Galactic War Status: Day 7

...back? We're back? We are? Okay, good. good. Finally.

Welcome back, viewers! We took a wrong turn in FTL and ended up very far outside of transmission range with Super Earth, and it took us the better part of the last 48 hours to find our way back. Very sorry about that. We'll try to catch up on the news now.

Day 6 of the Galactic War was a solemn loss on the bot front, as the Helldivers were unable to protect Vernen Wells from the Automaton invasion. Who knows how harshly the war effort will be impacted by the loss of recruits training there? Unfortunately, we were among the many who did not even notice the simultaneous attack of Varylia 5 in the Trigon sector, leading to a near-completely unopposed takeover of the planet by Automaton forces. 

Indeed, even High Command seemed to be working against their own best interests, having sent out personal orders to eradicate over two dozen Hunters, leading troops to land on less tactically valuable planets in the East rather than Vernen Wells, where they belonged. On the other hand, SEAF forces in Terminid territory managed to completely cleanse Fenrir III this time, rescuing the day from being a total loss. Let's hope another undiscovered nest doesn't spring up, though.

And now onto the current day. With the factories back at home churning out bullets, there must be an excess, as the personal orders of the day are to score at least one hundred confirmed kills using the A/G-16 Gatling Sentry. While incapable of penetrating heavy armor, this automated bullet hose near-instantaneously tears apart anything short of it.

As for the matter of territory, a swarm of bugs has found its way onto Turing in the Umlaut sector and is spreading across the surface now. SEAF forces are already quelling the infestation as I speak! Back on Vernen Wells, what little ground we have left is slowly receding as SEAF troops struggle to maintain control. Reinforcements cannot come soon enough!

That's all for now. Give 'em Hell, Divers!

Remember, helldiver, you can bring whatever the hell you want and succeed... it's just that some options really aren't the "best" and maybe you should recognize why.

Please.

Like please recognize that bots get mulched by mortars because very few of them are pathing towards us and they like to stand in place shooting (thus getting hit by mortars).

And please recognize that the reason you are blowing yourself and half the team up constantly is because you keep bringing mortars against BUGS, the enemies that are CONSTANTLY moving towards us so all your mortars keep missing until they "mysteriously" stop moving while meleeing a teammate whom is now being blown up "mysteriously" by mortar fire.

Just a thought.

"Thanks for getting the sentries back in working order, a Helldiver couldn't work without the team on the Destroyer."

Rember to thank your crew on your Destroyer today :)

[demilypyro]

What rank are you in helldivers?

Which guns you use?

I'm rank 12 right now. I'm mostly using the breaker, the explosive assault rifle (I forget what it's called) and for my support weapons I mostly use the anti material rifle, the auto cannon, the stalwart, and lots of sentries

[untaken0name]

got helldivers on christmas its really fun

yesterday i managed to solo a destroy command bunkers mission against the automatons on helldive difficulty

the secret is the jetpack !!

i just used the jetpack to get to a high point where i could see the whole base then called down an orbital barrage, an hmg emplacement, and a rocket sentry to kill everything before they even realized what was happening

very fun strat i like how creative you can get with how you approach missions

"Science Is No Laughing Matter!"

The 8008th division, known colloquially as the "Canines" are the Ministry of Science's personal attack dogs. Founded by a enigmatic Tech Diver known simply as "The Doc," these brave, albeit isolated Helldivers dive into missions entirely on their own, with only Rover drones by their side. They do this not because they are fools, but because of the risk they pose to their fellow divers.

The Canines frequently deploy with weapons and stratagems deemed too dangerous to use in squads, including things such as Mortar Sentries, Mines, and Tesla Towers. By diving alone, these divers maximize the effectiveness of these stratagems, while minimizing casualties to their allies.

Because of the hazardous nature of their tools, many of the 8008 have lost limbs in the field, thus most if not all of them will have armor sets like the Servo Assisted set, while the helmet of choice is the Drone Master for its exceptional aid when controlling Rovers.

Should you encounter "The Doc" or any other members of the 8008, assist them at your own risk. Their work is dangerous, and friendly fire is almost certainly guaranteed. Take Risks. Save Lives. For Super Earth!

FIREDROP - Quick N' Dirty Drop Pod Warfare for 1-4 Players

War! What purpose would we have in this life without it?

It’s been five years since the Siphonapterian scourge was first encountered on Apterion VI. In the years since, the superflea plague has spread across more and more of our great Empire. We still do not know how they spread, but we do know wherever our ships went after fighting them last they would appear, as if following us—clearly aiming to discover our homeworld and consume it. 

Now more than ever, we need good and honorable Soldiers to take the fight directly to the Siphonapterians and show them there’s nothing a little national pride and a heaping dose of lead (and explosives) can’t solve. Oorah!

