One of the main mission types you’ll undertake in Helldivers 2 is Sabotage Supply Base which can include having to destroy Fuel Silos that hold Fuel Reserves. As they’re typically large structures that hostile enemies surround, it can be tricky to get the job done, so here’s a walkthrough on how to do so.

How to destroy Fuel Silos

The easiest way to destroy Fuel Silos and take out all the Fuel reserves is by making use of the Hellbomb stratagem in Helldivers 2.

The best way to destroy Fuel Silos is to use the Hellbomb.

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 Hellbomb, follow the steps below:

  1. Once you’ve called in a Hellbomb, 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 Hellbomb, as they can shoot the stratagem before it goes off which will render it useless and leave you having to restart the process.
