Helldivers 2 - FASTEST MEDAL Farming Guide (Quick and Easy)

Hello, welcome back to a new video. So

today I'll show you the fastest and most

efficient way to grind and farm medals in

Helldivers 2. So as you may know, medals,

very important resource in the game. By

buying things off the Warbond page, you

can get all kinds of things like guns,

new armor sets, helmets, capes, emotes,

grenades, booster things.

New helmets and capes. Yeah, so loads of

really cool stuff. Get to the bottom page,

get this really cool gun, the Plasma

Scorcher. But a little bit of a spoiler

alert, this gun sucks. Don't waste your

time trying to buy it. I really don't

recommend saving up loads of medals to buy

this thinking, oh my god, it's the last

gun on the last page of War Bonds, it's

gonna be amazing. I used it once. It's

like 10— it's got 10 shots in the

magazine. It fires single shot. It does

really crap damage. It does like 100

damage. It's worse than the Breaker

putting this gun in and made it so

rubbish. Anyway, so I'm assuming you want

to grind and farm lots and lots of metal

so you can get this cool stuff. The slug

shotgun is pretty cool as well. This is

rubbish, Liberator Penetrator. But you

definitely want lots of metal to get these

boosters like Stamina Enhancement and

Increased Reinforcement Budget and Stamina

Enhancement. They're really good and

useful boosters. Okay, so here's how I

grind and the most medals as quickly

as possible. So you go to Helldive

difficulty because this is such an easy

and efficient way of farming. You can do

this on the most difficult difficulty.

Complete. So go to, uh, the auto-maton.

Galaxy remains in jeopardy. Let us join

the fight. Shut that guy up first.

Why is the sound on so loud? All right,

anyway, so we go to Automaton territory

and— oh, I haven't seen these planets

before. Vandalon. Let's go to Vandalon.

And oh wait, I'm on medium. You go to

Helldive first. Okay, and then we go to

kill Automatons to reduce the numbers and

start a new mission. I swear you've never

seen this tactic before. No one is talking

about this. It is such a cheesy, cheap,

and easy way to grind everything, not just

medals. XP, requisition,

sample— well, common samples only. You can

actually farm common samples doing this as

well. I'll show you, maybe I'll show you

if I feel in the mood. So just set your

location there, then you want to choose a

bunch of turrets. Whatever, doesn't

matter. Choose, hmm, increase

reinforcement budget.

Yeah, could do that one. Okay, then it's

gonna launch down. Now by doing this

tactic, I predict or estimate that you can

make about 8 medals every 3

minutes, maybe 2 minutes if you actually

have a team. Unfortunately, I don't have a

team. I was hoping some people

would join me. I don't know why

no one's joining me. I'm on public

matchmaking,

so this could be pretty bad if no one

joins, because this is basically— I think

it's possible to do alone, but it's way

easier if you have a team. Is the game

dead or something? It's very slow to build

a group recently. So there's not really

much you can do because your little piddly

shotguns aren't gonna help much. So you

might as well just hide, or maybe you can

like pick off some of the weaker ones that

start coming up the hill. But really,

the turrets and sentries, they're gonna do

all the work. Hopefully you can take out

some of the weaker ones.

Actually, a battle rifle, some kind of

sniper rifle, would be good here. It's

kind of hard to take them out with the

I kind of messed up the placement of the

autocannon. It's just shooting into

this bunker. I don't know if I can destroy

the bunker. No.

And this rocket thing is shooting a

lamppost. I've currently killed 6. It's

pretty good. I need to kill 185.

Okay, it looks like I found a team. I

think they're doing the, the mission that

I was talking about because they've all

got defense turrets. When the whole team

have defense turrets, then you know what

they're doing. They're doing that mission

defending the base. So hopefully we can

join one and I'll show how many medals you

get just by spamming a bunch of turrets.

Okay, so they're about to board

the shuttle. They've already finished!

Where's the shuttle? Oh, got a sample

I'm gonna die. So I just joined, they've

already finished, so that's the fastest 8

medals I'm ever gonna make. If they can

actually get into the damn shuttle. What

are they doing? Where is the shuttle?

Oh, it hasn't landed yet.

