How to join a public game in Helldivers 2
If you don't have any friends to play Helldivers 2 with but still want to play some multiplayer, here's how to join a public game.
How to join a public game
All you have to do to join a public game in Helldivers 2 is use the Quickplay feature on the Galactic War table.
However, you'll need to make sure your Matchmaking Privacy setting is set to Public in the settings, or you won't be able to join random players. Once you've set this correctly you should be able to join in with other players using the Quickplay feature. It'll just drop you into a mission with others, and you'll be able to select your loadout as usual.
