There are many missions you’ll undertake as a soldier for Super Earth inHelldivers 2, and they are each incredibly important to liberating planets. Whether you’re destroying Bile Titans and Factory Striders or evacuating researchers and civilians, every operation is an opportunity to spread democracy for Super Earth.
Raising the flag is a simple, yet vital mission. Defending a planet is just as important as spreading democracy to showcase the might of Super Earth. New Helldivers will likely encounter these missions before exploring harder difficulties. Here’s everything you need to know to raise the flag, spread democracy, and extract safely!
Understanding The Mission Design
For this mission, your goal is toraise the Super Earth flagin enemy territory. You’ll onlyfind this mission on lower difficulties, specifically the first two, and it’s perfect for just starting outafter completing your training.
Trivial difficulty involves one flag on a small map, but higher difficulties involve several flags.
Once you land on the planet’s surface, you’ll need to make your way to the objective area. Use the availableSuper Earth Flag stratagemto call down the required equipment for the mission.
The flag will land and begin rising immediately. Ittakes 100 seconds (almost two minutes)to fully raise the flag, and there’s no additional work required by you. Simplystay near the flagwhile the broadcast is sent to Super Earth.
If you leave the area,the timer will stopand will not start again until you are close.
Once the flag is raised and the mission is complete, make your way back to extract so you can collect your rewards and head out on your next mission.
Best Stratagems For Spreading Democracy
Since the mission itself is locked to lower levels, you won’t need to bring all the big guns. However, you will want to bring enough equipment to make it on your own if you don’t have a squad.
If you’re just starting out, you won’t have access to many stratagems, but you shouldbring any Orbital Strike stratagemsyou have in case you get overwhelmed and need to take out an unexpected Bug Breach or Bot Drop.
Sentries are also helpful, as they can take out enemies that get too close while the flag is rising. You’ll want more defensive stratagems to protect the area around the flag until the mission is complete.
The Jump Pack is helpful for getting around the terrain and away from enemies while staying within range of the flag.
