How to get higher difficulties

[Magicman]

im doing easy right now but I cant seem to raise the difficulty. Ive done a good amount of easy missions. Do I need to do every single easy mission on a planet to raise the difficulty? It says you need to win an operation but theyre all operations?

idk maybe im dumb

Rise you level first.

Normally, only doing all the missions of a same operation should do the trick. However, I think on Easy all operations have only one mission, but I might be mistaking.

You gain access to higher difficulties by completing missions from the previous difficulty.

You don't, actually. You unlock higher difficulties as you beat previous ones. You have to clear an entire Operation in a difficulty tier, to unlock the next. However, progression due to the server problems, is not registering properly, so that might be causing it.

The difficulty setting is down the bottom of the map console. Right click to pull zoom out of the map, and you should then be able to select the difficulty. You can't change it once you're zoomed in, for some reason

yeah I go to the medium mode and it says I need to complete easy operation, but ive done like 10 already haha

Definitely not true. Me and my friends just all unlocked difficulty level 6 at the same time, I'm lv. 13 and they're in the lower 20's.

Ah, thanks for the clarification.

Might just be an issue with the servers not keeping up with everything going on. Might have to wait a while.

So, I've got potential bad/good news for you.

The good is that it's a problem the devs are working on. The bad?

This means players can get stuck on certain difficulty, unable to progress. Our team is working on figuring out how to solve this and what the cause is. There is no known workaround for now." - Helldivers 2 Discord 'known-issues' channel.
