How to Progress in Helldivers 2

After the significant success of Palworld last month, Helldivers 2 quickly became one of the most popular games on Steam, where players can team up with up to three Helldivers to embark on various missions to liberate planets from the scourge of aliens and robots. Once you jump into the game, you have limited resources, and the game doesn't teach you how to unlock new weapons and Stratagems for your missions. In this guide, we will show you exactly how the progression system works and what you need to do to succeed in Helldivers 2.

How to Progress in Helldivers 2

Helldivers 2 offers a unique progression system that differs from other games. To progress and become more powerful, you need to grind levels and earn various currencies, such as Medals, Super Credits, Samples, and Requisition Credits. Each of these is used to purchase different upgrades, where your decisions will determine your progression. Here are the three main ways to progress in Helldivers 2:

• Warbond Stores: These act as the game's version of a battle pass, where you will spend Medals and Super Credits to unlock different weapons, body armors, cosmetic items, and boosters.

• Ship Management: In the Stratagems section, you unlock different Stratagems to aid you in battle. They require a certain level to unlock and Requisition Credits to purchase. In the Ship Module Section, you purchase different upgrades for your Stratagems by spending your Samples.

• Supertore: Here, you can purchase various weapons, body armor, and different cosmetics with Super Credits. The items here are time-limited and change every 24 hours.

These are the three main ways to progress in the game. You will gain XP and levels by completing missions. Every weapon and Stratagem you unlock has different advantages against certain enemies. Pay attention to the missions you are undertaking and choose the right equipment for the job. If you are playing with friends, make sure to unlock different items and upgrades that complement each other's strengths and weaknesses, so you can complete your missions more easily.

And that concludes our guide on how the progression system works in Helldivers 2. At first, it may seem overwhelming, but once you play a few games and see how you accumulate all the different resources, you will progress in no time. For more Helldivers 2 guides, check the rest of our website.
