Change These Helldivers 2 Settings Before Playing!

[@Octorious]

What's your ship called? Let me know! 👇 Also, if you're interested in PlayStation's new Pulse Elite headset, I have just made a video reviewing it & showing the best settings: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r52biGmiitShsNk. 🎧😊 Anyway, as promised, here are the sensitivity settings I have now decided on myself as well as some other tips & controller remappings. These are of course just my personal preference! Look sensitivity: 4.65 Aim Sensitivity: 0.25 Scope Sensitivity: 0.30 Acceleration Speed: 0.00 (Makes movement linear and much faster) Deadzone: 0.03 I have also unbinded the option to switch to grenades and have rebinded it to "Quick grenade" which allows you to throw it instantly with 1 button press. I MUCH prefer this and highly recommend it. I'm using a Dualsense Edge with R3 using the domed thumbstick and L3 using a concave stick. LB is mapped to the left d-pad button for grenade, and RB to circle for crouching & diving. I hope this helps even further & don't forget to check out that review/guide of the Pulse Elite headset too! 😊

Mine is the SES Custodian of Conviviality. Basically means "the janitor of friendship". Call it the COC. Wanted to call it the custodian of calamitous knowledge, but you get the idea.

A custodian is someone who cares or looks after something. Your ships name is more wholesome than funny lol

[@levibull6063]

A major tip for once you reach level 10 Autocannon can destroy bug nests I was curious and shot one ... been doing it on far nests now Also certain air strikes can destroy nests A good thrown airstrike can destroy a whole 4 nest And thats the last thing ... practice your throwing arm Its good to know your throwing distance (Mainly because some teammates may run into air strike so if theirs distance they can see it better) My last tip is if you want to do everything on the map before leaving try have it so you dont have to backtrack loads Been playing with a friend and we try to go round in a cicle or half circle finding bunkers and thinngs to collect Nests will always appear red Oh and their is a little bug i think when it comes to destroying a outpost It seems to be invincible sometimes

[@whiskslim237]

you can call in a hellbomb to destroy outposts. It's a special strategem you get whenever you walk into one of those areas. I've never had it bug on me so if that's what you're talking about make sure you check that.

[@levibull6063]

@@whiskslim237 I think that's it we've had it bug a few times on us Not all the time though Think we called it in once and a few other times nothing has appeared

[@novAviator01]

The grenade launcher also does break nests and it’s like level 3 and doesn’t require a backpack spot

[@Octorious]

@@whiskslim237 Great tips, thanks for sharing! :)

[@SeeYouRyu2032]

The auto cannon can also destroy bot fabricators as well. Just aim for the angled surface above the opening about halfway up. Just don't be more than 45 degrees off angle or the shot will ricochet off and do nothing.

[@mrcrensh]

many of these settings are what makes the game look so cinematic. yes, as raw gameplay people want frames over looks, but some of the settings makes it look like a movie

[@aadi-uu4gz]

i play on 720p with everything low bring cinematic doesn’t matter anymore😭🙏🏽🙏🏽

My ship's called the 'Fist of Selfless Service' It gave the boys a good laugh when they noticed

[@ReadyPlayerDog]

Oh man! Mine is called Knight of Midnight, but I think I'll change it to Fist of Midnight 😂😂😂. I never saw Fist!!

[@williamnixon3994]

Mine's "Representative of Personal Merit". You have three guesses for why, but you should only need one :P

[@Plathismo]

I also went into the button remapping and changed the activation of strategems to Long Press L1 instead of Hold L1, turning it into a toggle. It feels much less awkward now not having to keep L1 pressed while I'm pressing the directional buttons with the same hand.

[@pell0]

My issue with this is that you need to keep moving with left stick while calling down supplies and allies while chased by critters so getting into the habit of using right hand for strat's inputs makes sense?

[@TehButterflyEffect]

Or use a mouse and keyboard so you can shoot accurately while moving.

[@TheBoogerJames]

Hood settings sounds like something you change on your gun before entering certain neighborhoods. Cheers from across the pond.

[@thetaoist8]

Hammer of Peace It just sounds oxymoronic and fits the theme of the game.

[@parajared]

1)change your stratagem bindings from WASD to arrow keys so that you can move and call in stratagems at the same time. 2) change "mission info visibility" under HUD so that mission timer is always visible (this also shows difficulty level) 3) turn mouse smoothening off

[@muscles_glasses]

[@erjstreaming]

As Halo fan, and the armor of the Helldivers reminds me of the ODST, my ship is the Arbiter of the Truth. Great tips btw!

[@LordTakahashi]

This is literally why I love Helldivers so much. It's basically an ODST game. Only you're fighting other enemies instead of the Cov. Got the Pelican. Fighters. Drop pods. Armor. Massive ship. Perfection.

[@erjstreaming]

@@LordTakahashi Exactly!! Calling in the Orbital Strikes reminds me so much of the bombing from the defensive space stations.

[@walkerfreeman2697]

For console I’d honestly remap bindings. 1 allow your tac map open button to also mark a location. making is simple to exit your map while also using the tac pad on the controller (refer #’s 5 & 7) 2 remap to stratagem controls to the right side of your controller as it makes it easier and you don’t have to claw to make movements 3 set open stratagem menu to the double tap right side bumper, make first person sight a single tap for the right bumper as well. 4 map camera switch left/right to the sprint button bc it’s a long press you can still sprint if you just tap it 5 remap dove and crouch to the right stick, dove is double tap crouch is just a press. I did opt out of having a melee by doing this and it’s also required if you go through with #2 6 set ping to left bumber 7 Set interact to double tap because if stratagems are on the right side you will have problems using terminals.

[@SheerSarcasm]

I like your binds but I'm unable to turn valves with them. Any suggestions?

[@walkerfreeman2697]

@@SheerSarcasm press pause then press circle to go back to the game and itll move the valves

[@someguyusa]

That seems very unnecessary. The controls are plenty simple and easy on default. The most you might need to adapt is switching your right thumb to the left stick while dialing in stratagems if you want to keep running simultaneously.

Remember to bind quick throw grenade on PS5, it is unbound by default. I remapped it to D-pad right, that was for switch to grenade. Only bind it once, it will notify you that select grenade will unmap. But if you do it again it will also unmap other D-pad right options. Also Gyro is awesome, and I prefer it on aim down sight only, not always.

This video lacks of one fundamental option tip: VERTICAL FIELD OF VIEW, which should be all the way up to 90, provides you a better peripheral vision and this improves your awareness on where are teammates, enemies, objects...

[@breadboi8747]

I wish I could get a different looking ship. Seeing all the ships outside of yours when you’re in orbit is very cool but when you notice they’re exactly the same ship, it kinda removes some of the cool factor

[@Octorious]

I get what you mean for sure! I see it as the fact that all the ships, gear etc is all just made as efficiently as possible on Super Earth, and the ships are sort of the signature Helldiver look. Sort of how most Star destroyers look the same or are very similar in design in star wars. They become a symbol :)

Disabling depth of field is a must, not because of the visuals, but because it far far harder to aim for powerful enemies when dropping down onto the planet. The game focuses on your hellpod and makes the ground entirely blurry.
