To enhance your gameplay in Helldivers 2, collecting Super Credits is crucial for purchasing Warbonds and new armor from the Superstore. You can acquire these credits by finding them during missions or purchasing them with real money. While the first method depends on chance and may take some time, it’s cost-free. However, if you want to maximize your credit collection during missions, especially with friends, there’s an effective farming strategy to consider. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to find and farm Super Credits in Helldivers 2.
How to Obtain Super Credits in Helldivers 2
You can find Super Credits in Helldivers 2 by looting sealed pods, locked containers, and bunkers located at Minor Points of Interest throughout the maps. These credits are always grouped in piles of 10, meaning you’ll need to collect 100 piles to amass the 1,000 Super Credits required for a Warbond.
Once you collect Super Credits during a mission, they’re immediately added to your account and your teammates’ accounts, so there’s no need for everyone to gather them. Additionally, you don’t have to carry or extract the credits to use them, unlike other resources in the game.
Your other options for obtaining Super Credits in Helldivers 2 include unlocking them through Warbonds using your Medals, or purchasing them directly with real money in the Acquisitions Center. Each premium Warbond grants you 300 Super Credits (divided into three piles of 100). If you prefer to buy credits, you can get 1,000 SC for $9.99/£7.99, which can cover one Warbond or a few armor items.
Optimal Super Credits Farming Technique in Helldivers 2
If you’re looking to gather Super Credits for your next purchase of a Warbond or armor set from the Superstore, the most efficient approach is to repeatedly complete Trivial difficulty missions. Try to finish the main objective quickly, then explore the map for Minor Points of Interest to loot Super Credits before extracting.
The smaller size of Trivial maps makes looting quicker, and having at least one teammate will increase your speed as you can cover more area more efficiently. An additional player also enables you to access bunkers that require two control panels, which often lead to better loot opportunities as they usually have three slots, compared to two for locked containers and one for sealed pods.
You’ll find that in Trivial mode, these points of interest are usually unguarded, allowing you to loot with little resistance. While exploring, you may also come across Medals, Requisition Slips, and Common Samples. However, keep in mind that this farming method yields minimal XP, making it unsuitable for those wanting to level up fast in the game. There was a glitch that allowed players to restart missions to farm credits repeatedly, but this has been fixed.
What Can You Use Super Credits For in Helldivers 2?
Once you’ve gathered some Super Credits, you can spend them on Warbonds and exclusive armor available in the Superstore through the Acquisition Center when on your Destroyer. Below is a list of what you can spend your Super Credits on. If you’re aiming for a specific Warbond, we have a guide on the best Warbonds available in Helldivers 2:
Keep in mind that after purchasing a Warbond with Super Credits, you’ll need to spend Medals to unlock the items contained within that Warbond. Additionally, Warbonds often include Super Credits, making them a useful investment toward obtaining other gear. The free Helldivers Mobilize Warbond offers 700 Super Credits, while each premium Warbond holds 300 SC each.
The Superstore features two helmets and two body armor sets at a time, but the selection changes every few days. These exclusive armor pieces can only be bought at the Superstore and are not part of the Warbonds. If you spot something appealing, it’s a good idea to quickly farm some Super Credits to secure it before it’s no longer available.
