A couple of tips to help you make the most of your Helldiver: - on the mini map the diamond icons are Points of Interest. They could have ammo, a support weapon, super credits, req slips, rare samples, etc. You definitely want to clear them to maximize your loot. -when using your support or primary weapon and you have the reticle dancing everywhere, take a knee or lie down to decrease your weapon sway 30% to 60%. Armor that has engineering kit or peak physique will also aid this. Guns like the Jar-5, autocannon, and HMG can take forever to swing onto target otherwise. -Learn how to hover Pelican-1. This is the fabled "5th Stratagem" and you can use Pelican-1 as fire support while you go off doing other things. Here's how: call in your extract, then move to 50 meters away. You'll know how far when you get the tab up top that says extract cancelling in 20 seconds, then move in a bit until it goes away. It is recommended that you find cover and lie down to avoid patrols. When the timer gets to 0, immediately run away from extract and get outside of the extract zone (not hard since you're already at the edge of it). Pelican-1 will be irritated and call for Helldivers to get into the extract zone. Go do what you have to do as Pelican -1 will hover there, shooting enemies with his autocannon. He can run out of ammo, but it takes a while. If you do this with a team, let them know in chat so you don't get kicked! There are some great videos from Eravin, ThiccFilA, and Claythetics on tips/tricks to helldiving. Give them a view. May Liberty speed you on your way!
