What is the level cap in Helldivers 2?

After the April 2nd changes from Patch 01.000.200, the level cap of Helldivers 2 has been raised from 50 to 150. This comes, likely, as a result of how many players have been sticking around the game. And, how loyal the player base seems to be to the democratic mission of galactic freedom.

If the game's popularity continues, this level cap will continue to increase, bringing more hilarious titles along with it.

How to change your rank in Helldivers 2

Players can only change their ranks at the Armory aboard their ship. Once you are at the Armory, select the "Character" button, and then you should see "Title." Click that, and you will be able to see all the titles you have unlocked so far. You can then equip whichever you choose.

It took this author a while when first playing the game to realize how simple this is. So, if you are already level 15 and just finding out too, you aren't alone. We've got Automatons to worry about for crying out loud!

So, there you have it, all of the ranks in Helldivers 2, how to get them, and how to equip them! For more Helldivers 2 and general gaming content from esports.gg, stay tuned!
