Well this video is kind of blowing up (for my standards anyway) I’m in work on a night shift 💀 so I’ll try look at comments on my break. Thanks for the support and drive safe Helldivers o7.
To people that ask what D is: it's "drive", your gearbox will work automatically (there is total of 4 gears, you can switch to 1st and 2nd manually but 3rd and 4th are only available through drive mode) While it's fine on long straight stretches of the road, I do *NOT* recommend always using drive, since turning in 3rd and 4th gear is slower and this can lead to crashes, especially in cities.
@@smellycat57 Actually it runs on PRNDL gear shifting which is automatic. He's correct in that D is for long stretches of flat terrain since that allows for it to shift gears normally. The numbers actually adjust the torque of the vehicle. D1 lowers it so the vehicle gets better performance and traction while offroading so for the majority of the game you're actually going to be in D1 for better handling offroad. D2 heightens it while still in lower RPM. This lets you get up steep hills while offroading Normally the standard D would actually do while driving around in the cities if you manage your speed properly. But there's so much debris and abandoned cars it's not worth it because of how much crap is actually in your way. If there was a 'highway' in the game that didn't have all the obstacles or even just abandoned streets, D would be perfectly fine to zip around in on asphalt and get up to cruising/highway speeds.
Wow, a helldiver that acknowledges the ps5 controls. Refreshing. Also, wild that the auto reverse is on by default on pc but off on ps5. I spent 45 seconds driving into a rock with a car full of confused teammates before i noticed the gearshift
Doesn't help that I play PC with a 3rd party Xbox controller that doesn't use the same designated buttons. My squad just tells me "press/hold (verb) button" and I know which one it is.
I suspect the reason that auto reverse defaults to on with PC but off on PS5 is because of the difference in how the accelerator and break are handled. On controller I imagine it uses the triggers, making for a better approximation of the pedals on an actual car, so they get the more realistic off setting, where reverse must be selected, while on keyboard, it's W and S, so it defaults to on because it would be much more unintuitive to go backwards by changing gear and then pressing "move forward" while "move backwards" only slows you down.
After experimenting with Gears changing, using the FRV its alot more managable However we NEED a Button to flip over the Car like in Halo especially when the smallest rock can cause you to do a nose dive.
lvl 150 guy named Driver. Only drops in with a car stratagem and nothing else. Only says "I drive" when asked what he's doing. Drives like the car is an extension of their body with a 350 kills just from running over enemies. Car is rarely destroyed.
what an armor/ stratagem you would recommend for the car conductor i know the bubble shield is to avoid as it can send back fire pellets to your teammates possibly setting them on fire
I’d have to think about the armor a bit more but off the top of my head I’d say the butcher armor set it’s a heavy medic so you can take more shots and carry more stims for stratagems then I’d go with the ones I recommend for the mech which is the orbital precision, orbital airburst and strafing run because the input codes are so small and then maybe a commando for a bit of anti tank
I want an option to have better camera control. I don’t like camera snap forward where you can see more of the bumper rather than seeing what’s in front of you.
I'm a visual learner. I would love to see the buttons on the screen so I can remember them better 😅 Great video! I planned to play a bit diff 1 or 2 to figure out the driving without getting shot by 20 enemies at the same time. This will speed up my driver career.
I love the idea of manually having to change gears in the car to drive forward or reverse. Intentional actions seems to be a common theme in the game similar to how you have to manually reload on an empty clip
Wow, actually thanks DJ. Short 2 minute video and now I know how to Handbrake, Turn on Auto Reverse, Honk, and Swap Seats. Didn't even know you could anything beyond Honking.
It is also worth mentioning that you not only can kill Voteless by running them over - same goes for Terminids, up to and including warrior size. Haven't tried it on Automatons yet.
If you get enough speed, you can take out bile spewers as well. Getting enough space to build up that momentum is a bit difficult though, and the explosion of goo to follow is also not really to be desired. (Source: Am professional roadkiller.)
R is reverse, if you fire in that gear you'll go backwards N is neutral, car can't move D is automatic, you dont have to change gears to 1 or 2, it auto changes for you 1 is for walking speed in the car 2 is faster than walking speed 1 and 2 are optional, ur good with just D
Vehicle controls are fixed on console. So they can actively conflict with other settings. I cannot use the FRV or mechs because the conflicts are out to get me.
I knew about the headlights assuming they'd work like on the Exosuits I figured out the horn after hearing another player use it themselves I had no idea about seat changing
i think they need another function or something for swapping seats on console i wasn’t even aware opening the map and pressing X to drop a pin seat swapped me and i assumed it was a bug up until now :/
This comment is not sarcasm. Please someone respond to this. What do you do if you roll it cuz so far this thing is worthless. If you roll it it's dead. It just blows up cuz the fuel leaks into the engine. How do you roll this thing back? I'm assuming it would be something like borderlands where you get out and just you know like melee it to flip it over or press a button to flip it over. I didn't see any prompts so please if there's a way to roll it back over let me know and if not this thing is just a waste of time
@DjChats appreciate it cuz I almost enjoy it like there's a small smile coming on my face when I'm like driving that thing around and that extra padded heavy armor like wow I'm faster than everyone. Then I hit one rock and it rolls over and I'm just I don't know. I'm just disappointed, but thanks 👍
Your tactical reports on the ever evolving war front is invaluable data, Commander. Concise, informative, and relevance are key! 🫡 Freedom's Liberty at our backs!
Thank you! I kept switching sits in playstation whitout knowing why. I'll look if it can be changed to other binding cause changing sits when marking thing on the map is bullshit XD
My only complaint about the vehicle is that it tries to do a U-turn every time I so much as breathe on the steering wheel My bones can only take so many impacts from hitting nearby obstacles repeatedly trying to turn left. Thank liberty for these (non-addictive) stims or we'd all be paste
D means "drive". The vehicle will move forward and automatically change gears as it considers appropriate. 1 locks the gear to one, 2 locks the gear to 2. Most of the time you will be fine in D
D is automatic, 1 and 2 are for manual transmission. Just like in a real car, 1st gear is to start moving, the speed is limited but the torque is high, 2nd gives you more speed, but you might have trouble going uphill because the torque is lower.
D is for driving, suitable for roads. 1 is for an unpaved yet flat terrain. (keep in mind you'll be sacrificing speed for movement capabilities when using these modes. 1 is decent traction with a small decline in speed and acceleration, while 2 is a major increase in traction with major reduction of speed and traction.) so, say a grassy field or slight slopes; that's where you use 1. 2 is for going up and down hills; sand dunes, and the more rolling hills regions of the map! i hope this helps you with the handling brodie, goodluck!
For those having trouble driving in the sand, just go easy on the throttle and don't accelerate during turns. Even when not at top speed the recon is faster than running, so channel your inner soccer mom and take it easy.

