You\u2019ll encounter many of them in just about every Bot mission.<\/p> <p>The humanoid robots carry different weapons depending on what variety of Trooper they are. For your daily challenge\/Personal Order, you\u2019ll probably need to kill 20 (or whatever the number may be) of the same kind.<\/p>\n<p>The number you\u2019ve killed should be given via an in-game counter\/tracker, so you\u2019ll know which variety of Trooper you need to kill to complete the challenge.<\/p>\n<p>Now, how do you kill Troopers?<\/p>\n<p>[squirrel-affiliate-playlist squirrel_playlist_id=\u201d653\u2033 \/]<\/p>\n<h2><b>How to kill Troopers in Helldivers 2<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>To kill Troopers in Helldivers 2, you\u2019re best off <b>aiming for headshots <\/b>and <b>throwing grenades<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>Troopers are the weakest of the Automaton army, and should be easy to kill using just about any weapon you have to hand. Headshots and grenades are two known weaknesses of the Trooper, though.<\/p>\n<p>Alone, Troopers won\u2019t cause you much harm, but when they swarm in great numbers they can be more than a nuisance. It\u2019s always worth equipping a weapon and\/or stratagem that packs a punch.<\/p>\n<p>Essentially, though, killing 20 Troopers to complete a Personal Order shouldn\u2019t be much of a challenge \u2013 just be careful to not get overwhelmed by them, which can certainly happen on higher difficulties!<\/p>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/cdn.greenvideo.io\/players\/gv.js\" data-license-key=\"f0cf5e3e9068d9a4affa36d5c8962eaf1a0662ba\"\/> <div style=\"width:50%;min-height:100vh;overflow:hidden;aspect-ratio:16\/9;position:relative;\"> <style><![CDATA[ .gvtext1, .gvtext2 { animation-duration: 5s; animation-iteration-count: infinite; animation-direction: alternate; width:100%; } .gvtext1 { animation-name: gvtext1; } .gvtext2 { animation-name: gvtext2; } @keyframes gvtext1 { 0% { opacity: 1 } 47% { opacity: 1 } 50% { opacity: 0 } 100% { opacity: 0 } } @keyframes gvtext2 { 0% { opacity: 0 } 50% { opacity: 0 } 53% { opacity: 1 } 100% { opacity: 1 } } ]]><\/style> <div style=\"font-family:arial;font-size:smaller;position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;background:rgb(208, 208, 208);border-radius:30px;display:flex;text-align:center;align-items:center;\"> <div class=\"gvtext2\" style=\"position:absolute;\"> Green Video Post Element <br\/>Video ID: \"a6db6ba84c3f9b1228e1a54b3c7f2e5117e4dd82\" <br\/>Mix ID: \"\" <br\/>Player ID: \"Tw3-XowQ\" <\/div> <div class=\"gvtext1\" style=\"padding: 10px;\"> If the player doesn't appear here within a few seconds, the Player ID or Licence Key (set via IM Green Video settings) might be invalid. <\/div> <\/div> <green-video embed-id=\"Tw3-XowQ\" content-id=\"a6db6ba84c3f9b1228e1a54b3c7f2e5117e4dd82\" mix-id=\"\"\/>\n<\/div> <p><strong>Read more on Helldivers 2: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/helldivers-2-release-date\/\">Helldivers 2 release date<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/helldivers-2-player-count-sales\/\">Helldivers 2 player count<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/helldivers-2-server-status\/\">Helldivers 2 server status<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/helldivers-2-mech-explained\/\">Helldivers 2 mechs<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/helldivers-2-enemies-explained\/\">Helldivers 2 enemies<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/helldivers-2-stratagems\/\">Helldivers 2 stratagems<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/helldivers-2-difficulty-levels-explained\/\">Helldivers 2 difficulty levels<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/helldivers-2-trophy-guide-full-list\/\">Helldivers 2 trophies<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/helldivers-2-steam-deck-rickroll-newsupdate\/\">Helldivers 2 \u2018Rickroll\u2019 Steam Deck players<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/helldivers-2-solo-guide\/\">Helldivers 2 solo guide<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/helldivers-2-crossplay-multiplayer-platforms-explained\/\">Helldivers 2 crossplay<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/helldivers-2-xbox-exclusivity-explained\/\">Helldivers console exclusivity explained<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/helldivers-2-ps4-alternatives-explained\/\">Is Helldivers 2 on PS4?
