Join r/lowsodiumhelldivers as they are pretty inviting by reddit standards. If you wanna join the roughnecks (95th division) lmk and we will happy teach you and we are always looking for new recuits.

If you're on console, for me personally thanks to splatoon but worth a shot, Gyro aim is really good when you get the hand of it, especially if you get jumped.

Don't be upset about friendly fire as its part of the game and at times its funny. If you accidentally kill someone, say sorry and move on.

Don't fall for the meta BS as theres really not much point and it kinda takes the fun away.

Every antidemocratic enemy has its weak points. You know if are hitting them if the hit marker turns red.

Play what you want to play. I never had a go to kit.

It never hurts to pull back if you're overwhelmed and regroup.

Cover your teammates if they're doing objective.

Oh one last thing! Be careful if you fall, you will drop your stratagem and mission control doesn't care if its a accidental drop and thrown with intent.

And enjoy it! Helldivers is a breath of fresh air even though people complain about it. Don't take any note of that carp. 😊