Night shift? What time zone are you in?
Fantastic video boss, straight to the point, no lame ass music and good info to boot. Thanks for your work
So ur close to Central Europe
@jeronymod5285no western he’s Irish
Thanks for uploading a very nice and straight to the point video man, have a great day
The horn is very useful to turn my teammates into halo npcs who will enter the warthog by me pressing the horn
omg I'm in memory lane
I’m a simple man, you honk, I get in
for real lmao
Done this at least once every game when the FRV is available
when you don't got Mic or Chat. horn and pings are very effective at commutations if you have teammates who have at least more then one braincell
Informational, short and straight to the point. This is what I want to see more of on TH-cam.
you sound like every other bot
@@FreakishMatthew I know, right? I see this comment on almost any video explaining things

For PC: X=Headlights, F=Horn, C=Swap Seats, Space Bar=Handbrake
Pressing C for me turns off the engine somehow lmao
@@dertron486_xre4 because you change the seats! No one is driving then💀
After experimenting with Gears changing, using the FRV its alot more managable However we NEED a Button to flip over the Car like in Halo especially when the smallest rock can cause you to do a nose dive.
Even marines could do it in halo, albeit it took multiple of them unless it was a ghost or mongoose
Even with 4 Helldivers in the cabin it's SO absurdly front heavy. It makes zero sense
That frv is so damn light at the wrong times, i bet that i could lift it up at times
or at least let it be moved around by the melee weapons like the busted cars in the city are
If only we could Melee the car to flip it

