50+ Helldivers 2 Tips and Tricks to go from Beginner to Pro! | Myelin Games

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!

Deviation of your attention from this video will be considered treason.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Down on D-pad gives yourself supplies with the supply pack on controller.

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

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.

When the charger runs at you, go around bug holes, the charger will destroy them for you.

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.

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.

I'll be joining the fight for super earth sometime next month. Can't wait! Thanks myelin.

the "if you liked this video...if not" bit at the end of the video was so funny 😂

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.

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.

There's so many hidden details in this game that I just love exploring so far.

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!

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.
