I talked to a couple of other players in a group I joined about why they weren't reinforcing and found out why: they were under the impression that if you call in one round of reinforcement that only uses 1 of the stack of reinforcement, so they were literally "waiting for more people to die before reinforcing so we don't waste them". I tried to explain to them that isn't how it works, that the number is just a pool of respawns shared by the players, 5x the number of people in the squad. They didn't seem convinced.

Stalkers always come at you from the direction of their lair. Helps to track them down

On the problem of people not reinforcing: I've seen a lot of toxic behaviour where someone will split off from the team and try to complete some sub-objective on their own to help the team save time, divide and conquer, all that good stuff -- but shit happens and they die. I mean it's gonna happen, it's helldivers. But then the rest of the team just, refuse to reinforce them, or will go out of their way to go as far as they can from where that one player died before reinforcing out of spite. Like, they disagree with their idea to split up so vehemently they're trying to actually punish them for doing so, even knowing that player is going to desperately want to go back to where they died to at minimum pick up any lost samples. To be clear, I'm saying the people refusing to reinforce are the ones being toxic here.

Another tip for SEAF Artillery, as soon as you activate the console it will spawn waves of enemies to stop you. Gather all 5 shells to the loading area first, then start the terminal up. You can get in, load, and get out before you have to fight most of the time especially if you have friends.

I see a lot of comment saying "don't loot teamates". I'm gonna say "be flexible everyone." Best example i have, we were getting swarmed, lost control of the situation, my teamate die and hes the one with the anti tank bug weapon. I raised him further from the fight, grabbed his gear and samples and switched position. Wasted two missiles but ended up getting rid of thr charger messing us up. Once the situstion clear up, i go to the guy and return his gun and backpack. Down two missiles but saved the mess. He said thanks. So just dont be a dick about it wichever side you're on this situation. You're a team so act like it !

Regarding the stratagems sticking to enemies, the stratagem will stick on to non-armoured bits and bounce off of armour.

These tips are pretty basic but DO NOT take your team mates equipment... I don't know what you mean by armour but don't take people's "sub" (support) weapon or their backpacks. These items can have a 5 minute cooldown (10 minutes on higher difficulty modifiers). Use your own equipment, don't leave your team mate unable to kill tougher enemies...

Didnt know that there are objects generating the mist that can be destroyed, thought it was just a random stage hazard. This is really good to know

Not giving a lot of XP for extracted helldivers is such a nice way to tell you about the lore. 😉

You can climb up the front of the tank. You can get on top, and shoot the vent without worry of getting killed. You can also go prone on it and move towards the front and let enemies with rockets try to shoot you, destroying the tank in the process.

On the Reinforce portion you forgot a MAJOR point. If you have split the team into 2 groups and are dividing up side missions, bases/nests, and the main objectives. For the love of christ do no instantly call down that dead diver, especially if your groups are far away. You have now left that other diver likely in a very prickly situation to fight alone. Not to mention the diver you just called down is now a 2 minute trek from their equipment and samples. If both die then tough nuts they have to hump it back to their crap but nothing is more infuriating then being yoinked across the map because someone called me back in without thinking.

One major tip regarding the bots is that if you can't kill a big one immediately, shoot the limbs off to disable it. Yeah, the thing is still running around, but it becomes less of an immediate threat and buys you time to deal with others until you get to it later.

You can kill the hulk by placing 2~3 sniper shots into the front hatch (on the red light), it's very fast to kill it this way.

7:00 you also want to grab the SAM Turret sites, because they automatically shoot down enemy dropships

You actually drop your stratagem ball also if you are ragdolled by anything. Almost got a taste of my own medicine because of a charger.

Most missions that require destroying buildings give you the hellbomb stratagem once you get to the mission

Another thing too is when you do reinforce, you need to chunk that thing way away from enemies or toward the OBJ. I have so many randoms drop me right next to them as they’re dying.

The Sticky Stratagems is currently only visual for Red Strats, but is fully functional for Blue Strats, which can also do a lot of damage when they land. Don't forget about Supply Closets, 2 loot spawns for the price of an HE Grenade or other scenery damaging source. Devastators, your so called "marauders", have a light armored head so just shoot the head, while Hulks, bot mechs, have a medium armored visor so bring a sniper or autocannon. Don't trust the stated Armor Penetration of a weapon, the Senator and Slugger for instance are "Light" but can penetrate a Hive Guard or Devastator which is Medium.

