😂😂 omg that hot key for automatic keying strats definitely an L WTF thats part of the game trying to drop reinforcements on helldive difficulty panic of battle trying not to get hit and hit all the keys right 😂 I dont actually care those moments of panic are just golden
I wish I knew this had Chinese Spyware posing as Anti-Cheat Software. Seriously, why is no one talking about the kernel-level malware that doesn't uninstall from your computer?
This game is great. It is so engaging. Getting side tracked on clearing out nests or looking for items doesn’t feel like a chore on the way to the main objectives. Something about being in a fireteam and moving as a group just makes this play so well.
same here, this tips reminds me back mastering the essentials on DRG or Vermintide to get into higher difficulties. the macros are such a big brain move for people who jsut wanna take their time relax and in a way an accessibility option of having these much keys as a PC user.
Dude, light armor is the GOAT. Did you know you can crouch and army crawl past most enemies with the stealth sets? I've run solo level 5 diff. Used stealth set and bombers to kill objectives and just ran from grunts. You do gotta cherry pick though.
Nah. If I use that I can't hold ammo backpack for my Autocannon. You can still do solo without that shield. That shield are for cowards and maybe they managed to pass the Helldivers test because their parents knew the higher-ups.
@@rumuelnathanael8043 Arc Thrower and Railgun is better than Autocannon and free you from its backpack. A side shot to Chargers with Arc can literally destroy their armor and kill them with 3-5 shots while I didn't test it on Bile Titans yet, Arc Thrower guarantees that you damage heavies regardless where you shot them. Rail gun can 5 shot Chargers with head shots and kills Titans on 10. A shield backpack can multiply your health and survivability by at least 3 times and when the shiled goes down, it will only take 5 seconds to recharge and protect you from further damage (granted not burst damage like getting skewered or acid by a titan or your own strategems). If you don't like Light armor you can don the armors that gives 50% chance to survive fatal damage and walk away from death and improves your survivability and effective HP from 3x (shield backpack) to 3.5x with said armor. Hope it helps your Autocannon dilemma and dive feet first into hell brother.
Me getting blown up the first time cause I was looking for pickups and didn't realize a big boom was coming. My teammates knew and said nothing. We had a good laugh about my sacrifice.
The first time I saw a random hellbomb on the ground I shot at it, not knowing what it was, within about 5 seconds my body was being flown across the map
Also a good tip to know js to remember to equip a booster when you get one from the warbond. I was under the misconception that it was always active once I bought it. It’s also not consumable, so be sure to check the icon to the far right of your load out next to your stratagems before a mission.
Using macros to circumvent the unique code combinations seems to go against the spirit of the game. Anxiety is absolutely supposed to cause you to slip up applying these codes. :(
Anxiety isnt going to be as much of a thing with practice, but I tend to agree that they are in the game for good reason. Anyone who also feels this way should recognize a middle road: on PC rebind the keys to the arrow keys so you can still move with WASD.
@@jc6226when I‘m walking and press CONTROL for tiping in the code my character imidiatley stops walking before I pressed any button. I don‘t think this work.
There are also a lot of things on the different planets that interact with each other: - Ice planets (= with the "freezing cold" debuff) lets you use the handheld laser a lot longer, because it's not overheating as fast, as it would do on a non ice planet. - Patches of ice can be slippery - especially for a Charger at full speed. ;) - Chargers can be stunned, if they charge at you, and you dodge out of the way in time - revealing a big rock behind you. Time to shoot the Charger's back now. (We even managed to get to Chargers to charge each other - both were stunned for a short time afterwards) - If you have to walk through deep snow, the first person will be slower, but every other person right behind the first will be a lot faster, because there is already a trench for them to walk in - The plants can be interacted with: The yellow ones explode (on impact, or when shot), the blue ones slow for a short time. Those can be used to lure in enemies for an advantage. - Every Stratagem can be used as a makeshift weapon, provided your aim is good (e.g. landing a resupply pod on a big enemy - same for the drop pod, but you may die doing so) - Turning off your flashlight will reduce the aggro range, especially if you are crouching to sneak by an enemy patrol. Smoke launched from the Destroyer, Eagles or by walking over those spore plants also helps to hide your movement.
