Bronze Achievements
Join the Army they said
Simply complete a mission.




The Helldiver's new clothes
Customize your character by visiting the armory located to the left of your ship. Simply modify something on your Helldiver, such as your helmet.



That which doesn't kill you, scars you for life
Complete the tutorial.




You're it until you die or I find someone better
Reach level 7. You will need 7,043 XP to achieve this rank.




Meet interesting people they said
Complete at least one mission against each enemy race (Bugs, Cyborgs, Illuminate). Ensure you complete a mission in each region to accomplish this.



See the Galaxy they said
Play missions on a desert, forest, and snow planet. Simply playing the game for a short time will unlock this achievement. You can distinguish between the planets by their distinct colors.



Brothers in Arms
Play with other people online by accessing the panel located at the bottom of your ship, which leads to online matchmaking.



I'm no Zoologist, but how do you classify a 20 foot tentacle?
Encounter each new enemy type at least once. The three enemies you'll face are The Impaler (Bug), The Hound (Cyborg), and The Obelisk (Illuminate). Playing on higher difficulty levels can help you spot these enemies more easily.


Nothing is hotter than a cup of Liber-Tea
Complete a volcanic type planet with a difficulty level of 5 or higher. You can identify a volcanic planet by its distinct red color and flowing lava.



When the wrong tools do the job, are they still wrong?
Destroy a Bug Nest, Cyborg AA, or Illuminate Beacon using anything except the NUX-223 Hellbomb. You can utilize a Thunderer Barrage, Shredder Missile Strike, or RL-112 Recoilless Rifle, among other stratagems capable of achieving the same.


Dancing Queen
Perform 25 capespins consecutively, without moving, while on the ship bridge. Avoid stopping or it will reset, requiring you to start over.



Make Frank kill a Tank!
Eliminate a Bug Tank, Bug Behemoth, or Cyborg IFV by luring them under the extraction shuttle as it lands. Play on a higher difficulty level, then hold out at extraction and use Static Field Conductors to immobilize them in place as the shuttle descends.


Knock-knock, who's there? DEMOCRACY!
Eliminate an Illuminate Obelisk while it is closed. The most effective method to achieve this is to call down a stratagem on it, such as resupply.



Which seat can I take?
In a 4-player game, on a Friday, have all players sitting in an APC or HAV simultaneously. This achievement is easily obtained if you have three other friends. If you don't have friends online, you can always ask other players to join you.


Stick it to the Man!
While in melee range from a Cyborg Warlord, use the "NO" communication command by pressing F2. I recommend doing this in a private game with a friend so you can be revived more easily.
Sliver Achievements
Now that is what I would call a multi-kill!
Eliminate 7 enemies within a very short time using only your primary weapon. I recommend using a gun with a wide spread, such as the Breaker. Play on a lower difficulty and group up mobs for efficiency.


Don't you just hate escort missions?
Successfully complete an escort objective where all 4 NPCs survive. Just ensure that all NPCs remain alive. It's as easy as that.


Next time we meet, I'll probably have to salute you
Achieve the rank of Captain (Rank 13). It will take 39,349 xp to reach rank 13.


No man left behind
Extract from a mission with a difficulty level of 8 or higher, with 4 players, where all 4 players board the shuttle. Simply ensure that everyone boards the shuttle. It's pretty simple.


Liberating the countryside
Complete all missions on a planet with a difficulty of 10 or higher. You will need to complete all missions on the planet at this higher difficulty level. It's pretty easy when done in a group.


Spreading Managed Democracy
Participate in a successful final assault on an enemy's home planet by completing at least one mission. This achievement depends on the community, but it is relatively easy to obtain. Simply complete a mission on the home world of any sector.


Defender of Humanity
Take part in a successful defense of a capital city by completing at least one mission. This achievement occurs when the community is losing the war. Look for a planet positioned above the others and complete one of its missions to contribute to a successful defense.


A molehill of corpses
Defeat 10,000 enemies. Simply continue playing the game.


Resisting democracy is futile!
Defeat a Cyborg Siegemech. I would recommend to go online and join others playing this mission. If you make a party, you will need to use 50 influence points. Best way to kill it is by using 4 thunder barrage or 4 antitank mines. Just spam either one and run around.


They call me Mr. Danmaku
Complete a mission against the Cyborgs with a difficulty of 7 or higher without taking damage from any enemy. I recommend playing with friends or others to achieve this. Alternatively, you could join a nearly completed game and board the shuttle.


Back in time for dinner
Complete a mission with a difficulty of 4 or higher in 5 minutes or less. During the mission, consider skipping objectives to save time; for instance, eliminate NPCs you would usually escort or destroy defend objectives. Additionally, use Cardio Accelerator to move faster.


