U4GM Where Helldivers 2 Medals Farm Hits 100 an Hour

[Wesley]

Farm medals fast in Helldivers 2 with quick blitz/eradicate runs, stacked daily and major orders, and smart POI looting—then reinvest in weapons, boosters, and armor to scale faster.

Staring at a premium Warbond and doing the maths on medals can be a mood killer. I've been there—queueing into "whatever's available," wandering the map, then wondering why progress feels glacial. If you want to speed it up, treat medal farming like a routine, not a vibe. Some folks even top things off through services like U4GM when they're trying to sort out gear and keep momentum, but the real difference in-game comes from choosing missions that pay out fast and playing them with purpose.

Pick Missions Built for Speed

The quickest medal loop is still the short-timer stuff. Look for Blitz or Eradicate, then run the highest difficulty you can clear without bleeding reinforcements every two minutes. If your squad's sharp, crank it up and play it like a hit-and-run: drop, delete the objective, call extract, leave. Don't hang around "just in case." You'll notice the rhythm after a few runs—load in, split roles, finish, out. The boring part isn't the fighting, it's the dead time, so cut that first.

Don't Skip the Free Medal Payouts

Personal Orders are the easiest medals in the game, and people still ignore them because they don't want to change their kit. Swap it. Do the weird request. Get paid. If it wants flamethrower kills, bring one for a mission and move on. Major Orders are the other big one—more like a background paycheck. Even light participation adds up, and it takes pressure off the "I need medals right now" feeling when you're one page away from the weapon you actually care about.

Loot Smart, Not Slow

Speed matters, but blind speed is how you miss medals sitting in plain sight. While you're moving between objectives, keep an eye out for yellow beacons, pods, and quick Points of Interest. Ten seconds to crack a container can be worth more than another minute of fighting. If you're with a team, make it intentional: one person checks the route for POIs while the others melt the main task. And if you see a two-person bunker, call it. Leaving those closed is basically throwing medals away.

Turn Medals Into Faster Clears

Early on, don't burn medals on cosmetics unless you truly don't care about efficiency. Buy the gear that shortens runs: reliable primaries, boosters that keep you moving, armor that lets you survive mistakes on higher tiers. Better loadouts mean fewer wipes, quicker objectives, and less time running back from a bad drop. Once that snowball starts, Warbonds stop feeling like a second job, and if you're looking to round out specific unlocks or kit goals, it's worth browsing Helldivers 2 Items while you plan what to chase next in-game.