It's insane how the dev hid these little interactive details into the game when it's almost always completely ignored by lesser and bigger budget games.
I got booted while the Pelican was lifting off when someone called it in too fast (one of us was still on the other side of the map) and the host ran into my line of fire with 30 seconds left until the ship arrived. The wandering diver called the reinforcement so the host dropped on the wrong side of the map and only I made it out...but since I got booted I got nothing. We were on the mission for 20 minutes clearing all red zones.
Nice video, I learned a few things. I rebound my strategem call in keys to the arrow keys, and this lets me run around while calling them in. I also set the strategem menu to open on press instead of hold so I have an easier time sprinting with the menu out. I do have to take my hand off my mouse when I call them in so there is a trade-off, but it seems very worth it to me since moving without looking around is more valuable than standing still and looking around imo.
When you start reloading a weapon (Static animation), cancel the animation because, for example a big a** crusher is charging at you , the reload animation start where you left it
A super important thing the game doesn't tell you at all is how eagle stratagems work which is terrible because they are super OP. The way it works is all your eagle stratagems are lumped together on a fighter plane and the "uses" is not a limit per mission like helldivers 1, it is how many times it can be used before you send your eagle on a rearming trip. So effectively you can burn these on the super short cooldown (15 seconds or 7 with the upgrade) and when you have downtime send your eagle to rearm. The only downside is all the stratagems share a cooldown and rearm but it's 7 seconds oh no what ever will I do, and the rearm is about 2-3 minutes so it's less than a lot of the orbital strikes.
I'm just imagining a mode with dozens of players taking on a full horde of enemies across a massive battlefield. Probably won't happen but is was a nice thought.
Another tip with the Artillery setup, lets say you have 3 yellow next to eachother and yellow was what you would call next when using it, it will fire all 3 yellow together, same with any other colors. I personally find it best to stagger the colors, but I could see it being fun to drop 5 nukes in a single spot in 1 call as well.....
Im praying they're able to add content regularly enough to keep the game afloat. The core gameplay and bones are so good and ripe for expansion. I really dont want this to end up on the huge pile of live service games that die in their first year
If you didn't play the first game. It had a whole other faction to fight. By the end they also had 3 additional difficulties, nearly doubled the base game's weapons and strategies, added a new enemies to each faction including a super boss for each faction. And that was with waaaaay less funding and waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay less eyes on the game.
@@judesemo Yeah but you know how game companies go nowadays once they make it big they're not obligated to keep going. Sometimes they just take the money/fame and run, like palworld. That or they just aren't prepared for it and don't know how to keep people interested.
I'm on PC and won't be using macros. That's try-hard shit, not in the spirit of the game. "War isn't fair" you say? Then get out of your chair and join the army.
I’d like to also point out there are planet modifiers that can scramble/swap your stratagem inputs so that resupply macro could turn into an air strike if you aren’t careful
I've actually made enough super credits to buy the premium pack and one armor set no real cash needrd. Very generous if you play hard to get the credits.
I'm diving into Helldivers 2 with zero experience so each of these tips will be useful and it's nice to know you can build a support build as I love to help fellow gamers in general.
Worth mentioning with the ping system you can ping a teammates ping to 'confirm' it, with a voiceline indicating you're going towards it. You can also un-ping your own ping by re-pinging it in case you did it by accident or something.
A secondary tip for supporting. If you aren't really supporting, then be on the look out for someone who is. They probably have heals or ammo for you. Heck, they're probably looking for you too. Link up with them and let them support you.
A very important tip I see no one mention: USE YOUR BOOSTERS! These are permanent bonuses that can really help your squad complete the mission. To equip it, select the hexagon on the right when you're picking your strategems. Do note: only one type of booster can be active at a time but this doesn't mean you can only have one booster active. Be sure to talk to the others so you can get the full benefits.