Add that one to the fossil record!
Defeat a Bug Hive Lord. It's advisable to play with friends or online players. If you're forming a party, you'll need to use 50 influence points. I recommend using demolishers or EAT-17s along with air support to deal with the Impalers. Equip the displacement field perk for added survivability.


Never give up, never surrender
Use the Reinforce Stratagem while downed and being the last Helldiver alive on a difficulty 8 or higher mission with 4 players. The easiest method involves having three other players die, then activating the reinforce stratagem and holding it in your hands. Once an enemy downs you, simply throw the stratagem.


It didn't SEE that coming!
To defeat an Illuminate Great Eye, it's best to play with friends or online players. Forming a party will require spending 50 influence points. I recommend using 4 air offensive stratagems and selecting stratagem priority as your perk.


It's raining Hell, hallelujah!
To complete a mission using only Stratagems, the easiest method is to join a nearly completed mission, activate a stratagem, and quickly board the shuttle. Alternatively, equip the stratagem priority perk and utilize 4 'Vindicator' Dive Bombs.


80% of the time, I hit every time
To complete a mission with over 300 shots fired and 80% accuracy or better, utilize an accurate weapon and only shoot when you are certain you will hit something.


The element of Supplies
To kill a Bug Tank with a Resupply Stratagem Hellpod, I recommend using Static Field Conductors to slow the Bug Tank before deploying your resupply stratagem.


Solid Stealth Execution
To complete a difficulty 7 or higher mission without triggering any alarms, a certain level of skill is required. I achieved this by soloing a mission using 3 Distractor Beacons and a resupply stratagem, with stratagem priority as my perk. While it's possible to accomplish this with other players, it may prove more challenging.


Why wasn't this standard issue?
Fully upgrade all non-DLC Weapons and Stratagems. You can achieve this by simply playing and grinding for samples. For a quicker completion, consider purchasing the Ranger DLC to unlock the UAV, which reveals all samples on the map.
Gold Achievements
Royal Roadkill
Eliminate a Bug or Illuminate assassination target by running it over with the APC or HAV. Simply hop onto one of the vehicles and continuously drive into the assassination target. Upgrading your vehicle and opting for the HAV is recommended as it is more durable, making the task much easier.


Peace and prosperity reigns again
Complete at least one planet in a successful Galactic Campaign. To accomplish this, finish all missions on the planet. Once done, you'll see the reward screen. Additionally, for the community to achieve success, Super Earth must conquer every sector.


Hell dive
Complete a mission with a difficulty level of 10 or higher without experiencing a single death. One simple method is to join a mission that is nearly completed and board the shuttle. Another approach is to play with other players, staying behind them and exercising caution.

A shining inspiration to us all!
Achieve the rank of Grand Lord (Rank 25). You will need 774,367 XP to reach rank 25.



Making mountains out of molehills
Kill 100,000 enemies. This achievement requires a significant amount of grinding. I recommend heading to an easier planet equipped with the LAS-13 'Trident' Shotgun and focusing on grinding. Alternatively, you can opt for AFK grinding. The first method involves using the AD-334 Guard Dog and Heavy Armor, then simply AFK on difficulty 1. The second method, credited to EternalVids, entails selecting an easy planet (difficulty 1 or 2), getting into an M5-32 HAV, and setting up a macro to drive in circles near a capture point. For both methods, remember to go offline to avoid disconnection and potential loss of progress.
How To Kill Hive Lord
This guide will teach you how to effectively kill each boss, whether solo or with a party. Stratagems and weapons should be at the maximum level. The methods below can be used in a party or solo.



Hive Lord (Bug Boss)


Method 1


Perk: Displacement Field or Stratagem Priority
Weapon:Any primary weapon
Stratagems: 3 EAT-17, LIFT-850 Jump Pack

The first step is to acquire your jetpack. Next, set up the area with numerous EAT-17s. When you're prepared to activate the boss, begin blasting it with EAT-17s. The key is to damage the boss while staying mobile to avoid being cornered.

Method 2


Perk: Displacement Field or Stratagem Priority
Weapon:Any primary weapon
Stratagems: 3 M-25 Rumbler, LIFT-850 Jump Pack,

The first step is to acquire your jetpack. Then, deploy your M-25 Rumbler. When you're ready to activate the boss, start spraying with your M-25 Rumbler. The key is to damage the boss while staying mobile to avoid being cornered. However, be aware that reloading the M-25 Rumbler will leave you vulnerable. Ideally, having an ally with a resupply pack will allow you to continue attacking without being idle during reloading.
How To Kill Great Eye
This guide will teach you how to effectively defeat each boss, either solo or with a party. Ensure that your stratagems and weapons are at their maximum level. The methods outlined below can be employed in either a party or solo setting.















