Hey fellow Helldivers! I’m hopping back into Helldivers 2 after a break and need to reset my progress as I’m now playing on PC. I’d appreciate any advice on which weapons, stratagems, and abilities I should focus on unlocking first. Should I go for the support or seasonal weapons, and are there must-have stratagems I should aim for early on? Thanks in advance for any guidance you can offer!

In terms of unlocking strategy, I’d say just finish one warbond first before moving on. As for stratagems, go with whatever seems fun or fits your playstyle. Cool and enjoyable is always a good choice, right?
I’d totally max out the first warbond before moving on to anything else. Once you can access the SC, focus on getting everything up to the Viper Commandos level. Those tend to give you a nice little boost. And hey, if something looks cool to you, maybe that’s worth trying too. Just a heads-up: probably best not to spend SC on stuff from the store.
For weapons, I recommend focusing on the Viper Commandos, mainly because the booster significantly enhances stims, making them heal faster, provide more health, and also give a cool speed boost. Often, I use stims just for the speed! Also, the Democratic Detonation is pretty solid, featuring the thermite grenade that’s perfect against tanks and a versatile crossbow good for both small and large enemies.
