The Localization Confusion Booster in Helldivers 2 is part of the Cutting Edge Warbond. It’ll help you against both the Terminids and the Automatons by essentially giving you more time before the next wave of reinforcements heads your way. Here’s how you can use it effectively.

What does the Localization Confusion booster do 2
The Localization Confusion booster increases the time between enemy encounters in Helldivers 2. Only one booster can be equipped by a player at a time and its effects work on the entire squad during a mission. While the official description is vague, this does make a difference during combat missions. In terms of the actual time increase, players are reporting that you’ll get nearly a whole minute extra before a new wave is summoned.
The booster will come in handy for objectives that require you to hold off enemies for a period of time. For example, try using it against the Automatons when you’re attacking stratagem jammers.
Enemy encounters can slow down your advance toward primary and secondary objectives, especially at higher difficulty levels. So this booster will reduce the number of bug breaches and bot drops you have to deal with. It reduces the frequency at which these occur but killing a lot of enemies will still bring in reinforcements. Enemy patrols are still unaffected. This booster is a good way of taking some pressure off your team. In fact, the general view is that it’s more effective than the Stamina Booster, which was also tested, and only gives an additional eight seconds of sprint time compared to when no booster is equipped.
How to use the Localization Confusion booster
All you need to do is equip it as your booster before kicking off the mission. To do that, look for the hexagon on the n the Hellpod launch screen. It’s next to the stratagems. To get the best out of the booster, consider using it some distance from an objective, then sprinting over to the desired location. This will give you the longest period possible before enemies begin appearing.
