Discover the locations of Super Samples and rare resources in Helldivers 2. Learn how to find and collect these valuable materials to upgrade your gear and enhance your Helldiver's capabilities.
Helldivers 2 doesn't explicitly guide players on resource acquisition. This guide focuses on locating Super Samples and other rare resources crucial for progression and upgrades.
Locations:
- Super Samples: These are found on higher difficulty planets, typically starting from Extreme (Planet Difficulty 7) and above. They appear as distinct, glowing purple clusters, often in more exposed or contested areas. Look for them during exploration between objectives.
- Common and Rare Samples: While Super Samples are the focus for advanced upgrades, standard Common (green) and Rare (orange) samples are found on lower difficulties. Common samples are abundant, while Rare samples appear on medium to high difficulties (Planet Difficulty 4-6). They are essential for many early and mid-game upgrades.
Tips for Collection
- Prioritize exploration of higher-difficulty planets if you are specifically hunting for Super Samples.
- Always be on the lookout during mission traversal; don't solely focus on objectives.
- Use your scanner (default 'X' on PC, L1+D-Pad Down on PS5) to detect nearby resources.
- Coordinate with your squad to cover more ground and ensure efficient collection.
- Be aware of enemy patrols and nests, as resource locations can often be heavily guarded.
- Some mission types, like Destroy Command Bunkers or Retrieve Essential Materials, may lead you through areas rich in resources.
