In Helldivers 2, the upload data via local relay mission requires you to manually realign a satellite tower. If you had as much trouble as I did during this mission, then you’ll need this handy guide.
How to manually realign the satellite tower in Helldivers 2
After finally getting and uploading the hard drive, you need to manually realign the satellite tower. This isfound at the highest point of this POIand is accessed by climbing the stairs. Once found, interact with the turning wheel on the front.
Unlike the terminals, the relay dish doesn’t tell you where it needs to be. Instead, you need to haveone person at the terminal and one person manually aligning the relay dish. The correct position for the relay dish isshown on the terminal.
Communicating with teammates to realign the satellite tower
The person at the terminal canuse the manual button to tell their teammatethe direction the dish needs to be facing, but in my experience, that message is often ignored and not received. Instead,I recommend you use a micto tellyour teammatewhat direction the relay dish needs to be in.
With the satellite tower in the right direction, the person at the terminal canswipe up to finalize the upload. This is the last requirement for the upload data via local relay mission, so once it’s complete, you may move on to side objectives, other main objectives, or get out of there.
It took me all of 40 minutes to figure out how to beat the upload data via local relay mission (and my teammates were no help). The worst part was that Ididn’t receive rewards or XPfor beating the mission. If you’re also experiencing that bug,you’re not alone. There’s not much we can do to fix it, but you’re able to check out our guide to try the one potential fix players have found.
