HellDivers 2: The Ultimate Starter Guide For Newbies

[@nespith]

Running before you can walk with this guide. We have to win a few games before we have any gear etc. to even think about upgrading. I was looking for a guide on how to actually play the game. So far my experience is entering a world completely by myself and having endless waves of bugs chasing me nonstop until I run out of ammo and die.

[@anorouch]

Tip one: patrols are there to run you out of ammo. Avoid them unless you cant.

[@runevenus9869]

This is what I wanted to know, now I know not to bother with this. Thanks

[@PilotofBT]

Bro I just bought the game today played it for 12 hours it's not gonna hold your hand you gotta learn the mechanics and just stay alive

[@PilotofBT]

This game is Hella fuckin fun straight up

[@Nvmdtv]

@@PilotofBT i feel like u really need to be older than 35 to think this game is fun

[@melissasullivan4798]

I just got the game to play with my 15 yr old nephew and I got to admit it’s very overwhelming but ur video helped a lot!!!! I got the basics definitely keep posting videos for the newbies please

[@whisperzzar3321]

My personal recomendation would have to be the eagle napalm strike. Covers a large area with explosions and the fire, doing double duty. Anything that survives the initial hit catches on fire melting them. Oh and try the Laser cannon, youll have a blast.... literally :)

[@cbough69]

Thanks dude - just bought a ps5 so I can play this with my kid and appreciate being ready enough for him not to call me an old man....

[@pghghhthtyhfyfyhyfhf1280]

Hope you had/have fun dude

[@Nathator97]

this is so wholesome... I hope yall are having a great time!

[@knightwrecker6580]

Thanks for breaking these menu's down. I just bought it last night. I was totally lost during the menus of the ship. I just picked a mission and dropped down to find out how it plays.

[@Z1Gaming]

Glad I could help!

[@receivegreatest6802]

Same first time playing a game like this😅

[@ammonite-muscaria]

Just wanted to say i appreciate this guide. Covers a lot i had no idea about being a total noob to the game and appreciate the suggestions. It will definitely help me get used to the game's mechanics and what not

[@derrekdillard9047]

The top 2 comments I see are complaining that he should have showed missions instead of this, but I hard disagree. All you have to do is play a couple missions to learn how to use the map and get more ammo and use the strategem whatever they are called. I honestly had no idea about getting weapons and this is what me and my friends personally needed. I was so confused on why my armory wasn’t getting any new weapons and glad this guy is showing everyone the basics!!!

[@Shadow__133]

Title could reflect that intention a bit better. I came in looking for basic play tips. But I did found this very useful.

[@PALADIN867]

Armour stats not applying was patched 2-3 days ago as per the patch notes, heavy armour now actually works as expected, light armour reduces your visibility to enemies and provides more stamina and you dodge a bit further.

[@xadmarblackoak6140]

Armor rating was not working up until the last patch. That was the armor bit you had heard. Thanks for the video. Use what you like. Have fun and bring Democracy to the enemy.

[@twisteddivinity7884]

This is a great game. I’m lvl 34. My opinion is the best orbital is the laser and eagle is the cluster or 500kg

[@LavenderSystem69]

You can also use your supercredits to unlock the premium warbonds. Coming from having played Destiny pretty heavily as of late, that's definitely a nice change of pace... there's literally nothing in this game that cannot be unlocked without spending real world dollars outside of the cost of the base game

[@receivegreatest6802]

So you have to pay real money to unlock anything ?

[@miahnhae7639]

This has to be the most easiest guide for starters I've come across so far, thank you!

[@Behaam]

Just started Helldivers 2. Thank you for awesome beginners guide as I was totally lost my first game

[@Crashdog111]

[@SleepySerpent]

Good stuff. Helped me discover upgrades I didn’t even know existed

[@Bigkuntry5911]

I had no idea about guns, great job

[@craigfurrow7977]

I just started playing a few days ago. This taught me alot.

[@ryans3795]

I am late to the party, but my friends were excited for me to play. Started off at the hardest difficulty I could play at on level 1 with them.

[@greenking1232]

I watched this video purely just to know what helldivers is about. Aswell to make sure my game doesn't copy them, but now i know my game is 100% different from theirs. Perfect!

[@macdaddymelon]

This video was exactly what I needed, thank you!

[@Prayforthesufferingchildren]

Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you

[@le5848]

Thanks for the in-depth starter info. Super helpful.

