Wondering how to heal other players in Helldivers 2? The co-op shooter places you and your squad against endless hordes of bugs and robots, so you’re bound to lose HP at one point or another. In these cases, healing will be necessary, so check out how to do it.
How to Heal Other Players in Helldivers 2
To heal other players in Helldivers 2, you can use tactical items like Bubble Shields or Stims.
Stims are the most common healing item in the game, and you’ll often use them on yourself. That said, one of the trophies in Helldivers 2, ‘Democracy Ain’t Done With You Yet,’ tasks you with healing another player using stims.
To do so, you need to collect stims by calling in resupply Stratagems. You do start off a mission with a fixed amount of stims in your inventory, but these can deplete fairly quickly during tense battles. Collect those extra stims from the resupply Stratagem, and you can think about healing others.
While you press up on the DualSense D-pad to heal yourself, it’s different to heal others. To heal a friend, approach them when their health is critical, and you’ll see a button prompt appear on them (it will be the Use button/key). If they are mostly fine, you won’t get this option; they have to be at very low health.
Not only will this net you a trophy for healing a teammate, but it’ll ensure they’re ready to dive back into the fight.
Alternatively, you can heal other players with tactical items like Bubble Shields. These are throwable cover items that create a transparent shield. This works simultaneously as cover to hide from oncoming hordes, but also passively increases the HP of anybody sat within it. This is an ideal alternative if you’ve already got the Helldivers 2 healing trophy.
