Yep, that's it.

Battle pass unlocks them

Guns are unlocked from the Warbonds with medals.

Equip them from your armoury or when selecting your gear before you dive.

I think the equivalent of 'upgrades' would be the warbond variants of guns. Like the Liberator has explosive shells in the premium warbond.

As of today, the Devs have not released weapon upgrades. You can "modify" some of the primary weapons once you have landed planet-side by holding in the RELOAD button and switching your flashlight on permanently and changing your firing modes. It is 100% True that even the Premium Warbond weapon unlocks are subpar and the standard Liberator and standard Breaker will out DPS them entirely. The explosive and incendiary rounds come under-powered since they have an elemental effect and also come with less magazines, making anyone considering them think twice as you will be taking up more of your Team's resupply drops for yourself. The Penetrator Liberator gets a bit more love. It has less power than the standard liberator but comes with three perks. The ability to melt through medium armor and the ability to switch to a long range scope while using burst fire or semi fire. It also comes with 10 magazines helping to offset the lower initial damage.

Other than that, Heavy and Medium Armor at the moment are also underwhelming, with Light Armor being the king of the pack. Heavy armor reduces your stamina regen and run speed so significantly, you are basically a liability. Light armor can still take a good hit, and with the shield backpack strategem, will see you through Helldiver difficulty. Your stamina will regen faster and you will be faster on your feet. Always try to look for armor that gives you +2 stims / +2 grenades, etc. Those are the unique and viable armors that enable you to stay alive or take out more enemy spawners.

They teased the exosuit, and the game just came out.

Probably in a future update maybe?

god damn.. they MUST implement this, its almost a dealbreaker for me

No weapon upgrades as of right now. I'm hoping they let us do something like change the sights, or add laser dots on the barrel or a flashlight if the weapon doesn't have one, but I'm not sure how I feel about straight upgrades like more damage or extra mag capacity as that changes the balance of weapons (I didn't play HD1 so don't know how it worked there)

Thanks for the responses guys, I appreciate you guys sparing me the trouble! Maybe if we kill enough automatons, Joel will change his diabolical ways and bless us with some fun new perks. Spill oil, fellas

Not yet hopefully soon

Not yet, but leaks seem to suggest it’s coming.

Unfortunately not.

Dlc weapons are only from buying the dlcs

No, the DLC equipment can only be unlocked by buying them.

If you mean how to unlock more than just the starter stuff, you get some by leveling up and you get more by completing planets.

>Can i get them any other way?

No.

The DLC weapons are side-grades of what you will unlock while leveling, with the "meta" guns being unlocked with levels

Good:

• Punisher
• Breaker Incendiary
• Dominator
• Diligence Counter Sniper
• Adjudicator
• Tenderiser
• Liberator Carabine
• Defender
• Pummeler
• Scorcher
• Punisher Plasma
• Blitzer
• Breaker
• Sickle
• Crossbow (niche)
• Eruptor (niche)
• Senator
• Grenade Pistol
• Redeemer
• Verdict
• BushWacker

Decent:

• Liberator
• Diligence
• Spray & Pray
• Slugger
• Scythe
• Pacemaker
• Dagger

"Bad":

• Liberator Concussive
• Liberator Penetrator
• Purifier
• Knight

Personally I feel like its burst DPS is too high and magazine too small, so it absolutely melts part of a patrol and leaves me on reload for the rest.  

YMMV as I've always liked more powerful slower firing weapons. I also don't care for the new carbine (that doesn't mean it's "bad").

What you will usually see it Dominator or Scorcher on bots and Sickle or Incendiary breaker on bugs.

Most weapons however are viable, but this is the general pattern.

The good weapons are the ones you enjoy playing, friend. Go try em and see what sticks with you.

Yes the plasma purifier slaps

I would love for the backpack call-in time to match the weapon call-in time. It's lame getting my support weapon instantly and then sitting there like a goober for another 10 seconds waiting on the pack. But tbh, interested in anything new to spend samples on.

Things I want:

Integration of drones and other sentries with helldiver optics(to compliment the motar one)

Detonation of remaining ammunition for explosive sentries upon destruction

Best I can do is 2% faster Hellpod landing speed costs 350 Common/280 Rare/62 Super Samples - AH

A vehicle bay would be perfect.

We just need more vehicles.

And more names. Still hoping to get “of Vengeance” as a suffix

Played a ton yesterday. The weapon customization was such a welcome surprise and makes the game feel significantly more complete in a way I find hard to quantify.

Lots of weapons that didn't feel good now feel excellent, or can be made to feel excellent with a mod or two; and the Wasp went from killing me all the time to only killing me (or teammates) when I (they) mostly deserve it which is a HUGE improvement. I love the changes to the super-store so can't wait for those to get pushed live.

Great update, 10/10.

any word on if strat weapons can be modded? like the mg43 or the stalwart?

I was wondering the same thing

Do note that collab weapons are not customizable.

That said, Killzone weapons are effectively extended mag liberators/defenders with higher ROF.

Must be bugged, the patch notes said they got rid of the rotation

I just checked the store and I still only have three sets available

Honor is yours my fellow comerad
