Helldivers 2: How Does the Vitality Enhancement Booster Work?

Starting a new mission in Helldivers 2 is always a little stressful, as the number of different choices you can make is quite honestly overwhelming. Between primary and secondary weapons, armor sets with different perks, and the four different Stratagems that you can bring, there are a lot of options for you to go through before you find the perfect loadout. On top of all of this, you also have to choose between a wide variety of different Boosters, which depending on the mission type, can greatly increase your chances of success.

There are many different Boosters available in Helldivers 2, but unfortunately, most of them have vague descriptions and it can be hard to tell what kind of bonuses they actually provide. In this article, we are going to explain how the Vitality Enhancement Booster works so you can decide whether or not you should be bringing it on your next mission.

Helldivers 2: Vitality Enhancement Booster Explained

The Vitality Enhancement Booster's description reads that it "allows Helldivers to resist injury," and while that is technically the case, it does not really explain much. Currently in Helldivers 2, there are a few different injuries that you can sustain, either by falling from heights or by getting hit by enemies or explosions. Injuring your legs will reduce your walking and sprinting speed, injuring your arms will make it harder to handle weapons and throw grenades, and injuring your torso and head will make you bleed out and stop you from regenerating stamina respectively.

By using the Vitality Enhancement Booster, you will become a lot more resistant to these injuries, requiring a higher threshold of damage to be done before you sustain them. This also adds a surprising twist, as one Reddit user by the name of ghoxen figured out that the Booster will generally increase your total health value by about 30%. All of these factors combined make the Vitality Enhancement Booster one of the best choices in any situation.

Combining the Vitality Enhancement Booster with some Medium or Heavy armor, or the Med-Kit perk, can make you very tanky and will allow you to make better use of some close-range weapons and Stratagems, such as any of the Shotguns or something like the Flamethrower. Make sure to try out the Booster yourself, as it is one of the cheaper options, being available on the fourth page of the free Helldivers Mobilize Warbond.

That is everything you need to know about the Vitality Enhancement Booster in Helldivers 2. While the game does not provide an exact description of how the Booster works, after a ton of testing by the community, we can safely say that it's one of the best options in the game.
