Choosing the Right Patches

The choice of patches you apply to your Helldiver will depend on your playstyle and the specific mission you are facing. Here are some tips for choosing the right patches:

Consider your weapon loadout: Choose patches that complement your weapon loadout. For example, if you are using a sniper rifle, you might want to use patches that increase your accuracy and range.
Match the mission objectives: The patches you choose should also match the objectives of the mission you are about to undertake. For example, if you are going on a stealth mission, you might want to use patches that reduce your noise and visibility.
Experiment and find what works for you: There is no one definitive way to use patches. Experiment with different combinations to find what works best for your playstyle.
