HOW TO SPREAD MANAGED DEMOCRACY LIKE A TRUE HELLDIVER

THIS GUIDE WILL TEACH YOU HOW TO BECOME THE BEST OF THE BEST.

RULES TO MAXIMIZING DEMOCRACY OUTPUT

RULE 1. Know the map environment and weather.
WHETHER ITS FOG OR FIRE TORNADOES STRAIGHT OUT OF THE MOLTEN PITS OF HELL, MAKE SURE YOU ARE AWARE OF THE WEATHER BEFORE YOU START A MISSION, OR YOU MIGHT FIND YOURSELF SURPRISED.

RULE 2. Equip weapons that are preferred by YOU.
DON'T JUST USE WEAPONS EVERYBODY ELSE IS USING. BE DIVERSE AND USE WEAPONS THAT YOU LIKE.

Rule 3. Do not kill teammates for samples, super credits, or requisition slips.
EVERYBODY SHARES THESE ONCE SOMEBODY PICKS THEM UP. KILLING YOUR FELLOW HELLDIVER JUST TO GET A SAMPLE YOU ALL SHARE AT THE END OF A MISSION IS TREASON.

Rule 4. Unless you are using explosives do NOT aim for the squishy parts on some of the bugs.
MOST NEW HELLDIVERS THINK AIMING FOR THE TAIL ON A CHARGER, OR THE BELLY OF A BILE TITAN WILL BYPASS THE THICK ARMOR AND DEAL HEAVY DAMAGE. THIS IS COMPLETELY FALSE. THESE "SQUISHY PARTS" HAVE HIGH RESISTANCE TO BULLETS AND YOU END UP WASTING DOUBLE THE AMMO YOU NORMALLY WOULD WHEN TRYING TO ELIMINATE A THREAT SUCH AS A CHARGER OR BILE TITAN. INSTEAD, USE A RAILGUN, ANTI TANK, OR ANYTHING POWERFUL AND AIM FOR THE HEAD OF A BILE TITAN AND AIM FOR THE LEG OF A CHARGER.

Rule 5. Do not be afraid to use stratagems.
IN STICKY SITUATIONS, DO NOT SAVE YOUR STRATAGEMS FOR LATER USE. USE THEM WHEN NECESSARY.

Rule 6. Memorize Stratagem Combinations
MEMORIZING THESE COMBINATIONS CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE. WHEN UNDER THREAT WITHOUT ANY AMMUNITION, MEMORIZING THE RESUPPLY STRATAGEM COMBO (S S W D), CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE. THIS APPLIES FOR ALL OTHER STRATAGEMS TOO.

Rule 7. Do not be afraid to potentially sacrifice yourself for the cause.
IF THERE ARE A LOT OF BUGS OR BOTS ON YOUR LOCATION AND THINGS ARE LOOKING GRIM, THROW DOWN THAT 500KG BOMB AND GO OUT LIKE A HERO. (Do not attempt when holding large amounts of samples)

Rule 8. Attempt to close every bug hole and do every side objective in a mission.
THESE CAN BE IDENTIFIED USUALLY BY THE LARGE AMOUNT OF RED AROUND THEM ON THE MAP. THE MORE OF THESE YOU DO, THE MORE YOU ARE REWARDED AT THE END OF A MISSION.

Rule 9. Dive with fellow Helldivers.
GOING IT SOLO IS PERHAPS THE WORST THING YOU CAN DO. ALWAYS GATHER A GROUP OF HELLDIVERS TOGETHER TO ENSURE MAXIMUM DEMOCRACY.

Rule 10. Communicate
MAKE SURE TO TELL YOUR FELLOW HELLDIVERS INFORMATION THEY NEED TO STAY ALIVE AND FOLLOW A PLAN. WHETHER ITS "I'm placing a mortar, don't get close to the enemies." OR, "I'm going to activate the pumps, you guys close those bug holes." MAKE SURE YOUR TEAMMATES KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND WHAT THEY SHOULD BE DOING.

GOOD LUCK OUT THERE

AS THE BATTLEFIELD AND ENEMIES CHANGE, SO ARE THE TACTICS THAT ARE BEING USED TO ENSURE MANAGED DEMOCRACY ACROSS THE GALAXY.

WHILE THESE TIPS DO NOT GUARANTEE SURVIVAL OR COMPLETE DEMOCRACY OUTPUT, IT WILL INCREASE THE CHANCES OF IT BY A VERY LARGE AMOUNT.

BE SAFE OUT THERE HELLDIVER, AND REMEMBER, YOU ARE SUPER EARTH'S ELITE FORCE. NEVER FORGET THAT.
