The Destroy Fuel Silos and Stockpiled Ammunition Missions start to appear once you play Helldivers 2 on Medium difficulty in Automaton-controlled sectors. As you can expect, you will need to look for specific objectives found in the Mission area and destroy them. However, your everyday Orbital Strikes and high-explosive hand grenades won’t be enough to complete this assignment. Super Earth has given you a special tool to eliminate these crucial tactical targets instead.

To complete either the objective of Destroy Fuel Silos and Stockpiled Ammunition Missions, you have to call in the Hellbomb Stratagem. Similar to Upload Data, the Hellbomb is a Mission-exclusive Stratagem and will only appear once you reach the Mission area. The input to call the Stratagem is Down, Up, Left, Down, Up, Right, Down, Up.

For Fuel Silos, you need to destroy large cylindrical towers that can be found in the Mission area. Usually, you’ll have to smash two of them by calling in Hellbombs twice. Meanwhile, to complete Destroy Stockpiled Ammunitions, you must look for stacks of cylindrical explosives or missiles. More often than not, you must eliminate three of the Mission objectives.

Throw the Hellbomb Stratagem beacon near the Mission objective objects and wait until it drops in 8 seconds. After the bomb lands, you must trigger it to explode by activating its terminal. Enter the corresponding input and stay clear of the bomb, which explodes in 15 seconds.

Keep calling in Hellbombs until all Fuel Silos and Stockpiled Ammunition objectives in the Helldivers 2 Missions are destroyed. You should be able to complete them once you know what you should do. Nevertheless, keep an eye on Automaton Outposts or Dropships as they can hinder your job or eradicate your team if you aren’t too careful.
