You need to kill 200 enemies with the Stalwart in Helldivers for a Personal Order, getting you an easy 15 Medals. While this challenge is very self-explanatory - obviously just using the Stalwart will eventually get it done - 200 kills is quite a lot. Not to mention the Stalwart also isn't the best weapon on higher difficulties, despite its absolutely massive magazine, so a method for getting this Personal Order done quickly is needed if you're not willing to use the support weapon on a regular mission. Here's the best method I've found for getting lots of kills with the Helldivers 2 Stalwart.
How to get the Stalwart in Helldivers 2
The Stalwart is a Support Weapon Stratagem that you'll need to choose when putting together your loadout before a mission in Helldivers 2. It's likely that you've already got this light machine gun weapon as you unlock it for purchase at level 2 at your Ship Management console and it costs a mere 3,500 Requisition Slips to add to your Stratagem armory. However, it's also possible to find at points of interest and objective areas during missions, though I wouldn't rely on this for any challenges. Make sure you also don't confuse it with the regular Helldivers 2 Machine Gun, or even the Heavy Machine Gun as these won't contribute towards challenge progress
If you're aiming to complete this challenge to get 200 kills with the Stalwart as quickly as possible, the best way to go about is to load into a low-difficulty mission – no harder than Medium if you're playing Helldivers 2 solo – specifically against the Helldivers 2 Terminids. The bugs have far less armor compared to the Automatons, and the Stalwart has minimal armor penetration, so it'll be useless against many of the bot enemies. Not only that, but the bugs swarm you in such large numbers that spraying and praying an entire magazine of the Stalwart is quite effective and great for getting this challenge done fast.
Reload and repeat until you've slain 200 of the filthy bugs, then finish the mission to get back to your ship and receive your 15 Medals. You can then spend those on all sorts of cosmetic items and on unlocking weapons in Helldivers 2 across the various Warbonds like Helldivers 2 Cutting Edge.
