Things you need to know if you're gonna be dropping in Helldive difficulty with randoms.

• Most importantly, STAY MOBILE. Do not dawdle. I know mowing down endless streams of bugs is fun, but we have tiers 7 and below for that. Here you're eventually going to run out of means of dealing with chargers, titans, and mortar bile spewers. Get to the objectives, get them done, and get going.
• Which leads me to my second point. You don't have to call down your support weapons etc immediately. Assess the situation first and retreat if you have to. Sometimes people like to drop right in the middle of a large bug nest or a hatchery. Here it is implied that everyone scatter and take down as many objectives in the process to regroup later.
• Don't be afraid of dying, but also be very mindful of it. If you can make it into a hatchery and take out all the eggs with impacts and a sacrificial cluster/380/120 then great! 1 life for 1 of 3 objectives is a win. But if you find yourself dying more than 5 times per match, you need to move down a difficulty level until this doesn't happen anymore. IMHO, on helldive the team is supposed to have at least 10 reinforces left while doing evac. The Evacs are lost because the reinforcements are lost during the mission.
• If a teammate brings a recoilless or spear, pay mind and cover them during reloads. They have dedicated themselves to anti tank not for their own benefit, but the whole team's.
• If you pass by the evac point and a teammate drops a mech or any other high value stratagem there, it is not a gift to you. It is being saved for evac.
• If you split up into teams of 2, and someone on the other team, on the other side of the map dies, DO NOT FUCKING REINFORCE THEM.
• Pay mind to where you are throwing your reinforcements. Steering lock is a thing now so unless expressly asked, do not throw them right into the thick of it.
• If asked to throw them in the thick of it, MARK the nearest bile titan or charger so they have an easier time dropping through them.
• There are 2 strategies for helldive: Breaking into teams of 2 and sticking as a team of 4. You need to be mindful of people's loadouts to see which would be more effective.

1. If everyone is fairly mobile you can break into teams of 2 and do a blitz strat.
2. If you have teammates with heavy weaponry, turrets and heavy armor, consider sticking together to cover each other's weaknesses.

• While you need to try to be mindful of where you throw your eagles, it is ALSO your responsibility to be aware of your position relative to where allies have thrown theirs. 90% of eagles can be ran away from even if they're thrown right on top of you. And you share some responsibility in making sure you're out of the way. You get an audio queue when the teammate throws it, and a huge fucking red lazer. Do not hold your ground, hope for the best and then blame when you could have gotten out.

• Finally, and this one is geared toward the experienced helldive difficulty vets and the thing I myself am very guilty of**:** We've all dropped into a shitshow where teammates are just dawdling around, not accomplishing anything and thought "Fuck it. I'll do it myself". And took off running in an attempt to solo the objectives. Might as well try to sneak them in while the teammates draw in the hordes right? OR we're just used to that super efficient pace we have with our regular squad where everyone just knows what to do without having to communicate.
  But what this ends up doing, is leaving your possibly less experienced teammates to their own devices, and burning through lives you're gonna need for evac. What it also does is make it 10x harder for anyone actually trying to follow and do the right thing, because as you dash through the enemies with your 550 speed light armor, you're putting all those enemies between you and your teammates. Try to work together Every team needs a pace-setter. But you set the pace so they can keep up, not get lost.

TLDR: Stay mobile, stay alert, stay aware of and look after each other, and helldive will become a breeze.
