Overview

The fastest method to reach level 20 in Helldivers 2 involves farming trivial difficulty Brood Commander missions, which grant around 269 XP in four to five minutes without requiring stratagems by landing directly on the boss, eliminating it quickly with weapons like the grenade launcher, and extracting swiftly.

Alternative missions like ICBM, Destroy Eggs, and Bug Extermination are less time-efficient due to long terminal interactions, extensive traversal, or lower relative XP payouts, while challenging Bile Titan runs provide larger rewards but take longer if pursuing side objectives.

High ground rock or mountain positioning isolates players from attacks and enables easy completion of hard-mode and level 5 Defend the Area missions in five minutes with defensive sentries or airstrikes, yielding solid XP and bonuses alongside improved matchmaking.

Themes

Experience farming strategies and mission efficiency comparing trivial Brood Commander runs, Bile Titan missions, and other objective types.

Elevated positioning tactics on rocks and mountains to bypass combat challenge and avoid damage during hard missions.

Level 5 Defend the Area mission dynamics, defensive sentry usage, matchmaking functionality, extraction bonuses, and squad revivals.

Developments

Uncertainties & gaps

Whether the 500 kg airstrike defeats a Bile Titan in a single hit or demands two hits.

Whether a Gatling gun drop landing directly on the back of a Crusher completely destroyed it.

Whether developers will patch or eliminate the mountain-top high-ground exploit.

Whether finishing the mission would remain easy when attempting it solo.
