How to Improve at Helldivers 2 in under 5 Minutes

change your strategy keybinds to your arrow keys in order to stay on the Move while calling them in constantly moving is your number one defense to literally everything in this game even yourself so move those Tekken combos on over to anything but your movement key binds speaking of Defense using High ground and breaking line of sight if you cannot move these are your next best options for both Bots and bugs being on a slight incline will drastically improve your overall survivability as well the AI is not the smartest same idea with breaking line of sight have a massive biot Titan constantly dropping your hell diers life expectancy to Warhammer 40K levels run away and break line of sight moving even 30 or 40 m away from things should be enough provided there are at least a few pieces of cover between you and the target such as bushes or rocks and oh yeah rocks use them uh all the time they can't blow up I can almost guarantee that if you're struggling to survive doing those three things High Ground line of sight and rocks will Skyrock it your chances of living in terms of difficulty specific tips well all it really comes down to is what Loadout you choose to bring with you and your loadouts are determined by your overall level put two and two together and then this means that the difficulty that you play on should be dictated by your overall level given the transitive property or something like that I don't know I ain't no mathematician here's what I recommend if you're under level 10 stick to difficulty 5 maximum find whatever Sweet Spot feels the best for your group's play style and stick to it until you all level up a bit more once you reach level 10 or above playing on difficulty 6 or 7 is ideal especially for farming purposes but you can go all the way up to 9 technically with the equipment and strategies available to you at this point so if you and your boys are really feeling a challenge bump that difficulty on up to nine and good luck but realis Bally I would recommend staying away from difficulties 8 and 9 until you reach level 20 and get the good stuff unfortunately your own skill will only take you so far in Hell divers 2 at least in the current state once you start seeing Chargers biot Titans tanks and hulks out the wazu there is quite literally nothing you can do if you're not properly equipped hopefully this Dynamic shifts a bit in the upcoming balance updates such as giving us more options to deal with armor targets as I really cannot overstate the impact that upping the difficulty has on these tankier threats spawning and if you didn't know raising the difficulty does does not increase enemy health or damage it simply raises the amount of enemies and the chance of harder ones spawning that's it higher difficulty equals more enemies and the enemies that show up are harder also fun fact your group size does not have a One toone impact on enemy spawns playing in a fourman party does not yield four times more enemies than playing solo anyway what I'm trying to say is if you choose difficulty six and above then you better be ready which thankfully being ready basically equates to uh did you bring enough armor piercing so here you go Expendable anti tank autoc Cannon rail gun orbital Precision orbital laser orbital rail Cannon Eagle 110 Eagle 500 kilo mortar Sentry and autoc Cannon Sentry now these are not your only options to deal with the big boys but they are by far your best ones however the three support weapons rail gun autoc Cannon and Expendable anti-tank are your bread and butter using one of these three weapons just aim for the enemy's weak spot and press your fire button pretty much is that simple the vast majority of enemy weak spots are simply their heads who would have thought but these guys have it on their backs and this guy has another one if you pop his legs off as for the other other things in your load out well you pretty much have the illusion of choice here sure you can use whatever you want but if you're not rocking the breaker shotgun you're basically trolling in the current state of the game before the first balance patch has even happened yet there is literally one reason to not use the breaker shty uh you haven't unlocked it yet and until you unlock it I recommend the default AR or the diligence DMR your secondary weapon does not really matter but the machine pistol performs noticeably better than the others same deal with the grenade impact grenade is very good but you really can't go wrong with any choice for your armor well uh it's bugged armor rating literally does nothing in the current state of the game so simply take whatever set you think looks cool but if you want a minmax take something with a useful modifier such as reduced enemy detection radius or 50% chance to survive lethal damage but if you're in doubt just choose Scout armor for the movement speed finally and the last thing I'll leave you with is remember that you do not have to fight each and every encounter that you find if you're struggling in Hell divers 2 it is almost certainly because you're getting swarmed too often getting swarmed at some point is a guarantee but it is up to you to control how often that happens and and the best way to do that is to ignore stuff but Mr streamer how am I going to get all the shiny Loot and upgrade my ship with simp by resetting and playing another run stop scer ring every last nook and cranny of the map just to find six more common samples get the heck out of there and reset also you guys uh you know you don't have to actually stay on the computer screens right you can just press your interact key and leave the screen once you input the command I'll do my best to answer each and every one of your
