Objective

Cover anti-armor, crowd control, objectives and support before the drop instead of bringing four identical loadouts.

  1. 1

    Build the squad around jobs, not favorite weapons. Cover anti-armor, crowd control, objective interaction and team support before launching.

  2. 2

    Call stratagems before throwing them. Friendly fire is part of Helldivers 2, so a short warning prevents a good defense from becoming a squad wipe.

  3. 3

    One player should watch the map and keep the team moving. Clearing every patrol can drain reinforcements without advancing the mission.

  4. 4

    At extraction, assign firing lanes and preserve one answer for heavy enemies. Do not spend every orbital strike before the shuttle countdown begins.
