- Complete a hard difficulty mission without firing your primary or support weapon
The difficulty is ranked as followed:

Obtain all trophies of HELLDIVERS™ 2.
Hell Dive
Complete an Extreme difficulty mission or higher without anyone dying.
This trophy is best earned on a “Blitz” mission in the automation region. You’ll have to destroy a couple of fabricators in order to complete the mission. The Stratagem “Orbital Laser” under the “Orbital Cannons” category in extremely useful. This call-in can destroy a whole base with multiple fabricators.
When you spawn, try to spawn close to a couple of fabricators, as it will save you time to run towards them. Keep in mind that extracting itself will also take around 2:20 minutes, so be quick to destroy those fabricators.
This is best done with 4 players, as the game doesn’t really scale with fewer people. Try to stick together, as you will kill the bigger enemies quicker. While the mortar is a good stratagem, you might not take it during this attempt as it might kill your allies.
Hold my primary, I’m going in!
