Do you fancy yourself as just an average Joe or Jane, not exactly a superhero, but still itching to make a mark in the fight for Super Earth? Well, if you’ve got dreams of joining the elite ranks of the Helldivers in Helldivers 2, then you’re in luck! Because this guide, crafted by yours truly, sweet Liberty, is tailor-made just for you!
Step 1: Missions
So, when you’re gearing up for some serious farming action, your first step is to seek out those Eradicate missions.
This method not only yields some hefty rewards but is also a prime technique for racking up those precious Medals.
Now, let’s break it down by faction:
- Eradicate Terminid Swarm
- Eradicate Automaton Forces
If you’re leaning towards the Automaton eradication missions, you’re in for a treat—they tend to be quicker to complete, and the maps are usually more compact.
Once you’ve pinpointed an Eradication mission, opt for the highest difficulty available or the one where you feel most at ease or can zip through the fastest. Then, it’s all about repeating these missions in a continuous loop.
Step 2: Loadout
In these missions, my go-to setup typically includes the Rocket Sentry, Gatling Sentry, Autocannon Sentry, and Mortar Sentry.
With this setup, my aim is to handle the bulk of the small to medium targets, while I rely on my teammates to tackle the bigger threats.
Now, it’s worth noting that while this strategy works like a charm against most Terminids, it’s not exactly optimal against Automatons. The Gatling Sentry tends to struggle against their armor, often running out of ammo before making a significant dent. So, for Automatons, I recommend switching things up a bit.
For Automatons
You can opt for the Tesla tower or the Anti-Personnel minefield stratagem, placing them strategically in choke points to fend off the rushing units. Alternatively, consider swapping out for a different stratagem altogether, like the Railgun, which can take down Automatons in just a few shots or disable them by targeting their limbs.
For Terminids
Now, when it comes to dealing with those pesky Terminids, you’ve got a bit more flexibility. Equip yourself with Orbitals and Eagles to swiftly disperse large swarms of them. For Titans and Chargers, I swear by the Railcannon orbital paired with the Railgun combo—it’s a surefire way to take them down while leaving the rest for the sentries to handle.
Don’t forget about the HMG Emplacement. Toss it in a strategic corner or atop a hill where it has a clear line of sight. This little trick can be a game-changer, especially in those nail-biting final moments when your sentries are either down for the count or running low on ammo.
Step 3: Closing thoughts
While tackling these missions solo is doable, teaming up can significantly ramp up the efficiency. Communication is key—assign different members of your squad to run varied stratagems to cover all bases. This way, if your sentries run dry, you’ve got backup plans in place, ensuring a smooth farming experience.
Now, let’s talk weapons. As long as you’re not wielding something that’s about as effective as a pea shooter and runs out of ammo faster than you can say “reload,” you’re golden. Just steer clear of incendiary weapons or stratagems when facing off against Automatons—they’re not exactly their weak spot.
Consider employing the EMS mortar mid-to-late mission to thin out the ranks of approaching units.
If all goes according to plan, you should be wrapping up each mission in a brisk 2 to 5 minutes, depending on the difficulty.
TL;DR
- Find those Eradication missions and keep running them in a continuous loop. Easy peasy.
