How to Use Boosters in Helldivers 2
In Helldivers 2, there are two methods for equipping Boosters. Firstly, you can equip them in the armory on your ship at any time by accessing the tab marked 'Booster.'
Alternatively, you have the option to equip your Booster while organizing your Stratagems on the pre-mission Hellpod screen. It's crucial to remember that the effects of Boosters do not stack. Therefore, the second option is better, as it allows you to see which Boosters your squad members are using, ensuring that there's no overlap.
