The Helldivers 2 level cap is very high, letting you unlock some silly titles to show off your rank, but some of the Warbonds have exclusive titles too. Starting as a lowly Cadet, earning XP will help you ascend the ranks in Helldivers 2, all the way up to Skull Admiral, Hell Commander, and finally, the superior Super Private. Taking on the name of one of the lowest ranks after reaching General to keep fighting? Now that's a fine Super Earth soldier. Below, I’ve explained everything you need to know about the level cap in Helldivers 2, as well as how you unlock every title in the game.

Helldivers 2 level cap

The Helldivers 2 level cap is 150, tripling the previous cap of 50. Unfortunately, an increase to the level cap is quite meaningless as all Stratagems – the only things with level requirements – are unlocked by level 25, with Helldivers 2 Mechs being the final ones to get (for now). However, these 100 extra levels do let you earn 10 more ridiculous titles.
