A large part of how well you perform in your missions is determined by how your team plays, which comes down to the game’s multiplayer. While you can always play Solo, be prepared to take on enemies on a higher difficulty. You can also join a public match. Ideally, you would hit Quick Play and just wait for others to join. Now, there’s a chance you went ahead and started the mission without waiting for others to join. That’s where the SOS Beacon of Helldivers 2 comes in. It lets you call for help in the middle of a mission, but a new problem that many players are running into is that it doesn’t seem to work. So here’s a way to fix it:

You must equip it before the mission starts.

The SOS beacon call time is 2 seconds, but you have to use it wisely because as mentioned before it is a strategy that you can only use once per mission.

That’s all on how to fix the SOS Beacon not working error in Helldivers 2 and how to use it. While you’re here, don’t forget to check out our other guides on how to defeat Scout Striders , get the 225-SG Breaker , deal with Chargers , and get boosters .
