Summary
Helldivers 2by Arrowhead Studios is a game that is as difficult or as easy as you’d like to make it. Playing with friends and making use of the vastarsenal of powerful Stratagemsat your disposal to blow your enemies away is just one way that you can make your tour of duty a breeze, whereasincreasing the difficultyand taking on harder tasks is a surefire way to test your mettle against the toughest foes the galaxy has to offer.
If you’re in the mood for a further challenge, however, the game alsooffers many achievements, with difficulties ranging from easy to nail-bitingly tough. These are just a few of the hardest that are currently in the game.
8Ship It!
Upgrade all ship modules at least 1 level.
While upgrading the individualship modulesin and of itself is not a hard task, upgrading every single one to at least level one has proven to be one of the rare achievements, at least at this stage in the game’s lifespan.
These will have a variety of positive effects, such as decreased timers for orbital stratagems and increased ammo reserves for weapons and sentries. Upgrading all of them will increase the odds of your survival in most fields, as well as netting you this achievement.
7Hold My Liber-tea!
While using a jump pack, knock yourself into a ragdoll state.
The jump pack is a useful tool that can allow you to reach new heights with the press of a button, make a quick escape from attacking enemies, or scout out the horizon for patrolling groups of foes. The less intended use, then, is sending yourself flying into a cliff face and falling like a ragdoll to your doom.
That is exactly what you’ll have to do if you want to complete this achievement: intentionally cause yourself to ragdoll while in midair from using the jump pack.
6Let’s Call It A Draw
Shoot off both arms on a Hulk and then extract while it’s alive.
The Hulk is alarge automaton enemy, more akin to a walking tank than anything else. Certain missions will require you to defeat this enemy, but it’s in others where they’re merely an obstacle that you’ll want to complete this achievement.
To do so, you simply have to destroy the arms of a Hulk and then extract while it’s still alive and kicking (no pun intended). As they are heavily armored foes, larger weapons may be required to punk through their defenses. Be careful not to use too much firepower, however, and risk destroying them altogether.
5Doing Your Part
Complete at least 100 missions.
Completing 100 missions isn’t exactly a hard task; on the other hand, play enough of the game, and it’s an eventuality. This does require some amount of determination on your part, and there are many people who won’t play the game enough to acquire this achievement in the first place.
Persevere, and you’ll be one of the few so far who can really claim that they’re doing their part for democracy, liberty, and the pursuit of freeing the galaxy. That is if you make it back to tell the tale.
4Caught Them By Supplies!
Kill a Charger with a resupply pod.
If you’re resourceful enough or desperate enough, you’ll quickly find that orbital drops, from resupply pods to incoming reinforcements, are just as capable of defeating enemies as any weapon. The mission becomes a simple one: kill a Charger with a summoned resupply pod, taking out two birds with one stone.
Chargers are dangerous, heavily armored insectoid enemies and the real difficulty in felling one in this manner will be the timing of it. Pull it off, however, and you’ve found yourself a reliable way to deal with this foe.
3Hold My Primary, I’m Going In!
Complete a full Hard difficulty mission or higher without anyone firing their primary or support weapon.
Completing missions in the higher tier of difficulty is an achievement in and of itself, meaning that this one could prove particularly tricky. Not only will you have to complete a Hard difficulty mission in the first place, but you’ll have to do so without any of your grouputilizing their primary or support weapons.
With only smaller arms at your disposal, more alternative strategies will come to the forefront here, or else playing in a quick and stealthy manner will nearly be a requirement in accomplishing your tasks. With a little coordination and a lot of luck, you can nab this achievement too.
2It’s The Only Way To Be Sure…
Have 6 orbital barrage stratagems in the same place at the same time.
The best way to deal with a problem? Blast it from orbit. If that doesn’t solve it? Blast is again. If you still haven’t had enough, equipping six orbital barrage stratagems at once will net you this rare achievement.
With such an arsenal at your fingertips, there’s not much that will be able to stand in your path, but you won’t exactly be subtle while doing so. This will severely limit your ability in other fields, such as alternative weapons or sentries, but sometimes, the only kind of firepower is overwhelming firepower.
1Gone In 360 Seconds!
Complete a full Extreme difficulty Blitz mission and extract in under 6 minutes.
This is perhaps the hardest challenge in the game so far. Not only will you have to complete a Blitz mission of the Extreme difficulty, but you’ll have to do so within just six minutes and successfully extract before that time is up.
Blitz missions will task you with destroying enemy structures, likely defeating swathes of enemies in the process. This is a challenge in and of itself, so completing it in such a short amount of time is no small feat.
