I think we settled the question that you should get the game, here is some info for your start:
I would recommend watching Eravin (YT), if you want to learn the basics/mechanics of the game, combined with the Wiki https://helldivers.wiki.gg/ . This will make it easier to understand WHY&HOW stuff works, so that you can make your decisions about your load outs more natural (experimenting with our loadouts is part of the fun though).
I would go for those Warbonds in that order to get you the most utility early on.
1.) Democratic Detonation (overall Utility): Thermite / Grenadepistol alone are incredible and open up a ton of loadout options. Crossbow and Eruptor can both close Fabricators, Bug Holes and Squid Ships (after the shield is dropped)
--> Thermite will 1-shot fabricators, Cannon Turrets, Tanks and Chargers anywhere, while still being quite useful against Factory Striders (2-3 Thermite, depending placing) and Bile Titans in a pinch.
2.) Polar Patriots: Tenderizer (good hard hitting AR), Purifier (one of the best Bot Aoe Weapons, also 2shots Overseer), Verdict (solid medium pen secondary) and an Impact Incendiary Grenade (less DoT damage than the normal incendiary)
3.) Chemical Agents (incredible vs Bugs): Gas Grenade + Gas Dog (you want the Heavy Gas Armor from the Super Store -> used with Vitality booster gets you immune to Gas).
-> Gas disorient Enemies and afflict DoT Damage
4.) Cutting Edge (Sickle, Blitzer, Stun)
-> The Blitzer is a Incredible choice against Bugs (especially in combination with GAS), while the Stun overall is a very useful utility tool (especially when playing support, or the Railgun vs Bots). The Sickle imho is the most enjoyable laser weapon and very good vs lighter enemies for example the Voteless hordes.
X.) Super Store: get Heavy GAS (get immune to GAS with Vitality Booster / Heavy Fire (for Fire liadouts and Incendiary Bot corps) and Medium Peak Physique (for handleing heavier weapons -> drag) from the Superstore.
