How to Unlock Boosters in Helldivers 2
Boosters in Helldivers 2 are unlocked by purchasing them with Medals in Warbonds. You can get free Boosters in the free Warbond called Helldivers Mobilize! But you can also purchase more Warbonds for 1,000 credits each, allowing you to buy more Boosters from those Warbonds.
While some Boosters will require paid Warbonds, most of the Boosters are unlocked through the free Warbond and even the paid Warbond Boosters can still be unlocked for free by farming Super Credits. Also, other Helldivers using the paid Warbond Boosters in your mission will give you the benefits for it as well since it gets applied to all Helldivers in the current mission.
How to Equip and Use Boosters in Helldivers 2
Once you unlock Boosters via Warbonds in Helldivers 2, you can equip one Booster per mission during the loadout screen before you dive onto the planet. Hover over the hexagonal slot on the right side of your loadout and then select the Booster from the list of all available Boosters that you have purchased.
