Helldivers 2: How to Align Radar Dish (Upload Data via Local Relay)

Helldivers 2 has quite the mission variety despite seeming monotonous on the surface. You will have to complete missions involving rescuing civilians, eliminating titans, launching ICBMs, and more. However, there is one mission type that has left players scratching their heads: aligning the radar dish during the Upload Data via Local Relay mission.

Unfortunately, the mission does not explain how you are supposed to proceed with this objective. While the task may seem complicated, it can be easily completed with some teamwork. Keeping this in mind, this guide will cover everything there is to know about aligning the relay dish in Helldivers 2, along with other useful information.

Steps to Align Radar Dish in Helldivers 2

Here is what you need to do to align the radar dish in Helldivers 2:

1. Find the encrypted hard drive by moving to the location with the laptop icon (arrow pointing downwards) on the map.
2. Interact with the terminal and enter the correct sequence of buttons.
3. Use the SSSD Delivery Stratagem and throw it.
4. Pick up the SSSD and head towards the main relay station, represented by a laptop icon (arrow pointing upwards).
5. Eliminate any hostiles around the radar dish, place the SSSD in the terminal, and activate it by entering the correct sequence of buttons.
6. Once the terminal has been activated, head over to the radar dish.
7. Ensure the radar dish is positioned exactly between the two lines highlighted on the terminal.
8. Head back to the terminal one last time to complete the process, thus completing the Upload Data via Local Relay mission.

While you can rotate the radar dish solo, it would be easier if you had a teammate help you since you would not have to run back and forth between the terminal and the radar dish.

Unfortunately, the game does not thoroughly explain how to complete the mission, which is why it can be difficult to complete this objective if you don’t know what to do. However, there is a possibility that the developers will provide tutorials for each mission type so that new players do not face the same issues that previous players faced when they started. Now that you know how to align the radar dish, you should be able to complete similar missions without breaking a sweat.
