Creating a loadout in Helldivers 2 is very much a personal thing, whether you prefer to carry an Assault Rifle, Shotgun, or SMG, what Stratagems you enjoy using, and what Booster you want to give perks to your team. But, sometimes it is best to use a meta loadout to ensure a greater chance at success, which can mean choosing the correct Boosters. However, one Booster, the Hellpod Space Optimization, is often used by at least one player as it gives players a full loadout. This can mean that important Boosters get overlooked, and now players want it to just be made a permanent perk in the game.
U/dzeruel took to Reddit to make a much-needed suggestion that the Hellpod Space Optimization Booster should just be added to Helldivers 2 as a Ship Module that players can permanently unlock. Many players choose this Booster over others, especially when playing solo, as it makes sense to spawn into the mission with a fully stocked loadout. Also, why do we not have a full loadout anyway?
“The problem is that it takes away from gameplay variety. There are other so much more interesting boosters but this this has to take a slot all the time… I cannot image the team landing with 2~3 mags every time instead of 5,” they said.
U/CameraOpposite3124 replied stating that they were “surprised Arrowhead or the community hasn’t come down on this yet. It’s literally just a better idea to always let Divers come in with full ammo to open up more options for the other boosters no one ever chooses because Stamina and Hellpod optimization are required.”
While U/flashmedallion noted that “once you get in the habit of operating without it it’s really nothing close to the must-have that people like to act it is. The pickup population in the maps is balanced around not having it. You call a resupply as soon as you land and with later reinforcements if you need all 4 grenades and stims as you step out of the pod then you have more fundamental problems that a full kit isn’t really going to solve.”
Choosing the right Boosters can be the difference between success and failure, and having access to more without having to give up one choice for Hellpod Space Optimization would improve the gameplay experience. With the latest Major Order calling to “split the Automatons forces in two,” optimizing your loadout is crucial to ensuring the robot army can’t advance and gain a stronghold in the Galactic War. To do this, we highly recommend checking out our Helldivers 2 best weapons guide and best armor guide.
