Defeating the Terminids and Automatons is not the only way to win the Galactic War inHelldivers 2. You also have optional objectives to complete on the side that may include destroying facility buildings and research laboratories.
The game, unfortunately, does not tell you how to level these abandoned outposts. Most players tend to start shooting the buildings with theirnewly unlocked weapons, which is just another way to waste precious ammunition.
There is no need to worry though. Destroying all buildings is one of the easiest secondary objectives to complete inHelldivers 2. Here is how you do it.
Best Way to Destroy All Facility Buildings in Helldivers 2
The easiest and most cost-effective way to destroy Research Stations, Rogue Research Labs, or any other facility outpost with buildings is to call in a Hellbomb inHelldivers 2.
Hellbombs are mission-specific stratagems thatcannot be unlocked and equipped during the preparation phaselike the otheroffensive stratagems inHelldivers 2. They are mini-nukes with the power to level a large area, or an entire research outpost in this case.
Hellbombs automatically become available to you after reaching the site of the mission objective. When you get a mission prompt to “destroy all facility buildings” in the top-right corner of your screen, it means that you are in range.
Open your stratagem list by holding L1/Ctrl on PS5/PC and punch the followingstratagem button inputto call a Hellbomb:Down, Up, Left, Down, Up, Right, Down, Up. Then interact with the Hellbomb and activate it by punching its series of random button prompts.
You will now have a few seconds before the Hellbomb detonates. Clear the area, and verify your teammates do the same. There will also be an audio cue to let you know about the countdown. When the Hellbomb explodes, all facility buildings (and enemies) within its blast radius will be destroyed inHelldivers 2.
You also have a chance to find Hellbombs as points of interest. They cannot be carried or moved though. The only way to activate and detonate them is by shooting from afar. Hellbombs haveenough explosive power to beat Bile Titanscaught in their blast radius.
you may, of course, use your Orbital and Eagle stratagems to destroy buildings as well.TheHelldivers 2500kg Bomb is also a mini-nukethat can wipe out an outpost. TheOrbital Laseris equally effective. However, there is no point in putting your stratagems on cooldown when you can call in a Hellbomb for free.
There are several secondary objectives that require you to use a Hellbomb. In addition to destroying Rogue Research Stations and Labs, you also need to call in a Hellbomb todestroy Fuel Silos and Stockpiled Ammunition inHelldivers 2. Future content updates are likely to add more objectives that make use of Hellbombs, so make sure to familiarize yourself with the explosive stratagem now.
