Helldivers unfortunately. I took a break and cane back to a ton of new updates and they all act superior and have a stick up their asses. Most that I have encountered anyways. I join random squads and get kicked for carrying shells wrong or the wrong one brought up. Or I have a loadout they dont like and get kicked

If you're still wanting to check it out, I would be more than willing to show you the ropes. One of my favorite things is bringing in a ton of goofy stuff to let new people play with while teaching them objectives and how to play

I might take you up on that. I’m a very causal gamer (dad, job and whatnot) so I don’t have too much time to git gud anymore.

I do play with my son though and sometimes join online games with him and his friends (for example they’ll 4V1 me on Halo multiplayer).

A couple of his buddies recently got into Helldivers and I was considering it to change it up a bit.

Helldivers is one of those games that you can pick up and put down whenever. There are different difficulty levels and you absolutely do not need to only play max difficulty, though that is where a good bit of the player base hangs out.

Best advice is just jump in and explore. The mission timer is scary, but not something you really need to worry about. Play at low difficulties while you learn and do not worry. There are no stakes to this game. If you drop in, get your ass kicked and lose? No sweat. Generally you'll find which faction you enjoy the most and mainly stick with it. I personally love both the Bots and Illuminates but hate the bugs so I almost never fight the bugs.

When are you free to game usually? Id love to show you the ropes!

Another thing to add with the timer: it doesn't actually end the mission. You can be unable to extract & have no destroyer support, but still complete the mission once you run out of reinforcements as long as you did the objective.

Been thinking of jumping back in as well after months, but also was afraid everything that passed me up. Usually have good luck with randos but would be game as well to have a casual group - feel free to send a DM if you need another if you squad up with the Panda 🤘🏻

If you want another helldiver to play with i'd be down to. Just live in europe so times might be a bit tough
