Helldivers 2 SMG-203 Gallant

The SMG-203 Gallant is a high-performance submachine gun introduced in the Exo Experts Premium Warbond. It is lore-described as the "older brother" to the MP-98 Knight, trading sustained fire for raw stopping power.

Not forgetting our ground troops! We have the SMG-203 Gallant, a submachine gun with a high rate of fire, this is the MP-98 Knight’s older brother, sacrificing clip size for increased penetration. Finally to round out your kit, try the new P-33 Missile Pistol utilising the latest in guided, heat-propelled rounds and a lock-on feature. Proven to hit its target 60% of the time, every time.

Key Features

• Medium Armor Penetration: Unlike most SMGs, the Gallant is built to punch through tougher defenses, making it effective against Hive Guards and Scout Striders.
• High Rate of Fire: It retains the blistering speed of the Knight, allowing you to delete close-range threats in seconds.
• Magazine Trade-off: To balance its increased penetration and power, it has a smaller magazine size. You’ll need to be disciplined with your trigger finger or rely on frequent reloads.

Tactical Tips

• The "Eject" Weapon: This is the perfect primary for an Exosuit pilot. If your EXO-51 Lumberer goes down, the Gallant provides enough punch to clear a path through medium-armored enemies so you can retreat.
• One-Handed Utility: Like all SMGs, you can fire the Gallant while carrying objective items (like SSSD drives) or while retreating and firing backward.
• Synergy: Pair this with the Supply Pack to offset the small magazine size, or use it alongside the EXO-55 Breakthrough to finish off targets that survive your flak cannon blasts.

Pro-Tip: Switch to semi-auto or burst mode for long-range encounters to conserve ammo, saving the full-auto "Bullet Storm" for when bugs or bots get in your face.

The SMG-203 Gallant is a fantastic choice for those looking to increase their firepower in Helldivers 2.
