If you are going to face the Terminid horde or the ruthless Automatons in Helldivers 2, you will need some good armor. There are three types of armor, each with its own armor rating, stamina regen, etc. But there is a bug that puts all armor to the default armor rating, and players have been complaining about it since day 1.
Is There A Fix For The Armor Bug In Helldivers 2?
No, you can’t fix the Helldivers 2 armor bug as it is a result of an error in the game files. It can only be fixed when the developers at Arrowhead Studios push out an update specifically targeting this issue. As of writing this article, it has not been fixed yet.
The bug has to do with the Armor rating shown in the stats for each armor. Medium armor has a base of 100 armor rating, Light armor has 75, and Heavy armor has 144. But due to this bug, all armor actually comes with the default 100 Armor rating despite showing different values in-game.

As a result, the Light armor attires are currently the most powerful as they give you a buff in stamina and stamina regen. Its lower armor rating isn’t working, so it has a 100 armor rating which is the same as Medium armor.
Similarly, you should not use Heavy armor right now because its biggest advantage is the higher Armor rating which won’t be applied due to the bug. Instead, you will only face the downsides of reduced stamina with the Heavy armor.