I believe that everything that they don't teach you in the game Helldivers 2 is part of the game's satire. It sends players into a total war scenario with minimal training, which encourages cooperation amongst team members. This also makes veteran players train newbies based on their experience. The knowledge of the game is mostly passed on through word of mouth. This is one of the great things about Helldivers 2 - it forces players to learn by doing, putting their knowledge into practice, and teaching others on their team.
ProTip!!! Aim mode toggle (FPV/3PV) can be done (only if you use hold mouse aim, which is default) can be set so tapping RMB uses FPV, and holding uses 3PV. This is FAR preferable to using MMB to toggle into FPV.
For the love of Liberty please don't respawn me in the middle of a group of opps. I can't tell you how many times I've been respawned just to get instantly rekilled 😅
If you can, try to throw the the backup request up on high ground. That way when your teammate(s) land, they'll already have high ground advantage, which also benefits you 🫵
On PS5 you can use the touchpad to navigate the map and place markers, quick tip, when you loose everything from dieing and you get back on the field, navigate the map with the touchpad and mark your lost weapons and samples so you can easily find them.
some tips from my group, disposable anti tank are over looked, they are SOOOO much better than the recoilless it's not even funny, faster follow up shots and in the time it takes to reload and use all you're shots, you can have like.. .4 disposable AT shots that can be picked up by anyone fired and forgotten. tesla coils great for area denial along with the orbital shotgun, 500kg is bunker buster, it destroys all that is armoured...as long as it hits. the auto cannons is great, but the rail gun is better. and with a back pack of ammo it's WAY more versatile. two man battle buddy teams using both of those weapons with orbital lasers and 500kg bombs make short work of just about anything. we have been cruising the higher difficulties with that setup. theres also an anti air emplacement you can get that drops all drop pods for the clankers basically automatically. napalm is fantastic for the bugs and the fire grenades work similarly well when paired with the auto shotgun the breaker. after you orient satellite dishes they show where everything is on the map. there are nukes that can be found un-exploded on the map, they are great when in a shit situation and you want everything dead. bile titans CAN be killed with rail guns if the placement's correct and they are over charged. the robots are susceptible to suppressive fire and thus can be pushed back and have their aim fucked with.
I think I discovered something by accident last night and I haven't had the time to try it again today, but I was able to stick an orbital strike marker onto bugs instead of just tossing it on the ground and hoping they'd still be there when the strike landed. I threw the marker out in a dust storm and couldn't see much, but I saw the light moving around and come toward me with the rest of the swarm before they got hit. Could be useful when you want to make sure an elite unit gets hit instead of moving out of range.
Dude a gun range on the ship before you drop. That way you can tweak your settings and then actually use it, instead of just a Hail Mary against a charger 😂
I've been wanting a shooting range and mod station on the ship once I unlocked all the weapons. I walked into every mission experimenting with every gun.
Tip shoot the charger with a recoiless in one of the legs the armor will come off and then just shoot the leg with your primary and boom its dead makes them seem like nothing now
This game is dope! I should've bought this game on release because I didn't know how good it was going to be. Crazy hours is going to be put in Hell Divers 2 👊🏿
You saved yourself a bit of headache with early issues. Unless you had friends to fill out a squad and a fairly new and powerful machine, you would have been in for a bad time.
i would like to say i am thankful someone made this but also remember to mention that the team who made the game intended for you to drop in with the same training the helldivers get which means barely any so you have to learn by yourself its good someone is willing to teach i had a great friend teaching me first time too but i learnt most of the controls on my own just going around clicking bottoms because i was bored walking or accidentally doing it when intense combat was happening around me great vid tho definetly helpful
You missed the 2 person vaults but maybe that's more obvious than blowing up the metal containers 😊 Thanks for the video! I got a lot of little tips I didn't know. My favorite was healing another party member
Number one “things I wish I knew sooner” … the fact that HellDivers existed!! I was a month late to the party and never knew of the first game. 😅 GOAT of Games
This is a really good video. The tips aren't obvious and they are extremely helpful. I'm a new player, and I feel like I, too, can be a True Hero and spread Managed Democracy across the galaxy!
