Overview
Early progression in Helldivers 2 involves selecting effective stratagems, weapons, and ship module upgrades, with eradicate and thin-out missions serving as the fastest leveling method through sentry and minefield use in confined areas.
Ship module upgrades require common green, rare orange, and high-level pink samples to unlock benefits such as reduced Eagle stratagem cooldowns.
Recommended offensive and defensive equipment includes support weapons like the machine gun, Stalwart, and armor-piercing Railgun, alongside orbital and Eagle strikes, sentries, minefields, and specific War Bond weapons and boosters.
Certain weapons and equipment, such as the Laz Scythe, Liberator Penetrator, Diligence Counter Sniper, Breaker Spray and Pray, and smoke grenade, are identified as poor choices.
Defensive positioning tactics feature deploying sentries, mines, rocket launchers, and SOS beacons, using elevated rocks for safety against most enemies, going prone against bile, throwing impact grenades at green targets, and playing with a full team to multiply deployable firepower.
