Let's take a look at the choices, so you can make sure Helldivers 2 is an enjoyable experience, and your controller remains in one piece.
How many Helldivers 2 difficulty levels are there?
Most games tend to settle with three difficulty settings – your typical easy, normal, and hard. Maybe with a very hard type thrown in for those looking for a challenge.
Helldivers 2, however, has nine difficulties.
What are the Helldivers 2 difficulty levels? Full list and how to unlock
So what are these nine difficulties? And how do we unlock them all? Firstly, let's take a look at all nine creatively titled difficulties:
- Trivial
- Easy
- Medium
- Challenging
- Hard
- Extreme
- Suicide Mission
- Impossible
- Helldive
Unlike a lot of games, players must start off on Trivial. So even if you consider yourself a seasoned gamer, you can't jump straight into Challenging – or even Medium – but at the very beginning.
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.
