Reporting to my nearest democracy officer.
Just got done with a game with two other random players. No mics, no chat, first time facing those big acid bugs, and got everything done and extracted with barely any time left. We didnt die almost at all, but that was the fight of our lives so far. With all that said, I have not enjoyed a video game this much in years. I hardly played anything the last few years and was worried I just didnt like games that much anymore as I got older and life got tougher. I am so happy with this game. Every single thing about it makes me feel like a 14 year old teenager playing with my friends, and I honestly did not think id ever feel that again. I am so happy that this game is doing so good that its literally suffering from success. I could not tell you the last time a game had me on the edge of my seat sweating to try and survive and get off the planet. Lets give those robots hell Super Earth!
Absolutely man isn’t it awesome, I’m at work (still doing work) thinking about the getting home to game
So real and same
@@ryantransou6691Fr bro 😂
The part about getting older.. i thought the same, i was so afraid of being out of touch with one of my fav activity. This game lighted the flame
This speaks so much to me. Been feeling the same way, always excited to get on the next playing session with this game. For democracy!
I really like how the side quests aren't always pointless, like being able to use the SEAF to arty or the radar tower to find POI, the more I find out the more I enjoy this game.
On the bot missions there’s sometimes a SAM turret you can activate that will shoot down dropships. Unfortunately it has a pretty small range from what I’ve seen, but it’s still neat!
only on day 2 of play but just found my 1st SEAF, *psa high yield is indeed high* 😂
look out for the MINI NUKE too, its a yellow shell, that does some crazy damage
On higher difficultys, on Bot missions there are also jammers as optionals, that block communications with ship, so you can not use stratagemes at all in their area, unless you do the side missions. Can get nasty ignoring this.
And the more you realize every world is the same copy pasted trash just in a different color. This game is not good
I found out if you’re the last person alive with no reinforcements, you can accomplish the mission without extracting. I was being chased everywhere by armored bugs and a charger, I kited them around then got to the console to upload data link. Got all the buttons in before the charger killed me at the console. The game thanks you for your sacrifice lol
You only have to finish the main objectives. Extraction is optional when you served your duty. (You miss out on rewards though.)
Rouge one ahh death
The game even acknoledges your sacrifice, the result says "glorious sacrifice"
You lose some reward though @@z28yeti
You did your duty for democracy, Helldiver. Leave the rest to us.
Correction: Charger butt is not a weakspot it is just not armoured. Its weakspot is under the front leg armour. If you manage to get rid of the armor you do weakspot damage there.
If you have a railgun blast 2 shots into either side to reveal orange flesh then finish it off with any other gun
All the legs on a charger are the weakspots. The Auto-cannon can 3-4 shot a Charger. You hit them in the inside of the back leg. Its a bit wonky on the hitbox though.
Also for actual weakspots, you deal an extra 10% more damage. However, explosive weapons deal 100% extra damage to weakspots. So more reason to use the AR-23E or the JAR-4 Dominator.
He stated that later on in the video..
@@Kybx He did not correct that the butt is not a weakspot.
@@Zazu1337I bet you're fun at parties.
Down on D-pad gives yourself supplies with the supply pack on controller.
Thank you!!!
Thats so good to know
@@eathealthymeditateeveryday4949 I think the very first time I used supply pack a tip popped up and told me what to do. I almost always miss those tips so I just got lucky lol.
5 on PC
That’s a cool tip. I’m not being facetious at all, but I still just can’t see the supply pack giving anybody more value than the rover or shield. Might be fun to try that out on a solo on challenging or something. 🤷🏻♂️
Something my group did for chargers before we had railguns: The Expendable Anti-Tank rockets have a 70sec cooldown to start with, fastest in the game for supplies. When you call it in, hit the charger with the beacon, and it'll usually stick *and* track the thing, unlike orbitals/eagles. It'll kill the charger quite a lot of the time, and if not, hey, now you have rockets to finish it off.
Try sticking the beacon at the head. It might kill it properly that way instead of just breaking its armour.
