Samples
Samples are the upgrade resources for Ship Modules in Helldivers 2. They allow helldivers to make Stratagems more potent.
How to get Samples[edit | edit source]
Samples are collected on a missions. They are scattered around the map, but usually located next to the Mission Objectives and enemy Camps. Helldivers need to pick up samples by hand and they will be carried in their inventory until extraction or death.
If helldiver dies, samples will fall on the ground, will be marked on the map and will emit light glow and play distress signal sound when helldiver is nearby.
Samples are shared for the entire team, so it doesnt matter if 1 helldiver will get all the samples and extract. In any case all extracted samples will be awarded to each player in the squad.
That makes it important to have at least 1 survivor with as many samples as possible on the extraction.
Sample types[edit | edit source]
Currently there are 3 types of samples in Helldivers 2:
Common Samples[edit | edit source]
Common Samples are the easiest ones to obtain. They are available at difficulty 1 (Trivial) and higher.
Rare Samples[edit | edit source]
Rare Samples are less common and the amount of those per map is lower than on the Common Samples. They are available at difficulty 4 (Challenging) and higher.
Super Samples[edit | edit source]
Super Samples are actually hard to find, since helldivers can only find them next to the special structures, and you cant get more than 4 per mission. They are available at difficulty 7 (Suicide Mission) and higher.
