Helldivers 2 Eradicate Missions Guide

Do not stop to loot

Eradicate is a body count against a timer, and every second you spend in a crate is a kill you did not make. Ignore samples and rares until the counter is done; the mission rewards finishing, not foraging. The mission types page lists how eradicate fits the rotation.

Hold the center, not the edge

Enemies stream from fixed spawns, and a squad that clusters on the spawn funnels them into your guns. Spread out enough to cover angles but stay close enough to share fire. The squad roles page explains how to cover the field without scattering.

Bring area damage

Grenades, turrets, and explosive primaries win eradicate faster than precise single shots. The best primary weapons page flags the guns that clear a spawn wave. The orbital stratagems page covers the strikes that reset a pile of enemies.

Pop reinforcements on the clock

If the squad wipes, call reinforcements immediately rather than waiting, because the kill counter keeps running while you are dead. The mission prep page covers the loadout discipline that keeps everyone alive to the finish.

Chain the spawns

Eradicate spawns come in waves from fixed points, so position on the spawn and let them walk into your fire rather than chasing them across the map. The horde management page covers the same discipline on bug fronts. Keep one area denied and the counter climbs on its own.

Use the stratagem economy

Eradicate rewards calling strikes on cooldown rather than hoarding them, because the kill counter only moves while enemies die. The orbital stratagems page ranks the strikes that reset a pile. Spend the resources, because a finished mission beats a saved loadout.
