In the brutal battlefields of Helldivers 2, true masters understand how to uncover hidden rules, knowledge that often changes the course of battle more effectively than a new weapon.

Mastering these techniques means you can efficiently harvest more loot with fewer resources, while making the most accurate judgments at crucial moments.

Today, I'll bring you hid tips and tricks for Helldivers 2, teaching you how to improve your gameplay. Whether you're a novice or a seasoned Helldivers veteran, this content will elevate your combat understanding to a whole new level.

Farming Mission

Completing Helldivers 2 Level 1 missions earns Super Credits. You can find Super Credits in any mission. They can appear in any random location, including Containers, Bunkers, or Escape Pods. Their appearance rate is low, and you might get 10 or 100 at a time.

Abandoning a mission will not clear your Super Credits, Medals, or Requisition Slips, but it will clear your Samples. Therefore, if you're looking for Samples, it's best not to abandon the mission. However, if you're farming Helldivers 2 Super Credits, Medals, or Requisition Slips, the easiest way is to directly find these items and then abandon the mission. This way, you'll still get the items you want.

Quickly Entering Bunker

If you want to enter Bunker and you're playing solo, simply run to Bunker entrance, jump in, and use Warp Pack to enter Bunker's interior. This method works most of the time, and since it's solo, it easily helps you get the loot.

You can also do this with a mech. Reverse your mech to the front of Bunker, jump out, and you can pass through the wall into Bunker's interior, take your items, and then climb back up. This exploit is still not fixed in the latest Helldivers 2 Patch 6.2.3.

Maximize Boosters

Vitality Enhancement is even better than described. It not only increases your health, but the effect also varies based on your armor value. The higher your armor value, the greater the health bonus you gain.

Additionally, Vitality Enhancement slightly reduces any damage over time effects you take in Helldivers 2. For example, it reduces the duration of fire damage, thus reducing the amount of fire damage you take.

Stamina Enhancement's effects are much more complex than described. It not only accelerates stamina regeneration but also increases movement speed. It can increase your movement speed by approximately 23%, but since some light armor already has a movement speed cap, it's not very useful for light armor. However, its effect is significant for medium and heavy armor.

Muscle Enhancement's effects are also much more complex than described. It reduces many slowing effects. These effects can come from sandstorms, blizzards, or anything that reduces your normal movement speed. Even when walking in mud, Muscle Enhancement will still give you a higher movement speed than usual.

Exploit Stims

Stim restores all health, limbs, and stamina. P-11 Stim Pistol can also trigger Infusion. Infusion increases your damage but slightly reduces your accuracy. Stim Pistol also benefits from Medic Armour.

Aim Stratagems

Eagle Strafing Runs always fly in a straight line from where you throw them, making their trajectory easy to see. Eagle Bombing Runs and Nape Palm Strikes always fly to the right or left of where you throw them. Knowing this makes it easier to decide where to move if you don't want to get blown up by your own Strafing Runs.

Orbital EMS Strikes inflict impact damage with each throw. You can use the gas attack to destroy targets like Illuminate Ships, as long as it hits the target directly. In Helldivers 2, the gas itself doesn't damage ships, but the impact does.

Optimize Weapons

A/ARC-3 Tesla Tower can slightly increase its rate of fire after the first shot. You don't need to fully charge after the first shot. Just charge until you hear the sound effect, then you can slightly increase your rate of fire for higher DPS. Most weapons drop the magazine when reloading. This is especially disadvantageous for weapons with high-capacity magazines. Be careful not to drop too much extra ammunition. Reloading when the magazine is not completely empty is faster than reloading when it is completely empty, at least for most weapons.

Therefore, the technique of preloading when you only have a few bullets left in your gun is very useful. However, this advantage is not available if the weapon reloads one bullet at a time.

Flame weapons actually have very high armor-piercing capabilities. This is due to the properties of flames; even against large enemies like Hulk or Tank, you can burn them to death with a flamethrower.

Any one-handed weapon can be fired backward while running. This includes most submachine guns and secondary weapons. Recoil is less in first-person view, and even less when crouching or prone. Especially with machine guns, your accuracy is greatly improved when crouching.

LAS-99 Quasar Cannon always flies in a straight line, so you don't need to worry about bullet drop. No matter how far the target is, as long as your aim is accurate enough, LAS-99 Quasar Cannon will hit it. FAF-14 Spear is excellent for long-range sniping, and it's very useful for destroying factories at long range, especially in missions like Blitz mission.

In Helldivers 2, laser weapons are affected by the temperature of different planets. If the planet is cold, its heating rate will be slower; if the planet is hot, its heating rate will be slightly faster. This is an interesting dynamic if you enjoy using laser weapons.

All laser weapons have virtually unlimited ammunition as long as they don't overheat. If they overheat, you can reload or upgrade your Heatsinks. Always wear Fire Armor when using LAS-17 Double-Edge Sickle, as it will start burning you and causing damage when it gets very hot.

Wearing Fire Armor reduces this damage. Vitality Enhancement can further reduce damage. However, the higher the weapon's temperature, the stronger its armor penetration.

The key to winning in Helldivers 2 lies in making good use of the mechanics. These techniques aren't loopholes, but deeper aspects of the game that make each match more interesting and help you achieve victory more effective
