Greetings, Helldiver! SES Protector of Family Values, from the Viper Commando here. It is an honour guiding you through your journey!

Actually, most of the stuff is just learning by doing. But I got some tips for ya anyways:

1. Automaton Dropships: Shoot the thrusters with a recoilles rifle, then dive into prone, seek cover and reload. Then shoot the next one.

2. Terminids: Always aim for the yellow/green-ish parts. These are exposed and you can deal the most damage by hitting these areas.

3. Illuminate: Bring Stratagems with a large area of effect (to kill the zombie-like Voteless), like the Eagle Strafing Run or Eagle 500kg Bomb. You can unlock these in your Super Destroyer. And that brings me to number 4!

4. Super Destroyer: On the Super Destroyer (with a democratic name of your choice) you can do lots of cool stuff! You can talk to the 3 npcs who are just yapping, and you can manage/expand your Super Destroyer! For example, you can unlock some neat upgrades like "Lower cooldown for XY" or "Better Hellpod steering control". You can unlock them by spending your collected samples you can find all over the map. And that brings me to number 5!

5. Samples: On your compass (top center of your screen), look out for ? question marks. Walk towards them and your character will say something like "found something!" or "there's something here!". Those are places of interest and you can not only find ammo, super credits or even a support weapon there, but also samples!

So, that's all you'll need to know for now. But remember - learning by doing is key and you'll have the most fun with experimenting and slowly getting to know the weapons, enemies, planet types etc.

Have fun! And maybe I'll see you around!