[@alessandroseverino8222]

i feel for both medals and basic credit the tip of "save em" is a bit overrated. Like for the guardian dog. You can buy the gun one just fine, you'll easly get the base credit for the laser one in no time. Same after a while you'll not have much to toss yellow credit on

[@whisperzzar3321]

I think what he means is that the gun drone is constantly reloading by reattaching to your backpack, reducing the dps and usefullness of it. The laser drone spends WAY more time in the air doing the good work.

[@alessandroseverino8222]

@@whisperzzar3321 Ofc the laser one as an upgrade of the normal, still don't disqualify my comment. Before you get the laser one you can still buy the normal one and see if you like it nor spending the credits will cut you off from purocase the one with the laser nor will take that long to have the founds. I could understand if was paid in samples, those take a bunch more so there a bit of "selection" is more natural. Credits? Nha, play the game, you get em pretty easly

[@Cherry0902]

Thank you for the guide really helped me 😊

[@Quicksymphony]

Some idiot on level 10 difficulty thought this guide still worked. 😂 Not to say it isn't resourceful when starting and I think you did a great job here. I had to watch my entire team die multiple times and use all of the revives. I went around the map and brought back the egg and all samples. He kicked me right at extraction and said,"don't sell next time" and linked this video. I brought all resources to extraction and didn't die. 😅 Plus we were able to extract with everyone alive except 1 person

[@leosantana311]

Thanks for the help!!

[@gurthbroox]

It’s like if Destiny, Gears and Battlefield had a love child.

[@MastaMoMo83]

[@Stephen_000]

Thank you for this video. I will note that I did need to play it at 0.75 speed.

[@Asphyxious666]

[@1mpact804]

rly good and funny explained, ty! greetings from ger 🤟😁

[@SubFlow22]

It's discouraging to me that 1/2 of this guide is bullshit itemization, loadouts and upgrades. I don't want to be a loadout engineer, I wanna frag some bugs.

[@travistdwp]

Good stuff 👍

[@MDNHL]

I am still confused but thanks :) !

[@tyronelagore1479]

The absolute worst "starter guide" imaginable. You just say "You're gonna get this as you play the game", so then this isn't a beginners guide, it's a guide to people who understand how the game works already.

[@johannesdolch]

"Who better to learn from than another beginner" ... solid logic ... bye

[@swanai]

im going to buy it this week and im worried that i wont like it. im a cod player btw. i also watched a couple of videos still don’t know how to feel. i really wna try it out and like it.

At least its not another Battle Royal game, they are getting old, real old, but yeah I wont play this just doesnt do enough for me.

[@OverlandingArmyVeteran]

@Applejuice778 Your comment is amazing how long did it take you to think of that... You truly are in need of help.. people wonder what's wrong with the gaming community now days.... Look in the mirror big guy.

Next time talk Les fast pls. There is no hurry 😮

[@quinn799]

You can adjust the speed to slow it down where you want it

[@PilotofBT]

I love how all these noobs in you're comments dont understand you're video

[@khbikhib]

This video isn't still valid , as it used to be 5 months ago . The armors has stats and things aren't the same , so....

[@바보Queen]

stream deck or whatever sounds like a cheat... the whole point is the tension of inputting in the codes during battle aint it?

[@lasersGoPewPew123]

It seems like there's some good and helpful content here but unfortunately I can't hear you too well. Also you're speaking way too fast.

Can you play 2 without playing or knowing anything about 1

Yes, but not much fun

[@doc7434]

I wanted to watch this but I can barely understand you. That weird youtube narration thing is just bad.

[@jakemains1123]

Do not be encouraging people to use the gatling sentry. It is a team killing machine, as if new players aren’t enough of one themselves already.

[@Z1Gaming]

maybe just don't stand in front of it? I learned that pretty quick

[@jakemains1123]

@@Z1Gaming There is no “in front” of it. Don’t run into it’s bullet stream is obvious but when you’re fighting enemies and it gets placed behind you or in a really bad spot regardless, it’s going to spin around and immediately kill you unless you happen to be looking back whilst fighting which is virtually impossible. I would 110% rather someone who is new to the game not do something stupid that’ll end up killing people.

[@danielcs86]

@@Z1Gaming Don't listen to the haters, Z! The gatling turret is one of my groups favorite things to use. Nothing says freedom like multiple gatling turrets at once mowing down Democracy haters. Keep up the great content!

Crouch is a thing. Just saying. Gotta watch yourself and surrounding.

[@alessandroseverino8222]

​@@jakemains1123 well... you ahould be aware of where you place it... So where are the enemy. Shooted myself and others with it just once cause a hive spawned behind. Is like say no eagle cause people toss it too close
