Helldivers 2 is quickly becoming one of the most successful titles of 2024, having overtaken even Palworld<\/a> on the Steam top sellers list.<\/p>\n

Its unexpected surge of players has caused a few issues<\/a>, but we\u2019re hoping these will be ironed out soon. Many users<\/a> are having a great time after all. And if you\u2019re thinking of joining, you might be wondering what you\u2019re in for.<\/p>\n

More to the point, you might be concerned Helldivers 2<\/a> will be too much of a challenge.<\/p>\n

Luckily, it does have multiple difficulty settings to choose from.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at the choices, so you can make sure Helldivers 2 is an enjoyable experience, and your controller remains in one piece.<\/p>\n

How many Helldivers 2 difficulty levels are there?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Most games tend to settle with three difficulty settings \u2013 your typical easy, normal, and hard. Maybe with a very hard<\/em> type thrown in for those looking for a challenge.<\/p>\n

Helldivers 2, however, has\u00a0nine<\/em> difficulties.<\/p>

What are the Helldivers 2 difficulty levels? Full list and how to unlock<\/strong><\/h2>\n

So what are these nine difficulties? And how do we unlock them all? Firstly, let\u2019s take a look at all nine creatively titled difficulties:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Trivial<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Easy<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Medium<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Challenging<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Hard<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Extreme<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Suicide Mission<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Impossible<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Helldive<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Unlike a lot of games,\u00a0players must start off on Trivial<\/strong>. So even if you consider yourself a seasoned gamer, you can\u2019t jump straight into Challenging \u2013 or even Medium \u2013 but at the very beginning.<\/p>\n

    Trivial might be a bit boring, but you need to complete an operation at this level to unlock the easy. From there, you work your way up, unlocking the next difficulty level every time you beat your current one.<\/p>\n
