General
Arrowhead is aware that Helldivers 2 players are using "undemocratic" exploits to easily farm supercredits, but does not seem too concerned.

Give players free premium currency and they will learn how to farm it. helldivers 2, like many other service games, is set up to allow players to purchase cosmetics and warbonds with premium supercredits, but the premium back It is unique in that it is free and easy to obtain. Super Credits are found lying around in bunkers and supply pods in 10-credit increments.

After repeated playthroughs, these chunks will naturally grow over time, but some players have exploited Helldivers 2's mission generation method to earn the same super credits over and over. This process is time-consuming but reliable, and Arrowhead has caught it (discovered by GamesRadar).

"We are aware of this undemocratic practice," said Arrowhead community manager Twinbeard, a Discord user who raised the alarm about Super Credit farming in the #troubleshooting channel. CyberViper replied. 'Thanks for doing your sworn duty and reporting it. Phew!"

I was curious about how lucrative these pharming methods that are actually out there are, so I tested the one in question. It's not a bug or glitch, but rather a randomly generated point in "Helldivers 2". Simply load up any mission, find a supply drop with 10 free supercredits (marked by a yellow light flashing from a distance), force quit the game and go back to that spot again. Each time you pick up a super credit, your account will be instantly credited with a super credit, but each time you reload the mission, the pickup will be repopulated.

It works, but is slow and monotonous. I was able to "farm" 30 credits in three restarts, but I was already tired of having to redo the entire firing sequence, stratagem selection, and loading screen for every drop. If I keep doing it for hours, I'll be able to earn a few dollars worth of supercredits for the next War Bond: ...... Or you could play a normal mission, scour every supply drop and bunker on the map, and earn 20-30 credits just by playing normally.

It is understandable that Arrowhead does not seem to care much about this exploit. They already distribute super credits on all missions, and come to think of it, simply playing Helldivers 2 is another way to "farm" super credits; Arrowhead has not said that they are actively working to combat credit farming . [For now, the 100-person studio has bigger priorities, like fixing the destructive bug in the unexpected hit shooter.
