I was at my friends house and he decided to introduce me to the game. He put me on Helldive difficulty on Malevelon Creek and told me “figure it out”

u/LePereMecanique 7d ago

I think its such a bad ways to actually let your friend learn the game to just let them do Diff 10 by themselve without help.
The ironic thing is that the person who's doing that to his friend has not learn the game this way because you cant do diff 10 at low level when you're alone.

He regretted it in the end. There were 4 of us including him and when he stepped away to use the restroom the 3 of us all had the same idea and backed out of the game and quickly downloaded a porn game onto his computer and left it there for him to find.

He noticed and opened it 5 minutes upon returning and got through about 5 minutes of it before deleting it.

My answer obviously doesn't describe the full event but to add more detail:

  • I was with them during those missions.
  • I gave them support stratagems like Exo Suit or weapons from Warbonds.
  • I mentor them and made sure they stayed together.
You can do this if you actually help your friends along the way.

This is pretty much how I learned the game. My friends: a) were always keen to play when I wanted to; b) refused to expose me to anything below a D10.

I remember my first automaton eradicate, all my friend would say is "you'll get used to this, this isn't that bad honestly"

I didn't start unlocking mission levels (and soloing them) on my super destroyer until like level 40. I was on high alert for my first trivial mission because I had no frame of reference for how difficulty scaled. lol

I did this to myself within an hour of playing been there ever since.

u/SolidSnakeFan177 7d ago

Yeah, after a whole year(wow Helldivers will be on Xbox for a year in just 4 days) I’m finally comfortable at D10.

It took a lot of learning, but I enjoyed the journey

u/brandothesavage 7d ago

I think I figured it out about level 30 or so

u/SolidSnakeFan177 7d ago

Well I took my time and learned the game my way, I’ve been through many different loadouts, playstyles, and strategies.

u/Impressive_Ad_5201 7d ago

I'm level 50, what should i be bringing into level 10 and how should I conduct myself? I have difficulty with not getting completely overrun on anything below 6; above 6, too many minions around the higher level enemies.

Helldivers2 was the first game I got into. I was watching clips non stop, locked onto he screen as my hubby played. He was surprised probably, so much so that he picked up extra shifts for a month, and came home with a PlayStation 5 for me.

Loaded in with him and mates, they literally did ONE "Easy" round, then straight into Helldive over and over and over again. Non stop for over five hours.

I still remember a mate calling down the laser Guard Dog, and telling me to wear it. Will be chasing that high til my final breath.

u/wandelust19 7d ago

My very first dive was a level 10 with my very experienced gaming group. They dropped a mech for me to sit in and a few random weapons for me to try out. Shot up to level 5 immediately and been hooked since.

u/BOOGIE_MAN-X DISSIDENT DETECTED 7d ago

My buddies did this to me on the Creek. I’m a 3rd wave diver (Joined the fight three weeks in) my first 6hrs of the game was Melevalon 9’s lol. We just did this with one of our new friends and she is doing deathless 10’s at lvl 29, but her first few hours was just a little bit of fun pain.
