Developed by Arrowhead Games, Helldivers 2 is a cooperative third-person shooter where players join forces with fellow Helldivers to protect Super Earth from extraterrestrial threats. A sequel to the popular top-down shooter Helldivers, this game unfolds a hundred years after its predecessor’s events.
In Helldivers 2, players encounter a barrage of Major Orders and Personal Orders to inject excitement into the gameplay. Interspersed among these missions are challenging achievements and trophies, varying in difficulty from Bronze to Gold. One such challenge is the “That Which Does Not Kill You” Trophy, known to stump many gamers. Here's how to conquer this achievement in Helldivers 2.
Mastering the “That Which Does Not Kill You” Trophy
The “That Which Does Not Kill You” Trophy in Helldivers 2 is a coveted silver accolade that demands players to sustain injuries in all four limbs simultaneously without succumbing to death. This task presents a significant challenge as it necessitates players to inflict harm upon themselves intentionally while ensuring survival.
While various methods exist to inflict critical injuries in Helldivers 2, most result in immediate fatality. To evade this fate, players must procure the DP-40 Hero of the Federation Body Armor, conferring a 50% chance of survival against fatal strikes. Available for purchase at Warbond for a modest sum of 25 medals, this armor equips players to execute the following strategies to injure themselves critically and secure the trophy:
Cooking a Grenade Until Detonation
Utilize G-12 Grenades for this task due to their capacity for substantial damage. With the armor's protection, players stand a 50% chance of surviving with a mere 1 HP.
Getting Trapped Beneath a Resupply Pod
Position yourself at the pod's edge instead of directly underneath to minimize risks while attempting to unlock the trophy.
Self-Inflicted Orbital Strike
Request an orbital strike on your location to shatter all limbs or employ an Eagle Fighter for a similar effect.
Enlist a Comrade's Aid
Collaborate with a squad member to shoot each limb with a low-damage pistol sequentially, unlocking this challenging Trophy.