I think it's bugged. The landing shuttle

door isn't opening. This game

is such a joke, the amount of bugs in it.

That's— the shuttle door isn't opening.

What the hell? Look, he's trying to land

or something. He can't land. Today you've

carved another foothold in a long climb.

I can't believe that. What? Oh, it's

opening, it's opening. This game is such,

such a mess. I've never seen a game with

so many bugs. What is going on?

Extraction complete. Finally extracted.

They just— I guess the pilot forgot how to

open the door. It's so funny because

whenever you press join a quick match to

auto-join anyone's game, 99% of the

time everyone is doing that exact same

mission because it's so easy to just farm

it. Why did they make this game so that

there's one level that everyone just does

over and over again just to grind and farm

the easiest way? So he got— it

took them 1 minute 58 seconds How many

medals? The menu— the menu thing, I mean

the stat screen, shows you how many things

you get. Isn't supposed to just disappear

so quickly. So I don't know how many

medals we got. Why do they all have the

same uniform? And where's my character?

My character's not there. I think they

kicked me. Oh my god, did they

actually kick me? Or have I crashed?

I think I crashed. Oh no, no, no,

I was just at the side for some reason. I

don't even know if I got any medals. Oh,

I didn't get any medals. I've only got

one. Okay, that's kind of weird.

Oh my god, I think they just kicked me.

This freaking game. I reckon they were all

friends because they had the same armor

on. And then they kicked me because they

don't know who I am. Then why didn't you

set matchmaking to pro? Oh, the stupid

pricks. I can't tell you how many

times I've been kicked out of a random

group just because I don't even know why.

I just joined. Try and join another one.

Okay, looks like I've joined another one

and they're already in the game. Just

quickly join, it doesn't matter what

you've chosen. They might have finished

already. If you're too slow, they might

actually get onto the shuttle. I don't

know why I joined the previous game before

it ended, but I didn't get any medals.

Like it glitched or something. I wonder if

they're gonna kick me as well. This is why

I don't join randoms, always make my own

group, because then you can't get kicked.

Oh, they're still halfway through.

But for some reason, sometimes I make my

own group and I open it up to public and

and no one joins. It's like the

matchmaking is bugged or something. I

don't think these people are friends.

Like, the last group, they seemed like

they were friends because they were

dressed up in the same orange gear, a

bunch of stupid kids. These guys are like

just a bunch of randoms. I don't even

know what I took for my orbitals. Just

chuck anything.

The ragdoll physics in this are so funny.

I hate it on some levels, it scrambles up

your stratagems. At first I thought this

was a bug, but it's some kind of negative

effects from the planet that scrambles

your stratagems. So you think you've

inputted one and then it drops a different

one that you didn't choose. Okay, now I've

got another bug. My mouse won't move the

camera. I'm moving my character, but the

camera's frozen. But I can shoot and I can

move and everything. That's so weird.

This game is such a mess. I feel like the

last patch broke the game even more.

Look, the camera is like fixed and my

character walks around it like it's

Resident Evil, like the old-school

Resident Evil games. Okay, let's see how

many medals we get. If I get any, I should

get some. I wonder if they're gonna kick

me. Oh, I love getting kicked by randoms.

I feel like it's really stupid that one

person in the party has the power to kick

anyone. It's kind of unfair because

some people abuse it. They just kick you

for stupid reasons, or they're just dumb

kids. Too many dumb kids ruining

everything. So I got 8 medals and the

minutes— and the mission took 3 minutes.

So it's 8 medals every 3 minutes

times 10, 30 minutes, 80 medals.

1 hour, 160 medals an hour.

Wait, is that right? Let me get my

calculator. So we did 3 minutes, got 10

medals. So that's 3 divided by 10,

0.3, times 60 minutes.

Should get like 180 medals. If you do this

for an hour, you should get 180 medals.

Did I actually get them? Oh yeah,

actually. Oh, I got the medals from the

previous one as well, because I swear that

said 1 earlier and now it says 17. It

means I got 16, 8 from this one and then 8

from the previous one. Yeah, I made like

16 medals in just 5 minutes. So do this

for an hour, you'd easily get 180 medals.