Ill never now stop yelling amazon delivery when yeeting a grenade through a fabricator door

to add on to your target priority sections, especially at higher difficulties, make sure to target automatons with rockets, so the devastators, raiders, and hulk rocket variants. They will wipe your team with ease at later difficulties, especially when you don't have the time to deal with them once you're overwhelmed.

apparently enemy patrols will get alerted from spawn support stratagems so sometimes its not best to call them all in, check the coast is clear before you call in all your shit, otherwise you just wasted it... also you can use the expendable rocket launcher to shoot into the fabricator exhausts so crouching to improve aim allows you to take them out from a distance with relative ease, without wasting orbitals or whatever

Did you know: You can figure out the locations of all side missions upon dropping into a map?? Look at the big red blobs on the map overview before dropping in. When you drop in, that usually denotes bug holes and factories. But on the overview, side missions have the same appearance as medium outposts. When you check again after deploying, the tactical objectives blobs will have disappeared, subtly revealing the locations of each one to those that paid attention.

Fire Diver here. All Fire, all the time. Flamethrower is chefs kiss

Small tip when fighting automatons when you in a mission on 40 min and you on 20 min left and you see a bot with one blade (NOT TWO BLADES) and a gun SHOT HIM FIRST KILL HIM FIRST the pile of scrap will call for reinforcements and you don't want to fight automatons when you low on time cause thats where they come at you with big toys and at your weak point

About always reinforcing. Don't always do it. 99% of the time do but if you don't need the support and your teammate died closer to another player and he has the ability tp call it in let them so that they can get their support wrapons/backpack without having to run all the way over.

This was great, I'm re-binding my strategems to the arrow keys right now. You can also hold "x" on PC to bring up a menu for dropping items so whether you want to share, pick up a friend's gear so they don't have to drop in the middle of chaos to get their stuff back, or give all the samples to one person you can.

I’m sure there’s a fix or another method, but on console, I use my middle finger to hit L1, index finger to type in code, thumb on movement stick so you can run and call stuff in. Really helps my on extreme and above

You can drop stratagems on buildings to destroy them. The sos beacon and resupply can definitely be dropped on buildings to destroy them. Probably support turrets also.

stalker lair is priority! also a video where we find the super rare samples

I got a strat stuck too my shield gen pack this morning... luckily thought fast enough to take the pack off before it dropped in

I do have a Firebug build. Flame Shotgun Flame Thrower Fire Mines Fire Grenade EMS Mortar Laser Drone(optional but super handy) Fun fact. The bugs taste like chicken if you cook em long enough.

Last time I dropped in on a fabricator, the explosion afterwards killed me instantly. So maybe not that one. Also more curious about the points of interests where you can find super samples, not just medals or requisitions

When trying to take down the automatron carriers, aim for the boosters/exhausts. Just shooting the main body will take forever and probably not work like in this video

about the sticking stratagems to enemies, this will not actually change where the stratagem lands unless (I think) it's something like a sentry, resupply or support call in cause those come in pods, the eagles orbitals ect will not move even if the stratagem is stuck to a moving enemy, the reason I'm not sure about the pods moving or not is cause resupplies do track whatever the beam is attached to but I haven't been able to see if this applies to all pod based stratagems

Sometimes the robots can activate counter measures for your stratagem. So make sure to check the light of your orb before you throw.

A sniped a spore tower with SG Breaker, 500m, 7 mags. Worth it.

Wait until the absolute last second to jump out of a Chargers way. Just because you snipe closed a bug nest or spore spewed, doesn’t mean resources aren’t there still. Put down bug breaches if called. Leaving them will eventually drive you I to a patrol, doubling your problem. Bug calls go from most frequent to least frequent, small bugs, medium, large call almost never- Except the Big Brood bug, which can summon its own bugs and call breaches. Sometimes the beacons can have weapons you haven’t unlocked like Railguns- this also helps preserve resources unlocking stratagems you want and know you don’t like.

For the stratagems if you have them in hand and get hit in general and/or stumble your character will drop it as your alive

You can 1 shot drop the drop ships with a recoiless if you shoot the bottom of a rear engine

Safe mode rail gun still kills all non charger/bile Titan bugs in one headshot. (Actually idk about stalkers) it also takes armor off charger legs in two shots, same as unsafe. Unsafe is probably better for bile titan killing.

I don't understand why the stratagem inputs aren't the arrow keys by default. Its essential to move and use stratagems. Unfortunately stratagems attached to enemies don't move the target of the stratagem they deploy exactly where they first stuck not sure if its a bug.

On the point of stratagems sticking to enemies, they can also stick to players. A teammate accidentally banked a resupply and it landed on top of me, and there was nothing I could do to get out from under it and died instantly

A good tip for saving ammo for your MG is lowering the RPM. Way too many times I see guys spraying and missing half their shots because the rate of fire is way too high so the recoil throws their aim all over the place. Lowering the rpm makes that more manageable + you save ammo killing enemies faster with more accurate shots.

