There are many different missions in Helldivers 2. As you progress to medium and higher difficulty tiers, you'll frequently encounter mission objectives such as 'Destroy Fuel Reserves' and 'Destroy Ammunition Stockpiles.' Both of these objectives are located inside heavily guarded bases filled with Automaton enemies. While Stratagems are usually effective for completing certain objectives within bases, they will be useless in these cases. In this guide, we will teach you exactly how to destroy Fuel Reserves in Helldivers 2.

How To Destroy Fuel Reserves and Ammunition Stockpiles in Helldivers 2
The first objective, 'Destroy Ammunition Stockpiles,' is the easier one. You won't need to do anything specific beyond clearing the Automaton Base and destroying the stockpile. In a recent mission, we employed various Stratagems like the Eagle Airstrike and Orbital Laser to clear out Automaton guards, which resulted in our mission objective advancing to 2/3 Ammunition destroyed. Subsequently, I threw a grenade to eliminate the last armored enemy, and the objective was completed. Essentially, any Stratagem or weapon capable of destroying buildings will fulfill this objective.
On the other hand, 'Destroy Fuel Reserves' is a more challenging objective. Your usual Stratagems or weapons will be ineffective against these Reserves. To complete this objective, you'll need to deploy a new Stratagem specifically designed for this mission.

When you're near the base holding the Reserves, you can call in a 'Hellbomb.' After summoning the Hellbomb, you must activate it, and it will explode after approximately 10 seconds.
Tips For Using a Hellbomb in Helldivers 2
-
Clear the base before you call in the Hellbomb, as the Automatons can and will destroy your Bomb.
-
Make sure to place the bomb in the center of the objective. This is important if you're destroying multiple silos and stockpiles, as the explosion might not reach all of them otherwise.
-
Get out of the explosion area if you don't want to die.
