Sure, you'll earn some Helldivers 2 Medals just by doing your thing in the game, but why settle for the basics when you can supercharge your Medal collection? Keep reading to get all the best ways to get them.

Best ways to farm Medals
There are three main ways to farm Medals. The first one is that you need to examine every nook and cranny of the missions. This way you'll find containers near buildings, behind rocks, in crevices, and other secret places. Drop ships are an even better option because they have a lot of loot and are easy to spot. If you find a bunker, you will have to call your friend because only two people can open the door.
The second way is to complete daily Personal Orders. Most of them can be finished at the same time as regular missions, so this option is great for those who don't want to spend too much time playing. For each such task, you will receive 15 medals, so be sure to log in to the game every day and complete them.
Of course, there is also a method for those who are ready to invest a lot of time in the game and want to unlock more equipment and cosmetics as quickly as possible. You just have to find the most profitable missions in terms of time spent and the rewards they offer. Then, just play them over and over again. One of the most profitable missions we can offer is the Eradicate Terminid Swarm.
If you have a team, we also recommend using Mortar Sentry. Since the location in Eradicate Terminid Swarm is small, all mobs will be within the range of this weapon. This way, you can get five medals in less than five minutes. After that, you can abandon the operation and find a new, similar mission.