In FIREDROP, you and your friends play as Soldiers dropped from low orbit to fight the hordes of superflea’s infesting the planet. Each mission will be unique, with its own objectives, Siphonapterian nests, and extraction point. Your job is to complete the objective and, if you can, extract with your life intact. To aid you in battle, you will have a number of clone reinforcements available upon your death as well as high impact firepower like sentries, orbital bombardments, and more.

FIREDROP is a 28-page, half-letter, black and white zine hex and dice wargame using a d20, a bunch of d6s, pens, and paper.

This is something fairly new for me, but it’s been a lot of fun to make and really fun to playtest. And yes, it is heavily inspired by Helldivers 2! I started making it while I was waiting to get into the game’s very overloaded servers to play!

You can get it in PRINT over at the MCGW shop!

You can get it DIGITALLY on Itch.io!

You can get it for FREE by subscribing to my monthly newsletter which always has a tabletop freebie, each and every month!

Quick little drawing I made of a Steel Talons version of the Reckoner.

Came up with this with @thereadingaddic7

-Steel Talons exclusive.

-2 garrison slots

-2 healing/repair drones deploy when it hunkers down

-No instant clear

-Heal and replace lost squad mates while inside

-Autocannon mounted on roof (three round burst- fires like the Helldivers 2 Autocannon sentry. Similar damage per second to Guardian Cannon)

-Clears mines

-Stealth detection(????)

Visually, I know this isn’t really the best concept. So!

-Treads rather than wheels

-One long, black, bullet resistant windshield rather than three small ones

-Dozer blade.

-Door on the back side

-GDI/ST symbol on the sides

[s3znl-gr3znl]

AITA

Helldivers 2 edition.

On Challenging.

Completed all objectives but got to extract with no reinforcement left, and everyone but me is dead.

16 mins left in the match.

Call in a guy and spam hold position and wait. He immediately runs to try and extract.

Punch him off console and spam no and wait because we have time and i want to extract with everybody.

He tries again and i punch him off the console again and tell them to wait.

He kills me.

Starts extraction is immediately swarmed by 3 bot drops and has no sentries because he placed them immediately in the middle of the landing pad.

Easily 40+ bots in the area in under 20 seconds.

They somehow survived to call in the next available reinforcement, and i kick him.

We ended up losing the match because of mr impatient.

[certifiedbigman]

me whenever someone brings a mortar sentry in Helldivers 2

We have elected to remove you from the polycule, as combat data recorded over several engagements indicates you are failing to synergise with your allies’ skillsets and are actively hindering operational efficiency

Arsenal & Strategy Status

Good news for our warriors on Meridia: High Command has noticed the difficulty in fending Terminids off the drills and is dispatching additional A/M-23 EMS Mortar Sentries to all active Super Destroyers in response. It's a smart choice, as EMS effects can safely prevent most Terminids from even moving. The only remaining struggle will be stopping the highly resilient Bile Titans and extracting alive amidst the Shrieker swarm. 

Similarly to Bile Titans, Shriekers are also immune to the impairment wrought by EMS, which means they'll have to be dispatched the old-fashioned way—with plenty of bullets. Some soldiers have begun taking a variety of bullet hoses with them in order to protect their squad against these fliers. A powerful combination we've personally recorded footage of is the simultaneous use of assault rifles, machine guns, and ballistic sentries. This staggering throughput of bullets clears the hordes from the sky with minimal risk of friendly fire.

Additionally, many heroes have taken to learning the Shrieker's attack patterns in order to find the most effective evasive maneuvers. Two popular strategies are to use the surrounding walls and cliffs as cover, limiting the possible directions of aerial assault, and to move unpredictably. Once they've started a divebomb, Shriekers have little steering control, and even groups are easily dodged by constantly switching directions. Finally, diving into prone seems to be effective at avoiding divebombs and giving a trooper just enough time to inject themselves with a stim in order to keep going.

We are still standing by for the Helldiver's next set of personal orders and will return with them soon. Give 'em Hell, Divers!

I found a website that gives you a random loadout to bring to Helldivers.

I'm just lucky I had the grenade pistol and HE grenades for scout striders. I didn't have anything particularly useful for hulks aside from the sentries. Also this was heavy armor. It had reduced recoil but without a machinegun that was useless and the lack of mobility really sucked because I'm used to running light.

The battle sucked but it was a fun challenge.

[demilypyro]

re: Helldivers 2 i would highly recommend trying a loadout with all Eagle stratagems at some point. having a constant stream of near instant-deploy airstrikes is incredibly fun, especially paired with the armor perk that lets you throw stratagems farther

That does sound fun but muh sentries....