Never thought about using Macros for the Stratigems (mostly because I've never bothered using Macros before), but honestly, typing it out mid battle is part of the fun. maybe after a ton of gameplay I'll consider it, but for now, it adds to the enjoyment.
This game deserves GoTY for me. Me and my hubby and friends have been looking for a game to play together, as we are tired of current options (*cough cough* Diablo 4), and this game popped up. SO FRICKING FUN! Thanks for your tips, I learned a lot! My favorite one is the keyboard macro program! Definitely going to be taking advantage of that!
I’d like to officially coin the phrase “Bop” for Bot Drops. Had that little epiphany the other night. lol But seriously, some new tips and tricks in here I hadn’t figured out yet. Thanks!!!
I dunno if others have experienced this as well, but I have a lot of my “teammates” kill me multiple times in a game to steal the samples you drop, not everyone is trying to help you, be cautious
thanks for the tips! mostly the support tips. i wasn't aware there's more team oriented gameplay to it, if only quick match teammates didn't scatter around the map 😅, itll come in handy for people aiming for roles to play in a squad or a team packed w/ firepower already.
There are weapons that work in duo formations, and the game can really start feeling tactical in a squad of gamers who are also friends and on Comms. Random matches are really for efficiency in farming. Just scatter and close asap.
As someone who grew up watching starship troopers i never thought i'd get to play a game based off of it wild times, also im glad i looked up this video because i went in blind for an hour reminds me of dark souls but im not dying 24/7.
One thing I hope they do with the weapons or future ones is the addition for load out customization and Sight swaps or stuff that improves basically anything regarding weapon handling Basically have a gunsmith I know it cuts into the fact that they won't be able to market guns as their own weapons but they could just make it so buying those or earning those unlocks those attachments as well
We point them out for people who need them with much lower dexterity or disabilities. We've run into hundreds of players at higher difficulties very clearly using them. It's a PvE game with no competitive aspect.
I love the fact that there was a commercial with Arnold Schwarzenegger before the video and I just thought how amazing it is to have Arnold Schwarzenegger in Helldivers
Couldve sworn that when i was using the supply-backpack, i was able to refill my backpack by picking up ammo/supplies off the ground.. But i loaded up to play the next day and now its no longer a function..?
i think it'd be a cool idea for the game to implement an in-game voting system or something like that. npcs talk about how theres a vote coming up. maybe we can choose a certain leader that gives different month or so long buffs like shorter cool downs or more reinforcements
Love the laser rover because it catches those sudden random attacks from the rear! That we all know can be extremely overwhelming when input is delayed when getting attacked, But really wish they would update the rover and allow it to only activate when you aim at an object, can’t blame them, it can be annoying getting caught in the beam as well inflicting damage on yourself as well as your team. Looking forward to future updates and patches. Lastly also would be nice if we had the option to turn on/off friendly fire to prevent these issues, including a close game/ save option as well!
I know it's stupid but you didn't explain what what missile launches first but you provide awesome information that I didn't know keep it up helldivers 👌
One thing I wish I knew sooner was the premium tree is all garbage except for the explosive assult rifle. The last one that is 80 medals is pure garbage.
Autocannons and pretty much any explosive weapon barring the explosive Liberator can close bug holes. The AC is just best at it It can also knock out Spore Spewers, destroy radio towers for the Terminate Broadcast optional objective and Automaton communications system POIs

The amount of times I've called down the Hellbomb and ran away, not knowing you had to activate it lol.

Also a good tip to know js to remember to equip a booster when you get one from the warbond. I was under the misconception that it was always active once I bought it. It’s also not consumable, so be sure to check the icon to the far right of your load out next to your stratagems before a mission.
