How to destroy Fuel Silos in Helldivers 2: Fuel reserves explained

In certain Helldivers 2 missions, you’ll need to destroy Fuel Silos that contain Fuel reserves but due to their size and reinforcements, they can be tricky to take down. So, here’s exactly how you can destroy Fuel Silos in the game.

Helldivers 2 is the sequel to Arrowhead Game Studios’ Helldivers and presents an intense third-person shooter where players are tasked with completing missions across a variety of planets. As you play you’ll be defeating waves of enemies, constantly upgrading your gear, and completing mission objectives.

One of the main mission types you’ll undertake in Helldivers 2 is Sabotage Supply Base missions which can include having to destroy Fuel Silos that hold Fuel Reserves. As they’re typically large structures that are surrounded by hostile enemies, it can be tricky to get the job done.

With that in mind, here’s exactly how you can destroy Fuel Silos in Helldivers 2.

How to destroy Fuel Silos in Helldivers 2

The easiest way to destroy Fuel Silos and take out all the Fuel reserves is by making use of the Hell Bomb stratagem in Helldivers 2. The option to use this devastating stratagem will become available when you’re near any building or objects that can be destroyed in the game during specific missions. To active the Hell Bomb, follow the steps below:

1. Once you’ve called in a Hell Bomb, wait for it to land and interact with it.
2. Input the code that shows up on the terminal. This will be similar to the D-pad codes used to summon stratagems in the game.
3. After you’ve done this, sprint to a safe distance before the explosion goes off.

As these Silos are heavily defended by enemies in Helldivers 2, you’ll ideally want to defeat them all before calling in the Hell Bomb, as they can shoot the stratagem before it goes off which will render it useless and leave you having to restart the process.
