More recently, developers Helldivers 2 has announced a new battle pass, which will include new weapons, utility upgrades, cloaks, and cool armor sets. Some items are given away for free as usual, while others that are “more useful and effective” will cost you 1,000 Super Credits. Fortunately, the developers left open the option to earn donated money in the game itself. In this guide, we will tell you how to quickly collect super credits and buy elite items with battle passes without donating investments.
Helldivers 2 Guides
How does the Battle Pass work in Helldivers 2 and should you buy it?
In most service games, the battle pass is a “content dump” that often has no impact on the main gameplay. Yes, every now and then developers make mistakes and release skins that give an advantage in multiplayer battles. But this is where the direct influence of skins on mechanics ends. Another thing is Helldivers 2. The battle pass is part of the progression, without which it is impossible to succeed on high difficulties.
The first battle pass (called “Merit”) is divided into two parts: Free and Steeled Veterans. The first provides a basic set of items that make it easier to “establish democracy” on occupied planets. The second offers more advanced ammunition for effectively taking out opponents on higher difficulties.
The battle pass is divided into pages. They all have a standard set: one armor set, one gun, a pack of super credits, an emote, a banner and a nice bonus in the form of an extra weapon or upgrade. We repeat: not skins, but a full-fledged functional device. That is, without a Battle Pass you will not receive: shotgun, rifle with scope, technical armor, improvements for the paratrooper capsule and much more. No one will just give you anything. We are faced with a strange kind of progress that cannot be ignored.
Items are unlocked in the battle pass for medals, which players receive for successfully completing missions, but also in the form of rewards for global tasks. You cannot selectively buy items, for example buy all weapons and ignore armor with extra ammo. Each battle pass page has a special limit that must be overcome to unlock cooler weapons. That’s why it’s very important to unlock all the pages and pick up ammo items as quickly as possible before the new battle pass comes out. Fortunately, players have the option to pick up additional medals from caches they can find while exploring the planet. Agricultural Supercredits are closely related to Agricultural Medals, so this guide is very universal.
Weapons and armor in the Steeled Veterans Premium Battle Pass have additional modifiers and provide special benefits in battle against opponents. Players can unlock the revolver R-4 “Senator” with 150 points of damage, high rate of fire and armor-piercing improvement. An improved assault rifle is suitable for fighting automatons AR-23E “Explosive Liberator”. Unlike the standard version, the premium version has armor-piercing properties and explosive rounds that perfectly destroy the defenses of even the largest robots.
A rapid-fire shotgun is useful for fighting insects SG-2251E “Fire Hazardous Breaker”. This weapon easily penetrates a thick shell and sets everything in its path on fire. With something like this, legions of “cockroaches” are not scary. A regular shotgun from a standard battle pass can’t match Steeled Veterans’ “mini flamethrower.”
You will also receive the ultimate high caliber rifle JAR-5 “Suppressor” with explosive ammunition, which has no analogue in the standard battle pass. And also a healing grenade against beetles and a “flexible budget for reinforcements” booster, which can reduce the time for summoning allies after the borders are exhausted (a valuable thing).
What do we end up with? The Steeled Veterans Battle Pass is extremely useful for battles at maximum difficulty. Weapon mods are effective against certain enemies, and a unique gun, grenade, and mod provide significant superiority. If you want to make your character’s life a little easier and get the best weapons in the first season, we will tell you below how you can quickly earn super credits for the premium battle pass.
How to earn super credits and medals quickly in Helldivers 2
You will receive your first super credits from the regular battle pass. Cells with premium coins are opened with standard medals. The further you go through the Battle Pass pages, the more medals you need to unlock premium currency. You can only earn one Battle Pass 750 super credits. This amount is not enough to purchase a battle pass, as we need 1000. Furthermore, growing currency through a free battle pass is a long and arduous process. After the fifth page, the progress of unlocking items slows down significantly. The fun progression turns into a boring battle for medals. But you also need them for the premium battle pass.
It is much easier to earn premium currency and medals through gameplay. This method is much faster and more efficient than unlocking cells in the Free Battle Pass. Moreover, you can farm not only in the company of friends, but also alone.
Important note: Many Helldivers 2 players mistakenly believe that items and currency found in a location are only attributed to the person who retrieved them. Because of this, situations often arise where allies begin to kill each other in front of shelters in the hope of getting some super credits on their account. We hasten to reassure you! Resources, medals and in-game currency are awarded to all players in the party, regardless of who picked them up. And no, their numbers are not distributed among the lobby members. If there were 4 Merit Medals in the cache, each player will receive the same number.
