In Helldivers 2, managing your currencies and resources smartly can make a major difference in how fast you progress, unlock gear, and dominate tougher missions. Whether you’ve bought Super Credits, Medals, Requisition Slips, or other items to speed up your advancement, here are some proven strategies to get maximum value from your purchases.

Know Your Key Currencies

Before diving into advanced tips, it helps to understand what each resource does:

Helldivers 2 Super Credits are the premium currency used to unlock Warbonds and buy armor, cosmetics, and limited‑time items in the Superstore. They can be earned in missions or purchased directly.

Medals are primarily used to progress through Warbonds and unlock weapons and other rewards.

Requisition Slips let you buy powerful stratagems (support tools like orbital strikes or turrets) that can turn the tide in high‑difficulty fights.

Samples are used to upgrade your ship’s modules and unlock quality‑of‑life boosts.

Spend Super Credits on What Matters Most

Super Credits are valuable because they can unlock premium Warbonds, which often contain some of the game’s best weapons, armor sets, and useful items. Rather than blowing credits on cosmetic items right away, prioritize unlocking Warbonds you actually plan to complete. That way, the time you spend playing helps you recoup value through medals and additional Super Credits earned along the way.

Boost Warbond Progress with Medals

Once you have Medals—whether earned through grinding or purchased—you’ll want to use them to unlock the most impactful rewards first. Weapons, support gear, or stratagems that improve your combat effectiveness are usually worth prioritizing over purely cosmetic items.

Combining your bought Medals with ongoing play is especially effective: join Major Orders and Operations when possible, as they pay out large stacks of Medals and often other useful currencies like Requisition Slips in a single run.

Use Requisition Slips to Unlock Stratagems Early

Requisition Slips allow you to unlock support weapons and useful stratagems that can change how you approach missions. If you’ve bought Requisition Slips, spend them early on versatile stratagems — like supply drops, air support, or defensive tools — that you’ll use across many missions.

These tools not only make missions easier, but increase your efficiency at farming other currencies like Medals and Super Credits.

Stock Up on Samples for Ship Upgrades

Samples come in Common, Rare, and Super varieties and are essential for upgrading your Super Destroyer with advanced modules. While you generally need to collect these in‑game, buying extra Samples (if available) lets you unlock quality‑of‑life improvements faster, reducing the grind for future missions.

Plan and Combine Approaches

The smartest players combine bought items with active mission play:

Use bought Requisition Slips to unlock early stratagems, then use those stratagems to farm higher‑value currencies faster.

Pair purchased Medals with Warbond play — advancing through pages means earning guaranteed rewards that boost your progression speed.

Keep an eye on seasonal updates and new Warbonds that may introduce fresh gear and mission content worth investing in.

By understanding how each resource powers different aspects of Helldivers 2 progression and using bought items strategically, you can get the greatest impact from every purchase and dominate even the most challenging missions with confidence.