EATs are honestly a noobs best friend. That 70 second cooldown is potent too, you can spam the things everywhere. I leave them on routes I think I might be retreating through later, I drop some near extraction if normal gameplay gets me close enough for a pit stop (my record is saving up 5 pods/10 launchers at extraction before we called it in), I've almost always got it in reserve if I need it immediately too. It might be single use but goddamn does it do work.
EAT-17s are MVP, for sure. I always bring Orbital EMS Strike along, too. You can guarantee the drop lands on them, or even just calling down Resupply on them if needs be, lol. Orbital EMS Strike is such a great "Oh shit!" stratagem.
Yeah and they will 1 shot a charger if you hit them in the head
Another fun fact. You can still WIN the mission after 0 hour (but before the evac leaves) if you complete the objective. Pulled a really epic winning sacrifice lettinv my buddies evac while i heroically finished firing off the ICBM.
Super Earth thanks you for your sacrifice, Helldiver
You can extract as a traitor ✅
Dude the part about rebinding stratagems to arrows is a game changer for me. I was skeptical about moving my hand from the mouse but it's actually helpful
what? you stopped using WASD for strategems? is that so big difference?
@@PulkaSkurken If you take stratagems off WASD, it allows you to keep running while you're keying in your stratagem. The default binding stops you in your tracks until you finish keying in the sequence. Means if you're being chased, you still have the ability to call in reinforcements or some other well timed stratagem.
When the charger runs at you, go around bug holes, the charger will destroy them for you.
My pro tip for anyone running a supply pack as myelin points out when you click on a resupply it fills your reserves as well as one slot on the supply pack. So what you can do is drop a resupply click on one of the supply items. Then drop the supply pack for a teammate to grab and then click on the resupply. They will then fill their reserves and fill another slot of the resupply. Effectively turning one ressupply into 2, meaning more grenades and ammo that you can be much more liberal with. Helping to clear out hordes better before they can call in back up.
do you know how to drop the backpacks on ps5
@@afanas4635 I do not. I'm on PC
@@gibster9624 all man
@afanas4635 hold down on the d-pad to pull up the drop menu
@@tinyj96 thanks
I think a very underrated tip is that extraction is not part of the win condition. I get into so many games where I'm trying to get samples and fail because once my team have completed the main objective they are rushing to extract with no or few samples. Once you get the main objectives done, unless you're in a hurry to get off, there's no reason to extract unless you have samples - extraction is pretty much purely for samples, secondarily for the extraction bonus - which is going to be small regardless if you try to extract when not all your teammates are there.
Mh
I'll be joining the fight for super earth sometime next month. Can't wait! Thanks myelin.
It's such an awesome experience. I'm excited for you 😊
Smart, the servers may even have room for you then.😅
you are needed Sir ! :D
U gon love it if u wanna play wit sum1 im down
its so worth it. Absolute blast to play. Literally the only single bad thing about it so far is that there are literally too many people playing lol
Note about the super samples: All the super samples for the map will be at that special rock. They do not spawn anywhere else. HOWEVER, there's a bug that if you try to quickly pick up the sample, the sample will be bugged and it wont be picked up. You can actually see this happen in the video when the first sample isn't picked up at 6:31. Stop moving and let the "pick up" animation complete before moving on.
Also if you activate the radar station, the super samples appear as a POI.
There's so many hidden details in this game that I just love exploring so far.
the "if you liked this video...if not" bit at the end of the video was so funny 😂
First youtuber I've ever heard say drop me a DISlike lmao. Automatic like from me 🤣
The changing to arrows keys on keyboard for strats was one of the first things i did in my initial couple hours playing. Really handy to be able to keep running while doing it.
Best video I’ve seen with helldivers 2 tips man, and props for how much time and effort you clearly dedicated to having relevant clips!!
For Bots, shoot at the berserkers (twin chainsaw hands) glowing red midsection, closer to the crotch. This is a weakspot and will kill them faster then if you just spray into them. Same for all forms of devastator, you can shoot off arm weapons by aiming for joints, but headshots with something like the anti-material rifle instantly kill them. You can even do this against hulks if you get a lucky shot at the visor.
