Six new ship upgrades are now in the Playstation 5 and PC third-person shooter, one for each section of the ship module.

Helldivers 2 new ship modules:

• Superior Packing Methodology: Resupply boxes refill support weapons with the maximum number of carriable magazines.
• Atmospheric Monitoring: Orbital HE barrage spread reduced by 15%.
• XXL Weapons Bay: Eagle stratagems that drop multiple ****** will drop one additional *****(s).
• Enhanced Combustion: ***** damage from stratagems increased by 25%.
• Circuit Expansion: Lightning arcs, fired from weapons and turrets, jump to one additional ******.
• Blast Absorption: Sentries take 50% less damage from explosions.

Let’s dig into the details here and offer some initial thoughts. 15% less spread on barrages may convince some players to give them another shot (they’re considered weak in the current meta because they’re not focused). Superior Packing Methodology may end up essential for players who use the Recoilless and Spear support weapons. And Enhanced Combustion is going to cause all sorts of chaos with the already buffed flamethrower. Circuit Expansion looks like it could be fun, too.

These new ship upgrades require the previous upgrade in each module to already be unlocked before you can buy them with samples, so only pliers who have mixed out their ship upgrades and have plenty of samples on hand will be able to test these out straight away. For everyone else, the grind continues.
