As you fight your way up intohigher difficulties, you will start getting Tactical and Secondary Objectives to find and complete inHelldivers 2. These optional quests award in more experience points andRequisition Slips, so they’re worth tracking down. Here’s how to find them.
Tactical Objectives are optional objectives your team can complete for additional awards. They’ll appear as part of your Briefing strategy as blue icons on a mission map. Secondary Objectives are additional Tactical targets that appear once you touch down. They’ll also appear as blue icons, but only on your mini-map as you get near them during the mission.
Keep in mind that you won’t always be able to see a clear map ahead of the mission.
Other ways to find Secondary Objectives inHelldivers 2
Secondary Objectives don’t all show up on the map. The Tactical Objective appears during the Briefing segment, allowing you to track it directly on the mini-map once you’re in the game. But you should explore the area fully to discover more objectives.
It pays to be thorough. I started a mission recently that had me destroy a research station as a Tactical Objective. But just around the corner was a Terminid Spore Spewer. Suddenly, I had more meat on the menu.
Rushing through the Main Objectives typically is a quick way to get some cash and experience, but mission timers can be fairly long.If you have 40 minutes, don’t let it go to waste.
When you’re near a Secondary Objective, you’ll see the icon you need to follow show up on the compass near the top of the screen.
The game will tell you how to complete the objective once you’re close enough.
What kind of Secondary Objectives are there?
Tactical and Secondary Objective types are varied. Some will have you blow a thing up. In those cases, you can usean orbital Stratagemand call down a Hellbomb. An objective may have you upload the data of an escape pod, while another will task you with powering on a radar station that reveals map details.
No matter what Secondary Objectives you’re given, completing them offers rewards at the end of a mission. You can earn a good chunk of additional experience points and Requisition Slips, so it’s certainly within your interest to seek them out.
