How To Earn Almost 1,000 XP Per Minute in HELLDIVERS 2

So, you wanna level up fast? Like really fast? Well I think I know a great farm for ya. A very easy one too. In this farm you’ll be earning roughly 1,400 XP and 5,000 requisition slips every mission, which each mission lasting 2-3 minutes if you’re quick. Lemme explain how to do this:

Part 1: Stratagems

First up, purchase the mortar sentry, this thing is absolutely BUSTED, and it’s gonna be the main meat and potatoes of this farm. You’ll also wanna get the rocket sentry and emp mortar but considering those are locked at level 15 and 20 respectively, I’ll just tell you to use the basic turret and gatling turret until you can unlock those. The autocannon is good too, so grab that once you reach the required level. Also, grab the orbital laser air strike, if you can’t get that yet, the default strike or orbital gatling barrage works too, also the eagle airstrike may work.

Part 2: The Mission

Once you have that set up, (the best loadout btw is the regular mortar sentry, the ems mortar sentry, the rocket sentry, and the orbital laser) you can now head to the automaton sector and look for any planets that are under a defensive operation.

Once you find a planet, look for an operation on the highest difficulty you have unlocked (The numbers I gave at the beginning are based on helldive difficulty) and find an operation with an “Eliminate the automatons” defensive mission, you can tell you’re looking at the right mission if the map is really small.

Part 3: Teammates

Find some people to join you, running the same things (The more mortars, the better) you can do this through sos beacon, lfg on discord, or just inviting some friends, up to you.

Part 4: Defenses Setup

Once you’ve got your team, and are in the mission, head to the area just in front of the big tower (if there isnt a big tower, then just the flat area that’s highest in elevation).

You want to place your mortars near the tower, then place any other non-mortar turrents on the edge of that platform, or a little bit ahead of it, this is to defend your mortars.

Part 5: MONEY

Kick back and profit. You’ll probably have to call in some air strikes on each side of the map every now and then, but its really not that big a deal. For maximum profit, kill enemies as quick as possible and make sure to extract as quick as possible with all team members alive.

FOR DEMOCRACY!!!

That’s pretty much it, if you have any questions or comments (or maybe ya know of an even better farm) lmk! I’ve only got around 20 hrs in the game at the time of posting this, but I’m a Destiny vet (10k+ hours) so I feel I picked up on it rather quick.

P.S: For weapons, the only viable primary I know of so far is the breaker, and for secondaries, use the machine pistol.
