Helldivers 2: 5 Trophies That Make Getting the Platinum a Daunting Task

Helldivers 2 is known for its challenging gameplay, but nothing prepares players for the sheer difficulty of obtaining the game's Platinum Trophy. As a trophy hunter, it's essential to know what you're getting yourself into. Here are five Helldivers 2 trophies that will put your skills to the test.

Trophies That Will Haunt Your Helldivers 2 Experience

1) Hell Dive: A Mission on Extreme Difficulty

The Gold Hell Dive Trophy requires players to complete a mission on Extreme difficulty or higher without anyone dying. This means you'll need the best weapons available and a highly skilled team to tackle this challenge.

Medium difficulty is the hardest challenge we've been able to overcome, and that's with multiple deaths. We're not sure how anyone can get through a mission on Extreme difficulty without dying.

2) Hold my Primary, I'm Going In!: The Handgun Challenge

This Gold Trophy asks players to complete a mission on Hard difficulty or above without using their primary or support weapon. You'll be limited to using your secondary weapon, which is usually a handgun, SMG, or low-powered shotgun.

This feels doable on lower difficulties, but on Hard in Helldivers 2, the enemies are kicked up a notch to the point that they can overwhelm a squad in no time at all.

3) Let's Call It a Draw: Disabling a Hulk

To unlock this Bronze Trophy, players will need to shoot off both arms on a Hulk, one of the machine enemies in Helldivers 2, and then extract while it's alive. This requires precise aim and strategy.

Helldivers are squishy, and we often employ a tactic of letting one die as they throw grenades into bug holes to close them so we can complete objectives faster.

4) Science is Done by Quantity: Collecting Common Samples

For this Bronze Trophy, players will need to extract from a Helldivers 2 mission with at least 15 Common Samples. These items can be found throughout the mission, but there are only usually around 18 in total to get.

The most Common Samples we've managed to pick up is eight, so we're not sure how we're going to push that up to 15 without hitting a higher difficulty mission.

5) Gone in 260 Seconds!: Blitz Mission Challenge

This Gold Trophy requires players to complete a full Extreme difficulty Blitz mission and extract in under six minutes. This requires precision teamwork and endless runs at the mission.

Doing anything in under six minutes in Helldivers 2, even on lower difficulties, is almost impossible. This takes precision teamwork and endless runs at a mission.

Conclusion

Helldivers 2 is an excellent game for those who enjoy a challenge, but getting the Platinum Trophy is a daunting task. These five trophies will put your skills to the test and require strategy, teamwork, and determination.
