Helldivers 2 FASTEST Leveling XP Farming Guide - Helldive Difficulty Guide

This is probably the fastest way to farm

the most XP and medals without barely

having to do anything in only under 2

minutes. It's such an easy way to farm

huge amounts of XP, medals, currency

points, and the funniest thing is you

don't even have to do much. You just stand

there, deploy the sentries, and then go

AFK. It's so easy, you literally can just

roll on the floor on the ground with your

teammates whilst the sentries blow

everything up. So what you want to do is

go over to the mission terminal, go over

to Automatons, and choose Helldive

difficulty. Yes, we're going to do the

most difficult mode, and it's not even

going to be difficult at all. Best thing

about doing Helldive mode is you get a

250% bonus to XP and requisition

at the end of the mission. So you want to

look for a little star-shaped icon, and it

will look like this: Eradicate Automaton

Forces. And you just have to kill loads of

Automatons whilst defending a base. It's

the easiest kind of mission in the game.

And then for stratagems, you're going to

choose all of the turrets. The EMP mortar

is extremely useful for slowing down the

automatons or even just stopping them in

their tracks. So you definitely want EMP

mortar, the normal mortar, the autocannon,

and also the rocket sentry. And this is

just going to destroy the dropships as

they're coming in. Maybe even sometimes

you'll destroy the dropships before

they've even dropped off the passengers

and they will die as well. Because they

get blown up. So we're going to choose all

of the sentries, and hopefully your team

members, they will choose the mortars and

the rocket sentries as well. And you want

to land here near this tower thing on the

top of the mountain, or the top of the

base, and just start deploying your

sentries. Now you want to spread the

sentries out because if they're too close

to each other, well, they're going to hit

each other and blow each other up, or

shoot your own people. So you want to

spread them out. And yes, you can actually

place the sentry on top of that roof. The

roof of that little bunker, you can place

sentries on top of it. Place the mortars

around the back so they don't get hit by

stuff. They can be placed at the back

because they've got long range and they're

mortars, so they're not shooting in a

straight line. And then you can place some

sentries on the edges of the cliffs so

they've got good visibility. That wasn't a

great placement of the autocannon, to be

honest, but whatever. You can also place

this machine gun that you can take control

of. It's pretty fun to shoot at things

with it. It shreds most enemies, but the

problem is it only has about 300 bullets,

so it does run out of ammunition pretty

quickly. Now you'll see why the EMP mortar

is so important. Because of the EMP

mortar, it's going to slow down the

automatons so much that they can't even

make it to the top of the base. These

tanks, they're just going to sit there.

They can't even get up to the base, I

think, because the pathway up to the base

is too narrow. So they end up just being

like sitting stationary turrets that get

stuck stuck, and you can just gun them

down. See all the EMP particle effects

slowing everything? This way you just get

constant barrage of mortars and missiles

destroying everything, and it takes about

2 minutes. I think I've done it in under 2

minutes before. So we just finished the

mission, then everyone rushes into the

evac dropship, and this is how many points

we get for finishing the mission without

losing anyone, under 2 minutes, and

extracting everyone. So you only get 340

XP, but you get the bonus multiplier,

250%, for the Helldive difficulty mode,

and you get a total of about 1,200 XP

every time, and you get about 8 medals.

So 8 medals in 2 minutes. I'm assuming you

don't really care too much about XP

because after you reach level 20,

leveling up doesn't really matter anymore.

There's not really any big difference

between level 20 and level 50. You can do

the same kind of things, but what you

really want are the medals. The medals is

what's going to let you unlock things from

the War Bonds menu. Okay, so I'll show you

exactly what to do step by step once more.

So you might want to press R to join an

ongoing mission, but the chances are that

the team you join might not be doing this

farming thing. Although quite a lot of

people are doing the farming thing,

you're better off just starting off your

own mission and then waiting for people to

join you. So we go on to Ingmar and

look for a defense mission. There's one,

kill automatons to reduce their numbers.

And, uh, we're gonna abandon my previous

mission. It's okay, whatever. And then

we're gonna hell jump over to the new

planet. It's funny because all the loading

screens takes longer than it actually

takes to finish the mission. These loading

screens are so— they take such a long damn

time. So I'm gonna jump into— even this

animation getting into the Hellpod takes

freaking ages. So it's gonna land in the

middle, choose EMP,

EMP mortar, or EMS. And the Rocket Sentry,

Mortar Sentry, Autocannon, and yeah,

that's basically it. Now I don't think

it's possible if you're alone. You kind of

need a whole team because that's 4 times

the sentries. If you only have one set of

sentries, it's not really going to be

enough to stop the automatons from getting

to the top. Is it automatons? Was it

automatons? I don't know. Weird word.

Look, this loading screen's so long as

well. So land on top.

It's already glitched.

Floating crate. Don't know if you can go

under it. Can you go under it? Oh, you

can! Weird glitch. Now you only have

a few minutes, or a few seconds, before

the dropships start coming. And I don't

have a team, so it's not gonna go well.

Place the sentry there. Rocket sentry can

go on the roof. Auto cannon

can go there. Mortar— I think the mortar

is probably the most important one. So

this is probably not going to go well

because I've only got 4 sentries. If

you've got a full team, you'll have 16

sentries. But for

some reason no one's joining. It's weird.

I think my game's bugged. Sometimes you

have to quit the game and reopen it for

matchmaking to work. I can't even call an

SOS beacon. Usually by now someone would

have joined,

unless the game's dead already. Oh, the

tank got to the top. It's so funny because

when the new game comes out and it's

really hyped up, no one can play because

all the servers are full. And then they,

they release new servers and increase the

server capacity so more people can play,

but by the time they've done that, the

game's already kind of fell off. So we

don't need the extra servers. Don't know

how much it costs to create extra servers.

It's a bit of a gamble, isn't it? Because

they're going to spend this money and then

the game's going to stop trending and lose

popularity within probably a month. Kind

of reminds me of New World. Remember New

World? That game was so hyped up and

no one could log in. Took like 5 hours to

log in. 'Cause there were so many people

trying to play. And then by the time they

increased the servers, the game kind of—

no one cared about it anymore.

So the plan is not really going to plan

because I'm on my own. But even alone,

I mean, I guess this could be an example

of how to do it alone. I've already lost

most of my sentries. Whoa.

If you can, it'd be good to get the

upgrade for the sentries, the ship

modules. There's a ship module where it

increases the ammunition by 50%. I think

the reason why they disappear is because

they run out of ammunition,

so to increase it by 50% would be pretty

useful. I've destroyed 55

out of 185, but now I'm kind of a sitting

duck because all my sentries are on

cooldown. There's not much you can do.

You could die and hide at the top of that

So I don't know if I'll actually be able

to do this. Oh my God.

Oh, I did not even see that. Whack me. So

what I'll do is I'll spawn— I'll try to

spawn— oh, where's the tower? I thought

it'd be there. I was gonna spawn— oh, the

tower's over there. It spawned me down

here for some reason. There's literally

nothing you can do against those if you

don't have any stratagems, so I'm gonna

chuck the stratagems back up there.

It's just hard to place them now.

Oh, look, there's samples. So this is not

a great example of how easy and how quick

and efficient it is. Well, you do need a

team to do this, otherwise it's pretty

much impossible.

You'll just keep getting blown up.

I think my game's bugged because I'm not

getting any people joining my group.

Oh well.
