Questions
What should I do first in Helldivers 2?
Finish the tutorial, run a low-risk mission, and learn how stratagems, objectives, and extraction work together. Your first sessions should build comfort with mission flow, not chase perfect gear.
Is Helldivers 2 better played solo or with a squad?
It is built for co-op, and the game is much more forgiving with a squad that communicates or at least stays coordinated. Solo play is possible, but beginners usually learn faster with other players covering weak points.
What is the best resource to spend first?
Spend first on the unlock that fixes your biggest mission failure point. For most new players, that means core stratagems or ship upgrades that improve survivability and mission consistency.
How do I know which weapon to use?
Use a weapon that solves the problems you actually face. If you die to swarms, prioritize crowd control. If heavy enemies are the issue, bring an anti-armor answer. Comfort matters, but coverage matters more.
When should I start playing harder difficulties?
Move up when you can complete several missions in a row without repeated reinforcement losses and with a loadout that reliably handles both light enemies and armored targets. If extraction is still chaotic, stay lower for longer.
