Helldivers 2Donation Access License Helldivers 2: How to Get and Use It
Last checked: August 2026. This page targets donation access license helldivers 2, HD2 donation license, and how to get donation access license searches.
The Donation Access License (DAL) is a Tier 1 ship module at the Patriotic Administration Center — not a Warbond or Medal shop item. It makes Support Weapons deploy with full spare magazines instead of the default half loadout.
Quick Answer
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Location | Ship Management → Patriotic Administration Center → Tier 1 |
| Cost | 60 Common Samples (green) |
| Effect | Support Weapons arrive with maximum carriable magazines |
| Without DAL | Support weapons deploy with 50% spare ammo |
What the Donation Access License Unlocks
Without this module, every Support Weapon stratagem lands with half magazines. With DAL, affected weapons get their full reload count on drop — for example Railgun 10 → 20 rounds, Heavy Machine Gun 1 → 2 belts, Flamethrower 3 → 5 tanks.
Affected stratagems include Machine Gun, Stalwart, Anti-Materiel Rifle, Flamethrower, Heavy Machine Gun, Railgun, Grenade Launcher, Laser Cannon, and several newer support weapons.
DAL is also the prerequisite for the Streamlined Request Process ship module (10% faster Support Weapon cooldowns).
How to Get It Fast
- Unlock the Patriotic Administration Center on your ship (standard early progression).
- Farm Common Samples on Terminid or Automaton planets — retrieve and exterminate missions with sample boost modifiers are fastest.
- Buy DAL before cosmetic capes if you run Support Weapons regularly.
- Check the terminal — if greyed out, you may need the PAC branch unlocked first.
Is DAL Worth It?
Yes for most squads that lean on Support Weapons (Railgun, Stalwart, AMR). Skip only if you never call support stratagems. DAL is permanent — one purchase, every future run benefits.
For broader loadout priorities, see the Helldivers 2 tier list and Warbond tier list.
Common Mistakes
- Confusing DAL with a Warbond purchase (it is a ship module, paid in Samples)
- Buying duplicate primaries before DAL when you main Support Weapons
- Forgetting DAL only affects Support Weapon stratagems, not backpacks or orbital strikes
