Helldivers 2: It’s the Only Way to Be Sure Achievement/Trophy Guide (Have 6 Orbital Barrages at Once)

Helldivers 2 is primarily designed to be played cooperatively, so it should not be surprising that most of its achievements and trophies require a team-led effort. “It’s the Only Way to Be Sure,” for example, requires you to have at least one friend in the squad. This is not an achievement that can be unlocked by accident or by playing solo.

How to Unlock The “It’s the Only Way to Be Sure” Achievement/Trophy in Helldivers 2

You need to “have six orbital barrage stratagems in the same place at the same time” to unlock the “It’s the Only Way to Be Sure” achievement. This, however, cannot be done solo. It is one of the few trophies in Helldivers 2 that require the help of at least one friend. You will both also need to level up enough to unlock the following three Orbital Cannons:

Orbital Cannon

Unlock Requirements

Orbital Gatling Barrage

Orbital 120MM HE Barrage

Orbital 380MM HE Barrage

You only need the orbital stratagems that have the word “barrage” in them. So the Orbital Airburst Strike and Laser, for example, cannot be used for the achievement.

The next step is to equip all three of the aforementioned orbital barrages as a team and start a mission. Since there are no difficulty level requirements here, it is best to go for an easier mission so as not to get swamped by enemies right after spawning.

Once on the ground, start throwing all of your orbital barrages in the same location. You may want to familiarize yourself with their stratagem button inputs to get the achievement/trophy in one go. This is because you need all the orbital barrages to be active at the same time in Helldivers 2. If the first orbital cannon finishes its run because you were too slow punching the codes for the latter stratagems, the achievement will fail.

You can also use the Orbital Walking Barrage (requires level 10 and 7,500 R) to unlock the trophy. It takes 7–8 seconds to complete, giving you ample time to punch in the other barrage stratagems.

In the same vein, you will want to throw the Orbital Gatling Barrage in the end.

There are no platform-specific requirements thanks to cross-play, so both players can be on either PlayStation 5 or PC. Remember that the “It’s the Only Way to Be Sure” achievement/trophy becomes even easier to unlock as a full four-member squad in Helldivers 2. That way you can split all six orbital barrages in any order you want.
