Helldivers 2 Secondary Weapons Tier List

Helldivers 2 tier list for the best secondary weapons to use against the Illuminate, Terminids, and Automatons for both solo and group play.

The starter pistol, also known as the Peacemaker, is a “last resort” weapon meant for those moments when your Primary or Support Weapon runs out of ammo, you’re cornered, and your only choice is to fire at the enemy with whatever you have left.

However, secondaries like the Talon and Senator perform exceptionally well against most enemies, even surpassing some Primary weapons in capabilities. Some secondary weapons provide more utility beyond just killing power, like the Grenade Pistol, which is highly effective at destroying Fabricators and Bug Holes.
