And yes, while you can get the premium pass for free, it is a super long grind, so you'll be stuck at a wall grinding on Extreme or Hard difficulty before you can get the right weapons to proceed.
Use the environment. You've got big guns, you've got Stratagems, you've got reinforcements from teammates, but you've also got the environment to utilize. As you roam the map, you might find items you can pick up and throw, such as explosive tanks.
The map itself is significantly larger too, meaning there’s more space for you and your squad to explore, but in turn, you also need to be covering all basis faster.
"There will probably be cross-progression sometime in the future. We didn't think enough people would be interested so we decided to cut it — but now it seems there's a significant part of the audience that is playing on both platforms," Pilestedt wrote.
Just like in Helldivers 1, you’ll have access to a variety of different weapons and stratagems. Optimize your loadout for the situation you expect to be in. If you’re expecting heavily-armored enemy units, ditch the regular assault rifle and go for laser weapons, explosives, or call in an airstrike with your stratagems.
This would be a disaster in Call of Duty, but here it simply adds to the ongoing pastiche of ludicrous, senseless sci-fi violence. It’s telling that one of the automatic phrases on the communication wheel is “sorry”. You’re going to need that a lot