Great Eye (Illuminate Boss)


Method 1


Perk: Displacement Field or Stratagem Priority
Weapon: LAS-16 Sickle, MG-105 Stalwart, AR-20L Justice, AR-14D Paragon
Stratagems: Incendiary Bombs, Triple Thunderer Barrage

Begin by locating a corner and calling down Incendiary Bombs to block off the area in front of you. The second step is straightforward: continuously spam Thunderer Barrage onto the boss and repeat this process.
How To Kill Siege Mech
This guide will teach you how to effectively defeat each boss, either solo or with a party. Ensure that your stratagems and weapons are at their maximum level. The methods outlined below can be employed in either a party or solo context.















Siege Mech


Method 1

Perk: All terrain Boots or Stratagem Priority
Weapon:LAS-5 Scythe, LAS-16 Sickle, LAS-12 Tanto, LAS-13 Trident
Stratagems: 4 Triple Thunderer Barrage, LIFT-850 Jump Pack

For those who don't own all-terrain boots, you will need the LIFT-850 Jump Pack. The first step is to call down the LIFT-850 Jump Pack if you do not own all-terrain boots. The second step is to stack all of your Triple Thunderer Barrages in one spot, then lure the boss towards it. If done properly, it should take half or more of the boss's health away. Make sure to destroy the gun turrets the boss places down since they will prevent you from using your stratagems. Just repeat the process until you defeat it.

Method 2

Perk: All terrain Boots or Stratagem Priority
Weapon:LAS-5 Scythe, LAS-16 Sickle, LAS-12 Tanto, LAS-13 Trident
Stratagems: 4 Airdropped Anti-Tank Mines, LIFT-850 Jump Pack

For those without all-terrain boots, you'll need the LIFT-850 Jump Pack. The first step is to call down the LIFT-850 Jump Pack if you lack all-terrain boots. The second step is to stack 3 or 4 Airdropped Anti-Tank Mines, then lure the boss towards them. This method takes slightly longer than the first. Ensure to destroy the gun turrets the boss places down, as they'll hinder your stratagem usage. Overall, keep laying down mines and moving in circles to succeed.
Sample Grinding With UAV Solo
Maximize the upgrades for your weapons and stratagems to grind efficiently. Play on difficulty levels 4-6; it should take about 5 minutes, yielding 7-12+ samples depending on the difficulty. If you're comfortable with a greater challenge, try playing on difficulty level 12. This will take approximately 10 minutes, but you'll earn 22 samples. Remember, when sample grinding, failing objectives can reduce mission completion time. Below are the recommended setups for each sector.

Bugs

Perk: Cardio Accelerator
Weapon: AR-19 Liberator, AR-14D Paragon, SG-225 Breaker
Stratagems: EAT-17, Distractor Beacon, Resupply, UAV

Cyborgs
Perk: Cardio Accelerator
Weapon: AR-20L Justice, AR-22C Patriot, SG-225 Breaker, AR-14D Paragon, PLAS-1 Scorcher,

Weapon: SG-225 Breaker, AR-22C Patriot, LAS-13 Trident only if maxed

我没办法完成 roadkill这个成就,看上去是个bug。陷入了死局
COSMOS94 18 Jul, 2023 @ 3:57am 
The last 2 silver achievements don't have the name of their achievements
synister 5 Feb, 2017 @ 11:23am 
A/MG-II Minigun Turret doesn't work too well against the Illuminate because it can't target the cloaked observers and Hunters can hit the turrets outside of the turrets range.
Imre 31 Jan, 2017 @ 4:13pm 
Shredder Missile works fine for destroying a closed Obelisk for 'Knock-knock, who's there? DEMOCRACY!', so no need to snipe it with a resupply, just lob it at it and it's killed off-screen.

Thank you for pointing this out to me, I will add it as soon as possible.:happymeat:

A gold achievement "Royal Roadkill" is missing in this guide
Da'Nutz 19 Jan, 2017 @ 11:50pm 
For "80% of the time, I hit every time" a lame way of doing it would be to call in a apc and shoot it with a machine gun (it takes no damage if you hit it in the front) ... think the borg aa guns / bug nests also count as hits and you will never be able to kill them with normal bullets -> just shoot a lot of bullets :D
kdVICE 14 Jan, 2017 @ 7:15pm 
true but if your starting the mission just to get the achivement this trick can be usable
