Helldivers 2 ranks explained: All ranks and how to get them
What's your title?
The Helldivers 2 ranks will let other players know just how powerful you are, and serve as titles for the army fighting against the Terminids and Automatons.
Where do you rank? That depends on what level you have reached.
To earn new ranks in Helldivers 2, you need to level up. There are 22 in total (following the latest increase to the game’s level cap), with 20 titles unlockable when you earn enough XP to level up to specific levels.
The Super Citizen rank is for those who have purchased the Super Citizen Edition of the game only. Everyone starts at the Cadet rank at level 1.
Read on for the full list of Helldivers 2 ranks and to discover how to get them.
