Helldivers II: How to Get and Use Boosters
Before you start every mission in Helldivers II, you’ll have to take a moment to select four stratagems to equip for your next series of tasks. Each one goes in a square slot at the bottom of the screen, but what about the fifth slot? Well, it turns out that the hexagon has its own unique purpose. Furthermore, once you realize how to fill it with a booster, you’re going to have another advantage that helps you to stand out from the pack in this competitive squad shooter.

The first thing you’re probably wondering is how to get your grubby mitts on one of those boosters for yourself. Well, it turns out that the answer to that is simple enough once you’ve made a certain amount of progress in the game. In fact, once you’ve spent enough War Bonds to unlock the third page of the game’s battle pass, you’re ready to get cracking.
On page 3, you’ll notice that there is an unlockable option called Hellpod Space Optimization. That’s the first booster that you can unlock, but there are several more that you’ll eventually acquire as well. We’ll list them in order, as well as their functions, below.
Finally, as for how to equip them, you do so the same way as stratagems with a couple of small caveats. First of all, some missions won’t allow you to equip them for some reason. Secondly, you often won’t be able to use them if you’re joining a mission in progress. Otherwise, though, pick your poison and get back to bombing fuel silos and fighting robots with the best of ’em.
