Working towards the max level in Helldivers 2 can take a while but it’ll earn you bragging rights among your friends and random allies. Here’s what you need to know about the max level cap and how to get there.
What is the Helldivers 2 max level?
The current max level in Helldivers 2 is 150. While this was 50 at launch, the 1.000.200 patch bumped this up to a new level cap of 150 while introducing blizzards and sandstorms. But you don’t have to go all the way for to gather the best loadout. While you might not level up a lot as you work towards the max cap, you’ll keep earning Medals and Super Credits for weapons and armor. You’ll also climb up the ranks, getting new titles with time. The update added new titles like Hell Commander and 10-Star General. Our Helldivers 2 review will give you a good idea of how enjoyable the game is.
How long does it take to reach max level in Helldivers 2?
If you succeed on most of your missions and keep amping up the difficulty levels for more rewards and XP, expect to hit max level in about 100 hours of playtime. Not being able to secure secondary objectives and failing to clear missions within the time limit can pad up the grind even more. Use our guide to level up fast to get there quicker. Note that this involves selecting shorter missions, holding you back from enjoying new Major Orders and missions. Ensuring that your entire team extracts safely will maximise the XP you earn from these tasks. Finishing operations will let you contribute to the Arrowhead’s community-wide Major Orders so get to them, Helldiver!
Does Helldivers 2 have an endgame at all, then?
Think of Helldivers 2’s entire storyline as the endgame. While other games bring in endgame content after a playthrough, Arrowhead Game Studios lets you contribute to Major Orders right from the start. This means that you can shape the Galactic War from level 1. Even if community-wide Orders aren’t won, this presents new gameplay opportunities in terms of threats and planets to explore.