Thanks for your tips. I'm level 11 ATM looking to move up from medium

I once watched a Helldiver throw an orbital and it stuck to his own shield...

if using impact or thermite grenades, you pretty much NEED to throw them in the fabricator doors. you can actually get them in the vents, but it’s really hard since neither bounce, so you need to swish ‘em. same goes for any explosive weapons too, like the grenade launcher or even the eruptor

I’m glad I knew all of these tips more people gotta know to rebind to arrows so they can run on the go

If you like getting super credits and rep slips, just play on initiate and scan the map, clear the items and it takes around 10 mins of running around. I got super credits for days

sticky stratagems don't work though, the strike will happen on the last location the stratagem landed. Try it with a simple orbital and stick a moving target, the orbital will land in the spot that the enemy got stuck.

How do turrets interact with stealth? If a turret is seen, are you also spotted? Can the turret make enemies call in bot drops?

i hope they update the keybindings controls, theres alot of settings for it where its to open the map/weapon wheel/drop wheel/etc, however sonetimes changing the keybinding forces you to replace a gameplay control, or sometimes the option to tap/press/hold/etc is locked and can change but still be locked is conterintuitive

Best tip, use the rail gun and sheild if your playing with randoms trust me, use the sg shotgun aswell best gun in the game

13:08 "pick up their armour" Excuse me private you mind telling me why you're stripping our fallen comrades corpse?

You didnt mention you can blow open containers with grenades or some explosive weapons, they are usually just under small buildings around the map, rewards in between the escape pods and the double man bunkers, with 2 items inside.

9:03 ontop of reinforcing, try to toss ur teamate as close to where they died, suppose in higher difficulties u just have a shit ton of armored untis in, what are they gonna do spawning next to u tickle them? send them to their corpse so they can retrieve their support weapon and maybe protection if they got a jump pack or shield gen or u might as well get them killed again lol

For the arty. what you put in matters. don't just dump smoke or shock when there's nukes on the ground.

Calling anything will alert patrols and they will home in on them. As such,calling stuff when near ennemies can wreck a mission. Don't call stuff if it's going to get the team in trouble.

The liberator penetrator can penetrate the marauders from front any range

Bug breaches are so hard to stop once they start the animation it’s already too late most of the time just the start up calls them in

OMG THANK YOU, i was pissed about the matchmaking, everytime i start my 1st mission when i log on i instantly get people joining. After that mission when i go back to my ship if people leave i try to wait for people to join and can never get people after the 1st group leaves. I was always forced to restart my app just to get a easy quick matchmake.

I have seen a video where someone threw a granate into the one of the exhaust above the door. They are alway open compared to the fabricator door.

Switching stratagem to arrows is good for somethings... but it makes your input time much slower! Your fingers are already on WSAD, not on your arrow keys. So you need to move your hand off of your mouse and find the arrow keys. This takes awhile and its easy to have your fingers not lined up when in a panic. So for fast and natural call in times: WSAD. For being able to call in on the movie: Arrow keys.

for automatons big boys , its easier said then done especially the tanks , their turn radius speed is so damn fast & in difficulty 8 & 9 , things goes so hectic , your team mates will just fend for their self, not much experience on the bug but for the bots , its hell

I LOVE how there is soo many tips, tricks and strats but the game doesn't tell you. It's really par the course for the theme of the world. Why put so much training into green soldiers? It's a waste of time. Best to get them out in the war asap. If they make it back, fine. If not, lets hope they took a few bugs with them to hell. NEXT!

Terminid tips from a Lvl 50 There are 4 types of bugs that are dangerous- stalkers, bile spewers, chargers and titans. You alone have to have a weapon against each type. Move. Always move. Rapid fire weapons are good weapons. Slow weapons are bad. Except the Quasar cannon. It drops chargers. Contact grenades are good, the rest interesting. Stun is fun. Shotguns are gold.

1:00 for some reason I can't use the left arrow while holding w so i have to stop briefly anyway.

"Strap in and strapon" 😂

quick question : diden get how you did stems on the move, normely its ctrl and you cant move so what do you change ? thx

I both love and hate the friendship doors lol

Red stratagems stick to enemies but if they arent lock on strats they will drop wheee the beam originated not where the enemy its stuck to is later

Grenade launcher don’t work on automoton ships I emptied a clip on one in the middle didn’t do nun then tried again on the corner air thrusters and still didn’t take it down

Always reinforce right in the center of a fiery murder tornado spawn, great time.

