If you want some of the premium shop armor in Helldivers 2, you need to start collecting Super Credits. These can be purchased for real money or earned by simply playing the game, and I’ll outline how in this guide.
How to Get Super Credits for Free in Helldivers 2
You can earn Super Credits for free by searching points of interest for beacons during Galactic War missions. Some points of interest will have containers with a bright flashing light. These typically have one of three currencies within Helldivers 2, and if you get lucky, you can collect around 10 Super Credits from a single box.
Any time you start or join a mission for the Galactic War, there is a main objective that you need to complete in under 45 minutes. Most of the time, you only need about 10 minutes. So, the rest of your time in the mission can be spent searching the general area for different points of interest. Just remember that each POI can be different.
Some points of interest simply allow you to collect ammo and a new support weapon. Those are great in a pinch, but I always want the POIs with a small building. They usually have beacons with flashing lights, and that’s your queue to pick up more currency for your collection in Helldivers 2. Just interact with the container, and it’s all yours.
How to Use Super Credits in Helldivers 2
Super Credits can be used in the Superstore by opening the Acquisitions tab in your ship. All of the cosmetic armor pieces are on a rotating timer and can cost up to 250 credits for a full set. You can always spend some real cash to get more credits, or you can skip this entirely because it does not affect gameplay. At the end of the day, Medals are far more important.
Regardless of the path, customization is a big part of Helldivers 2.