Bro in game with baby driver
And that was just against the bots
Didn't know about headlights or changing seats, thanks!
Holy crap. A short concise video on howt o use something. Thank you sir.
Now i can get my super driver's license
That last one is a LIFE SAVER, Those gears be stressing me out when we got squids on all sides
finally someone made this
this thing needs a damn good hand brake to stand still on the ground. it just goes on its own for miles if the terrain isn't completely flat
Did you try coming to a stop BEFORE jumping out? It helps alot actually.
@Jonrocks7 did you try parking it and then finding it 100 meters away from where you stopped? it happens 90% of the times
@ it doesnt, ive been using it ALL day and it never happens unless i literally am going full speed than jump out. Its called stopping
I mean ive come to a stop on an incline and it rolls off @Jonrocks7
Short and straight to the point, both console and PC controls mentioned. Relevant video. A+ video my friend; Super Earth thanks you!
I had no idea most of these controls existed. The horn is useful because in Halo language, it means "get in"
what an armor/ stratagem you would recommend for the car conductor i know the bubble shield is to avoid as it can send back fire pellets to your teammates possibly setting them on fire
I’d have to think about the armor a bit more but off the top of my head I’d say the butcher armor set it’s a heavy medic so you can take more shots and carry more stims for stratagems then I’d go with the ones I recommend for the mech which is the orbital precision, orbital airburst and strafing run because the input codes are so small and then maybe a commando for a bit of anti tank

FR. GTA lets us set the angle it snaps to, which isnt perfect but its better than the bumper view
I definitely wouldn't have figured out the reverse without this
You're a hero for pointing out the auto reverse. Thanks.
This is very useful info. Thank you, will definitely be switching up my FRV to automatic now for easily reversing out of a sticky situation.
I'm a visual learner.
I would love to see the buttons on the screen so I can remember them better 😅
Great video! I planned to play a bit diff 1 or 2 to figure out the driving without getting shot by 20 enemies at the same time.

Thank you so much. I was going nuts trying to figure out how to change seats. And the auto-reverse tip was great! Keep up the good work!
That handbrake aboutta come in so clutch

It is also worth mentioning that you not only can kill Voteless by running them over - same goes for Terminids, up to and including warrior size.
Haven't tried it on Automatons yet.
If you get enough speed, you can take out bile spewers as well.
Getting enough space to build up that momentum is a bit difficult though, and the explosion of goo to follow is also not really to be desired.

@BorebonesSuper Earth wants us to die to address the population problem, so who am I to argue? Driver, see that titan? Floor it.
I tried running the bugs over but it just pushed them around and in one instance stuck a spewer to my side door
straight to the point, quick and tells everything
very nice video, time to honk and blast warthog run
I hate how we can't customize keybinds for driving. Like if you don't use WASD, you can't even move. Anyway, thanks for the control breakdown.
R is reverse, if you fire in that gear you'll go backwards
N is neutral, car can't move
D is automatic, you dont have to change gears to 1 or 2, it auto changes for you
1 is for walking speed in the car
2 is faster than walking speed
1 and 2 are optional, ur good with just D
If 1 and 2 are codded properly, they are for going up steep hills you can't just beat with run up momentum.
@ramennight I'm not sure if they have done that because i haven't seen a diff, could be tho
Great video chief, quick and easy. No bs no fluff.
Thanks ! Do you happen to know the controls for xbox gamepad on pc ?
Great, thanks for the clear info.
Vehicle controls are fixed on console. So they can actively conflict with other settings. I cannot use the FRV or mechs because the conflicts are out to get me.
frv or mechs?
Does the FRV automatically steer towards the direction you're facing on console/controller?
If so, is there a way to do this on PC?
Thank you! I couldn't find the horn, and I needed it badly as for some reason honking at someone is the universal way of telling them to get in.
Auto reverse was definitely enabled by default for me on pc. Thanks for the how to! I couldn't figure out handbrake!
The FRV is literally a time saver! You have no idea how much time i can save on missions now just by using it.
Thank you for going over this! Didn't even realize there was a horn lmao
Very helpful. Didn't know it had a hand break or toggle lights.
Subscribed, W content and straight to the point.
you deserve more subs for that simple yet helpfull videos bro
I knew about the headlights assuming they'd work like on the Exosuits

