Best Ship Modules in Helldivers 2

Your ship can equip three ship modules for each of the six sections of your ship. These parts of your Destroyer are called Patriotic Administration Center, Orbital Cannons, Hangar, Bridge, Engineering Bay, and Robotics Workshop. That said, here are five of the best modules for your ship in Helldivers 2.


1) Expanded Weapons Bay

  • Ship section: Hangar
  • Requirements: Purchase Pit Crew Hazard Bay module.
  • Affected Equipment: All hangar Stratagems except Jump Packs.

The Expanded Weapons Bay upgrade allows you to be more offensive on the battlefield. The Eagle Stratagem in Helldivers 2 is already one of the best in the game, and this particular Ship Module takes things to the next level. You gain an extra charge every time you use the Eagle Rearm ability, allowing you to mow down bosses and mobs easily.

The Expandable Weapons Bay is, without a doubt, the best Ship Module you can find in Helldivers 2.


2) Rapid Launch System

  • Ship section: Engineering Bay
  • Requirements: Purchase the Advanced Construction module.
  • Affected Equipment: Shield Generator Relay, Tesla Tower, Anti-Personnel Minefield, Incendiary Mines, HMG Emplacement.

The cooldowns on your Stratagems may mess your mission up and end your squad's life. The Rapid Launch System resolves this issue as it instantly allows you to deploy equipment like Shield Generators and Incendiary Mines, giving you much-needed breathing room.

This makes the Rapid Launch Systems one of the best Ship Modules in Helldivers 2.


3) Pit Crew Hazard Pay

  • Ship section: Hangar
  • Requirements: Purchase the Liquid-Ventilated Cockpit module.
  • Affected Equipment: None

The Eagle Stratagems are considered one of the best in Helldivers 2 because of their low cooldown and offensive abilities. But they are limited, and even though you can resupply them, it comes at a cooldown for a few minutes, disabling the Stratagems.

You can counter this issue using the Pit Crew Hazard Bay, which reduces the cooldown of Eagle Rearm by 20%, making it one of the best Ship Modules in Helldivers 2.


4) Donation Access License

  • Ship section: Patriotic Administration Center
  • Requirements: 60 common samples.
  • Affected Equipment: Stalwart, Railgun, Laser Cannon, Grenade Launcher, Machine Gun, Flamethrower, Anti-Material Rifle.

Certain weapons in Helldivers 2 cannot be used for a while once you run out of ammo. The Donation Access License allows you to use these guns for a long duration and mow down hordes of enemies.

This is one of the earliest upgrades you can purchase and among the best Ship Modules in Helldivers 2.


5) Liquid-Ventilated Cockpit

  • Ship section: Hangar
  • Requirements: 80 common samples.
  • Affected Equipment: All hangar Stratagems except Jump Packs.

The Liquid-Ventilated Cockpit works similarly to Pit Crew Hazard Pay. The Eagle Stratagems are among the best because of their low cooldown. Furthermore, this module gives it a 50% reduction.

It is also quite cheap, costing only 80 common samples, making it one of the best Ship Modules in Helldivers 2.
