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?

    I just did my second mission and a random level 56 guy came down and helped me. It was so nice! I accidentally killed them once, but they seemed understanding about it lol. (Well, none of us had mics on but it seemed like it.) Then they went to my ship but I had to head out and get ready for work, so I guess to them it looked like I randomly left. I’ll miss them.

    Maybe I should’ve added them as a friend or something lol.

      A lot of guys (me included) will join low difficulty games and help people learn the tactics and how to do the objectives. I usually bring toys, like the Mech suit, Car and equipment a new player likely doesn’t have unlocked. People really seem to enjoy it.

    You can just go to the map and hit the big button at the bottom. Though it’s probably best to do the current major objectives so you get those fat stacks of medals to unlock shit. You can still use the big find game button, but you’ll want to at least zoom into a planet in the active zone to be connected to games going on there, as opposed to the entire galaxy.
