Missions

Missions are the primary playable content in Helldivers 2. Up to four players can participate in the same mission as a Squad, and upon completing the Main Objective(s) (highlighted in orange) can proceed to the Extraction Point for extraction.  Missions are primarily accessed through the Galactic Map and are PvE (Player vs Environment) only. There is no PvP content in Helldivers 2.

There are 25 types of missions in Helldivers 2. Each mission has a Main Objective, which (at higher levels) can be broken down in to sub-objectives for players to complete (except in Blitz: Search and Destroy and Eradicate missions). Each mission also has optional Tactical Objectives and Enemy Outposts (highlighted in blue and red respectfully) that players can complete which will provide additional XP and Requisition Slips (except in Eradicate Missions).

Missions are grouped together to form and Operation successfully completing and operation will reward players with additional Medals as well War Impact.
