Thanks for having actual tips. Watched a number of videos that were "tips" and they were just opinions on what loadouts to use and "spam quickplay to fix quickplay" or "make sure to explore the map" It's nice to see someone that puts in effort for their content thanks again.

The one thing I'll add more about stims, is while that blue effect is on your screen, your also constantly regaining HP. Even when its already full, It doesn't make you outright invincible but if your about to start getting swarmed by bugs, exploded and so on, pop a stim, there's a decent chance you'll out heal the damage or survive whatever's about to hit you isn't an outright kill. Its saved my life a lot when it comes to a ton of hunters that have managed to jump at me or push through or when needed to push through a bug horde to finish the objective behind em.

Thats why I randomly get a new strategem 😂😂

Dude! So rare to see a supposed "tips" video that actually delivers. Love it.

One of the things the game doesn't explain at all, is the Eagle. So if you pick all 4 strategems as different Eagle strikes, Say, Airstrike, 110mm pods, Napalm and the 500kg bomb. Thats essentially outfitting your Eagle with all those weapons, so you have 2 uses on each and 1 500kg (without the upgrade) You can use all 7 of those in rapid succession with a 10 second timer in between each and the Eagle rearm strategem will return the jet early to resupply any uses you have used. Secondly, this isnt shown anywhere, on PS5 at least, Hold down on the D-pad to bring up a menu to drop samples, your support weapon or backpack, this is great for, say someone has a recoiless rifle, you can drop it for your teammate and have them load you to take down that incoming Bile Titan and then drop it again to give it back. Lastly Autocannon is a beast, this thing does it all, one shot for bug holes, clears big crowds, quick solo reloads, lots of ammo, and, you can solo chargers no problem. I just sprint straight at them, dive at an angle and then spin and dump the mag.

So say you have all eagle stratagems. You use up all the charges of your airstrikes. To refill this, you'd either put all your other eagle stratagems on CD by rearming, or else you keep going till you use up your other eagle stratagem charges then it auto re-arms?

Another min max tip about the supply backpack, when you restock the backpack with the supply stratagem you also resupply the ammo for the guns you are carrying, basically, its better for you to use the backpack supply on your teammates and get ammo for yourself from the supply drop.

Totally agree on the player pool. Its been a really positive experience.

This is why I love this channel, always give tips that aren’t just basic gameplay mechanics

Love helldivers 1 and absolutely loving helldivers 2. This will likely be my go to main multiplayer game now for the next 2 years or so. I am delighted with its success and just hope the devs dont cave in to the requests of all the noobs and nerf the game just because they have no idea how to play it yet. Aside from connection issues they have knocked it outta the park.

Nice, finally a video that's not clickbait and actually tells you something the tutorial doesn't already cover :)

5:45 This is a good tip in theory, but armor value is currently bugged and not actually applying any defensive bonus. You take the exact same amount of damage, and have the same limb wound threshold, regardless of whether you're wearing the lightest armor in the game or the heaviest. Every other armor stat works (speed, stamina, every armor passive except extra padding). Devs are aware and will get around to it, but given the server issues taking priority it might be a patch or two before the fix shows up so for the time being you're technically better off running the lightest armor you have in every possible scenario.

@sethnewlin510

@@AssClapCowboy Not fixed as of today Feb 23. All armor is functionally the same in terms of armor rating until this is fixed. It isn't clear if that means armor isn't being applied at all (armor rating 0) or if every piece of armor has the default value (armor rating 100) but either way light armor is definitely the meta.

One tip that I haven’t seen anyone talk about yet is the Pheromone sprayers. If you see one of the bugs setting up to start spitting that orange spray into the air, those are pheromones that tell their buddies where you are and the next thing you know a big hole opens up and all HELL breaks loose. If you learn what that animation looks likes for each MOB and you can nail that orange myst spewing sucker early enough it will stop the big hole from ever opening! Prioritize targets people

Don’t tell pugs to shoot chargers in the butt; their butt is only unarmored, you are supposed to pick one of their front legs and shoot it until the the armor comes off it, the weird colored flesh under the armor is the weak spot area, when the leg comes off the charger insta-dies.

Someone making this game is an actual vet. Heavy machine guns operate like its supposed to. Small squad tactics work. It even jas a carl that allows teams mates load for you, with accurately modeled backblast.

very useful tips

Very good tips

These are all incredibly helpful. Also the expendable anti tank gun is insanely good for lower levels v the tank enemies. You get two per drop and the cooldown is only 70sec. Destroy the armor on one leg and you can gun it down with the default rifle in about half a mag

I got the original Helldivers when it was a free monthly game one time and thought it was great. Definitely had me keeping an eye out for Helldivers 2. It is so cool how well it is being received.

This game came outta nowhere and its just been a blast

Just bought this game and I love it!

Small tips from recent session: Stance affects accuracy a lot. Firing prone with HMG or LMG is a must. There are a lot of stealth mechanic that nobody is mentioning. Crouching, or hiding behind rocks does help evade needles encounters with patrols (dont shoot everything on sight). Use turrets and mines to create chokepoints for bugs to go through, it will make defence missions easy if you also pummel them with LMG fire along with airsupport. Edit: Also use compass on the upper part of the screen. It gives you bearing on where does enemy come from. Great tool for sniper or other high ground scout to spot and inform the team of incoming threat.

I have clocked over 400+ hours in HD1, and I've been really excited to see what Arrowhead would do with a sequel. I absolutely love HD2, and I look forward to seeing what more they release to add on to the game. HD1 received steady, massive content updates _for years,_ and I expect the same will happen with HD2. My one and only complaint with HD2 is the way ammo count is portrayed. One of the most critical features in HD1 is every weapon would tell you when you were close to bottoming out the magazine. The tracers on projectile weapons would start to turn a bright red, and the firing sound would change. Laser weapons similarly would produce a ton of steam and glow as you approached the heat threshold, letting you know to let up and give it time to cool so you don't have to waste a reload. HD2 doesn't seem to have this crucial information conveyed by its weapons. I'm sure I'll eventually get used to developing a 'feel' for when I need to reload certain weapons, but what I liked about HD1 is every gun telegraphed this information perfectly, just from the way it sounded or looked while firing. I'd love to see this system put back into place in HD2.

One other thing about the supply pack is when your refilling your pack with a supply drop, it also refills your own ammo, grenades, and stims without consuming the uses any of the supplies.

My best advice is: Just run away or avoid. I get that it's very tempting to shoot whatever you see but even on the highest difficulty you can simply run away or just walk around a lot of things. The thing you really need to watch out for is stalkers/hunters or chargers, and the chainsaw/flying automotons. Everything else though you can pretty much just run away from if you're getting overwhelmed. Light armor and the shield backpack also help a lot in this case.
