🪖 Missions & Difficulty
Mission counts, the three tough gold challenges, and mission-type trophies.
Hell Dive
GoldFull guideCollapseComplete an Extreme difficulty mission or higher without anyone dying.
Hell Dive
GoldFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Finish an Extreme (difficulty 6) or higher mission with zero deaths across the whole squad.
Tip
Play a low-objective mission type (Eradicate/short ops), take defensive stratagems (shield relay, sentries) and reinforcements, and prioritise staying alive over speed. Far easier as a coordinated 4-player team.
Hold my primary, I'm going in!
GoldFull guideCollapseComplete a full Hard difficulty mission or higher without anyone firing their primary or support weapon.
Hold my primary, I'm going in!
GoldFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Complete a full Hard+ mission where nobody fires their primary or support weapon — win with stratagems, sidearms, grenades and melee only.
Tip
Everyone brings eagles/orbitals/sentries and leans on the pistol and grenades. Do it on Hard (difficulty 5) — the lowest tier that qualifies — to keep enemy pressure down. Note the wording: your secondary, grenades and stratagems are all fair game, so a full sentry loadout carries the mission.
Gone in 360 seconds!
GoldFull guideCollapseComplete a full Extreme difficulty Blitz mission and extract in under 6 minutes.
Gone in 360 seconds!
GoldFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Beat an Extreme Blitz mission (destroy all nests/factories) and extract in under 6 minutes.
Tip
Blitz maps are compact. Run light armour + jump pack for speed, split the team to hit objectives simultaneously, and call extraction the moment the last objective pops.
Extractamundo!
SilverFull guideCollapseExtract with a full squad on a Hard difficulty or more mission.
Extractamundo!
SilverFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Extract with a full squad of 4 alive on a Hard+ mission. Just get all four onto the Pelican at the end.
Tip
All four players must be alive and aboard when the Pelican lifts off. Call extraction with time to spare and defend the zone together rather than chasing stragglers across the map.
Doing your part
SilverFull guideCollapseComplete at least 100 missions.
Doing your part
SilverFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Complete 100 missions (any difficulty). Pure grind — short low-difficulty missions count, so farm quick ops.
Tip
It counts missions, not operations. Short mission types on a low difficulty finish in a few minutes each — that's by far the quickest way to chip toward 100.
Patriot
BronzeFull guideCollapsePlay at least 50 missions.
Patriot
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Play 50 missions — you'll pass this well before Doing your part.
Tip
Comes automatically on the road to Doing your part (100 missions) — no separate effort needed.
Bot Scrapper
BronzeFull guideCollapsePlay 1 Bot Mission.
Bot Scrapper
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Play a single mission on the Automaton (bot) front.
Tip
Open the galactic map and pick any planet on the Automaton front. Even a Trivial mission counts.
Bug Stomper
BronzeFull guideCollapsePlay 1 Bug Mission.
Bug Stomper
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Play a single mission on the Terminid (bug) front.
Tip
Any Terminid planet, any difficulty — most players get this in their first session.
Extractinating the Countryside
BronzeFull guideCollapsePlay a planet defense mission.
Extractinating the Countryside
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Play a Defense mission type (defend/evacuate objective). They rotate into the galactic map regularly.
Tip
Defence missions rotate on and off the galactic map. If you can't see one, check back during an active defence campaign.
The Real Deal
BronzeFull guideCollapseComplete Basic Training.
The Real Deal
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Finish the tutorial (Basic Training) — the very first thing you do.
Tip
The tutorial — the game walks you into it the first time you boot up, so it's effectively automatic.
In the nick of time
BronzeFull guideCollapseExtract after the timer reaches zero.
In the nick of time
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Board the Pelican after the mission timer hits zero. Just linger until the clock runs out, then extract (extraction stays available).
Tip
Extraction stays available after the clock hits zero (you just lose the time bonus). Finish your objectives, deliberately wait the timer out, then board the Pelican.
Job's done!
BronzeFull guideCollapseComplete a mission but fail to extract.
Job's done!
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Complete all objectives but don't extract (die or let the shuttle leave without you). Objectives still count as complete.
Tip
Complete every objective, then simply don't board — let the shuttle leave or die at the end. Your finished objectives still bank the mission as complete.
They mostly come at night...
BronzeFull guideCollapseExtract from a mission during nighttime.
They mostly come at night...
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Extract from any mission that takes place at night. Pick a mission whose map shows nighttime.
Tip
Check the mission preview before launching — night maps are visibly dark. Stack it with whatever else you're farming.
