How to get new weapons in Helldivers 2

It's important to get new weapons in Helldivers 2 if you want your in-game progression to be as easy as possible. While the starter missions will be quite easy to manage, you'll realize very soon that playing at higher difficulties is a lot more fruitful. To increase your chances of taking down the tougher enemies, you'll need to bring sufficient firepower, and this is where the aspect of unlocking different weapons arises.

Getting new weapons in Helldivers 2 includes two different segments: primary weapons and secondary arms. Both have their respective importance that you'll realize as you become more seasoned. Both types have plenty of choices already for you to unlock by just playing the game.