Amazing video. Assigning stratagems to arrow keys, unlocking the recoilless, the rail gun and the shield backpack are my main takeaways. Thanks so much!
First one of these I’ve watched and actually learned something. Especially the up/down for strategems
SES Hammer of Justice reporting. I think the number 1 tip for any new recruit is to focus on survival. This game is pretty damn easy to die and assuming someone called reinforcements as soon as you hit the deck, you'll still need at least a minute to get back to the fight, and I'm not even considering that you've got your support weapon and backpack back to do some real contribution.
If you focus on survival, however, you might be out of ammo, running like crazy, trying to do something but at least you're drawing attention and splitting the threat, even if you just run around like a headless chicken just surviving, that charger you're pulling can actually be killed by your teammates as it is not charging them and it has it's soft plump butt fully exposed for a shit ton of lead.
Make survival your number 1 mission, everything else you'll figure out eventually.
SES Hammer of Justice out.
did you know that if you throw an orbital at your teammate they can then run over to the enemy and kill them with the strike. its super effective!
oh also 9:21 north west (more west then north) on the minimap. two small circles like that mean its a seaf/side objective. you can pin it and instead of have a "pin" marker it will be a "target" marker, showing a square like marker
Why not just throw it at the enemy?
It may seem that way but the drop doesn't actually follow the beam it only drops on where it initially lands. Source: I have stuck chargers over 10 times and the orbital still only lands where it first hit even though they ran pretty far away
@@ThaoLand stop asking questions
Lmao my life for liberty!!!
Can confirm that you can finish the mission once marked as a traitor but it is very hard unless you already have the dropship there to pick you up.
This is the best tips video out there for this Game. Wow, great content! Thanks for posting it.
Duuuuude a ton of these were helpful as hell. Thanks! Gonna have to check your channel for more guides hopefully. 🤞
You can dive into a bug hole to plug it, for Democracy!
Did this yesterday just as joke since i ran out of nades and didn't want to waste a resupply. Suprising, yet effective 🗿
Can you dive while cooking a grenade? Gonna try diving into the last hole on a nest with a made tonight.
@@sethfuller5145let me know how it goes. I might just try it too 😅
Another movement tip; Don’t heal right away. Even if it’s just a scratch, as you can sprint fully, heal right before loss of stamina- it slows you for a half second, but it fully fills your stamina bar and gives you two ish seconds of free stamina before it starts going down again. Allowing you to double sprint in bad situations or if trying to beeline to evac or other locations.
As for the SEAF arty, side stepping is slightly faster then dropping the shell in front of you as it slows you down. But side stepping the shell drops to the side and due to the game having physics you aren’t slowed everytime you run into the shell when dropping it.
Doesn’t matter if you die at the end of a mission or in a mission, your character is a clone with hundreds of copies 😊
That’s why you always come out of the cryo freezer.
Excellent video for an excellent game
I learned a lot of the don’ts through experience and I’ll for sure never forget them but I’m glad someone out here warning others and teaching them how things work
Great content brother, very professional! Subscribed. Can’t wait to see more of your work, it’s refreshing.
Thanks! Just be aware... there will be plenty of unprofessional content here as well. Haha
@@MoreMyelinGamesHaha, that’s fine too. I just meant the production method is great. Didn’t realize till watch a separate video of yours that you have a massive channel for destiny haha. I was like how the hell does he have less than 1000 subs, made sense after reading that.
JT here, Blasting this out to my pals! HUGE W for this comprehensive guide!
😊 This is the BEST List of Tips &
🙏 Tricks I have watched by FAR! Thank You for this and the all the work that went into making it
Chargers weak spot isn't their backside, it's their front legs. Yes the back isn't armored but that just does normal damage. If you shoot the armor off it's front legs you will see their actual weak spots. It does increased damage to them
Hey man!!! I quit destiny a while back so I haven’t seen much of your content… happy to be back!
