Helldivers II Tips
It’s Friday night, the day is almost gone and I’m only now just getting a chance to write a post.
This is going to be a fast one.
I. If you need to take dive hit yourself with a stim first. It takes a few seconds to complete its cycle and that will usually negate fall damage.
II. Some planets have those Pod Things That Go Boom. They will, depending on circumstances the loyal Sons of Super Earth are familiar with by now, rag doll you some distance. You can use this to escape a tight spot. Just Stim up first and the impact won”t kill you.
III. Turrets can be your friend. I know that’s hard to believe but here’s the thing, you can climb up on top of them, they can’t kill you there. Shoot in the direction your turret shoots and you multiply it’s fire power. DO NOT TRY THIS WITH THE MORTAR TURRET!!!
IV. Press 5 to use the Supply Pack to replenish yourself. It’s a huge help favor machine guns.
V. You get a free artillery barrage from orbit if you run outside the combat zone. It will kill you eventually but if you have no other way to kill a Bile Titan, it’s an option.
VI. The Senator revolver has surprisingly good armor penetration.
VII. Tanks are easy to kill with teamwork and an autocannon. The Rabbit runs around while the turret tracks him, when the glowing yellow heat sinks in the back are facing the cannoneer, shoot them with the canon. Easy.
VIII. Don’t use flame weapons against the Bots. They’re great against the Bugs but the Bots don’t mind fire damage quite as much. The Breaker Incendiary is currently an exception to that rule. With the Slugger nerfed it might be the best primary in the game.
VIV. Cock your grenade arm before resupplying and you’ll get a Bonus grenade maxs at 7 depending on your armor.
X. If you are using the Quasar and are going to be stuck in one spot for a while (say during your extraction). Call in your replacement Quasar, (assuming it’s not on cool down). The Quasar has a cool-down time that feels like an eternity, but you can gun down one Drop-ship after another just by switching between them. It’s faster than the recoilless rifle.
I hope you find this list useful. This was technically a post, goodnight.
