Frequently asked questions
Can you play Helldivers 2 solo?
Yes, but it's tougher. Solo, prioritize mobility and a reliable anti-tank stratagem (Quasar); drop one difficulty tier compared to your team level.
Which difficulty farms best?
Helldive (10) with a coordinated team for the best ratio. Solo, Suicide Mission (7) offers a good risk/reward balance.
