In Helldivers 2, sample types include common, rare, and super, essential for optimizing your ship and modules to meet operational objectives. Explore missions to discover these samples scattered randomly. Search around mission objectives and other marked points of interest (POIs) like buildings, bunkers, crashed pods, and containers. Here's a breakdown of each sample type and how Helldivers 2 acquires them.
Common (Green) Sample
• Encounter these samples in missions of varying difficulty levels, particularly prevalent in lower settings. Prioritize opening colored containers near mission objectives and points of interest for efficient Helldivers 2 sample farming. For increased collection, engage in Attack and Blitz missions, as they offer a higher yield of common samples per mission. These mission types unfold on expansive maps, providing ample opportunities for sample discovery.
Rare (Orange) Sample
• To acquire these samples, opt for a difficulty level of Challenging or higher. Focus on missions conducive to exploration, avoiding Eradication missions. Seek out yellow flowers away from industrial structures and pink rocks within drop pod-created craters. Rare samples may also be obtained by eliminating medium to large bug nests.
Super Uramium (Pink) Sample
• To obtain these samples, you'll need to test your luck on Suicide Mission difficulty or higher. Keep an eye out for floating silver balls hovering just above the ground. Alternatively, target Spore Spewers for another sample source; destroying them should yield a pink sample. Remember, you can only carry a maximum of three of these samples simultaneously.
