How to Farm Super Credits Fast in Helldivers 2 (Free Method for Patch 7.2)

Super Credits are Helldivers 2's premium currency. They buy Premium Warbonds, Legendary Warbonds and Superstore gear, and you can pay real money for them. You don't have to, though. Super Credits also drop on the battlefield, and with the right routine you can earn a new Warbond's worth in a few evenings.

With the Scope of Authority Warbond out since October 20, plenty of players are looking for 1,000 Super Credits. This guide covers the fastest free method. It's correct for the current version of the game, patch 7.2 (Devoid of Liberty 7.2.0 and its hotfixes). None of the recent patches changed how Super Credits drop.

What you need

How Super Credits work

• Where they spawn: Super Credits show up as loot at minor points of interest. These are crashed escape pods, cargo containers with blue or orange doors you have to blow open, and underground bunkers.
• How much: Almost every pickup is a stack of 10. Rare stacks of 100 also exist.
• When they count: Super Credits are added to your account the moment you pick them up. You don't have to extract, finish the objective or even survive. That's what makes the farm work.
• Warbond rewards: Premium Warbonds contain 100 Super Credits per page, 300 in total, so buying one and working through it pays back part of the cost.

Why Trivial is the best difficulty

On low difficulties, enemies barely threaten you and you can run between points of interest freely. On higher difficulties, Rare Samples and Super Samples join the loot pool at those same spots and compete with Super Credits for the loot slots. Higher difficulties pay better in samples and XP, but not in Super Credits. Trivial gives you quick, low-risk runs and a loot table that favors what you're after.

Step-by-step: the Trivial farm

1. Set the difficulty to Trivial. Choose any planet. A map with open terrain is easiest to sweep quickly.
2. Bring a door opener. Cargo container doors need explosives or heavy damage. A Laser Cannon or any explosive works.
3. Drop and ignore the main objective. You're not here for mission rewards.
4. Head for points of interest. Open the map often and work toward the nearest unexplored point of interest, checking anything that looks like a crashed pod, container or bunker along the way.
5. Loot everything. Interact with escape pods, blow open containers and clear bunkers. Look on the ground around each spot for the small Super Credit pickups.
6. Sweep the whole map. Work outward in a loop so you don't backtrack.
7. Abandon the mission. Once the map is cleared, open the menu and choose Abandon Mission. Your Super Credits are already safe.
8. Repeat. Start a new Trivial mission and do it again.

Bunkers: worth the effort

Bunkers are the best loot spots, often with three item spawns inside. They're also the hardest to open: the doors need two players pressing the panels at the same time. That's why a duo is the sweet spot for farming.

If you're solo, you have one known workaround. The Warp Pack can carry you through the door. Otherwise, skip bunkers and spend the time on pods and containers.

Tips

• Team up. A friend opens bunkers and covers more ground. Split the map and each take a direction.
• Play while you farm. If you also want Medals, finish the objective and extract instead of abandoning. Medals go toward Warbond unlocks, which carry their own Super Credit rewards.
• Spend your Medals. The Medal wallet is capped at 250, and anything over the cap is lost. Unlock Warbond items regularly.
• Finish Warbonds you already own. Every Premium Warbond page holds 100 Super Credits. If you have half-finished Warbonds, completing them is the easiest Super Credit income in the game.

Common mistakes

• Farming on high difficulties. More enemies and more competing loot means fewer Super Credits per hour.
• Waiting to extract. There's no need. Super Credits are locked in when you pick them up.
• Skipping the ground search. Super Credits are small. Look around every pod and container before moving on.
• Relying on exploits. Old tricks like reloading a save or quitting and rejoining to reset a map have been patched. Stick to the honest loop.
• Letting Medals pile up. Anything over 250 Medals is wasted.

How long does it take?

It depends on luck, squad size and how fast you move. Community reports put a focused Trivial farm in the low hundreds of Super Credits per hour, and a coordinated duo or squad clearing bunkers can do noticeably better. For a 1,000 Super Credit Premium Warbond like Scope of Authority, plan on a few sessions. You'll get 300 back as you work through its pages.

Legendary Warbonds, such as the crossover ones, cost 1,500 Super Credits instead so budget an extra session or two for those.
