Super Credits in Helldivers 2 explained

Super Credits in Helldivers 2 are one of the three (four, if you count Samples) in-game currencies, and the only "Premium" one that you will use to buy things. Unlike Medals and Requisition Slips, Super Credits can only be used in the Super Store and to purchase Premium Warbonds like Dust Devils. These give you access to neat gear like Armor, Weapons, and Strategems.

Given that Super Credits in Helldivers 2 allow you to expand your arsenal, knowing what it is in detail and how to obtain it is rather useful. If nothing else, it will aid you in your struggle against the enemies of Super Earth.

How to get Super Credits in Helldivers 2

There are a total of three ways to get Super Credits in Helldivers 2. The first method is rather obvious, as this is "Premium" currency, you can outright purchase it using real money. Depending on how many Super Credits you buy and regional pricing, the cost will vary. This is an easy way to obtain this currency as it involves zero footwork.

The second method to amass Super Credits in Helldivers 2 is "SC Farming," as it is commonly called in the community. This involves jumping into a low difficulty Operations/Missions and looking for Bunkers, Pods, and Containers that may hold Super Credits.

Since this is based on RNG, you won't be getting lucky every time, but you will at least find Super Credits (x10) if nothing else. The same logic can be applied to Super Helldive Operations/Missions, but considering the number of enemies, hunting for Super Credits is not the most viable option.

The last way to obtain Super Credits in Helldivers 2 is by purchasing Warbonds and using Medals to unlock them. Each Premium Warbond holds 300 Super Credits that you can obtain. The only exceptions to the rule (thus far) are the Helldivers Mobilize and the Halo ODST Warbond (Legendary), which contain 750 Super Credits and none, respectively.

Truth be told, while you don't need Super Credits per se, having them allows you to purchase Wabonds and items from the Super Store. This allows you to expand your arsenal of Weapons, Armor, Strategems, and everything in between.

However, from an objective standpoint, whatever is given in the Helldivers Mobilize Warbond (for free) is enough to get you through the toughest of Operations/Missions. Since you can slowly collect Super Credits over time, you will eventually have enough to unlock new Warbonds without having to purchase premium currency.