I really do wish it would just stay selected between missions as I've forgotten mine a few times
Also the boosters do not stack so everyone should bring a different booster for max effectiveness
I was worried about them being consumables, thanks for this! Now I know to buy them

Once the mission timer runs out, you can still extract whenever, but you can’t use stratagems
Exactly. It does make it way harder tho. This made me realize how much of an impact they have on gameplay
You get less xp after the timer runs out though
Ohh damn i alwayd thought you were forced to complete it before the timer runs out xD

Worth mentioning with the ping system you can ping a teammates ping to 'confirm' it, with a voiceline indicating you're going towards it. You can also un-ping your own ping by re-pinging it in case you did it by accident or something.
A secondary tip for supporting.
If you aren't really supporting, then be on the look out for someone who is. They probably have heals or ammo for you. Heck, they're probably looking for you too. Link up with them and let them support you.
A very important tip I see no one mention: USE YOUR BOOSTERS! These are permanent bonuses that can really help your squad complete the mission. To equip it, select the hexagon on the right when you're picking your strategems. Do note: only one type of booster can be active at a time but this doesn't mean you can only have one booster active. Be sure to talk to the others so you can get the full benefits.
I believe that everything that they don't teach you in the game Helldivers 2 is part of the game's satire. It sends players into a total war scenario with minimal training, which encourages cooperation amongst team members. This also makes veteran players train newbies based on their experience. The knowledge of the game is mostly passed on through word of mouth. This is one of the great things about Helldivers 2 - it forces players to learn by doing, putting their knowledge into practice, and teaching others on their team.
ProTip!!!
Aim mode toggle (FPV/3PV) can be done (only if you use hold mouse aim, which is default) can be set so tapping RMB uses FPV, and holding uses 3PV. This is FAR preferable to using MMB to toggle into FPV.
Thats huge. Ty, fellow Helldiver!
For the love of Liberty please don't respawn me in the middle of a group of opps. I can't tell you how many times I've been respawned just to get instantly rekilled 😅
If you can, try to throw the the backup request up on high ground. That way when your teammate(s) land, they'll already have high ground advantage, which also benefits you 🫵

Nonsense, soldier! You are but a round in the chamber of the glorious gun of freedom!
Worse is when they spawn u 1000m away from you support weapon 😤😤
On PS5 you can use the touchpad to navigate the map and place markers, quick tip, when you loose everything from dieing and you get back on the field, navigate the map with the touchpad and mark your lost weapons and samples so you can easily find them.
some tips from my group, disposable anti tank are over looked, they are SOOOO much better than the recoilless it's not even funny, faster follow up shots and in the time it takes to reload and use all you're shots, you can have like.. .4 disposable AT shots that can be picked up by anyone fired and forgotten. tesla coils great for area denial along with the orbital shotgun, 500kg is bunker buster, it destroys all that is armoured...as long as it hits. the auto cannons is great, but the rail gun is better. and with a back pack of ammo it's WAY more versatile. two man battle buddy teams using both of those weapons with orbital lasers and 500kg bombs make short work of just about anything. we have been cruising the higher difficulties with that setup. theres also an anti air emplacement you can get that drops all drop pods for the clankers basically automatically. napalm is fantastic for the bugs and the fire grenades work similarly well when paired with the auto shotgun the breaker. after you orient satellite dishes they show where everything is on the map. there are nukes that can be found un-exploded on the map, they are great when in a shit situation and you want everything dead. bile titans CAN be killed with rail guns if the placement's correct and they are over charged. the robots are susceptible to suppressive fire and thus can be pushed back and have their aim fucked with.
EAT user here, I like EAT better than recoilless because if I die, I can just call another EAT because its cooldown is faster
I think I discovered something by accident last night and I haven't had the time to try it again today, but I was able to stick an orbital strike marker onto bugs instead of just tossing it on the ground and hoping they'd still be there when the strike landed. I threw the marker out in a dust storm and couldn't see much, but I saw the light moving around and come toward me with the rest of the swarm before they got hit. Could be useful when you want to make sure an elite unit gets hit instead of moving out of range.
