Guide: Helldivers PS4, PS3, PlayStation Vita Hints and Tips for Killing Alien Scum

Push Square: "As we wrote in our review, Helldivers is a great downloadable game. Taking the fight to aliens across a multitude of different planets, there's little more satisfying than taking chunks out of big beasties with a barrage of bullets. Sadly, not everyone can adapt to the life of a Helldiver so easily. Starting out can be tough, even with the title's well judged difficulty curve, so we've put together a handful of hopefully helpful hints and tips to support Super Earth's new recruits."

How's the game with matchmaking?

[MysticStrummer]

Great little game. Love the procedurally generated levels and the overall war effort data.

[Patricko]

How long this game is? Is there any replay value in it?

There are 3 factions to fight against. When you beat one planet, another takes its place (beat planet one, you get another planet one), with more planets becoming available as you level up. The difficult at level ten is called "Suicide"... When the community beats enough missions / planets, they move up a set of planets towards the factions homeworld, which you eventually get to fight for a certain amount of time. There's also 4 player co-op which adds a lot of fun to the game. As early previews have said, you can beat the first 4 or 5 levels solo, but gonna need help further on. Also unlockable perks, weapons, cosmetics as you level up, and stratagems from beating all the missions for a planet (bonus xp once you've there are no more stratagems for the planet).

And fun little tip about the hellbomb,
"When the Hellbomb is armed, you'll only have a few seconds to get out of the blast zone, while anyone still within it will get annihilated."

/\ You can also dive for cover if you're not going to make it out of range and still survive. Same applies (somewhat) if you're not gonna get out of the way of the charging tank bugs...

Thanks rdgneoz3 I didn't know that! The game is challenging on the higher difficulties. Every little bit of strategy helps.

How do I play with my friends? I have no idea how to join their game or how they can join mine.

[Jubez187]

In the ship, go down and there's a multiplayer little portal thing

[Ol_Boy]

Yes but it won't let me join a game from anyone on my friend list. Only random people online.

[Gority]

Go to the multiplayer, hit R1 to go to friends. Join their game.
