The battle to spread Managed Democracy has many fronts, but taking and holding planets aren't the only things players can do in Helldivers 2. For completionists who want to get everything the game has to offer, there are also plenty of achievements that require a bit more creativity than usual.
Helldivers 2: Best Solo Build
Go it solo in Helldivers 2 without feeling the hurt, here is a key build to consider for your next outing.
The Hold My Liber-tea trophy is one such challenge. It's hard to get this one without deliberately trying, and even then, players might be confused as to how to meet its condition. Thankfully, all it takes to complete this achievement is a few seconds of your time, and you won't have to bother with picking a specific Helldivers 2 difficulty level either.
Updated March 11th, 2024 by Russ Boswell: There are quite a few achievements that can be a bit frustrating to get in Helldivers 2. Some of them require multiple players in a session to complete but there are others that can be snagged solo if players know what to do or where to go. The Hold My Liber-tea Achievement in Helldivers 2 can be grabbed solo if players know a trick to activate it. To better showcase how to get the Hold My Liber-tea Achievement in Helldivers 2, the following guide has been updated with a companion video.
Unlocking the Hold My Liber-tea! Trophy & Achievement in Helldivers 2
The condition for this trophy is simple: find a way to ragdoll yourself while midair with the Jump Pack stratagem in Helldivers 2. It sounds easy on paper, but it actually involves you getting into very specific scenarios. Simply launching yourself with the Jump Pack won't do since it will always try to soften your landing, and you can't exactly dive or do anything else while you're midair either.
So, instead of doing any of that, you'll want to find a patch of those round plants that explode into clouds of smoke. You can find them on almost every map outside of the small Evacuation and Eradication missions. Call-in your Jump Pack, stand near a plant patch, then shoot the bulbs as soon as you activate the Jump Pack. This will cause you to hurtle through the air at great speeds, potentially resulting in a minor case of major physical trauma and/or death.
The method above is the easiest way to complete Hold My Liber-tea. If you want to unlock this trophy or achievement through normal gameplay, then you'll have to:
- Get rammed by a rampaging Charger or Stalker
- Get hit by an Automaton rocket launcher or cannon tower
- Get caught in an explosion from a friendly Stratagem or undetonated Hellbomb
Hold My Liber-tea is a walk in the park compared to the Let's Call It A Draw achievement in Helldivers 2, so there should be no reason to make things any harder for yourself. Not many know that the smoke plants actually explode when shot and that the force of their explosion is enough to launch you into the air. That being said, these plants are also great if you want to traverse the map a little quicker than usual.