You definitely can, but it's pretty hard to do consistently...especially if you don't want to be near it when it goes off.
I appreciate when these videos cater to all gamers, not just PC.
Awesome to see Legacy Gaming covering Helldivers 2! Thank you, Team!
9:38 you can also use a weapon like the sniper or an auto cannon to crack the containers
On PS5, I didn't know you could bind a button to "instant grenade." That was an instant game changer.
How do you do that
@@hekidayo Just read the keybinds
my favorite is changing dive prone from ALT to double pressing spacebar
your production quality is legit :D
i recently got into helldivers 2 and this video is really helpful. thank you!
Dude a gun range on the ship before you drop. That way you can tweak your settings and then actually use it, instead of just a Hail Mary against a charger 😂
I've been wanting a shooting range and mod station on the ship once I unlocked all the weapons. I walked into every mission experimenting with every gun.
For a good laugh try crouching as you carry the artillery shells. My dude has amazing core strength 😂
Tip shoot the charger with a recoiless in one of the legs the armor will come off and then just shoot the leg with your primary and boom its dead makes them seem like nothing now
This game is dope! I should've bought this game on release because I didn't know how good it was going to be. Crazy hours is going to be put in Hell Divers 2 👊🏿
You saved yourself a bit of headache with early issues. Unless you had friends to fill out a squad and a fairly new and powerful machine, you would have been in for a bad time.
i would like to say i am thankful someone made this but also remember to mention that the team who made the game intended for you to drop in with the same training the helldivers get which means barely any so you have to learn by yourself its good someone is willing to teach i had a great friend teaching me first time too but i learnt most of the controls on my own just going around clicking bottoms because i was bored walking or accidentally doing it when intense combat was happening around me great vid tho definetly helpful
Amazing tips in here, specifically the macros and the supply backpack
Pretty useful tips & tricks. Thanks mate!
You missed the 2 person vaults but maybe that's more obvious than blowing up the metal containers 😊 Thanks for the video! I got a lot of little tips I didn't know. My favorite was healing another party member
Just started today and loving it
Those soft spots on spitters and chargers take full explosive damage but only ten percent of bullet damage
Well, it's +100% and +10%, so explosive does double damage, but regular ammo does 110%, or +10% damage, whatever is easier to understand
I did not know about the crates,scope and fire rate mode. Thank you soo much for these awesome tips
Thank you for calling them Mags and Rounds
You don't like clips? :P
@@LegacyGamingUS 😉
Number one “things I wish I knew sooner” … the fact that HellDivers existed!! I was a month late to the party and never knew of the first game. 😅 GOAT of Games
You can bind strata gem controls to arrow keys so you can call in strata gems while moving.
thanks for this man I play a lot of division 2 as my main game and so some of these tips are key I just copped this last night
This is a really good video. The tips aren't obvious and they are extremely helpful. I'm a new player, and I feel like I, too, can be a True Hero and spread Managed Democracy across the galaxy!
Never thought about using Macros for the Stratigems (mostly because I've never bothered using Macros before), but honestly, typing it out mid battle is part of the fun. maybe after a ton of gameplay I'll consider it, but for now, it adds to the enjoyment.
Yep, was just a suggestion for those that need it.
This game deserves GoTY for me. Me and my hubby and friends have been looking for a game to play together, as we are tired of current options (*cough cough* Diablo 4), and this game popped up. SO FRICKING FUN!
Thanks for your tips, I learned a lot! My favorite one is the keyboard macro program! Definitely going to be taking advantage of that!
Good info. Thanks for Sharing!
W video dude. I'm subbing!
I’d like to officially coin the phrase “Bop” for Bot Drops. Had that little epiphany the other night. lol
But seriously, some new tips and tricks in here I hadn’t figured out yet. Thanks!!!
This game brought back my love for gaming
Awesome vid. Thanks.
I dunno if others have experienced this as well, but I have a lot of my “teammates” kill me multiple times in a game to steal the samples you drop, not everyone is trying to help you, be cautious
People are just dumb and don't realize samples are shared (along with everything else).
love the content, whats your mic, the sound is amazing!
