The P-92 Warrant is one of the most unique sidearms in Helldivers 2, offering a futuristic twist on traditional pistols. Instead of relying solely on pinpoint accuracy, this pistol comes equipped with guided, jet-propelled rounds that lock onto targets. For players looking to expand their arsenal with something versatile and stylish, here’s everything you need to know about unlocking and using the Warrant.
How to Unlock the P-92 Warrant
The Warrant is obtained from the Superstore during the Force of Law rotation for 300 Super Credits. If it’s not in your store today, it will cycle back in future rotations—so keep an eye out. It’s a standalone Superstore item, not tied to a Warbond track.
Super Credit tips:
- Farm in-game: Run Trivial missions, rush the objective to unlock extraction, then sweep Minor Points of Interest for Super Credits before extracting. This loop is fast because maps are smaller, enemies are weaker, and looting is quicker on Trivial difficulty.
- Buy SC: You can purchase Super Credits directly if you’d rather skip the grind.
P-92 Warrant: Modes & Core Mechanics
The pistol has two modes that you can switch at any time:
- Guided Mode — Aim down sights until the reticle turns green to lock on, then fire. There is no hip-fire in Guided, and the gun will not fire without a valid lock.
- Non-Guided Mode — Fires like a normal burst-pistol with no lock requirement. You can swap between modes by holding the reload button, which is useful when the fight shifts from long lanes to close quarters.
A lock can be maintained out to roughly 60 meters, and the gyrojet rounds can curve up to about 40° toward the target. This makes it possible to track evasive enemies or even land hits past partial cover. Locks break if you stop aiming, lose line-of-sight, or the target dies.
Guided mode won’t lock Heavy-class or larger enemies, so you’ll need to flip to Non-Guided or rely on a heavier weapon for those. At very close range (15 meters or less), the homing system has little time to engage, so it’s better to aim directly or switch to Non-Guided mode for faster shots.
Stats Snapshot
- Damage: 80 (Ballistic)
- Fire Rate: 450 RPM
- Magazine: 13
- Penetration: Medium Armor (AP3)
- Reload: ~1.15 s (tactical ~1.75 s)
- Spare Magazines: 7–8
- Traits: Guided, One-Handed, Medium Armor Penetrating
The pistol is set to a 3-round burst by default, but single-tapping the trigger yields accurate single shots, making ammo management easier. Another detail to note is the flip-up sight: it appears when Guided mode is active and flips down when using Non-Guided mode, giving a quick visual indicator of your current firing state.
Best Use-Cases & Limitations
Where it shines
- Excellent at eliminating agile targets such as Shriekers, Hunters, and Elevated Overseers.
- Homing rounds make ranged clean-up efficient and reduce wasted ammo.
- The lock-on system can “ping” enemies through fog or obstructed weather while aiming.
Where it struggles
- Less effective against heavily armored enemies like Chargers or tanks.
- Not ideal in point-blank encounters where lock-time slows down your shot.
Is the P-92 Warrant Worth 300 Super Credits?
At 300 Super Credits, the Warrant is a premium purchase. New players may find more value in saving for Warbonds or other utility weapons first. However, for those with credits to spare, it offers a unique and practical secondary option. The Warrant is especially useful for squads that regularly face fast-moving threats, as it keeps the battlefield clear while letting your primary weapon focus on bigger dangers.
