Here's a look at some fundamental achievements, that will surely fill your trophy case.

“Greetings, Supreme Commander!”: This one's easy peasy! All you need to do is complete your training. It's the first thing you do when you start the game, so you'll get this right away. This is your initiation into the elite ranks of the Helldivers, the galactic guardians of managed democracy! Consider it your official welcome to the chaos.
“Level 7” and “Level 20”: These are straightforward level-up achievements. You'll get them by reaching levels 7 and 20, respectively. Keep playing missions, complete objectives, and spread democracy to earn XP and level up. As you get more experienced you will be able to handle more difficult missions, and unlock more of those awesome strategems. You get to unlock new weapons, strategems, and upgrades as you progress, so level up as quickly as possible.
“Democracy's Champion”: To unlock this, you'll need to complete a mission on level 7 difficulty. This is where things get a bit more challenging. Teamwork and strategem coordination are your best friends here. Coordinate with your team and make sure everyone understands the objectives. Plan your approach, utilize cover, and prioritize targets. Communicate with your squad, and most importantly, don't be afraid to die (you'll respawn anyway!). Make sure you are using your best gear and strategems as you are going to need them to succeed.
“A Better Tomorrow”: This achievement requires you to successfully extract from a mission on level 7 difficulty. Extraction is often the hardest part, so make sure to get there with plenty of time to spare, and coordinate your defense. Ensure the Pelican has a clear landing zone. Defend the landing zone against waves of enemies until the Pelican arrives. This is where teamwork truly shines. Protect each other, and make sure to stay alive.
“Extraction Specialist”: To get this trophy you need to successfully extract from 10 missions regardless of the difficulty. Keep playing, keep extracting, and this achievement will be yours. If you are having trouble getting the above achievement, just focus on this one and it will come naturally.

Combat & Strategic Achievements

Now, let's dive into some combat-focused and strategic achievements. These are where things get a bit more interesting, requiring you to master the art of war, strategem deployment, and teamwork. You'll need to learn how to effectively use your weapons, strategems, and teamwork to dominate the battlefield. Are you ready to become a tactical genius and a master of war? Let's dive in and unlock some awesome achievements!

“Hold My Liber-Tea!”: This one's all about killing 5 enemies with a single grenade. Timing and placement are key here. Try to find a group of enemies clustered together, or lead them into a tight space. Practice your throws, and make sure your grenades are fully cooked. Use the terrain to your advantage, and look for chokepoints where enemies will be forced to bunch up.
“Divers, Hold!”: To get this achievement, you need to survive for 10 seconds while bleeding out. This requires some luck and a bit of planning. When you get downed, try to crawl to a safe spot where your teammates can revive you. Communication is key! Tell your team where you are and that you need help. If you have any stims left, use them for a quick burst of health. This one is less about skill and more about situation awareness and teamwork.
“They Mostly Come Out at Night…”: This achievement requires you to kill 5 enemies with a single orbital strike. Orbital strikes are powerful, but they can also be tricky to aim. Make sure to call them in where they will hit the most enemies. If you see a swarm of bugs or a group of bots, launch an orbital strike to quickly annihilate the enemy. Take your time, aim carefully, and let the firepower do its work. Practice makes perfect, and with a little patience, you will get this one in no time.
“For the Fallen!”: You can get this trophy by reviving 20 teammates. Teamwork makes the dream work! Pay attention to your teammates, and revive them when they go down. This one comes naturally as you play with others. Prioritize reviving your teammates whenever possible. This is a crucial skill for any Helldiver, and it's essential for success. Make sure to stay close to your teammates so you can revive them when they are down. Don't be afraid to take a risk and revive a downed teammate, it might just save the mission!
“The Best Offense…”: You need to kill 50 enemies with a single use of a single strategem. Choose a strategem with a high kill potential, like an orbital laser or a barrage. Time your deployment carefully. Select the right strategem for the situation. Learn the different strategems and their effects so that you can quickly deploy the one you need. Strategic deployment and enemy positioning are essential to this achievement.
“Come On In, The Water's Fine!”: To unlock this, you need to jump into a mission that is in progress. This achievement is quite easy. If you see a mission that needs help, don't hesitate to join the fight! This one is all about jumping into the fray and supporting your fellow Helldivers. You’ll be helping out your comrades and earning a trophy. Sometimes the easiest ones are the most fun.

These combat and strategic achievements require a bit more skill and planning. Use your weapons effectively, call in strategems wisely, and work as a team, and you'll be well on your way to earning them all. Now get out there and fight for freedom! Remember, every kill and strategem used is a step closer to earning these trophies.
