Helldivers 2continues its unprecedented run of success still 2+ months after release. With a constant influx ofnew weapons,new Stratagems, new Major Orders, and new enemy units added at a healthy clip, there’s no end in sight for this juggernaut of a PVE squad-based shooter. Each month, a Warbond (Helldivers' battle pass system) releases with new weapons, armor, and customization options, and they never expire. Paired with the fact that you can acquire the paid currency (Super Credits) during each mission only adds to how player-friendly this live service game really is.

This guide details the best loadouts choices that complement each other across all difficulty levels as established in Helldivers 2’s new meta.
With new Warbonds releasing every month, and with the ability to collect Super Credits on missions, it can be so frustrating to be just a little out of reach of the requisite 1000 Super Credits for an upcoming Warbond, delaying how soon you may start unlocking its treasures. Fortunately, there’s aneffectiveandreliable method for farming Super Creditsat a surprisingly decent rate. You can earn500-600 Super Credits in about an hourof grinding with this method — not to mention a fair number of Warbond Medals and Requisition Slips as well!

Helldivers 2
Super Credit Farming Method Overview
To start, I’ll lay out a general process of this farming method, then I’ll dig into some of the reasoning behind why this works and effective ways to speed up the process.
The map layout for Trivial Missions typically offers simple, circular maps, with the objective or evac point located in the center. You want to drop on the middle/outer ring of the map, then simply run around the entire map,seeking out Question marks (POIs)until you’ve found 10 (I’ve come across some Trivial maps that have 12 POIs, but they seem much rarer).
This method specificallyworks best on maps that offer flat terrain; on maps with high cliff walls, mountains, or rivers you need to circumvent, the number of POIs can be reduced to ~6.
Once you’ve found ~10 (or you’re no longer finding any), you simply want to close out the game and boot it back up. You’ll respawn on the bridge of your ship, ready to initiate the mission. If you liked that map seed, you can start the mission once again. If you didn’t like the loot layout for that map, you can move on to a new mission.
When you find a great loot layout, exiting the game and redropping on the same mission not only gives you the exact same map layout, butevery Point of Interest contains the exact same loot.If you find 3+ Super Credits stashes in close proximity to each other, your best bet is to drop, grab those, close out the game, re-drop on that exact spot, loot, and repeat. You won’t be bringing home any XP or Samples, but those are plentiful enough in normal games.
I can’t say this is a great way to spend your time in Helldivers 2, as you’re generally trying to avoid combat completely and simply loot things over and over again, but it’s a great method to gain Super Credits while listening to a podcast.
Solo Or Squad?
You could always attempt the same method with a friend, rather than going solo. Grouping up with a friend allows you both to head in opposite directions toloot the map twice as quickly, which can result infully explored POIs within 2-3 minutes, but you’ll need to deal with some awkward downtime between missions as you group up again. You can simply complete each mission together, but the added time spent on the main objective and extraction reduces how effective this method can be.

Helldivers 2 delivers blood-pumping action as you face off against two vicious factions: the bug-like Terminids and the Automaton Collective.
Why Trivial Difficulty?
Trivial Difficulty is key for a number of reasons. It features thesmallest mapsand thelowest enemy presence, so they’re your best bet to easily track down the 10 POIs without having to wander all over the map.
Not only that, but Trivial Difficulty also limits the loot pool within the POIs.
Trivial Difficulty POI Loot Pool
On higher difficulties, the loot pool for Points of Interest expands to include higher Support Weapon chances — as well as additional Support Weapons — along with Rare Samples, reducing the chance of finding Super Credits in any POI.
If you find a Super Credit loot pile in a POI (like a beacon or a cargo crate),that will always contain Super Credits, even after redropping on the mission— but the amount can change. For example, Super Credits typically offer 10, Medals typically offer 1, and Requisition Slips typically offer 100. But, these loot nodes also contain rarer, higher value options: Super Credits have a chance to appear as 100, Medals as 2 or 3, and Requisition Slips as 1000. These higher values are not common, but they’re extremely welcome surprises when they show up.

The next Mass Effect needs its co-op mode back.
Best Points Of Interest For Super Credits
There are several different types of POIs found around maps. Some of these are great for potentially containing Super Credits, while others will never have Super Credits.

Video Showcasing Farming Method
This above video shows a great example of a solid Super Credit farming route; not hittingeveryPOI on the map, but a specific few that primarily yield Super Credits, Warbond Medals, and Requisition Slips (and that are all fairly close together). When you’re first exploring a new map, it won’t go this quickly, but once you find a good one, you can start rapidly trimming seconds off your time.
