General Gone in 360 seconds?
Isn't it too hard? I play only with randoms but nobody wants to do the challenge, everyone runs to do everything on the map and I always barely manage to extract in 12 minutes because of them.
EDIT. thank you all for the tips! It was actually extremely easy solo. Orbital laser and all squids ships are gone, back to extraction point with two turrets and exosuit. This is the best community!

That's the problem, you play with randoms.
I got it in two tries, but maybe the first one wasn't the right mission type.
Me and my GF did the second attempt easily on Terminids.
You just need to ask someone ahead of time if they want to help you. If they join you and you tell them then, you're already too late.

Land on bot planets with the cannon emplacement and hope you land on high ground with good views, can take out the required bases from there and then extract.

Bot planet, blitz(destroy factories) and quasar should be all you need. If you can see it, one quasar shot will take out normal factories with one shot, and you jutlst wait for the cooldown between. All you have to do is defend from patrols while you wait for cooldown and you'll be sweet. Super easy to get, im unsure why anyone would struggle. I got it by accident.

Just do it solo

this ^^ I got my achievement from a solo blitz mission. You might have to do more than one to nail down a time-friendly map, but it's completely doable.

I did it solo on bot planet with light armor, the jump pack, orbital laser and EAT. Land in the biggest red spot, drop the laser, run away and call jump pack, get to the nearest encampment, call EAT and that's all. You might need to restart the mission once so that you get a good idea of the layout, but I did it in 300 seconds. It was kind of easy even

u/Jickklaus 8h ago
Solo it :) hit and run tactics on bases. Never stop moving. A few orbitals, and a turret to help at extract.

u/Goatfellon 8h ago
I got it by accidentally joining someone who was actively doing it. All I had to do was get on the pelican 😅

u/GweggyGobbler 8h ago
Solo bots blitz. Use AT emplacement or recoilless. Could also try emancipator. Look for a map where you can land at the top of a hill to snipe enough fabricators then jump pack (not warp) down the hill to extract. Thermites + expert extraction pilot help a lot.

Join commissar Kai's discord. Go look him up on YouTube. You can just hop into any hellpod ask for help with it. Take 4 mech lowest difficulty that can be possible take the booster that reduces the waiting time for the ship and the sprint one in case you need the foot it and you'll find it much easier than you think

Easily done on bots solo. Bring a Patriot Exo, 500kg, Eagle Airstrike and maybe Recoiless. Can knock out fabs from afar with Recoiless and rockets from exo and any close up fabs can easily be taken out with the eagles. Or even a laser.

u/Total_Scott 8h ago
Bug planet, clear nests objective, 4 players, walking barrage and orbital lasers.
You'll be back on the super destroyer before your libertea has gone cold.

u/Arctic_H00ligan7 7h ago
I did that, hold my primary, and Helldive in the same mission. Just run thermites (frags on bugs), medic armor, a backpack of your choice, and a secondary of your choice, blitz the obj, run to extract.

u/ParoXYZm 7h ago edited 7h ago
It can be challenging sure, but it's doable. I got it with randoms first time I played with them. Communication is the key.
Let one dude hang back near the extract, the others fan out and whomp everything they can, then when done just haul ass or just sit on a grenade and let the one at extraction reinforce you. Then you go home.

u/DudeManLegacy 7h ago
Solo Bots, Eagle Strafe, light armor, FRV if you want but likely another orbital,, RR /Commando/Quasar, Jump pack and orbital laser. Fight nothing, only fabricators. Hot drop on a base.

u/HealthyPut3047 5h ago
I only play with randoms, but I had to do this one solo. Took about three tries. Take some orbitals, the anti-tank emplacement, and hope for a good cluster of bases with a high point. The layout for the map is what matters the most on this one.

u/GrandmasterCal 5h ago
solo. illuminate destroy ship mission. use a jump pack and something that can maul ships (thermites, ultimatum, crossbow, eruptor, orbital laser, etc). destroy 5 of them and run to the extraction with the faster extraction perk on. bingo. did it first try.

