"Helldivers 2: Navigating Progression, Bosses, and Server Capacity"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Gamesradar

The Helldivers 2 progression system involves XP, levels, Medals, Requisition Slips, and Samples obtained through completing mission objectives rather than kills, with rewards shared equally among the team. Players can unlock new stratagems with XP, buy new stratagems with Requisition Slips, and upgrade their Ship with Samples. Higher difficulties are unlocked by successfully completing operations on the previous difficulty, with nine levels of difficulty available.
