How to Unlock All Difficulty Levels
There are nine difficulty levels in Helldivers 2, which might seem like a lot for many players. But Helldivers 2 puts in an interesting challenge for players to unlock all the difficulty levels to complete different challenges or earn a trophy.
You must complete the mission on the previous difficulty to unlock the next difficulty level. To put it in simpler terms, the default difficulty is Trivial, so to unlock the next difficulty, which is Easy, you must complete the mission on Trivial difficulty. This continuous process continues up to the last difficulty level. Here’s an overview of how to unlock all difficulty levels in Helldivers 2:
- Trivial – Default Difficulty level
- Easy – Unlock after completing the mission on Trivial Difficulty
- Medium – Unlock after completing the mission on Easy Difficulty
- Challenging – Unlock after completing the mission on Medium Difficulty
- Hard – Unlock after completing the mission on Challenging Difficulty
- Extreme – Unlock after completing the mission on Hard Difficulty
- Suicide Mission – Unlock after completing the mission on Extreme Difficulty
- Impossible – Unlock after completing the mission on Suicide Mission Difficulty
- Helldive – Unlock after completing the mission on Impossible Difficulty
While unlocking so many difficulty levels might seem hard, you’ll find it fairly easier than other games due to the interesting level design on almost all missions in Helldivers 2.
