Helldivers 2: Muscle Enhancement Booster Explained

In Helldivers 2, there are many ways to increase your chances of success, whether it be using the correct Stratagems, a good combination of primary and secondary weapons, or simply having all of the Ship Module upgrades unlocked. Playing well is obviously recommended, but all of these factors together can make even the hardest missions a lot more manageable. One of the most underrated of these choices is which Booster you are going to bring to the mission, with many of them having game-changing bonuses that can make your life a lot easier.

One of the issues with these Boosters is that the game does not provide a very detailed description of how they actually work. In this article, we are going to take a look at the Muscle Enhancement Booster, what bonuses it provides, and when you should be using it in Helldivers 2.

Helldivers 2: Muscle Enhancement Booster Explained

Choosing the Muscle Enhancement Booster will allow you to move a lot faster through difficult terrain. This includes any type of default terrain that is native to the planet, including mud, snow, shallow water and sand. Aside from these inconveniences, you are also able to move a lot faster uphill and while there is no indication of this on the description, you are also slowed for a lot less when you are hit by Hunters and Bile Spewers. This Booster is really strong against the Terminid faction, as being able to stay mobile will allow you to avoid being overrun by many of the fast-moving enemy types.

We also recommend using the Booster on regions which are prone to having difficult terrain, such as frozen and desert planets. While you don't need as much mobility against the Automaton faction, it will still allow you to quickly reposition if you start being overrun by Bot Drops, or when you need to quickly reach a Stratagem Jammer or Sensor Tower. You can avoid bringing the Muscle Enhancement Booster on defense missions, as you are going to holding your ground for the most part.

That is everything you need to know about the Muscle Enhancement Booster in Helldivers 2. As one of the more underrated choices, we highly recommend giving this Booster a try, especially during longer missions on Terminid planets.
