Head to the light blue point of interest on your map and finish the assigned task to complete Secondary Objectives. Every mission in Helldivers 2 will have a main objective that is marked in orange, which makes it hard to miss on your mini-map. Alongside most of the main tasks in any given mission, there is a Secondary Objective that provides you with some support in the field and more rewards as you extract from the area.

The Secondary Objective you find in a mission can vary, and it’s hard to tell which one you will find. Common ones include loading an SEAF launcher with ammunition or destroying an entire research base with the Hellbomb. Destruction is easy enough, but you won’t get any support in the process. On the other hand, completing the SEAF objective will provide you with five free Stratagem strikes from the newly loaded weapon.

If you’re looking for Secondary Objectives in Helldivers 2 for the Personal Orders on your ship, you will need to find six in total. Most missions typically have one Secondary Objective to complete, so most divers must finish at least six missions to get the Personal Order out of the way. By the end, you’ll have another 15 Medals that you can use on the Warbond for more weapons and better armor.

To help out with your objectives, don’t forget to unlock the Patriot Exosuit in Helldivers 2.
