Helldivers 2sends elite soldiers of Super Earth to fight for liberty and diminish Terminids and Automatons' ruthless domination in the name of peace. The Automatons are more resilient than the bugs as they use ranged weapons, fire rockets, and even throw live grenades at you.
However, you are a proud elite soldier of Super Earth trained to overcome all insurmountable odds. While a live grenade does not pose a threat, when you have Hulks and Tanks in the field, you’re able to always toss back a live grenade and hit back. This action also unlocks the ‘Hot Potato!’ trophy or achievement.
How To Get The ‘Hot Potato!’ Trophy/Achievement
To unlock the How To Get The ‘Hot Potato!‘trophy or achievement, you need totoss back a live grenade thrown by an enemy at you.
Since theTerminids do not throw grenadesat you, the Automatons are the only faction where you will occasionally findTroopers, Raiders, and Marauders throwing grenades at you. It mostly happens if you maintain a certain distance and attack from range.
The difference between a grenade thrown by a helldiver and an Automaton grunt is that the latter’sgrenade glows red, making it very easy to spot the difference between the two.
When youget close to the glowing red grenade,press the “E” interact button, and your helldiver willthrow the grenade back quickly. This action will immediately unlock the ‘Hot Potato!’ trophy or achievement for you in the game.
There isno requirement for the ‘Hot Potato!’ trophy or achievement to hit or kill the bot that threw the grenadein the first place. All you need to do is toss it back and unlock the trophy or achievement.
This trophy or achievement may unlock naturally as you play the game. A lot happens during the heat of the battle, and one can always panic about a red glowing object being thrown. Luckily, all it takes is aone-button press to hurl back the live grenade and save your squadmatesfrom being blown up to pieces by a grenade.
