Introduction & Key Notes
Based on the original guide by user: BEASTESS 🐺, this is my version of that guide.
The original guide is still relevant on most of the basics achievement however on the harder to get achievement some are outdated, lack of detail, and/or lack of other option in my opinion. Even the user of that guide stated that he will not update the guide unless they added new achievement.
So this is my reversion of the achievement guide and because the original guide still have relevant information, I keeping them or adding detail to them. I will try to make my guide for every type of player (Solo & Playing with Friend, and/or Random)
Acquirement:
- Individual: The Player in question who wanted the achievement must do everything themselves to get the achievement.
- Team: Depending on the achievement, the achievement must be done with a team
- Individual or Team: Depending on the achievement, the achievement can be done as an Individual or as a Team. If doing as a Team, the Team still has to follow whatever requirement that achievement requested or it will automatically fail as achievement.
My Achievement Difficulty Level Explanation/Breakdown:
*All Based on Game Experiences, Steam Achievements Stat, Psnprofiles[psnprofiles.com] Achievements Stat, and Different Player Playstyle

I recommend you go fight the Automaton on any Difficulty on any mission.
Get into a gunfight that has Trooper[helldivers.fandom.com] and/or Commissar[helldivers.fandom.com]. When you are in the gunfight, make sure you are behind cover which sometime force them to throw a grenade. When they do, you only got a few second to kick/throw that grenade away from you.

Reload another player’s stratagem using any of the following stratagem we currently have at the time of this was written:
- Recoilless Rifle[helldivers.fandom.com]

- Airburst Rocket Launcher[helldivers.fandom.com]
- Spear[helldivers.fandom.com]
Just ask them to help. They will use whatever stratagem that has a weapon backpack and you reload for them after they use up it ammo.
The most common stratagem that people uses to reload another player is the Autocannon. I recommend unlocking/purchasing that stratagem. It doesn’t matter if no one on your team have the Autocannon on their load-out as long you have it. Just drop them down on the planet once the cool-down are over and “Hope” another player pick it up. When they do pick it up, just be sure you reload for them while carrying your own Autocannon backpack ammo when you guy get into a firefight.
———————-
*Kill 100 enemies using fire damage during the same mission.
Acquirement: Individual
Any weapon or stratagem that has the weapon trait of “Incendiary” will count, just make sure they are kill by fire and not by anything else. The best example of this are the Shotgun; Breaker Incendiary[helldivers.fandom.com] and SG-451 Cookout[helldivers.fandom.com]. If you shoot them normally on low armor enemies, they will simply die from the first shot but if you aim somewhere else on the body, then it will catch on fire and then die from fire.