What do you need to earn medals comfortably?
First of all, you need to get light armor from the regular battle pass. It will help us move quickly around the map and significantly save time on farming. On the first page you can open SC-34 “Infiltrator” with 530 speed points and 115 stamina recovery. This is sufficient for fast farming. If you’ve already spent some time in Helldivers 2, we recommend opening the armor SC-30 scout with her 550 speed points and 125 stamina.
To increase the speed at which you move around the map, we recommend purchasing it jetpack. With its help you can overcome obstacles and avoid enemy patrols. Under no circumstances should you rest backpack with drone. It significantly reduces the main character’s movement speed and stamina.
On the seventh page of the regular battle pass you can open the amplifier”Increased endurance“to make your hero even faster and more agile. This allows you to quickly clear the map of shelters and save personal time.
Which battles should you participate in?
Open the galaxy map and select the lowest difficulty level. Then move the cursor to the right side and select the part of the galaxy where beetle collisions occur. Select a planet where players are currently trying to push back the enemy attack. We recommend taking out planets low vegetation level type “Erata Prime” And “Fenrir IIIThis makes it easier for you to find caches and notice the supply capsules’ signal lights.
Try to complete missions with a large map, where there are no water obstacles and huge mountain ranges. The larger the territory of your task, the more resources you receive. Choose planets without climatic conditions and special modifiers. In hot or cold weather, your hero moves slower in special zones and also loses stamina faster. Land closer to the extraction point. this way it will be easier for you to navigate the space and get to all the hiding places in the location.
How do you find hiding places?
Often caches spawn around the main mission. We recommend running in a circle around the area. To do this, separate the map on the mini radar and trace the boundaries of the combat zone. Don’t be distracted by patrols and loners. Your goal is farming, not completing tasks. After approaching the cache, your hero will mark it on the map.
First of all, pay attention to the hills with canyons. Containers often spawn in them. The blue ones usually contain super credits, and the red ones contain revision data and medals. Blow them up with grenades and empty the contents. Sometimes you come across large bunkers with hatches. Unfortunately, they cannot be opened when farming in single-player mode.
Then visit absolutely all places where there are civilian buildings. They are painted blue, making them very hard to miss. If the building is on a hill, the cache is hidden in a small cliff. There is often a dead paratrooper with a shotgun nearby. Sometimes you come across farms and science centers where containers also appear. Always carry 4 grenades with you to open caches on the spot.
Note the yellow warning lights flashing throughout the mission area. These are crashed supply pods. The loot in it is completely random. On low difficulty: super credits, medals, weapons and progress. At high levels, rare resources can spawn to improve the ship.
If you plan to farm with friends, we recommend increasing the difficulty. Information towers will then appear on the map, by hacking them you will open all the shelters on the mini-map. Then all you have to do is clean the rooms.
Once you have cleared the location of all caches, simply return to the ship without completing the main task. All collected medals, super credits and applications will be credited to your account. This way you save a lot of time. If, in addition to the announced resources, you need monsters to upgrade your ship, then you must complete the mission to the end.
How long does it take to obtain super credits?
Usually super credits spawn 10 per cache. There are rare exceptions. We came across containers with 100 and 200 super credits. The chance of failure is extremely small, but it does exist.
Often containers contain two resources. The game has an unpleasant bug where after taking one item the second becomes unavailable. Always research items before picking them up. Take out super loans first, and only then the second source.
Supercredits always spawn differently. It is impossible to predict exactly how much will fall on the next outing. We managed to take out 50-70 pieces per mission. And there were very sad moments when we could barely find one stack of super coins. In return we received medals, which were very useful in unlocking premium battle pass items.
If you play solo without boosts and our recommended character build, you can easily earn 200-250 super credits in one hour of real time. It will take you 5-6 hours (possibly less) to collect 1000 coins and purchase a premium battle pass.
With improved stamina and the right armor you can earn 270-320 super credits. It took us 4 hours of real time to collect the amount to purchase the battle pass.
Farming in a cooperative yields an average of 300-400 super credits. In just three hours you can actually collect 1000 coins and buy a battle pass. By farming a little more, you save for all the premium items from the specialty store.
