Recommended settings
Upscaling — XeSSBalanced+55% FPS
Lowering the render scale is the biggest FPS lever in Helldivers 2 — the game is demanding and benefits a lot from it.
Screen-Space Global IlluminationOff+10% FPS
Bounced ambient lighting. Heavy — turning it Off is one of the best FPS saves.
Shadow QualityMedium+5% FPS
Shadow resolution and range. Medium/High frees real performance on busy planets.
Ambient OcclusionOff+5% FPS
Soft contact shadows. Cheap; turn Off for a small gain.
Volumetric Fog / CloudsMedium+4% FPS
Atmospheric fog and smoke. Costly during dropships and bombardments.
Particle QualityMedium+4% FPS
Explosions and stratagem effects — and Helldivers 2 throws a LOT of them. Lowering smooths the chaos.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness — cheap if it fits your VRAM.
Render DistanceHighbaseline
How far the world renders at full detail. Keep reasonably high to spot distant enemies.
Reflection QualityHighbaseline
Surface reflections. Rarely the focus in frantic firefights.
Lighting QualityHighbaseline
Overall lighting fidelity. Medium is a strong high-FPS choice.
Screen-Space ShadowsOnbaseline
Fine contact shadows. Cheap; Off gains a few frames.
Anti-AliasingTAAbaseline
Edge smoothing. TAA is clean; SMAA is sharper and a touch lighter.
Bloom / Motion Blur / DoFOnbaseline
Post-processing effects bundle. Nearly free; set to taste.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps ground textures sharp at angles - effectively free, use 16x.
