What are Boosters in Helldivers 2?

Boosters are equipable modifiers that function just as the name implies, by boosting you and sometimes even your squad with unique benefits.

In some cases, this might be with extra ammo, in others, perhaps you’d rather be more durable. Each player can equip just one booster, and while some apply to the full team, others are specific to an individual player.
