SilverFull guideCollapseExtract with at least 15 rare samples from a mission as a team.
Samples are a diver's best friend
SilverFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Extract with 15 rare (pink) samples as a team. Higher difficulties (7+) have more rare samples — collect and pool them, then extract.
Tip
Rare (pink) samples get much more common from the middle difficulties up, and cluster around points of interest. Samples drop when you die, so pool them on one player and hand them over before pushing a risky fight.
That which does not kill you...
SilverFull guideCollapseBe injured in all limbs at the same time.
That which does not kill you...
SilverFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Have every limb injured simultaneously. Let weak enemies chip you (don't heal) until all limbs show injured — small bugs are perfect for this.
Tip
Let small chip damage land and don't stim. A low-difficulty bug mission is perfect — a few small bugs will injure each limb in turn without actually killing you.
Fully operational
SilverFull guideCollapseReach max rank on one ship module.
Fully operational
SilverFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Fully upgrade one ship module to max. Focus samples on a single module (e.g., an orbital or hangar upgrade) rather than spreading them.
Tip
Max one module rather than spreading samples thin. Pick one you'd want anyway (weapon damage or hangar/eagle upgrades) and pour everything into it.
Ship it!
BronzeFull guideCollapseUpgrade all ship modules at least 1 level.
Ship it!
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Put at least one upgrade level into every ship module — a broad requisition/sample sink over time.
Tip
The broad one — every module needs a single level, so it's a steady sample sink. Loot samples on every mission and this fills in over time.
Science is done by quantity
BronzeFull guideCollapseExtract with at least 15 common samples.
Science is done by quantity
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Extract with 15 common (green) samples — easy on any mid mission where you sweep the map.
Tip
Common (green) samples are scattered everywhere. Sweep the points of interest as you cross the map and one thorough run clears 15 easily.
Democracy ain't done with you yet
BronzeFull guideCollapseHeal another player using stims.
Democracy ain't done with you yet
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Stim a teammate — aim a stim at an injured squadmate and use it on them.
Tip
Aim the stim at a wounded teammate and use it on them rather than yourself. Easiest right after a firefight when someone's limping.
Promote Synergy
BronzeFull guideCollapseProvide assisted reload for a teammate.
Promote Synergy
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Give a teammate an assisted (backpack) reload — grab their support-weapon backpack and reload it for them.
Tip
Needs a backpack-fed support weapon (Recoilless Rifle, Autocannon, Spear). Stand behind the carrier and interact with their backpack to load it — it's much faster than their solo reload, so teammates are happy to help.
Strapping young lad
BronzeFull guideCollapseCustomize your Helldiver with new cape, armor, and helmet.
Strapping young lad
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Equip a new cape, armour and helmet from the Armory. Buy/unlock some and swap all three.
Tip
All three slots must change — cape, armour and helmet. Cheap unlocks from the Armory are fine; just make sure none of the three is your starting kit.
Cool guys don't loo- AAAAH!
BronzeFull guideCollapseFly at least 25 meters from the shockwave of an explosion.
Cool guys don't loo- AAAAH!
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Get launched 25m by an explosion. Stand near a Hellbomb or big blast and let the shockwave ragdoll you across the ground.
Tip
Stand near (not on top of) a Hellbomb or a big fuel tank and let the blast fling you. You want the ragdoll — no need to brace.
Hold My Liber-tea!
BronzeFull guideCollapseWhile using a jump pack, knock yourself into a ragdoll state.
Hold My Liber-tea!
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
With the Jump Pack equipped, ragdoll yourself — boost into terrain/a wall or off a height so you tumble.
Tip
Equip the Jump Pack, then boost into a rock face or off a ledge at an angle — the awkward landing ragdolls you.
