These have varying levels of armor rating, speed, and stamina regen and mainly go in the way of sacrificing speed for armor rating and stamina regen.

Knowing which type of armor to use in certain scenarios can be useful in trying to minimize damage to yourself and maximizing their benefits. But there are some armor sets that stand out, which are the ones we'll be talking about in this article, according to Dexerto.

SC-34 Infiltrator

While Helldivers 2 may be primarily a co-op game, there are still some players who prefer to tackle its challenges solo. Going this route, the SC-34 Infiltrator is a very powerful armor set that is one of the most balanced you can find in the game.

It provides an armor rating of 75, a speed of 525, a stamina regen of 113, and also provides a passive skill. This is known as Scout and makes markers placed on the map generating radar scans every two seconds.

CM-21 Trench Paramedic

This particular light armor comes with the Med-Kit passive, which lets players stay very mobile and still heal up from damage. This is an armor set that you can simply buy from the Superstore if you have the cash for it, said GamesRadar.

SA-25 Steel Trooper

If you're looking for an armor set with the Servo-Assisted passive, then this particular medium armor is the right pick for you. While throwing Stratagems a farther distance is nice, the extra health will reduce the impact of injuries.

SC-30 Trailblazer

But arguably the best armor set in Helldivers 2 is the SC-30 Trailblazer for its myriad of uses and useful passive. It also features the Scout passive and is among the three armor sets that have the highest speed and stamina regen available in the game.

Another thing that is worth noting is that enhanced stealth with light armor makes solo missions much easier because enemy patrols will not detect you as easily, according to DualShockers.
