Helldivers 2, the sequel to Helldivers, is a popular third-person shooter where players battle against advancing alien enemies. Your goal in the game is to bring peace back to Super Earth by taking down these extraterrestrial threats. You can pick from a range of weapons to match your style of play and increase your chances of success. But it’s not just about your fighting skills; you also need to be smart with your tactics.
Those acquainted with the Helldivers 2 gameplay would know how important samples are in the game. They’re like a currency that you can use to buy ship upgrades. If you die while carrying samples, you’ll need to go back to where you died to get them back, which can be a bit exhausting. However, there’s an easier way; you can drop the samples and pick them up later. This guide will show you how to drop samples in Helldivers 2.
Helldivers 2: How To Use Team Weapons
Using team weapons is a great way to handle large groups of enemies in Helldivers 2. Here’s how you can do it.
How to Drop Samples in Helldivers 2
In Helldivers 2, samples are essential for upgrading your ship, which in turn upgrades the stratagems and improves your combat. As important as they are, they can also bring some sort of discomfort if they happen to die while carrying them.
When your character dies in Helldivers 2, they automatically drop any samples they were carrying at the location of their death. If you want to keep the samples for later use, you’ll have to go back to where you died to pick them up. But that’s not always easy. To ensure you don’t lose them, it’s better to drop the samples yourself before you die.
Dropping samples isn’t just about saving them for yourself. You can also share them with teammates who need them for ship upgrades or give one to a teammate who previously dropped theirs.
If you’re playing on a PC, you can drop the samples by holding the ‘X’ key. On PlayStation controllers, hold down on the D-Pad to perform this action.
To keep all your collected samples safe, it would be a good idea to drop them at the Extraction Point. If that’s not possible, consider releasing them at a central point that’s easy to access. This will make it easier for you and your teammates to collect them later. For your convenience, you can mark the spot where you left them. However, it’s important to note that these marks disappear after a while.
