Most armor pieces come with default stats divided into three categories: stamina, speed, and armor rating.
However, each piece also comes with an armor perk that completely changes the playstyle.
The armor perk gives your helldivers the extra boost required to complete an objective.
Each perk caters to a certain playstyle, and you dedicate yourself to that role should you pick it.
For example, the Med Kit armor perk gives two more stims.
Hence, you’ve got the option to either survive longer or offer extra stims to your teammates.
Scout
All armors with aScout armor perk can be played as a recon or stealth playstyle.
Thisarmor perk pings nearby threatswhen you place the markeron the map every two seconds.
Secondly, theScout armor perk reduces your helldiver’s detection range by 30 percent.
Scout armor is reserved for the light armor types only.
Fortified
The Fortified armor perk is the opposite of the Scout perk.
It ensuresyour helldiver survives longer with an increase of 50 percent resistance to explosive damage.
TheFortified armor perk also favors players running with a higher rate of fireweapons.
Whenever you go prone or crouch to open fire,you get a 30 percent reduced recoil.
Using theFortified armor perk against the Terminds is less desirable, as you will never take incoming explosive damage.
We recommend picking this up during the Automaton missions to get the most out of the Fortified perk.
Med Kit
Med Kit armor perk offers players two playstyles.
Regardless of the playstyle, theMed Kit armor perk is most desirable against Automatons.
Running out of stims is common, especially when you play Automaton missions on Helldive difficulty.
Engineering Kit
Anoffensive playstyle can never be better without the Engineering Kit.
Theextra grenades are valuable in missions like Blitz.
Extra Padding
Ahigher armor rating ensures you soak more damageand survive longer.
Electrical Conduit
TheCutting Edge Warbondbrought three new armors, each with the Electrical Conduit perk.
Helldivers wearing this armor passive willget 95 percent resistance from the arc damage.
The Electrical Conduit perk armor passive has no advantage if no teammate uses arc-based equipment.
Therefore, keep an eye on your squadmates while picking the loadout before diving out of the Hellpod.
Only go for Electrical Conduit armor perks if you see your teammates picking up relevant stratagems.
Whenever the perk works, you will be left with one HP.
Thisperk shines while playing Blitz missions on the Automaton faction.
Theincreased limb healthperk from Servo-Assisted armor showcases itsuse when going against Automatons.
