Since the drop of the Escalation of Freedom update and the Freedom’s Flame Warbond, the players have been divided over what to think. The first reviews of the update were terrible, but then some unexpected buffs sweetened the deal. As for the Warbond, most players claim it’s “mid at best”, while others were pleasantly surprised. Another polarizing topic arose – are the rewards for completing a mission on level 10 difficulty in Helldivers 2 just not worth the hustle?
Players Share What They Got for Completing Level 10 Missions
Many experienced players were super excited to try out Super Helldive, especially after the promotional video for the latest update. In the video, Pilestedt, the CCO, promised: “…If you managed to do so, there will be great rewards waiting for you”.
Well, the players aren’t thrilled with the devs’ definition of “great” rewards. One player, Huntardlulz, shared their disappointment with the rewards for Super Helldive. They noted: “Managed to extract with the egg on diff10 and was only rewarded with SIX SAMPLES?!?”. This player attached a picture showing they received only 2 Super Samples and 4 Rare Samples, for a total of 6.
Niradin explained why diving on level 10 just doesn’t pay out. They noted: “Since mega nest/factory takes 1/4 of a map, it will contain half as much PoI. That means you’ll have fewer Medals and Super Credits for clearing the difficulty 10 maps, in contrast to difficulty 9”.
Hundreds of Redditors supported this player, as they shared their experiences. They stated: “When the update first released, I’ve completed around 8 maps on difficulty 10. I ended up with 0 Super Credits, despite clearing the majority of PoI on every map”.
Helldivers 2 Community Offers Ideas for Better Rewards
Aside from the majority of Helldivers 2 players who claimed the rewards for clearing level 10 missions weren’t good enough, some helpful divers offered ideas on how to improve things. These players suggested lots of changes.
All Helldivers agree that getting more Super Credits would be more useful. MrJoemazing explained: “Adding Super Credits would make it at least always helpful. Even 25 Super Credits would still make it a much less efficient Super Credit farm than lower difficulties. But at least it would feel more rewarding”.
Lopataron suggested: “It should give a guaranteed super sample and a small % chance for a unique cosmetic like helmet, cape, or armor. That would be really exciting”. Broken-Digital-Clock added: “They really need to rethink the resources cap or start slow dripping new stratagems and ship upgrades”.
Honestly, we’d love to see some creative changes, maybe a new currency, or at least more diverse rewards. Level 10 difficulty isn’t probably the best for farming, but it’s understandable that the Helldivers 2 players still expect better rewards for their service to Super Earth. Are you satisfied with the current rewards, and what would you like to see changed?
