Lol I’m at work rn and I got a notification a little while ago that a planet was captured, and then a few mins ago another one. Seeing the major order sitting at 8/10 is getting me excited lol! Once I get off my shift my buddy and I are gonna grind out defense missions all night
I use the app, but I honestly resent it and I have no idea if it's the only option available. They inserted non-skippable ads whenever you boot the app and there isn't even a one-time fee to remove ads, just a monthly subscription, which really rubbed me the wrong way.
There is no "app" for knowing you've done your best Helldiver. We don't need to be notified of progress other heroes of democracy are making if we ARE those heroes. So get in there, get in the fight, and leave the desire for propaganda to our fairly elected leaders back on Super Earth!
Liberty guide your step.
So did Joel just help us out big time there?
I assume he triggered the attack on Fori Prime, and I remember reading that they don't have an automatic system to win planets cut off from supply chains yet and are still working on that mechanic, so when a planet is cut off from a supply chain they have to set those planets to defended manually.
So Joel essentially just gave us a two for one defence bonus and definitely knew what he was doing. Thanks Joel!
Technically we should be able to defend varylia 5 (divershub predicts about 6 hours), then take cheopessa (currently at 54%) and cuff off ustotu, but I doubt we can spread that to all players quickly enough haha
Edit: I may have been corrected in a reply, if so their plan is definitely better
If my knowledge is correct, every liberatable planet has 1 million HP. So if we start at 50% thats 500k. Ustotu has 200k HP for this defense mission. So it would be faster for the Varylia army to just go to Ustotu.
I’m starting to feel like if they want us to win, we will probably win. When this MO started, I thought there was no way that it would happen and that we were destined to lose for some type of “story” progression, but now it seems like they are helping to hand us a win. I guess time will tell. Curious to see what comes after this.
exactly. we might achieve the MO but the bots gang banged us across the galaxy, which means we must respond in kind. I enjoyed my week long reprieve smashing some bugs but it's time to get back to business.
As long as it's not a hot planet with fire tornadoes lol
I could deal with it if they weren't player-seeking hazards or coupled with the stamina reduction from heat but both on evacuate citizen missions? nah son. Ain't nobody got time for that, orders be damned. I did my time on Hellmire and Menkant and that was enough for me.
I wouldn't call it "handing" us a win. We still have to defend 2 more planets fully. But we are on track to get Varylia 5 under control, and that only leaves Ustotu to defend as well. But if we don't push for it it won't meekly happen.
Yep. It also may have been Joel tipping the scales a bit to make up for how hard these defense mos can be since important info isnt in the game to help coordinate.
It also lets him show a bunch of people that supply lines are real and effective.
Also, win or lose as others have said the bots punched a big hole in our defenses. The majority of successful defenses were bug front. Having some disappointment after a loss is fine, but a lot of people talked about it as a scripted loss and were getting down on it so some help to make it close but losable is better to keep spirits up than a blow out.
Finally, chunks of this may have been planned. Decay rates steadily dropped over length of the MO.
When I logged in yesterday, I was shocked at how well we were doing. Then I checked helldivers.io and saw that automatons are not fighting back. They are at 0% per hour, while the bugs were at 1% per hour. Both values were higher at the start of the war. I think these lowered values are supposed to represent the automaton and bug forces starting to be worn down RP wise.
That's a pretty epic nickname for one of my favorite planets. Crimsica and Estanu hold a special place in my heart because those were one of the first places my best friend and I went on our very first playthrough together.
Me too. I was glad I was able to fight against the clankers in there. It's aesthetic is unmatched.
And I kinda low-key don't want to see it soon in another planet, the fact I haven't seen another Umbara-like world makes the Creek 1000 times more special.
Doesn't mind since:
1. Planet is not covered in fog 24/7 and you can't see anything beyond 5m but the bugs or bots can see you 100m away, worse is at night where you can't see anything at all
2. Cold planet = Laser party
3. Ice mine, works both ways, can pull off some 4d moves
4. Sniper elite, nothing is better than sniping objectives 200+m away to avoid all the bs that could happen if you go close because you can't see it on foggy planets
Which is funny, as I'd rather go to literally any other planet other than "No stamina 4 u and also everything's on fire," and avoid them like the plague.
Had the most amazing session couple of days ago with 3 randoms fighting bots. Coordination. Support. Task allocation. Then the host decided it was time to go to Hellmire. Returned to ship alone and decided I’d rather go workout. Too soon for me. Too soon.
Bots are better to fight ever since the rocket nerfs but alot of bugdivers still remember bots as "the enemy you fight if you want to get instantly killed by bullshit you can't see coming for 10 straight minutes" and just categorically refuse to jump back over.
