The Ultimate Helldivers 2 Beginner's Guide

[@ErmzPlays]

Quick corrections/additions: 5:52 - The Super Rare Samples spawn in clusters of 3 on Difficulty 7. In Difficulty 8 they spawn in clusters of 5, and on Difficulty 9 they spawn in clusters of 6. 6:27 - You can also unlock the Premium Warbond trees using Super Credits, which can be farmed in-game. 7:36 - Some helmets currently have hidden modifiers. It's possible that a future update will introduce visible stat changes to helmets (and possibly capes?).

[@theoriginaldonutdude4950]

I hope they add more modifiers to capes and helmets that would help make the choices more impactful

this no true but thx four youre tree. u can only pay with rupees my amazing. pls focus four study the book befoure you play the game like little mans.

[@darksaiyan2006]

@@RanjakarPatel It is true - you can get 750 super credits from the regular battle pass and can find more randomly in missions, especially from the buried containers and vaults you need 2 people to open. You can also get them from the other areas of interest where there's glowing drop pod thingies.

[@Azrael-XIII]

I don’t understand people complaining about the microtransactions in this game or calling them “slimy”. Games nowadays are gonna have microtransactions, it’s just part of the business, specifically when it comes to live service games where they need to keep paying developers to work on content for the game after it’s released (same reason mmos have had subscriptions for literally 20+ years). HD2 has some of the most “gamer friendly” microtransaction systems I’ve seen in a while, the items in the shop are fairly cheap and YOU DON’T EVEN HAVE TO BUY THE CURRENCY, you can get it just from playing missions.

[@8bitphilosopher286]

Agreed, and microtransactions are why this game is able to be as cheap as it is. If they removed all microtransactions, they would have to charge more up-front, and might not be able to provide as much live support as they are. There are plenty of games with predatory microtransaction systems, but Helldivers is definitely not one of them.

[@slambobambo4152]

I mean but how viable is it to actually get war bonds by playing the game? I just started and you only get like 20 every like hour or so of playing depending if you even could’ve gotten them in the map

[@keigod2105]

@@slambobambo4152its pretty fair tbh, there is no warbond that a player really needs, there are tons of fun builds you can do with the basic warbond. Even if you buy Super Creds you would still need to grind the medals for it. While grinding for hours you get about 100-200 SCs for it + the SCs that can be bought within the warbond using medals. So its not really 1000 SC per warbond, its about 800. Tldr: You get SCs pretty quickly when playing. Just play, buy the SCs available using medals, youll have a new warbond every week depending how much you play.

Just an FYI, the premium battle pass can be purchased by people who dont have the Super Citizen DLC. You dont even need to spend money - you can grind out Super Credits by playing the game and purchase the premium pass that way.

[@KushtasticKiller]

Yes. But you get 10 per super credit location at yellow location points. So you'll still need to grind it and get somewhat lucky. I got 30 in one mission

[@Exania88]

decent tips but god u need to word things better sometimes, calling the game "slimy" is an outright lie. u can unlock EVERYTHING in the game by playing, there is no "slimy". that fireshotgun no ty it is bad compared to the original braiker shotgun, sure it helps to put them on fire but not that much. ofc this is my opinion I just like to oneshot instead of 2-3 shot+fire to kill.

[@Darth0308]

I thought the same thing about the flame breaker. That thing is hot garbage. I would use the punisher before I used the incendiary breaker.

[@Luke973T]

[@Exania88]

@@spagooter1807 boy go home. I understand were u come from and to a degree I do agree with u but helldivers and arrow is doing better then most other real slimy games and studios. I like it, I enjoy it and I will support it becouse they are moveing in a derection that is more akin to the old days then most other games and studios. so little one just no, go home sleep it off and come back so we can properly talk. if u come back let me know what exactly u dont agree with. if its the monetization then I will say right away it has the best way to do it in a live service game I have seen in many many years. sense u only need to pay for the base game and everything else u can unlock without paying anything and there no timelimit on the "battlepass" so u wont miss anything.

[@MichaelBurkhalter]

Also, I’ve only been playing for a few days and am unlocking stuff fast

[@flanjoh]

i think labeling one aspect of a game as “slimy” among a slew of praise in the rest of the video is completely valid. we, as consumers, have been screwed left and right by these massive corps that refuse to pump out a product that doesn’t protect their precious profit margins. often times this was due to the overwhelming focus on this EXACT aspect of the game; micro-transactions. it is absolutely reasonable to call micro-transactions slimy, especially given the current gaming climate. regardless of if the currency is earn-able or not. however, idolatry (what you’re doing), is exactly what got us here in the first place. if you want to continue to have good products like this game seems to be (cant say for sure until the live service promises are met) then you probably shouldnt put this company on a pedestal and have them thinking they can get away with following a rigid formula that serves solely to pump out revenue for the next decade. (Activision-Blizzard, Ubisoft, 2K, EA, GTA V, Bethesda, must I go on?)

[@patrickmcconnon93]

To say that this game is slimy, is just outright wrong. The fact that you can get it quicker by paying money, but you can also get it for free by grinding is what the gaming industry needs.

Music from Total Annihilation A+++

man i was wondering why it sounded so familiar lol

[@Shumiebear]

Total Annihilation music in the background earned the thumbs up for me

[@flaminghammy]

Super rare samples drop 6 per map around the silver rock on helldiver, not 3. Amount of samples is determined mission difficulty which explains why you consistently got the same amount:) Also, the drip armor on the thumbnail is BIS especially considering that armor is bugged right now and everything has the same armor value. 50% chance not to die is great. Light armor is also really good at kiting, but you won't be able to unlock it until farther down the free battle pass tree or finding some in the super credits store!

[@ImmaGoSmokeRQ]

Light armor is on the first section of the bp?

[@Migiso]

Dude that total annihilation spundtrack though!! Fuck yeah man!!

[@sawyerz123]

I’d hardly call it slimy tbh - microtransactions for the most part have always been a part of live service games, it’s nothing new. They at least did it well in this game allowing you to earn them in the world. Can get up to 100 in each location

[@InfiniteGamerXI]

None of my friends nor family play Helldivers 2 so I’m always playing solo or with randoms These tips are super helpful!

[@Jeffcanplay]

That's the point of the basic training. Its not meant to gove you anything other than a basic grasp of the controls and what to shoot. It's pretty much conscription training, but with more back slapping and a cool cape. It in zero way prepares you for the war. That you learn on the Battlefield and hopefully, with battle buddies.
