Helldivers 2gives you several ways to express yourself. You can get hold of a microphone to speak via thebuilt-in voice chat, let your weapons and explosions do the talking for you, use interactive emotes with your teammates, or perform victory poses during the post-match screen. Unless you fail to extract from a mission, you will always be welcomed back as a hero aboard the Super Destroy. This is where each player automatically takes a victory pose for the cameras, and you can choose which pose to take every time.
Helldivers 2features over two dozen unique victory poses at the time of writing. Besides the Salute, which is available for free, you must unlock all the rest by progressing through each Warbond. This can be a pretty long grind, especially if you playlower-difficulty missions inHelldivers 2. You can cut down that grind by knowing beforehand which victory poses are the best. While you should only buy Warbonds that offer the most value in terms of weapons and armor, flexing over your teammates with the perfect victory pose can sometimes take priority.
Boxer
Claimed From Democratic Detonation
Democratic Detonation might not be one of thebest Warbonds to buy inHelldivers 2, but it does come with awesome victory poses.Boxersees you taking a boxing stance while taking a few jabs in the air. Remember that it is not about how hard you can hit, but how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. Use that tofuel your fighting spiritbefore entering the hellpods for the next mission.

Courtly Bow
Courtly Bowis another excellent victory pose from the Democratic Detonation Warbond to add to your collection. It lets you show grace and elegance by taking a bow. While yourfriends and team membersmight be pulling off all sorts of antics, you will flip your cape to accept the victory as a gentleman.

Finger Guns
Claimed From Helldivers Mobilize
One of the best victory poses inHelldivers 2is also the first one you unlock. You use both your fingers and thumbs as pistols to fire multiple rounds in a rather comical fashion. Finger Guns may become a bit annoying since you will be using them for dozens of hours whileleveling up inHelldivers 2. They are, however, perfect for players who were trolling around in missions while their team members were doing the heavy lifting.
Guns of Liberty
Claimed From Viper Commandos
Helldivers 2features avast armory of weapons, but not one is as good as theGuns of Libertyto flex on your enemies. You kneel before curling both arms to show off your biceps in a traditional bodybuilding pose. In addition to being a thematic reference toArnold Schwarzenegger’s Predator and Commando movies, this is also one of the few victory poses inHelldivers 2that lets you show off your cape. Remember to take either of the two front positions to ensure another player is not blocking your pose.
Mime Instrumentation
Claimed From Polar Patriots
Helldivers 2features an amazing soundtrack. With such a quality composition backing thebeautiful environmentsand action-packed combat, you cannot help but feel your adrenaline rise during missions. Hence, playing an air guitar with theMime Instrumentationpose blends perfectly with the victory celebrations.
Shotgun Show
Claimed From Cutting Edge
Since one of thebest weapons inHelldivers 2is a shotgun, feel free to fire off a couple of shots to celebrate your victory.Shotgun Show, as the name suggests, sees you aiming and firing a make-believe shotgun in two directions. It looks better than it sounds.
Squat
Coincidentally, the Democratic Detonation Warbond has another victory pose that makes the cut.Squatmight appear a rather underwhelming pose at first, but most players are unaware that it features the most variations among all victory poses. You squat down to do one of five poses inHelldivers 2, including one where you pose as a thinker and another that sees youposing like a Power Ranger.

Super Person
Claimed From Steeled Veterans
Nothing says you are a proud champion of Super Earth than theSuper Personvictory pose. You put your hands on your hips, your nose high in the air, and your chest out while basking in the glory of a successful mission. You even nod your head in acceptance in one of the variations, suggesting you deserve all the praise. Either that or you are just gloating over your high kill count.
4
You’re Next
If you are looking for a way to send a message toall the enemies inHelldivers 2, look no further than theYou’re Nextvictory pose. You use your thumb as a knife in a threatening gesture, suggesting that the next Terminid or Automaton to cross paths will get their throats cut. Sounds gruesome? It is. The victory pose even works against your team members should they be having a bit too muchfun with friendly fireor ignoring secondary objectives.

How to Change Victory Poses in Helldivers 2
You can only change your victory poses while aboard the Super Destroyer. Head over to the bridge and interact with the Armory, the section where you can see several weapons lined up on a wall alongside a mannequin. Cycle through to the Character tab in the menu and choose Victory Pose. This will show all the victory poses you have unlocked inHelldivers 2. You can also see their preview by clicking on them. Equip whichever you find best and exit.
You have to play a mission to save your victory pose. If you exit the game from the Armory, you will still have the old victory pose equipped the next time you launchHelldivers 2. This is the same for weapons and armor as well. Hence, customize your character and jump into a mission to save your settings.
