Discover the role of Troopers in Helldivers 2! Learn how they enhance gameplay and teamwork in this action-packed universe.

Did you ever get a Personal Order asking you to kill a certain number of Troopers in Helldivers 2? If you were confused about this directive, the following guide is just what you need. Completing Personal Orders will give you a chance at earning some medals in the game, so it’s important to understand what Troopers are and where you can find them.
What Do Troopers in Helldivers 2 Mean?

Troopers are the most common enemy type that you’ll face off against when fighting against the Automaton faction. They are quite easy to take down, and they can pose a problem to you only when you get overwhelmed by their sheer numbers. This usually happens when you are focusing all your squad’s firepower to take down a more formidable enemy, allowing the Troopers free rein in the process.
Also, keep in mind that Troopers have different sub-varieties based on the equipment they are packing. So, when a Personal Order asks you to take out 20 Troopers, it usually means a specific kind of Trooper in Helldivers 2. Simply note when the in-game counter number attached to the Personal Order increases when you’ve killed one. This can help you understand which variety you need to target to complete the goal.
Any stratagem or weapon is effective against these types of enemies. So, you don’t need to have any particular plan of action when fighting them. But, just in case, read about our best orbital stratagem tier list if you are looking for some powerful weapons.
Where Can You Find Troopers?

Troopers belong to the Automaton faction and can be found on the western part of the galaxy. You should look for them in planets within the red zones. They spawn regardless of the difficulty you choose. A good way to find Troopers would be to search near points of interest, although they will also appear in random spots on the map.
Also note that Troopers only appear in the bot or Automaton missions of the game. You won’t find them while taking on the Terminids. To increase your chances of taking down Troopers and other members of the Automaton faction, go through our best beginner Automaton builds.
That’s about all you need to know about Troopers. Mowing these weaker enemies down is highly satisfying, but make sure you don’t let them gang up on your squad while you are distracted.
