Hey fellow Helldivers,
I just installed the game and went through the tutorial and did my first mission where I had to blow up some transponder on some planet with robots.
Whats next? Should I just start picking random sectors and missions and keep playing? I still feel a little lost, like I don’t really feel like I know what I’m doing still lol. Is there a way to get more tips and tricks about how to play? Weapons and builds?
And how do I catch up on lore for the game so far? Sounds like we just lost something big (or maybe won something big) related to a Wormhole? How do I catch up on that?
Honestly, just play missions read the broadcasts and check out the official helldivers youtube channel to catch up on some lore as you go.
You can google weapons and builds, but make sure to look at more recent stuff as weapon and enemy balance changes regularly. Try stuff out because most stuff is solid in the right situations but that is more of a higher level issue. At low mission difficulties try out whatever you want as you get used to the game.
There are rarely wrong loadouts other than focusing too much on one thing. Take some heavy hitting stuff and some crowd control stuff and you can handle most missions.
