Helldivers 2 SA-7 Headfirst Armor Set – Medium

The Siege Breakers premium Warbond for Helldivers 2 arrives on February 3. Its theme is simple: break through enemy defenses and keep moving forward. Among the new gear, the SA-7 Headfirst armor set stands out as the medium option built for players who want protection without giving up too much speed.

This set is designed for squads that often find themselves pushing into fortified positions. It does not try to turn you into a walking tank. Instead, it gives you enough armor to survive heavy fire while still letting you reposition, flank, and support your team during fast-moving assaults.

Role of the SA-7 Headfirst Set

SA-7 Headfirst sits between light and heavy armor in both look and function. Visually, it still carries the thick plates and reinforced sections you would expect from siege equipment. However, the overall profile is slimmer than the SA-8 Ram heavy armor. This makes it a good fit for players who lead charges, clear corridors, or move between cover while the heavier units draw fire.

In practical terms, the set is meant for frontline fighters who need to stay mobile. You can push into danger, take hits, and keep advancing instead of stopping to recover after every exchange.

For players who want to prepare this kind of frontline role more quickly, some choose to buy Helldivers 2 Medals, Requisition Slips & Super Credits from U4N, while others prefer to earn everything through normal missions; both paths let you build a loadout that matches the SA-7 Headfirst's balance of protection and mobility, depending on how you like to progress.

Supplementary Adrenaline Passive

Both the SA-7 Headfirst and the SA-8 Ram share the same armor passive: Supplementary Adrenaline. This effect restores a portion of your stamina whenever you take damage.

This passive changes how you manage movement in combat. Normally, heavy incoming fire forces players to slow down, hide, and wait for stamina to recover. With Supplementary Adrenaline, taking a hit can actually help you keep running, diving, or repositioning. It supports aggressive play, especially when closing distance on entrenched enemies or retreating under pressure.

For the medium SA-7 set, this passive is especially useful. You already have better mobility than heavy armor, and the stamina return lets you maintain that advantage during long pushes or chaotic firefights.

Fit with Siege Breaker Weapons

The Siege Breakers Warbond focuses on tools made to tear down defenses. Weapons like the LAS-16 Trident, the CQC-20 Breaching Hammer, the GL-28 Belt-Fed Grenade Launcher, and the EAT-411 Leveller are all built for direct, high-impact engagements.

SA-7 Headfirst works well with these weapons because it supports close- to mid-range fighting. You can stay near the front line, absorb some damage, and keep moving while using high-recoil or high-weight equipment. The stamina recovery from the passive helps offset the movement cost of carrying heavy firepower and deploying stratagems under pressure.

The G/SH-39 Shield stratagem also pairs well with this armor. While the shield creates a temporary safe zone, the SA-7 user can step out, fire, and fall back in quickly without being slowed by excessive armor weight.

Capes and Visual Style

The armor set comes with matching capes and player cards. Two notable capes are included:

• Rags of the Fashionable – A pre-tattered cape that suggests long service in previous sieges and sustained combat.
• Wedgeful Tricorn – A cape with a saw-tooth lower edge, visually echoing the idea of cutting and breaking through obstacles.

These cosmetics do not affect gameplay, but they match the identity of the Siege Breakers theme: worn, practical, and focused on direct action.

Who Should Use SA-7 Headfirst

SA-7 Headfirst is best suited for players who:

• Lead pushes into enemy positions.
• Need more protection than light armor but still value speed.
• Use close- and mid-range weapons that require frequent movement.
• Rely on stamina for diving, repositioning, and objective play.

It is a balanced choice for squad leaders, breachers, and mobile damage dealers who cannot afford to be slowed down but also cannot survive with minimal armor.

Summary

The SA-7 Headfirst medium armor set is a practical, purpose-built option within the Siege Breakers Warbond. It offers solid protection, useful stamina recovery through the Supplementary Adrenaline passive, and enough mobility to stay effective during aggressive assaults.

For Helldivers who spend most of their time pushing into fortified zones rather than holding the rear, this set provides a reliable middle ground between speed and durability when the walls need to come down.