For the automatons, bar the tanks and the heavy turrets, the railgun on unsafe complitely penetrates their armor and one/two taps them on their head. If you want to take down veichles you are better off hitting the weakspot with the auto cannon. Against the wall crawling menace the railgun can strip their armor, but heavy explosives are better to remove it and expose weak points.

None of the weapons in the premium warbonds are good, their regular counterparts massively outperform them. The incendiary breaker is awful compared to the regular breaker. Also if you want to damage armored targets the grenade launcher is a good early buy. Just shoot the ground close to your targets because if you shoot directly at armored targets the grenade can bounce towards you or your team. Anti material rifle is good against bots.

The clip at 5:12 the player seems to have two backpack items and you can only use one at a time, unless your supporting a noob player and giving it to them that seems sub-optimal

dude... i have 45 hours and your the only video ive watched thats gold. subbed edit 9:12 ish. please throw it behind you... dont throw me into the nest please lol

One big thing for automatons if you bring the GL you can take out most of them pretty fast and only the tanks and really big guys by hitting the exhaust and you can take out the big rocket towers much faster

Use the rail gun in unsafe if you're conserving ammo!

How do you return to your ship after starting a mission?

Using the Autocannon you can shoot the vent lid, ricochet the bullet and destroy the fabricators from 100m out fyi.

For the love of god, when you are loading the artillery, MINI NUKES FIRST!! please spend a few more seconds looking around the outpost and find the mini nukes, load them first, then either napalm or high explosives etc. they shoot in the order you load them also!! Looting bodies is important, if you’re using coms with your team please call out 1. You died 2. You dropped x common x rare samples 3 what enemy(s) killed you or were on you. Those are three important key points your team needs to know in a swarm. When there’s 8 chargers and god knows how many other things, they aren’t focused on any one else unless it’s communicated, they need to know what you dropped so it’s accounted for before you extract and so they know what enemies changed agro and are coming to them, and so they know if they should throw your reinforce toward your dead body or away from the swarm

you should also not reinforce into a group of shieldbots or hulks with no cover in sight its basically like you whould throw the 500kg directly after with bot damage disabled.

Going around the back of the big automatons is one of the worst ways too kill them. They also don't take "absolutely no damage from the front" an anti material rifle can headshot them. If you're a good shot that's by far the best way to deal with them. Otherwise AT rockets or recoilless rifles will 2 shot them if you hit each leg. The first leg you destroy will also massively slow them down.

Why does the game forget all my settings every time I restart the game?

Good vid, sharing knowledge makes us better helldivers. Equipment stealers are shit, comments section, but dropping the equipment is now a feature😮. Hated the mfs in the first game that would shoot you for even daring to get near their equipment. Also saw two divers kill a charger by using two flamethrowers, so flamebuild isn't bad.

This man just really called one of the most meta weapons junk. Railgun ewen with out unsafe Mode can oneshot every automaton unit except tank, two shot chargers and even allows you to clap back at bile titans. Its not the Best at everything but its the most versitile

As far as sticking strategems to enemies, this doesn’t actually work. Only orbital rail cannons and lasers will track enemies. All other strategems will continue to land at the initial point of beacon activation. Regardless of whether or not it sticks to an enemy and wanders off. Throw a precision strike onto an enemy and it brings it back to you? Don’t worry, you’re safe from the blast, but so is the bug. That’s your new problem.

11:40 "the railgun is kinda junk" ... even before you realized the unsafe mode it was great. This statement alone made me nit care about anything else said in the video.

Wait you can SPRINT and type in stratagems on console? On pc we can only walk/run, sprint cancels the menu.

Helldiver throwing missile into the air: Whos gonna carry the democracy

Don't mean any offense but the Latin phrase you're using is et cetera not eck cetera. Also, tip I'm not seeing people share is that if you open the map (tab on pc, not sure about PS5) and ping a spot that has a side objective such as the radar tower, spore spewer or SEAF artillery it will be highlighted on your compass with the appropriate mission symbol and appear with a sort of target around it on the map instead of the standard pin marker.

Yo but like. Just ask if you can take thier stuff.

Lights reduce aggro radius??? I've been wondering if crouching works, and you're telling me some splinter cell shit lol

Highest priority for the bots are rocket devastators and rocket pod hulks (they will oneshot you crossmap without explosive resist*) *unverified if explosion resist will save you

I want to play an impossible difficulty Level mission but it says, I must complete a suicide level mission first...... Except that I have, several times. WTF?

Is it me or is a lot of the enemies doing “stop and stare”

how is the railgun "junk" though! even on safe mode its probably the best weapon

SHELL RUNNING trick to add to his, Hold sprint and do its even faster. It’s kinda ridiculous

“Advanced tips for high difficulty” oh did you guys know you should reinforce your team when they did? Amazing tips bro
