How to rescue the science teams in Helldivers 2

Rescuing the science team in Helldivers 2 is pretty tricky, as are most of the extraction missions really. So, to get the best chance you’ll want to collaborate carefully as a team and aim to get the mission completed as soon as possible.

A few key techniques would be to use some players to open the doors to the settlements and extract the civilians, while others clear the path for their run to the next building. It’s vital that those players remove any enemy as soon as they land, or you’ll quickly get overwhelmed.

We recommend dropping in and finding the buildings, then placing every Sentry and protective Stratagem down before you open the doors. Once you do open the doors, be prepared to let all your Strategems loose, and just keep the pathways clear.

It’s by no means easy, but with the right planning, teamwork, and loadout, you’ll be succeeding in no time.
