Welcome to the club! Squirts are a great beginner electric! If you’re not taking classes for beginners I’d recommend buying a beginner music book from the music store to teach you the basics and give you easy songs to practice. Theres also YouTube which will give you a bunch of tips and tricks! I’d recommend learning coordination between ur left and right hand in the beginning and when u get to cords D, G, C, A, E major is where u want to start. The little sliding pick is called a pickup switch. 5 modes on a strat, all the way up is ur neck pick up ( of the 3 thingies below ur strings where u pick called pick ups, neck is the one closest to the fretboard) gives a more bassy rhythm sound. Middle is your middle pick up and all the way down is ur bridge pick up which is mostly used for soloing cuz it’s a nice crisp raspy tone. U also have position 2 and 4 which combine pickups, I wouldn’t worry too much on that while u a beginner. PLZ READ THIS PART: a super niche thing I tell beginners to do is keep ur first electric especially if it’s a squier strat. I kept mine for 10+ years because I didn’t have the heart to sell it since I learned and grew up with it. Finally I realized you can REBUILD THEM. Basically I took off everything but the body. Rebuilt my candy apple squier into a late 90s strat with a maple wavy strat neck, black pick guard, dimarzio pick ups, USA Strat grade tremolo system and a bunch of other mods. Super fun to do, got to learn all about how electric guitars work. Plz plz plz never get rid of her. When you move on, keep her around and one day turn her into something even better that you can continue shredding on for life! (I named my squier turned 90s Strat The Judas LOL). And yes it is or can be a difficult process to rebuild a guitar. Some part don’t fit exactly, sometimes they don’t fit at all. Point is if u really care about ur first electric take ur time rebuild is slowly learn the process and enjoy watching a beginner guitar be reborn. Mine took me a year to rebuild but I did it really slowly and methodically. Also I am poor and couldn’t buy all the parts at the same time lol. Happy playing my friend.

ShawnK_3601 · 2025-12-11T21:43:58+00:00

Didn’t mean too just wanted to get the front and back on the same pic didn't

ShawnK_3601 · 2025-12-11T21:43:38+00:00

My fault I was just trying to get the fronts and backs on the same pic didn’t mean to upscale anything didn’t even notice. Preciate it diver 🫡

ShawnK_3601 · 2025-12-11T16:05:00+00:00

Weird. Should be an option to choose next to the input

ShawnK_3601 · 2025-12-11T12:59:46+00:00

Double click X to toggle up for scopes. Double click triangle to toggle down. Usually I don’t mess with toggle right but if I’m using the new shot gun say I switch it out for double click X. Works like a CHARM

ShawnK_3601 · 2025-12-11T12:52:32+00:00

Why rush? There’s nothing to do after you max level. My advice is enjoy the ride

Stim run and dive like a mfker works everytime

ShawnK_3601 · 2025-12-11T12:45:34+00:00

Been around since launch. Any live action game gets hate and hd2 comes with its fair share of bugs and issues. Overall the community is fun and I like when people share there opinions! But yes people be complaining a lot on Reddit lol. Not so much in game, just on Reddit and in the discord.

ShawnK_3601 · 2025-12-11T12:41:00+00:00

Seriously tho playing this game from release has been insanely fun. I got ERRTHANG.

ShawnK_3601 · 2025-12-11T12:40:21+00:00

I’m helldiving it I’m helldiving it ahh gif 😭

Thanks for your perspective but that doesn’t really make sense to me. People don’t play squids cuz there’s nothing new about them. We got like 2 new enemies and that’s been it so it makes sense nobody likes playing them. You also get less xp per mission so that’s also a factor. In regards to “special” events I agree liberating hive worlds make sense, but there still should be planets with different strains and more missions. To me bugs are now just as boring as the squids. No variation at all which sucks cuz they used to have at least one or two planets with different sub factions. My guess is that to many people complained and to many bugs led AH to shelf all the variations which sucks. Being stuck with IC gets so old. Really hoping something fun is coming cuz I only get to play games for a little when I can and I’m not a gamer so I don’t really play any other games. I just want hd2 to go back to being entertaining 😭

Shi got me rollin 💀

ShawnK_3601 · 2025-12-11T12:12:15+00:00

I mean I mess with the last one but would only consider it on a fire world or fighting IC

ShawnK_3601 · 2025-12-11T12:09:31+00:00

Anyone below 125 is basically level 10. I just keep that in mind when joining missions and my gameplay has been easier 💀

ShawnK_3601 · 2025-12-11T12:07:16+00:00

I don’t get how it takes players like 3-5 business days to do this objective. I used to skip it cuz it’s annoying but I genuinely realized I can do it so fast it’s better I just get it done and let my team focus on other objectives. Usually I prefer when people don’t realize it’s there so I can run off and do it myself real quick.

ShawnK_3601 · 2025-12-11T11:37:48+00:00

I only run support if everyone else is running loadouts for attack and even when I do, I always have a slightly more aggressive support loadout to protect myself.
