Hey fellow Helldivers,
I just installed the game and went through the tutorial and did my first mission where I had to blow up some transponder on some planet with robots.
Whats next? Should I just start picking random sectors and missions and keep playing? I still feel a little lost, like I don’t really feel like I know what I’m doing still lol. Is there a way to get more tips and tricks about how to play? Weapons and builds?
And how do I catch up on lore for the game so far? Sounds like we just lost something big (or maybe won something big) related to a Wormhole? How do I catch up on that?
Join other divers! I can maybe think of one or two matches in about a year that had a mean or toxic player, don’t be afraid to use the quickplay button from the galactic map! HD2 shines when you’re with other players. If you want the best chance of finding people, pay attention to the population count of the planet you’re diving on, which pops up when you hover over a planet or sector.
Don’t feel pressured to use a mic, the in game responses (yes, no, thank you, sorry, need supplies, wait, follow me) are great and so is chat
Try everything! New weapons, stratagems, etc.
