Helldivers 2: Maximizing the Effectiveness of SEAF Troopers
SEAF Troopers are friendly soldiers that can be found during missions in Helldivers 2.
You can recruit them by using the 'Follow Me' command.
These troopers can help by providing fire support, targeting objectives, and acting as distractions.
They come with basic weapons like rifles and grenades and may have rocket launchers.
You can use them to protect extraction zones, guard objectives, or draw enemy attention.
However, they have limitations: they move slower, cannot reload, and are susceptible to friendly fire.
They are best used as additional support, not as a replacement for your team.
Always avoid using them with heavy artillery or airstrikes due to their low awareness.
SEAF Troopers spawn randomly on the minimap during Super Earth defense missions.
Recruit them using the 'Follow Me' option via the ping button.
Troopers offer suppressing fire and target objectives like ships and Disruptors.
They can be used for distraction, objective clearing, and as 'cannon fodder.'
Avoid placing them near stratagem drops or using them with heavy artillery.
