You can now upgrade your ship modules to level 4, for Democracy.

Helldivers 2 continues to thrive, keeping more players, for longer, than people may have expected. As a result, the dev team continues to give players more room to level up and become even more destructive. And now, helldivers can power up their fleets even more, thanks to these new ship modules.

Level 4 ship modules added to Helldivers 2

In a post on X earlier this morning from the official Helldivers 2 account, devs revealed six all-new level 4 ship modules that players can now equip. These will allow players to make their stratagems even that much more deadly. Here is a closer look at each of the new modules.

Hangar - XXL Weapons Bay

Upgrade effect: Eagle stratagems that drop multiple bombs will drop one additional bomb(s).

Bridge - Enhanced Combustion

Upgrade effect: Fire damage from stratagems increased by 25%

Robotics Workshop - Blast Absorption

Upgrade effect: Sentries take 50% less damage from explosions

Orbital Cannons - Atmospheric Monitoring

Upgrade effect: Orbital HE barrage spread reduced by 15%

Engineering Bay - Circuit Expansion

Upgrade effect: Lightning arcs, fired from weapons and turrets, jump to one additional enemy

Patriotic Administration Center - Superior Packing Methodology

Upgrade effect: Resupply boxes refill support weapons with the maximum number of carriable magazines.

Level 4 ship modules will pack a new late-game punch

With these new ship modules, players reaching the newly raised level cap will have even more to play for. And, with a massive new Automaton fleet just arriving in the galaxy, players are going to need these new upgrades to fend them off.

To earn these, as with any other ship modules, helldivers will need to find all kinds of samples at higher difficulty levels and unlock the three levels of each module type. So, what are you waiting for, helldiver? It's time to get out there and unlock new heights, for democracy!
