Player plays with a high difficulty for the first time and is surprised at the skill of the randoms

In Helldivers 2 there are a total of 9 different difficulty levels on which you can plunge into the galactic war against robots or beetles. In some cases, new enemies or missions are added on these levels of difficulty that will put your skills to the test. One player was amazed at how professionally the Helldivers act on higher levels of difficulty.

Why was the player surprised? The player “Diabolical_Jazz” reports in a post on Reddit that he played for the first time on level 7, a higher level of difficulty. He usually travels with his co-op friends at lower levels.

Now, while playing with random players, he realized how much better the players at level 7 were. They marked targets, avoided enemy patrols, and generally communicated:

Nobody told me about difficulty level 7 and how much better the players are. […]

After I unlocked 7, the people there were like pros. It was a big difference. Everyone was relaxed and did a good job. People mark targets or mark patrols they want to avoid, they use the little ‘yes, no, sorry and thank you’ sayings and are generally communicative.

Why didn’t anyone tell me this? I’m having a much better time now. I may never lower the difficulty.

In contrast, reports “Diabolical_Jazz”, it was pure chaos at level 6. Everyone fired at every enemy patrol, splitting up in different directions in an uncoordinated manner and killing themselves with orbital attacks.

The level where the hardcore Helldivers relax

What makes level 7 special? In the comments on Reddit, many players say that level 7 in particular is ideal because it is comparatively easy to master compared to levels 8 and 9 and offers hardly any fewer rewards.

Accordingly, Helldivers who could also manage 8 or 9 play at level 7 if they just want to play in a relaxed manner and have fun or collect over-samples. At the same time, the difference to level 6 is so great that some players who are not suitable for the high levels of difficulty simply stay away.

  • FiTroSky: “I tried 8-9 and other than more difficulty it doesn’t offer much more reward. So yeah, 7 it is: the easy mode of the hard mode.”
  • Fragrant_Reward3983: “It could be that level 7 is the limit for many people. Many players who can do a Helldive play 7 for a more relaxing time, farming samples. Additionally, some people are excluded by the difficulty jump, which also results in a higher skill average.”
  • Ghostbuster_119: “7 is optimal in my opinion. Fun enough to actually fight, you don’t have to jump on the meta bandwagon, and you still get over samples.”

    • At difficulty level 7 you can not only find over-tests for improving your ship, but also lots of strong opponents. Whether strikers or hulks, acid titans or factory walkers – you should definitely pack the right equipment.

    In addition to the right weapons, tactical equipment plays a crucial role here. In our tier list you can see which stratagems are best: Helldivers 2: Tier list for the best equipment – all stratagems at a glance