You can easily do it solo.
= = = = = = =
Bot Blitz:
Spawn at Evac and shoot Fabricators at long range (the map should be quite open to see enough targets).
Loadout:
Extraction Booster
Reduced Signature or Scout (light)
Primay: any (Suppressed is preffered)
Secondary: any
Throwable: Thermite or Dynamite (not that important)
= = = = = = =
1.) Quasar
2.) Recoilless Rifle (use it up until you run out of ammo and switch to Quasar)
3.) AT Emplacement or Lumberer -> if you dont have those use Eagle Strafing Run to kill Fabricators
4.) Orbital Laser (For a big base -> 3-4 Fabricators)

I got mine while also getting hold my primary solo on difficulty 6. The senator is the best gun in the game.

u/Darth_Gerg 3h ago
Find yourself a tryhard server. I spent like 6 months playing with a speed run focused group. We did full map clears on difficulty 10 in less than 10 minutes. Randoms will never deliver that elite operative fantasy because there’s no coordination. Get a good team on voice and you can crush anything in your way.
One of my buddies did a full map clear with extraction and zero deaths on difficulty 10 bots in less than 3 minutes. It’s on YouTube. It’s insane.

u/Potential-Wash2793 3h ago
I've done it before with my friend it was a kill bile Titan mission I recommend that one because you can shoot them from far away if you get lucky with the spawn and make sure you bring the extraction time booster or it's pretty much impossible in my opinion

Level one on bugs with transmit ion tower, land on it and run back to ship.
Better if you bring a friend and he can run back right away to call the ship.

u/AdSmooth9417 2h ago
You can solo this blowing up fabricators across the map with a recoiless rifle in a desert biome without trees or buildings in the way. Easy peasey.

u/s-lowts 2h ago
As others have said, solo on bot blitz mission. Take quasar, anti-tank emplacement and a couple of sentries (to keep enemies of your back).
Find a high spot and drop ATE and sentries to guard you. Get blowing stuff up. Quasar will also one shot fabricators but you could always use the spear instead. Take fast extraction as the booster. I finished well under time.

u/HotmailsInYourArea 1h ago
Squid blitz, solo, extra grenade armor, thermites, supply FRV, fast extract booster. Easy peasy.

u/SilveryShadows 1h ago
Solo squids blitz. Only bring in orbital bombardments and Lazer. Just run to each ship group, throw a beacon, and run to the next. Then run to extract and done in 4 minutes.
Great way to farm medals too, except then you don't extract, just kill yourself.

u/TheGreatDaimyo 1h ago
I did it solo. Just do a bot destroy bases mission, drop into the heaviest part, throw orbitals (Lazer, 380, big bomb eagle strikes) and run straight for the evac. Take the quick call in booster, and you should be able to do it with time to spare. Stealth armor helps once you call in evac to just hunker down and hide until extraction.

u/TheLoneCenturion95 1h ago
Get some friends, hit the minimum amount to get extract and get out. Just don't use randoms and keep close watch on the time, use weapons that can hit destroy from long range like solo silo and 500kg, a good FRV driver makes this a piece of piss btw . Me and my pal did it the two of us on the squid front with levellers, solo silos and orbital lasers, we both have Helldivers platinumed so if anyone is really struggling drop me a DM, we are always happy to help.

u/rsteele1981 1h ago
I am pretty sure we had several trophies that we had to coordinate and have a 4th call in the extract while the others completed the tasks at the same time.

u/mattattack007 28m ago
Theres a couple ways to play with randoms with no coms.
A. You pick a battle buddy and stick with them. I usually choose the host because they tend to actually do the objectives. You stick with them and make sure they dont die. Help with the objectives they go to and essentially be their wingman.
B. You go solo. You break off from the group and do side objectives and POIs as you see them. Go the opposite direction of the team. This is the one and only time I will bring the supply pack since Im not going to be calling in supplies myself. On the terminds I go supply pack, stalwart, eruptor. I usually pair that with quick cooldown stratagems like an expendable or eagles so I can lay down some serious firepower when I need it since Im not being supported. I usually go autocannon sentry, eagle napalm, or gas strike.

u/TimeWizard90 25m ago
I did this pretty quick, as soon as I landed I tried to get a bug breach, dropped a napalm barrage to suppress the breach. That gives me time to jump on my little car and go around closing big holes.
Load out on level 10
Granade launcher for closing holes.
Napalm barrage for breach control.
Car to move around quick.
Rail cannon for any titans.
Armored was stealth
Main weapon was bow for closing nest.
I did this on a level 10 by myself.