Dude so happy your are playing this game!! I am one of your Destiney 2 fans but I have now enlisted as a HELLDIVER!!!! For FREEEDOOOMMMM!!!!!
stratagems on controller are not an issue for me, i just keep my left hand on the stick to run and use my right hand on the d pad
Best guide I’ve watched the last few days. Just started Monday haha
And I thought I knew a lot about the game but this Video took my by surprise, def. a lot of stuff I didn't know about, especially realoading mid air with the jump pack... thats just insane haha😂
One I figured out today is that if you haven't found the radar station, you can still hunt for POIs fairly effectively because they'll show up on your compass as question marks when you're within about 80 metres or so, line of sight or not! Very useful as it's only the salute pods that emit a yellow indicator beam.
Noticed the back black in my last raid yesterday. I give mega props to the developers for adding that especially for the 1 little tick of damage it does to you.
Little fun thing, for how much it throws a person back, I wonder if the back blast works o the bugs and will drive them back for a second after you send the rocket at the titan.
Cool video! I was always using the auto canon, but I'll try the railgun + shield now :)
Nice there were some new things in this I hadn’t learned! Thanks!
With the charger, the best way to fight one, is to actually. Move towards it head-on (sprinting preferred), and dive diagonally behind it. The charger ends up continuing on its charge paths and you have some time to shoot it in the back.
Finally a tips video that isn't 90% tutorial info and basic common knowledge.
Agreed. A lot of crap videos or clip stealing channels. This seemed like a legit effort and quality video.
1:32 and 1:38
This tip saved alot of time and lives, thanks!
One important tip, the first ship upgrade for sentries also affects the resupply cooldown. Probably everybody should get this as early as possible, because you always need resupplies as often as possible, even if you don't use sentries at all.
For the railgun, the unsafe mode does more damage. Although for bile titans and such it's actually more effective if shooting normally in safe mode, as it's much quicker. Unsafe mode is more of an ammo conservation thing, if you're really low on ammo and need to make the most out of it. On a related note, you can oneshot bile titans if they open their mouth for that acid-spew attack if you hit them with a railgun in unsafe mode into their mouth.
Some armor passives can be pretty useful. One for the helmet which grants 2 more grenades. And the other from the scout armor, where you can ping around the map to spot enemies and points of interest - just spam-ping until you find some point of interest, then ping it.
Another fun fact, for the S.E.A.F. artillery, the order in which you load the rounds is the order in which they are shot later. So try to remember where the nuke is in the order to make the most of it.
I’ve personally never ran into a situation that it made sense to switch the RG from unsafe to safe, whether it be for ammo conserving purposes or fire rate. I could be wrong though, open to being proved wrong.
What helmet gives a passive effect?
Two tips from my 12 hours:
1. The SEAF Artillery launches the rounds in the order you load them.
2. Opening your map and moving your cursor around can reveal Minor Points of Interest. For some reason (on PC at least), even if you haven't discovered it, the game will put a label next to your cursor when you hover over a minor POI, which you can then drop a pin on and move to.
11:09 💥🦟 That was a sick shot (both the camera and the weapon)
Autocannon is probably the best gun/tool in the game. So versatile and tons of ammo to last until your next stratagem recharge.
The stratagem tip is a live saver
Tnx for this tip m8
"Helldivers" Hi thanks for the video, very informative for a new player. I learnt alot.
With controller you get analog to move around and D-pad to code in strats. So that first tip really helps put you be at least in same league as controller.
1min already learned something lol thanks man
I didn’t know about pushing 5 to resupply yourself. Thanks for that.
The best tips video I've seen yet.
This video should be part of standard Helldiver training. Level 23 and had no idea half of these awesome features exist. The Reload menu is something I have to try right away, and I'll never sprint while fighting a charger ever again, until he's right on top of me. Cheers!
Rocket turrets also have back blast. Finding that out was fun.
i did learn a lot from this thank you for the video
I’m so glad I am not the only one who does the halo CTF flag capture/ drop technique on the SEAF artillery.
Loving the Helldivers content bro
Appreciate u man just started and this helped out a ton
In case anyone is struggling to get into the game I found a trick out with in my first few seconds of owning the game, join in on a friends game and you are instantly put into your own ship and can play
Now joining is much better And faster because devs added kick after beeing afk for 15 min
The tip for dropping stratagems on those buildings, i will use! Sometimes we are out of nades or the right gun for it.
