If you’re running short on time, it could be do-or-die in Helldivers 2 with its hardcore difficulty and super Patriotic themes. Each mission gives you 40 minutes to explore a planet, but what happens if that timer hits zero?
Helldivers 2: What Happens When Mission Timer Runs Out?
As you can see from the video above, things will push on as intended. However, the game will enter Expert mode, as you’ll no longer have access to your Stratagems or Reinforcements — you’ll also immediately have the Extraction Shuttle called in without any sort of prompt. You’ll need to fight your way to survival and wait for the Extraction Shuttle to drop so you can finally leave the wasteland that you’ve found yourself on — just make sure that you get out of its way before it lands.
