I haven't been playing this very long, but i'm going to play the heck out of this. Keen for full release. Thanks for sharing in early access. Probably do another review further down the line!

Wow, what a game and what a community. Out of 10 games on average, 9/10 games you play through from start to finish, no issues. You all pull together and have some great setups, communication is easy. Rarely do you get instant kicked, only happened in 3 games total so far playing the game in 28 hours of Hell Diving, probably speed runners grinding out fast xp/medals which is fair enough, you do need some ideal unlocks to do that efficiently, i get it.

Don't let the level of someone fool you, I've seen some level 40+ people do real questionable plays while I've seen level 10's absolutely dominate the field. Level's do give you an unlock advantage for stratagems and armour and weapons but that doesn't matter if you don't have the skill to back it up.

As a new player, start out killing the bugs. Get some good unlocks for the Robots before you jump in because they have some crazy arsenal let me tell you, there's nothing like getting blown a few hundred meter's away from a huge turret or bombarded by rocket's from those Devastators.

Setups so far:

For solo missions I've enjoyed taking:
- Guard dog Rover
- Laser Cannon (Ï'm a firing my laserrr)
- Grenade launcher (Great for bug nests or unlock engineering armour for +2 to grenades)
- Mortar Turret
- Gatling Turret
- Scout armour, amazing for stealth plays
- SSG Breaker shotgun, you burn through ammo but you clean house with that thing

For Squads try varied setups
- Expendable rocket launcher
- Laser cannon
- Arc Thrower (Careful where you aim it, legit, be careful!)
- Mortar turret
- Medium armour either +2 grenades or +2 stim's etc. can really run whatever
- Don't forget to run supply pack if you got it, nothing like helping the squad refill on supply's on the go or mid fight
- Be a good squad mate and help your auto cannon/recoiless rifle users by helping them to reload faster by picking up the ammo pack that drops with it

I can't wait to unlock more items and take on tier 7+, visually the game's great and even some of the unexpected deaths are just too good. Go watch Helldivers 2 Funny moments on youtube, that is what got me into the game as well as the highly positive reviews.

Now go Deliver some Democracy Helldiver!
