Every Primary, Secondary, & Support Weapon in Helldivers 2

Players in Helldivers 2 can equip a primary, secondary, and support weapon. Primary weapons are larger-two handed weapons that you'll end up using for most of an operation, and secondary weapons are usually pulled out as a last resort.

Support weapons are by far the strongest, but are tied to strategems that need to be brought to the operation and called down when needed. There are lots of weapons to choose from for each option; here's every weapon in the game and where you have to go to unlock them.

Every Secondary Weapon in Helldivers 2

The Player Locking on to a Far Away Enemy

Secondary weapons are one-handed pistols that usually excel in fighting a few enemies at close range without being a melee weapon. While their various uses range, a secondary weapon should be chosen to help cover whatever enemy type or range is missed by your primary weapon.
