Helldivers 2 Level 5 Ship Modules - How to Get Them and What Are They

A new batch of Ship Upgrades just landed, and everyone is surprised. It’s been a while since the last one, and the majority of players have already unlocked everything there is to unlock. So, let’s see what are all the new Level 5 Ship Modules in Helldivers 2.

The game is in a rough spot. The majority of the player base is gone and only those hardcore Helldivers remain. But, the devs continue to support the game in any way they can. And, on July 4, a new update dropped along with the new, fifth Level for your Ship Modules, and they look awesome.

How to Get Level 5 Ship Modules in Helldivers 2

As with every Ship Upgrade, you can unlock these ones in your Ship Management Terminal, in the Ship Modules tab. Naturally, they cost Requisition and Samples, and you will need a lot of Samples for them. Moreover, to unlock the Level 5 upgrade, you need to have the corresponding Level 4 upgrade already unlocked.

Cost of Level 5 Ship Modules

The new Ship Modules cost 200 or 250 Common, 200 or 250 Rare, 20, 25, or 30 Super Uranium Samples, and 30.000 or 35.000 Requisition, depending on the upgrade.

Helldivers 2: Level 5 Ship Modules Effects

The latest upgrades offer some very powerful bonuses, and veteran Helldivers should do their best to unlock them all.

Payroll Management System (Patriotic Administration Center)

The first new upgrade reduces the reload time of all Support Weapons by 10%. This upgrade will greatly benefit players who like to use Machine Guns, Heavy Machine Guns, Spear and Autocannon. Sadly, it does not shorten the cooling period for Quasar Cannon.

High-Density Explosives (Orbital Cannons)

The fifth upgrade for your Orbitals increases the explosion radius for your Orbitals that, well, explode. This is especially great for the Orbital Precision Stike and the big 380mm HE Barrage. Unfortunately, it does not affect the Orbital Railcannon nor Orbital Laser.

Advanced Crew Training (Hangar)

Eagle upgrade Level 5 reduces the Rearm time by 10% if there are any Eagle uses remaining. This upgrade especially benefits those Helldivers who like to have multiple Eagle Stratagems equipped.

Morale Augmentation (Bridge)

A candidate for the best Level 5 upgrade, Morale Augmentation reduces the cooldown of ALL Stratagems by 5%. This upgrade will benefit every possible build, so you better unlock it ASAP.

Streamlined Launch Process (Engineering Bay)

The penultimate Level 5 upgrade eliminates the call-in time for all Support Weapons, making them drop almost instantly when called. A little situational, but a game-changer in squads that use a lot of EATs.

Cross-Platform Compatibility (Robotics Bay)

Another contender for the best Level 5 Upgrade, Cross-Platform Compatibility will make your Sentries focus on the target that you mark. Never again will your anti-tank Sentries waste their shots on chaff, or Gatling Sentries use up all ammo on Chargers. You only have to be there to direct their fire.