Tip: on the scrambler modifier missions you can get - before throwing your stratagem, check the color before releasing. If you are trying to throw a backpack, it will be blue and not red. This could save you from throwing your gear into an enemy encampment or throwing a bomb on you and your team instead of a weapon.
Really great list man!
This video is so good. Thank you!
The armor ratings have been fixed for like a week or two. Great video, by the way!
You in fact do Fail the mission if the timer runs out if you haven't completed it yet. If completed before the timer runs out, you do NOT lose the mission. But you MUST complete the main objective(s) before the timer runs out
Hmm interesting. I must have always completed the main first
love the sting from the hobbit in the background
For the robot flares, the bot that launches them is specifically the dude with only one laser sword. So shoot them first to avoid a bunch of trouble.
The impact grenades can basically one tap the weakpoint automatons (including the tanks) with a direct hit on the grills since they go off on contact. (they are tricky to use on the factories though, so you may want to make sure you have a good Eagle/Orbital for clearing those if you bring them)
All enemies also have friendly fire. Including Bile Titans who are actually very good at wiping out hordes of their own kind if you get a feel for the rangle and are in light armor you can basically circle strafe them to have them dissolve all their spewers/chargers/etc.
EMS or Smoke you can drop on yourself while running risk free (the EMS you just have to dive if the edge catches you) and neither damage you. Both will stop the pursuing enemies (EMS will just stun them and let you escape vision, smoke they will just search the smoke area til it clears provided you don't make noise.
The slide option is great for heavy machine guns. Crouching helps with the recoil while shooting those heavies
1:38 is the biggest thing I recommend for anyone picking up the game on PC. My team is constantly talking about how quickly I call Stratagems in and how I call them in while moving. You feel like an amazing action hero punching in codes while dodging Chargers.
for buddy reloads with support weapons, if you both have the ammo backpack for the gun you get x2 ammunition. Very useful for prolonged contacts.
You can also throw stratagems quite a bit further with the jetpack. Just fly up and slightly into the direction of your target and then throw whilst accelerating up/towards it.
Also, for the diamonds to turn into markers on your minimap, you have to loot literally everything there. All samples, medals, super credits, etc..., but also all ammo, stims and nades, which I wish it'd ignore, as you find way more supplies than you need when playing solo.
You can use the pelican to secure xtract by finishing main quest, call the pelican, and when it says inbound leave the extraction zone and the pelican will hover shooting anything at the extraction zone while you do side objectives
For the stratagem, it is worth binding them to arrow keys, that way you can move while calling stuff in
If you didn't know based off the jetpack strategem tip seems you didn't, You can run and use strategems by setting your command for strategems to press instead of hold then rebinding the keys for them to arrow keys instead of your movement keys. This allows you sprint and put in commands playing PC. Took me 1 game and a half to get used to, Goodluck out there
I love this game SO MUCH
Finishing the strategem in the jump is insane.
This is an incredible video, thank you. Just an fyi if no one mentioned it but railgun has been nerfed and both chargers and bile titan armor deflect its shots. Super upsetting considering the amount of heavy armors that drop in at higher difficulties.
On controller we use the liberty grip to use stratagems while running. Using the right hand‘s thumb to push up the left stick, you enter the code on the d-pad with your left hand. As of now, if you bind the stratagem inputs to the X, circle, square, and triangle, you end up reloading, dodging or meleeing or swapping weapons while you enter the stratagem code. Hoping for a fix soon.
Holy fuck.. you reminded me so much of Johnny Noveske--God bless his soul.
Thanks for the tips. Long live helldivers
Thanks man I'm a newbie! Great advice!!
Day/Night cycle also continues while you are on your ship. You can also see the time where ever you place your cursor on the Galactic Map.
It happened to me twice in one day. Eradication mission, one of my friends loves his 380mm and I got blasted and flew out of the combat zone, somehow survived impact in basic armor and ran back. Survived the bombardment and extracted
Yeah those radio towers.... Autocannons handle that too. Just thought I should mention that. A good answer for a lot of situations. I tend to be the squad's Auto Cannon myself. Something and others use to do back in our Chapter years other than a Heavy Bolter sometimes.
