Heavy Armor

Helps protect against damage with the trade-off of slower movement.

Unlock Requirement
Heavy Armor unlocks at rank 8 (Cadet).

Gameplay Tips

 * Heavy Armor will let Helldivers survive some otherwise mortal wounds, such as being stabbed with a bayonet or even a direct IFV shot.


 * Wearing Heavy Armor reduces the running speed of Helldivers, but does not affect walk speed. Thus, in rough terrain such as Snow or Swamps where running is impossible without All-Terrain Boots, wearing this armor incurs no additional movement penalty.
