Helldivers 2 titles, when they unlock and level cap explained? ›

The Helldivers 2 level cap is 150, tripling the previous cap of 50. While that sounds exciting an increase to the level cap is fairly meaningless in the long run as the Stratagems locked behind level requirements are all unlocked by level 25. Those, and titles, are all you get for your hard earned levelling.

There are 50 levels, and you can unlock a new Title after jumping every five levels in the game. The unlocked Titles are never auto-equipped on your profile's visual ID banner, and you will need to change it manually.

Summary. An update for Helldivers 2 increased the level cap to 150, offering new titles to unlock. The horizontal progression system helps players become stronger early on through Stratagem unlocks.

It will not take long for the Helldivers community to tick off these new ranks; Super Private is the highest obtainable. You will need to reach level 150 to unlock the new max-level title, adding 100 extra levels to the previous top tier: Skull Admiral, given to those who had reached level 50.

To earn new ranks in Helldivers 2, you need to level up. There are 22 in total (following the latest increase to the game's level cap), with 20 titles unlockable when you earn enough XP to level up to specific levels. The Super Citizen rank is for those who have purchased the Super Citizen Edition of the game only.

Owners of the "Super" edition can equip their shiny, gold "Super Citizen" status from the get-go. The remaining titles, however, only unlock after every five levels. Upon reaching level 50, though, the remaining titles unlock at intervals of 10.

So it looks like you need at least 500+ hours of gameplay on average (if you know what you're doing) to level up from 1 to 150. Shameless plug. If you want to know how to easily beat bots and bug missions without dying then here's my YT channel showing you how I solo full map clear bots and bugs without dying once.

Specifically, the reference relates to Drill Sergeant Zim, a character who busts himself down to Private so he can help fight in the war. Helldivers 2 has a cheeky nod to this, giving players the title of 'Private' when they hit level 140.

There are plenty of viable weapons to use, but right now the best weapon in Helldivers 2 seems to be the Quasar Cannon. It's incredibly powerful, has infinite ammo, and is highly versatile, being able to take out all sorts of armored targets and structures, making it one of the top picks.

The maximum level cap in Helldivers 2 is 150. This is a significant increase from the previous max level cap of 50, which many players managed to achieve quickly and easily. When Helldivers 2 first came out, the max level was 20, but Arrowhead Game Studios quickly increased it to 50.

Do levels mean anything in Helldivers 2? ›

Your Rank (or Level as it is in-game), like the first game, is a measure of a Helldiver's experience in the field. After gaining the required amount of experience from completing missions across the galaxy, a Helldiver will advance in rank, possibly unlocking new Ship Modules, Stratagem permits and titles.

However, you can't just keep earning Medals in Helldivers 2. In the game, the Medals are capped at 250. Once you reach 250 Medals, you won't be able to earn any more. So if you already have 250 Medals and then start a new mission, they won't be stored anywhere, and as a result, you won't be able to use them.

You can only get the Super Citizen title if you have the Super Citizen Edition. This edition comes with a few armor, guns, and premium Warbond — and Super Citizen status. While not too shabby, most gamers have confirmed that the base game is good enough and you can grind to get the premium Warbond and other items.

Medals in Helldivers 2 are essential for unlocking better armor, weapons, and cosmetics. To earn them, focus on completing Daily Personal Order Challenges, tackling missions on higher difficulties like Suicide Mission, exploring drop ships and containers, and breaking into bunkers with a friend.