Quick, simple and on point. Thats how u make a tutorial.
Thanks for the information mate, useful and to the point.
Thank you for the clear short concise video!!
I didn’t know we had a dedicated break button. Thank you
Hope we can rebind soon, my map key is C and it changes me out of the driving seat constantly lol
How do use the brake?
didnt know about the lights or handbrake, thank you!
But how do you peek outside the window to shoot with your gun? I see people do it but i dont know how!
Aim
Honestly
I like the idea of changing gears
I feel like it adds to the atmosphere
So my Q, can you switch back to the drivers seat via the map process
And for AZERTY player,no way to change keybind ?
This was worth it for the horn alone. The seatswap is good to know as well. ANd handbrake.
what are the controls translated for an xbox controller
My only complaint about the vehicle is that it tries to do a U-turn every time I so much as breathe on the steering wheel
My bones can only take so many impacts from hitting nearby obstacles repeatedly trying to turn left. Thank liberty for these (non-addictive) stims or we'd all be paste
love the new car, hope for more vehicles down the road. Also flipping it or headbutting a rock will eject your passengers xP very fun
thank you. great info
Thank you. Driving and Diving instructor DJchats.
You can drive while holding the SSSD, you get in the passenger seat and then swap to driver, thank you for the vid its the only way i found out 😂
Wonderful, thank you! o7
Damn now this is an informative video right here
I play with PC but I use my PS5 controller, so this is gold XD ty
That feeling when you bring up the map and try and mark a location only for you to stim and proceed to sit in the passenger seat like a moron.
I appreciate the unexpected realism in the new Honda Civic.
What's the difference between D 1 and 2
Not entirely sure between 1 and 2, but I do find the vehicle easier to handle in first gear rather than D
D means "drive". The vehicle will move forward and automatically change gears as it considers appropriate. 1 locks the gear to one, 2 locks the gear to 2. Most of the time you will be fine in D
More tracction
D is automatic, 1 and 2 are for manual transmission. Just like in a real car, 1st gear is to start moving, the speed is limited but the torque is high, 2nd gives you more speed, but you might have trouble going uphill because the torque is lower.
D is for driving, suitable for roads. 1 is for an unpaved yet flat terrain. (keep in mind you'll be sacrificing speed for movement capabilities when using these modes.
1 is decent traction with a small decline in speed and acceleration, while 2 is a major increase in traction with major reduction of speed and traction.)
so, say a grassy field or slight slopes; that's where you use 1.
2 is for going up and down hills; sand dunes, and the more rolling hills regions of the map!
i hope this helps you with the handling brodie, goodluck!
YOU CAN CHANGE SEATS?
I wish all tutorials were like this
What does number 1 and 2 do
I knew all of these but it’s good to inform others 👍
Great, thanks. was trying to figure out how to honk at people.
Thank you mate
TH-cam algorithym knew this was exactly what I wanted to know
thanks

For those having trouble driving in the sand, just go easy on the throttle and don't accelerate during turns. Even when not at top speed the recon is faster than running, so channel your inner soccer mom and take it easy.
Why would anyone think to open the map to swap seats? They really need to change that button on PS5!
Жесть, вот как до такого самому додуматься… Как раз думал как на геймпаде меня кресло, а тут такой ролик в рекомендациях
thanks for not making it 15 minutes long 💜
Would be useful to say what these buttons actually are by default, for the people who have remapped their controls.
It is default
I think I'm ready for my Super Driver's Test.
For tough terrain its better to stay in 1st gear, you get much better control.
I don't really use drive, 1st and 2nd are a lot more controllable.
OF COURSE i had to make the decision to rebind my Stims to C when the game launched 😭
please let us rebind vehicle keys AH im begging
You do realized ps5 can support a keyboard right? Like I can use all the mappings you guys have.
*Insert meme with scientists looking at test tube*
"Finally, vertical youtube shorts"
Nah fr great vid with not a single second wasted and definitely has the potential to become a series
they need to add the option to set the handbrake to park the FRV on inclines
I wish the mech had a honk so I could warn other divers to stop standing so close to my legs
Thx!
Any idea how to disable that disgusting automatic camera?
