Helldivers 2 - How To Level Up Weapons Fast

Yoo show me how to level up point guard in 2k25 🏀

I recently max leveled all weapons. Bot blitz is definitely the fastest. Took about 110 hours of dedicated grinding, each weapon takes around 30-35 blitzes to max out.

My strat was driving around in the FRV and sniping objectives with the RR/chucking thermites. 500kg for detector towers and hellbomb pack for jammers/gunship fabs.

Doing it solo also will take significantly longer than joining other diver’s missions, so because of that definitely take expert extraction. No one else will but they will take things like hellpod space or stamina. Expert extract is just a flat reduction in waiting for extract, making farming faster.

You can also quit and receive full XP during the fly away cutscene after extracting. This saves a solid extra 40 seconds and spawns you right inside the bridge instead of waiting for the cryopod animation every single time.

I really don't know why AH had to make the weapon level up system so tedious (just like anything in this game😒)? I wished they unlocked all upgrades to choose from right from the start. And by leveling you would only unlock the skins without the need to by them via Requisition points. It would be balanced by the by the weapon mods costing 5000R each. And because you can have only 25k it would be balanced by that. The system how it stands now you really have ti think what you wanna level and play for the next hours or even days. And because some weapons only have scopes or not even that they are not played anymore. Because everyone needs to play the guns with the upgrades they need. It is just stupid imo. Also Lvl 10 for a weapon would have been enough as it stands with the current system. Even with the guns that have the most parts you still have times were you unlock a new part every 2 levels. They really need to tone down the unbelievable tedious grind in this game. For absolutely everything. X Currency, I get why my brother didn't stick around with this game. We started at the same time. The Bones on this game are good but man it has so many flaws. Unlike DRG wich is just 😙👌perfect minus Industrial Sabotage xD

I hope they allow us to use samples to fast track a few weapon levels in the future. Also the weapon XP required from levels 20-25 is 27,000, compared to levels 1-19 which is only 21,000 - which is just crazy.

I could fast track levels but as a lvl150 max out samples still having stuff to grind is some how satisfying.

Ah yes, minmax the grind, nolife the game with zero fun involved and then complain about burnout and no content. Brilliant.

You can get level 20 in about 3 to 4 lvl 10 missions. Depending on the side objectives.

I was expecting this to exploit the hellbomb/seeker grenade kill count on eradicate missions. Basically, both of them give erroneously high kill counts, which advances the eradicate mission progress more than it should. You can speedrun eradicate missions that way and get a good amount of xp. Not sure it's faster than this though.

I look for missions in progress on the map and drop in those lol, the further along the better for truly speedrunning upgrades. Even then level 20+ feels like a slog since I only play 2-3 missions over the course of a day. Most of the guns are basically peaked by lvl 13 anyway, though.

Step 1: Eradicate bots or bugs mission.
Step 2: Pick corner of map and make a wall of sentries like machine gun, rocket, auto cannon, mortar, mines or AT emplacement.
Step 3: Enemies funnel into sentries while team stands behind them and takes out and heavies that get near. Sentries take out small fry and helldivers focus on the heavies.
Step 4: Hugs and chest bumps all around.
Step 5: DEMOCRACY

If you can find a high point, you can absolutely erase a ton of automaton fabricators from across the map with the AT emplacement. It's good for wiping secondary objectives, or on Blitz missions the primary.

For those that read this. There is a faster method. If you have the speaker gernades and portable hellbomb. All you need to do is bring those and load out to best utilize those two pieces of gear exactly.

Why? Because the kills with the sealer gernades and portable hellbombs are inflated... I kill for those weapons, is more so 4 because they count a 0 hp limb of a enemy a kill. Which generally makes a true kill with these weapons 4 times more useful. Which can make the game end 4 times faster.

If your team can coordinate whe. Best to use speaker gernades, great! Use the portable hellbomb to take out a factory striders even and what ever is nearby. Hell doe in the process to come back with more sealer gernades. The supply backpack wo
I'll be great for getting more sealer gernades, even more so if you hoard the resupply.

I'm usually able to get the bot 10 elimination done in a out 3 minutes with me doing this strategy while my teammates do there normal version of elimination killing. When it's done that fast. It's usually 1400 exp a mission that can be done in 3 minutes, and 2 minutes for setup. 16800 exp an hour possibly with this method.

Seaker gernades all the things.
Portable hellbomb the factory striders
The primary your leveling up, use for close quarters self defense.
Secondary, ultimatum for Hulk anti tank.

Watch your kill count high by throwing your seaker gernades high. And sore high after your mission to see your exp bars rise even higher!

If you do Blitz solo it is NOT worth extracting, the xp you get for the time it takes is not worth it. It's only worth if you play with a squad and all extract bc you get a bit of extra xp

Nope, Super helldives only 40 min mission. You'll lvl up 2-3 until you hit 20, then it'll take 3-4 Mission to lvl up one lvl.

Hi, how to disable the dreadful auto translation?

The reason blitz on "bots" as opposed to bugs is because you're only required to destroy 8-10 fabricators as opposed to bugs that can require 17

Great video, hadn't considered Blitz to be a good way to farm XP. I also didn't know the frag grenade has more capacity, nice tips!

If I can ask though, is there a reason you are still using wasd for stratagem inputs? I have found that setting them to the arrow keys allows you to run and input stratagems at the same time.

I spent a couple days after work to level up one of my smgs guess I wasn’t playing optimally

The ACTUALLY fastest and easiest method I´ve cooked up:

Illuminate Blitz - destroy ships
Thermite grenade
ammo backpack
light armor +2 grenades
MG + AC turrets to cover your back

Just run, don't stop for anything, and toss 1 nade per ship (make sure it sticks, sometimes they bounce away)
Play diff10´s , if you can't find Blitz, lower to 9 , 8 , 7 and when you finish check if you can find another 10 or switch planet
repeat

Bot Blitz + 4 men (4x extract bonus + 4x faster -> remaining time bonus) = win

Hotdrop on Fortress + 2-3 lasers
1-2x AT Emplacement on City Biomes
1-2x Eagle 500kg for Detector and Puppies
1-2x Portable Hellbomb for Jammers

A good team get insanly quick with that.

Recoilless Rifle and Anti Tank Emplacement will allow you to snipe fabricators from across the map

So essentially it’s how you leveled up to level 50 when the game came out☠️

Glad to see you doing some Helldivers videos! Love your DRG vids
