A Guide to Farming Super Credits in Helldivers 2
Welcome, Helldivers enthusiasts! Today, we're diving into an essential topic for any player who wants to make the most out of Helldivers 2: how to efficiently farm Helldivers 2 Super Credits. These premium credits are key to unlocking better gear, strategies, and ultimately making your Helldivers experience even more exciting. Whether you're a new player or a seasoned veteran, there's always a method to earn these credits faster.
What Are Super Credits
Super Credits are the premium in-game currency in Helldivers 2. They're essential for acquiring high-level upgrades, War Bonds, and special gear. While you can use real money to purchase them, it's possible to farm them in-game with the right strategy.
Basic Gear You'll Need
You don't need anything fancy to get started on your Super Credit grind, but some key HD2 items will help you maximize your efficiency:
Primary & Secondary Weapons: The specific type doesn't matter too much, but if you want to make it easier on yourself, take a throwable or primary weapon that can open containers. The Crossbow and Eruptor are great options, as well as the Grenade Pistol for secondary weapons.
Armor: Opt for Light Armor. The reason? Light Armor allows you to move faster across the map, and when you're trying to collect as many Super Credits as possible, speed is crucial.
Choosing the Right Planet: Grand Erit
The planet you'll want to focus on is Grand Erit, located in the Terminate Sector. It's a desert planet that offers several benefits:
Consistency: The locations of objectives remain the same across missions, making it easier to navigate.
No Water Hazards: Unlike some other planets, you won't have to worry about water cutting off access to other objectives.
For best results, choose difficulty 1. This reduces map size and limits enemy encounters, allowing you to focus solely on farming.
Ideal Strategies for Farming
To make this process as smooth as possible, you'll need the right strategies. Here's what I recommend:
Anti-Material Rifle: This is perfect for opening crates, fences, and other containers. It's available at level 1 and doesn't require any War Bonds, making it the ideal starting weapon for farming Super Credits. Other viable options include the Grenade Launcher and other weapons that can open containers.
Warp Pack (Optional, Requires War Bonds): This item allows you to teleport directly into bunkers, making it much easier to access loot. If you have the War Bonds to unlock it, it's a great choice for speeding up the process.
If you don't have the Warp Pack, don't worry—there are free alternatives:
Jump Pack: Unlocked at level 10, this gives you added mobility to quickly get around the map.
Mechs: These aren't used for combat but instead to help you access bunkers. Simply hop into a mech, walk up to the bunker, and back up to it until you clip inside. While not as fast as the Warp Pack, it's a free alternative.
Focus on Key Objectives
When you're farming Super Credits, these three objectives should be your main focus:
Escape Pods: These can contain Super Credits, although the drop rate is lower.
Crates: These are your most reliable source of Super Credits.
Bunkers: These are the best spots to check. Bunkers often contain several items, and there's a good chance you'll find Super Credits.
You don't have to complete the mission to collect your credits—once you grab the Super Credits or requisition slips, you can leave the mission early.
Boost Your Efficiency with Stamina Boosters
The Stamina Booster is a free and effective item that helps you maintain your speed throughout the mission. It's crucial for keeping your momentum while hopping from one objective to the next.
Team Up for Faster Farming
If you're playing with friends, consider increasing the difficulty slightly to spawn more objectives, which means more chances to collect Super Credits. If you're farming for samples, a greater difficulty can also help with that. It's always a good idea to bring the Fast Recon Vehicle for quicker mobility, especially if you're farming in a group.
How Much Can You Farm
With the right strategy, you can earn around 800 Super Credits every 2 hours. This might vary depending on how well you execute your plan, but if you're dedicated, it's a reliable way to farm.
In one 2-hour session, I started with 200 credits and ended up with just over 1,000. I repeated the process the next night for another 2 hours and was up to 1,860 Super Credits. You can earn about 800 Super Credits per 2 hours.
Final Thoughts
Farming Super Credits in Helldivers 2 is all about efficiency and speed. By using the right gear, choosing the right planet, and focusing on key objectives, you can rack up credits and unlock powerful War Bonds in no time. Whether you're doing it solo or with a team, this method will help you on your journey to becoming a top-tier Helldiver.
Good luck out there, and I'll see you on the battlefield!