Love this game so far!
Very well explained. I will buy the game tomorrow.
God dammit always on point not wasting time on explination!!! Good work man
That's gameplay looks incredible!!! Damn i need this!
First perspective? I thought it's called Scope View. The Marker feature was helpfully explained.
thanks for the tips! mostly the support tips. i wasn't aware there's more team oriented gameplay to it, if only quick match teammates didn't scatter around the map 😅, itll come in handy for people aiming for roles to play in a squad or a team packed w/ firepower already.
There are weapons that work in duo formations, and the game can really start feeling tactical in a squad of gamers who are also friends and on Comms. Random matches are really for efficiency in farming. Just scatter and close asap.
started this game today, and broo what an amazing super funny game, and now with this tips I can play better, thanks
As someone who grew up watching starship troopers i never thought i'd get to play a game based off of it wild times, also im glad i looked up this video because i went in blind for an hour reminds me of dark souls but im not dying 24/7.
Supply pack isn’t only ammo. It’s grenades and stims and it’s hella clutch and the only pack I use
Good lord there's a lot they forgot or neglected to explain. Thanks for the info.
Excellent game - very helpful video!
Good stuff bruv
I've been playing so much and only just now realised you can use the supply pack on yourself. N e a t ! (Thank you for making this video)
Nice tips thanks!
One thing I hope they do with the weapons or future ones is the addition for load out customization and Sight swaps or stuff that improves basically anything regarding weapon handling
Basically have a gunsmith
I know it cuts into the fact that they won't be able to market guns as their own weapons but they could just make it so buying those or earning those unlocks those attachments as well
using macros to do strats takes the fun out of it
We point them out for people who need them with much lower dexterity or disabilities. We've run into hundreds of players at higher difficulties very clearly using them. It's a PvE game with no competitive aspect.
I love the fact that there was a commercial with Arnold Schwarzenegger before the video and I just thought how amazing it is to have Arnold Schwarzenegger in Helldivers
reloading is faster when there is a round in the chamber, not necessarily in the magazine.
New school armorines. Love it so much
Fun fact : if you pick grenade with already a grenade in you hand you get a fre grenade
Couldve sworn that when i was using the supply-backpack, i was able to refill my backpack by picking up ammo/supplies off the ground..
But i loaded up to play the next day and now its no longer a function..?
firing mode was my biggest game changer.
i think it'd be a cool idea for the game to implement an in-game voting system or something like that. npcs talk about how theres a vote coming up. maybe we can choose a certain leader that gives different month or so long buffs like shorter cool downs or more reinforcements
Thanks man great help[
Love the laser rover because it catches those sudden random attacks from the rear! That we all know can be extremely overwhelming when input is delayed when getting attacked, But really wish they would update the rover and allow it to only activate when you aim at an object, can’t blame them, it can be annoying getting caught in the beam as well inflicting damage on yourself as well as your team.
Looking forward to future updates and patches.
Lastly also would be nice if we had the option to turn on/off friendly fire to prevent these issues, including a close game/ save option as well!
I know it's stupid but you didn't explain what what missile launches first but you provide awesome information that I didn't know keep it up helldivers 👌
god dam never knew about firing modes thank u i saw it pop up but didnt know how i did it
I got the game today. Wish I had friends who were also interested in spreading freedom and democracy.
One thing I wish I knew sooner was the premium tree is all garbage except for the explosive assult rifle. The last one that is 80 medals is pure garbage.
Autocannons and pretty much any explosive weapon barring the explosive Liberator can close bug holes. The AC is just best at it
It can also knock out Spore Spewers, destroy radio towers for the Terminate Broadcast optional objective and Automaton communications system POIs
With some luck and slight elevation, AC can also destroy the automaton factory buildings, like a grenade can.
If you are going to talk about controls, you should mention both the keyboard and controller inputs. You dont need a playstation. You can look it up.
So can you, it's in your menu
really good tips!
