How to get 75 kills with the Mortar Sentry in Helldivers 2

The Helldivers 2 Mortar Sentry fires volleys of three mortars, raining explosives down on enemies and any unlucky nearby players. It’s also got great range and doesn’t need a direct line of sight, making it a great defensive tool inHelldivers 2. However, because the mortars take time to fall, enemies can move out the way before the mortars hit or you and teammates can easily walk into the danger zone so you need to be careful.

If you’ve got to kill enemies with the Mortar Sentry in Helldivers 2 for a Personal Order, theeasiest way to get this done quickly is to hop into any medium-difficulty Eradication mission. The Mortar Sentry’s power meansit’s effective against both Helldivers 2 factions– the Terminids and the Automatons – but suffers for different reasons.The Terminids being fast and always moving means they can easily evade the mortars, while the Automatons are fewer in numbers and more resilient, so the challenge can take longer to complete.

Regardless of the faction, this should take around two or three Eradication missions to complete. Make sure you place the Mortar Sentry out of the way of enemies, preferably up high, andstay reasonably close to it to both protect it from enemies and you from it– playing these asHelldivers 2 solomissions will also limit the sentry’s chances of exploding an ally too. I also recommend bringing along either Stun Grenades, theEMS Mortar Sentry Stratagem, or bot. That way, you can keep enemies in place, allowing your Mortar Sentry to clean up and not miss its targets, hopefully completing the challenge as quickly as possible to get 15 Medals.© GamesRadar+.
