This is Why I Think LIGHT ARMOR is S-TIER in Helldivers 2 After 700 Hours
2LIGHT ARMOR is NOT weak. It’s misunderstood.
In Helldivers 2, most players think Light Armor is only good for speedruns or meme loadouts… but the truth is, this armor type is one of the strongest tactical tools in the entire game.
ST6 (my squad) runs Light Armor almost every mission — and we’ve evolved into true hit-and-run Spec Ops because of it.
In this video I break down:
00:02 ST6 LIGHT ARMOR BREAKDOWN
01:05 WHAT THE NUMBERS ACTUALLY SAY
01:36 WHY DISTANCE IS KEY
02:23 WHERE LIGHT ARMOR IS S-TIER
03:20 WHERE LIGHT ARMOR ISN’T IDEAL
04:07 WHY ST6 RUNS LIGHT ARMOR
• Real numbers on Light Armor
• Why distance control is META
• Real game examples of Light Armor dominance
• When Light Armor is NOT ideal
• Why ST6 uses Light Armor every chance we get
If you learn to use Light Armor the way it was designed — you will stop taking hits… because the enemy will never even get the chance to land them.
Helldivers win with objectives. Not tanking.
Become untouchable.
Become surgical.
Become fast.
ST6 out.