Amazing tips, thank you.
Please do a video comparing all the backpacks… I know you love the energy shield generator pack far and above the rest… I want to know what’s the best after… thank you
I’ve got a couple more tips to add!
1. Don’t sleep on the autocanon sentry, it fires a three round autocannon burst that does crazy damage and can even blow the armor right off of chargers. It also does a great job of clearing hordes of small things with the splash damage. However, it turns pretty slow and if it’s too close range it’ll get overrun very easily.
2. Creativity is absolutely your friend! Stratagems can be used in a lot of unconventional ways, from using orbital strikes to blow up walls to calling in a support weapon or supply on top of enemies or bot foundries. The railgun, while it will kill you, will also do a lot of damage when it explodes. I’ve used this strat to take out tanks when I was otherwise too low on ammo (climb on top, go to the weak point, and just hold the trigger for democracy!) I love finding new uses for stuff like that, it adds a lot to the fun.
3. Not every enemy has an obvious weak point. The chargers have the unarmored bit on their rear, but that isn’t actually a weak point. Their weak points are their front legs once you get the armor off. If you’re able to do that, they will go down way faster than you might think. Bile spewers’ weak point is their head btw, which seems weird considering their big green bodies, but it’s true!
4. Explosive weapons and ordinance do full weak point damage whereas regular weapons do not. Normal guns will still do more damage to weak spots than to other spots, but it’s only like a 40% increase if I remember correctly. Any explosive weapons (GL, rockets, railgun, or even explosive ammo weapons) will do %100 bonus damage to weak points.
5. This one is kind of useless but very funny: you can actually drop your hellpod into bug nests. This will instantly kill you, but it will destroy the nest and it’s pretty funny!
6. If you’re having trouble getting into the game (so almost everyone) you can sometimes get around this by joining directly into a friend’s lobby. I play on ps5 so I don’t know if these are options for PC, but if you scroll over the app and scroll down, you can also choose an option to hop directly into quick play, which has often worked for me!
7. Keep spreading democracy! If you don’t, I will find you.
For #6, if non of my friends are online, I'll comb the steam forums to find a person playing and join them, then leave back to my ship lol
4) is not 100% correct.
Non explosive do 10% dmg to SQUISHY BITS of bugs (the butt of chargers and bile spewers) while explosive does 100% dmg to SQUISHY BITS.
Squishy bits are NOT weakpoints.
Weakpoint are always damage multipliers (not sure how much though). Which is why sometimes a single railgun or a single EAT rocket can one shot a bile titan when shot at during the puking animation.
Great stuff Driver!!!! ...................HELLLLLL DRIIIIIVER!!!!!
Thanks for all the awesome tips! Just a couple of things to add:
Regarding equipment stratagems - those seem to disappear after some time (I dropped them for myself before a long fight for resupply and after a few minutes, they just closed down and were not obtainable anymore).
Plus shield backpack - I saw a few guys get their support stratagem stuck on the shield - does that happen every time?
For the chargers if you take of the armor from the front legs, and expose them to see an orange exposed area it kills them pretty fast especially with a rail gun also for the missle side missions is you pair the same colors togther they fire together.
Nice video and still new things to Discover
11:04
This happened to me similarly. I used a recoiless rifle. (The tube fed rocket launcher. Not the disposable one.) And when it was getting ready to spit, I one shot it, and its head exploded.
A little nice thing that I found out recently is with the Recoilless rifle, You can one shot chargers and bile titans if you shoot them right into the head. It has to be a direct hit. I'd recommend aiming for the hit on a charger when its turning around to charge back at you. For titans? Good luck
You can melee the broken drop-pods to open them as well as shooting them
You can kill the Unauthorized Broadcast side-objective from a long distance with the Auto-cannon by shooting the antenna, all you need is line of site! I don't know if you can do the same with other weapons, I assume anything explosive can knock it out. I haven't tried with the devastator primary yet.
I just signed up can’t wait to get home and have a blast 💯
