Completing a full extreme difficulty Blitz mission and extracting in under 6 minutes in Helldivers 2 to earn the Gone in 360 Seconds Trophy / Achievement is challenging enough. Still, an unforeseen way the game counts the mission completion time has been causing the achievement not to pop, causing players lots of frustration. The strategies below will not only help with completing the mission itself but also avoid frustration by showing how the timer works.
How To Get The Gone In 360 Seconds Trophy / Achievement In Helldivers 2 Multiplayer
Here’s how to get the Gone in 360 Seconds Trophy / Achievement in Helldivers 2:
- Start an Extreme Blitz Mission (Difficulty 6).
- Pick the Automaton variant.
- Spawn as close to enemy presence as possible.
-
Use weapons like 500kg bombs and
Orbital Lasers
to destroy buildings quickly.
- Make sure one player goes directly to the extraction zone, and the remaining players pick a base.
The above strategy will help complete the Blitz as quickly as possible. However, another aspect of the achievement can cause it not to pop for players even though they meet the achievement criteria (completing it in under six minutes).
This issue happens because of how the game counts the time it takes for the mission to be completed. The Gone in 360 Sounds achievement uses the mission timer at the end of the screen instead of the countdown timer you see during the mission. So, even though the countdown timer appears to be under six minutes, it is not.
Helldivers 2: Hold My Liber-tea! Achievement and Trophy Guide
Prove that recklessness is irrelevant in the face of Democracy by completing the Hold My Liber-tea trophy and achievement in Helldivers 2.
This is because the mission timer counts the time from when the Pelican takes off until the Mission Complete screen appears, working out to about 20 uncounted seconds compared to the countdown timer. The uncounted time means players must complete the mission at 5:40, left on the countdown timer for the achievement to pop.
To achieve this, players must call the Pelican at the 9-minute mark of the countdown timer to account for any uncounted seconds. If the Pelican is called too late, players must redo the mission. Completing only the main objective and extraction satisfies the trophy criteria. Hence, players need not worry about Automaton side objectives or leftover bug holes, saving them a lot of time and effort.
How To Get The Gone in 360 Seconds Trophy / Achievement In Helldivers 2 Solo
It is still possible for players to get the Gone in 360 Seconds Trophy / Achievement in Helldivers 2 when playing the game solo, but it will be a bit more complicated.
The easiest way to do so is by waiting until a map that isn't under fog appears. Eventually, one will appear, which is much easier to complete since the map clearly shows the objectives. From here, you can employ the same strategies above.
