Weapon Customisation: Sharpening the Tools of Democracy
Beyond just new enemies, Helldivers 2 now features an extensive weapon customisation system. Unlocking at rank 10, this update lets players modify their primary weapons using new attachments and cosmetic options.

According to PC Gamer, customization isn’t just for show—it’s designed to support endgame players with meaningful progression and new strategies.
Expect to see attachments for magazines, muzzles, optics, and even unique patterns. While experimental weapons offer fewer options, standard firearms have a wealth of customisation choices. This system is set to expand further, giving players endless combinations.
