I highly recommend getting the Expendable Anti-Tank and Eagle Airstrike early on as nothing is worse than having to face down a Charger or Walkers while unlocking difficulties with little more than some HE Grenades and an Orbital Precision Strike on a 100s cooldown.

[@GiovanniMinotte]

I think the Recoilless rifle is a better option than the expendable as you can reload it and if you hit a charger in the head with it its a 1 shot kill

[@Spal2tan117]

I would recommend if u Play Solo to complete the Mission First. Even if u die and fail to extract u get all the rewards regardless of the extraction succes.

It makes the second mg you get so good it has a max fire rate of 1250 :D

[@HondaWanderer]

That is a tip that the game DOES tell you.... very early on

[@munkychimp]

Holding the reload button just blew my mind 😅

[@Dirt1061]

My tip is to try lots of things, weapons, stratagems, unlocks, etc to find what you feels good to you. And have fun! I enjoy different builds from my friends and we all like different gear.

[@napynap]

Wish I saw this when I was level 1! I'm still a beginner at 11. Love the style of presentation. Thank you for this!

[@manbeerpigs16]

beat my first mission...barely. called in the extraction with no ammo at all. Havent had a stressful and fun game like that in a while lol

[@charleswilliam8335]

This is SUCH a great beginner video. I didn't watch any videos just jumped in the game but you need to watch at least a couple guide videos and this is a great one, thanks!

[@overthrone3494]

Yeah or atleast play with someone who knows. Personally I’d recommend all new player unlock every stratagem that costs 1500 currency so you can go with as many as possible and save your money for the stuff you unlock later

[@glowingmist00]

If you like to solo, I suggest getting mortars sentry. It’s such a powerful tool in solo but with friendly fire on, it’s not so great in coop 😂

[@Masoniscoolbeans]

Yep

[@survivorsfederation4346]

I just played my first mission, it was pumping fuel. I ran into two pretty big groups of termanids and didn’t realize stealth existed. I barely extracted in the midst of three or four fire tornados. Shit was fun af, I’m hooked.

[@Spartan-P]

"Danger" and "Mastery" have no meaning in our lives. We jump, now. We jump feet first into Hell.

[@yalej]

[@grumpy-dad3701]

My reactions are far too slow for this game. Takes an age for me to remember what button, then to follow the up,down,left,right commands Or forgetting to reload.

[@TheSussuBarbara]

Thanks for the tutorial! This really helped me to understand the game as a new player 😊

[@CBeavr]

...why did you tell ppl to spend medals on cosmetics and credits early again? Credits I could understand being for buying the premium warbond in the future, but i feel like it's better for them to just get the armors and weapons to try out while levelling up and still progress through the default warbond that way...

[@G4M5T3R]

I had to buy all but 2 cosmetics just to get to the 3rd teir. Unless the requirements chill at higher teirs I don't think it matters what you buy to progeress the standard bond.

[@yurotk]

checking your surroundings while running away is also very helpful

[@overthrone3494]

So my personal strategy is to u lock all the stratagems that cost 1500 r. Personally I run a machine gun sentry a grenade launcher orbital precision and the basic eagle airstrike. That way you have things to rotate between from every category with less overlap. Not that it isn’t good to have choices for support weapons but since you can only hold 1 a time it probably isn’t the smartest thing to do early game. I chose these cause they cost the least so I can save my currency for all the level 10 u lock stratagems. It’s my second day playing and I’m level 6 rn

I’ve played two sessions. This feels like clunky destiny, without magic, and basically only doing tasks that resemble daily’s and world events. Insane that people liked this.

not like destiny at all to me. you’re not repeating the same mission over and over hoping for a weapon part.

Why. It me til. The satellites you can activate that will reveal areas of interest on the map? And the diamond markers on the map as well. Heavy activity areas marked in red are key as well.

[@leisureaccount7267]

Call in resupply strategem and support stratagem and rotate between all three weapons, also dont spam fire but fire in bursts if possible and use sentry strategems as cover fire when necessary

[@JamalWalker-xi7yv]

What I don’t get is it’s a 4 coop game but when I hover over to a planet it’ll say 40000 hell divers on the map. And when I click on one of the planet itself with the different mission , itll usually have only 1/4 players for each mission on that planet. Obviously there isn’t 4000 players playing on one planet. So I’m just so confused on how that works

​​@@EcksToo You don't gotta sound like an asshole. Literally half of these tips are actually mentioned in the game itself, making the title of your video complete bullshit. Try harder to make content dude, you'll get it!

[@WanTan8888]

I'd buy the weapons, you have to spend them to unlock the next tier, and that number grows, so you can't just save them for the big end stuff. It's going to force you to even buy the emotes unless you go for the big stuff first. And I would definitely buy the ones that give you that blue super currency, that's the currency that costs real money but you can get it like that, you only need 1000 to buy the premium pass. That's the way to do it the free way without spending real money on it. Unless you want to save them till they rotate out the entire line up down the road and just skip these items, but eh for me idk how long term I'm going to play this game and who knows when it will change

[@Fullmetal_christo]

Quit being an asshole, he made the time and effort to do this. If you’re so ‘elite’ at Helldiver; what don’t you do a video yourself about how to buy weapons? So to answer your incredulous question; ‘’yes, this tutorial for me was helpful.’’

[@klok1014]

Ngl. I feel like telling players to avoid buying new stratagems and armor is extremely wrong. Once players get the hang of controls, they should 100% play around with what they can potentially use and learn all of the different weapons they can use. Each one is effective on different mission types. Playing with them all and learning what each one is good at is very very important

[@continuumsanctum869]

[@IainDoherty51]

Entertainingly the 'You should Retreat' advice has actually been found to be a really bad idea since aggro spreads from any activated enemies, so not killing the active ones makes any attempts at stealth useless :D
