Helldivers 2 Beginner Guide — First Missions, Currencies and What to Unlock First
Helldivers 2 explains its controls in basic training and then leaves the rest to you: four currencies, ten difficulties, a free Warbond, Ship Modules and a friendly-fire rule that never switches off. This guide covers your first hours in order: what to do in the first missions, how a mission is won and how samples are lost, when to move up a difficulty, what each currency buys, which Warbond items and Ship Modules to take first, how armor works, and the beginner mistakes that cost the most.
Helldivers 2 Weapons Tier List | Best Primaries and Faction Loadouts
In Helldivers 2 your primary, secondary and throwable decide whether you can deal with everything your stratagems are not aimed at: medium-armored enemies, swarms, nests and Fabricators. This guide ranks the weapons that matter on the current patch, explains armor penetration and damage types in plain words, gives the best picks per faction, separates the free Helldivers Mobilize options from Warbond weapons, and covers customization and common mistakes.
Helldivers 2 Faction Guide — Bugs, Bots, and Illuminate Weaknesses
Terminids, Automatons and the Illuminate do not just look different; they ask for different damage. Bugs need crowd control and anti-tank that works on the move, bots need armor penetration and cover, and the Illuminate need sustained damage that beats shields. This guide compares the factions, then covers each dangerous unit's weak points and fastest kill, how to stop reinforcements, how to destroy nests, Fabricators and Warp Ships, and a loadout per faction.
Helldivers 2 Best Stratagems — Tier List, Faction Picks and Loadouts
You bring four stratagems into every mission, and the loadout decides more fights than your primary weapon does. The best picks answer two questions: what kills the heavy enemies of this faction, and what keeps the swarm off you while you do it. This guide ranks the stratagems that matter on the current patch, picks the best for Terminids, Automatons and the Illuminate, explains how Eagles, orbitals and backpacks share their limits, and gives four-slot loadouts for solo play and for a squad.
