GameWikiHELLDIVERS™ 2 WIKI
Objective and extraction tactics
Move as a squad, communicate danger early, and keep a safe route after each objective.
THE GUIDE
What to do and why
Use short callouts
Name the direction, enemy type, and intended action. “Armor north, moving left” is easier to use than several overlapping warnings. Tell the squad when a strike or resupply is incoming.
Finish interactions under cover
When one player uses a terminal, others should watch approaches rather than cluster on the same point. Clear a path to the next location before everyone commits to the objective area.
Prepare extraction early
Check remaining time, ammunition, and reinforcements before starting the final move. Regroup, call supplies where safe, and avoid turning a completed mission into an unnecessary last fight.
