The next Helldivers 2 Warbond, titled Freedom’s Flame, is right around the corner and set to be released on August 8th. This means that now is a good time to start stocking up on Medals so you can be ready to unlock all of the new items including the fire-resistant armor.
The easiest way to do this is by taking part in the Major Orders, as well as completing your daily Personal Orders. Today’s Personal Order sees the return of the confusing ‘Kill 5’ challenges. But, kill 5 what?
Like with the previous times this challenge was available, according to Helldivers.io, the challenge is listed on the site as “Kill 5 Automatons.” However, the Personal Order doesn’t task you with just killing any robot in Helldivers 2, instead, it should be listed as ‘Kill 5 Hulks.’
Hulks are the largest standard enemy in the Automaton army, with them being heavily armored and carrying weapons such as the Flamethrower and Rocket Launcher. If you’re struggling to defeat a Hulk, its weak point is the small head in the center of its armor, if you destroy this then it will die immediately. If you’re struggling to kill it this way, destroying the army on its back will also allow you to easily destroy it.
Hulks are incredibly intimidating but are much easier to deal with than most players believe. However, this might not be the case once the Escalation of Freedom update goes live, which will add a level 10 difficulty. To help tackle this, we highly recommend checking out our Helldivers 2 best weapons guide and best armor guide.
