Tips on Solo Extracting while Super Sample Farming

[SaltPoweredRobot]

I'm aware that I suck ass at this game, and I'm aware that I should not be playing alone. My friends aren't always online, and randoms just go out and alert every single enemy on the map. Now that that is out of the way, here is my question.


What are some tips on safely extracting on a Level 7 and higher Extraction without dying and losing the samples. I've been trying to do things various youtubers recommend, such as playing on Blitz for the smaller map size, wearing the Scout armor so I can see and find the Samples on the map, and using all the best gear such as railguns, airstrikes, railcannons, etc.

Despite this, I usually get absolutely DESTROYED at extraction, like not even a chance at survival. On a bug planet, I had 3 Bile Titans spawn and my mech didn't have enough rockets for them all. On Bot planets, they literally dropped tanks on top of me, along with ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Rocket Devastators...

I need these damn samples to get extra eagle strikes and orbital cooldown decreasing upgrades, and I'm TIRED of dying with the samples and watching the failure screen. I appreciate any help with this. I just want to spread democracy the way god intended.

Step1.
Go to one of the various helldiver 2 discords (I like doom divers) abd find people with the same objective as you.

Step 2.
???

Step 3.
Profit.

You should probably just play public games.

Get the samples and get out ASAP. The difficulty ramps up as time goes on.

Other than that it's just the usual. Check your map often. Move deliberately. Avoid unnecessary fights. All that good stuff.

Try equipping the EAT and dropping at the extraction point at the start of the mission. Then throw a couple of them down before you head out. That way you have a some waiting for when you get swarmed at extract.

If you're soloing generally don't bother defending. Either hit the button and prone on the edge of the extract area or wait until emergency extraction while being prone 150m+ away from the extract. If you can't drop aggro just kite.

The reason why you want to be away from the extract is because patrols won't camp it if you're far enough away.

The reason why Blitz is so good is because of the fast emergency extract.

The reason why you prone with the scout armor is because bugs can basically step on you an not notice you.

There will be maps where you can actually defend, but you have to get a feel for it.

If you want Super Samples and can't solo 7+, I'd recommend joining public games. You can make new friends that way if you get a decent team and it's less stress than trying to snag samples and extract solo.

Just play the blitz, find the samples, now stealth it back to extraction, Take the jump pack with you jump onto high ground like a big rock or something and go prone, wait for extraction. jump pack down past the stupid bugs enter drop ship. GG's

Wrong, difficulty is not affected in any way by time. The patrol spawns go up 4x when you finish main mission and then by another 50% when at the extract, even if the ship has not been called in.

Yup just get onto a big rock and wait for the ship, that's it.

You can let the timer run out after finishing the mission so it doesent force you to stay in that one little area, then just stealth and hide from the patrols until the pelican lands and you can make it inside.
You can also call extraction and still have stratagems for if you need to clear the way after the lands since it will be swarmed with enemies but if you call it you will have to be sneaky and stay very close by.

I will warn you that if you run the clock out you better be withing spitting distance of the landing zone because the pelican only touches down for like 20 seconds or something like that. I tried that once and got left behind with my pink samples lol.
