Making some videos of Helldivers 2 as an introduction for some people I know. Starting with the easiest difficulty, but doing the faction I find hardest to fight so there's still an entertaining challenge.
Equipment
Light Armor so I can outrun the surprisingly fast voteless zombies. Also comes with protection against my own flamethrower.
Defender SMG as a good generalist weapon that hits a good damage threshold against the voteless.
Machine pistol to quickly do a lot of damage in an emergency.
Frag Grenades: Weaker damage than regular grenades, but a larger blast radius with quicker throws and more grenades carried more than makes up for it. Great for crowd control and still good against armored infantry.
Flamethrower: Have a horde coming at you? Putting fire between you and them usually solves the problem pretty good.
Orbital Gatling Barrage: A favorite of mine due to how frequently I can call it in. The prolonged barrage gives it good area denial, while doing a lot of damage to all but the most heavily armored targets.
Eagle Airstrike: Calls in a bomber that can damage things the Orbital Gatling Barrage can't.
Machine Gun Turret: Having another gun firing at the enemy is always good. Turrets are also good at serving as distractions when you need to get away from a fight. And this thing can be called in quite frequently.
