Emergency Evacuation is a Mission in Helldivers 2.

Objective Steps

Establish Communication Uplink

“
Local communication towers must be located and activated, to enable broadcasts to civilians.
— Mission Briefing

There are two sub-objectives on Extreme difficulty and higher.

Activate terminal
- The terminal takes five seconds to activate. Once this step appears, Helldivers will be also able to use the SSSD Delivery stratagem (). It is recommended to use the stratagem as it will be required for a later step.
Log in to terminal
- On the terminal, enter the five long directional input code.
Use Terminal to open SSSD Delivery Hatch
- On the terminal, press to open the SSSD hatch.
Call down SSSD and insert into Hatch
- Use the SSSD Delivery stratagem if it hasn't been used and deliver the SSSD to the hatch. The hatch is located at the base of a communication tower within the sub-objective.
Use terminal to align communication signal
- On the terminal, use directional inputs to raise the signal strength to 100%.
Use Terminal to activate Communication Tower
- On the terminal, enter the five long directional input code to complete the sub-objective.

Evacuate Priority Citizens

“
The citizens are safe for now, trapped inside emergency bunkers. They must be released and escorted to the facility's shuttle bay for extraction.
— Mission Briefing

Activate Shuttle Bay terminal
- The terminal takes six seconds to activate.
Log in to Shuttle Bay Terminal
- On the terminal, enter the seven long directional input code.
Confirm Evacuation Coordinates
- On the terminal, use directional inputs to adjust the coordinates to the designated target coordinates located on the right of the screen. It will take the terminal three seconds to confirm the coordinates.
Open Shuttle Bay Door
- On the terminal, press to open the shuttle bay door.
Escort Citizens safely to Shuttle Bay (number of citizens increase depending on difficulty)
- Helldivers must find the highlighted buttons or locate the evacuation doors with a yellow bar above it; two doors can be found within the main objective. Pressing the interact input on the button near the doors will begin citizen evacuation. Helldivers can evacuate three citizens every 33 seconds.
- Each death of a citizen by a Helldiver or environmental hazard (E.G. Fire Tornado) subtracts 25-Requisition from the final mission rewards (I.E. after the multiplier calculations).
Mission Completed: Evacuate Priority Citizens
- The main objective is completed, and the extraction terminal will become available once the last required citizen enters the shuttle bay.

Tactical Information

Helldivers are advised to take these factoids into consideration when placing some of the trickier defensive Stratagems
- If using Mortar Sentries (both High Explosive and EMS), it is recommended to place these closer to the Shuttle Bay entrance to possibly allow more pre-emptive clearing around the edges of the emergency evacuation port area.
- Depending on the direction where enemies spawn and enter the evacuation zone, it is possible to use mine field stratagems to block the entrances,
- While Tesla Towers won't specially target civilians, they can still end up being used as conduits for chain arcing. Therefore, Tesla Towers should be placed over 20-meters away from the evacuation paths.
Planets with the Fire Tornado environmental hazard can prove deadly to citizens. Helldivers should pay attention to their timings of citizen evacuations if the hazard is active.