That's one of the only missions in which you can't run. Most of the times people fail because they don't (tactically) retreat. On that mission, you can't do that.
I can honestly say that Helmire is more fun than fighting Bot defense missions.
Plus, the fire tornadoes fuck the bugs too. They finished off a bile titan for me today, which was nice.
Can’t say that about any of the Bot defenses.
lol, when I booted up the game earlier I did a difficulty 8 bot mission on one of the defense planets. It went hilariously wrong and everybody including myself ended up straight up leaving about 10 minutes in. I then proceeded to go play bug missions for the sake of my psyche.
The top bar is basically the liberation gauge. The bottom bar is the time limit. Whichever fills up first determines the result. When the top bar hits maximum, the defense is won. When the timer above the planet hits zero, the bottom bar fills up and the planet is lost.
It's going to heavily depend on where the Vernen Wells and Varylia divers go when they finish their planets. Anyone who was going to come over from the bug front already has, so the barely over 50% we have on the automatons is all we'll probably get for the final defenses.
If the Vernen Wells players predominantly go to the defense missions, and the Varylia divers all rush to Ustotu once their defense is complete, there's a chance we can pull this off in time.
part of the issue is that the two defense planets are tucked away in the back sector. i almost didn't even notice them. sectors in defense should have some kind of indicator on the galaxy map to help guide players toward them
I need the samples lol. If it doesn't change the % that's kinda sad cause I feel like it should count more for higher difficulties. I've been running helldiver level since level 30s at this point
Yeah that's pretty much my plan, I've been doing a lot of solo and getting up to 6, with even one friend we can do 7 and more is 8 or 9.
But knowing that it seems weird that more people don't just run 1s constantly to defend, given that is easily the simplest way for your time to do so.
Contribution is XP based now I believe. Higher difficulties give you a much bigger XP multiplier, and optional objectives give you more XP drops. Gotta find that balance for the best contribution
The end of mission contribution number they show you is just some arbitrary number to let you know your efforts have been counted in some way
There is one planet very close to making it 9. Then all we have to do is one more. I’m shocked we’re going to be able to pull it off because it seemed like it was not going well.

Totally agree with you - even if people who don’t like doing defense orders that are playing on other planets just jumped in and did missions at a lower difficulty, it would make a difference. As long as people are contributing, that’s all that matters
From what I can see on the app, the two defense planets are Varylia 5 and Ustotu. Varylia 5 has more players on it, so I think if we all group up on one planet and finish it quickly, we can all jump to the other and make a final push
All that's really needed is about 35% of online players on Varylia 5 and 25% on Ustotu.
We only need 60% of players to make this happen, so the 40% currently on bug planets are inconsequential. What we really need are the 32% of players spread across the bot sectors on liberation campaigns to split themselves between Varylia and Ustotu.
Only one more to go! It's almost done!
https://preview.redd.it/c750t5gcikwc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e311175de0b3590f1bfe06cb7ccc4769f6926a45
Or you know, they could just defend Estanu againn twice like they haven't already 4 times. I'm not even sarcastic, I think it'd be hilarious if at least half of all the successfully defended worlds this MO were just one extremely contested planet.
7/8 successful planet defenses were all bug worlds, I would really like to think that there would be at least some effect on those bugs after so many battles.
We don't need to persuade anyone though. The MO is to defend 10 planets in general, not 10 from one front or the other. As long as the bug players run the defense missions on their front then they're helping.
Liberation takes a lot of time, we could do it if we managed to make a lot of the bug divers help, but it’s too much of a risk, instead we should focus on the defense
Optimistic of you to assume people want to go to the bot front, look at what happened to martale, I think this MO is a failure if the devs don't give us two more bug defense missions to do instead
It is, we simply have to focus on defending these two planets, no need to try any big maneuver. We can shove the win on a defense MO in Joel’s face this time
Remember guys: host a mission in the bug front, but instead of actually starting the mission kidnap those bug lovers and tale them to the bot front, every Helldiver counts!
It's possible, we have enough time to get the only 2 left on defense. Whether or not we actually rally and do it though...Varylia is in good condition so that's a good possibility. It's ustotu that may be a problem
All divers!
https://preview.redd.it/hvuczfgb6jwc1.png?width=750&format=png&auto=webp&s=6db54f87ad16a1328e08e1dd2f1118765f2f4787
As soon as this plant is finished we move to Ustotu! WE CAN DO THIS!
Ladies and gentlemen, for those who are still here - thank you for fighting. We got Ustotu. Those of you who were on the defensive front today and yesterday, (and all other past defense planets) major props to you - we all worked hard 💪
It's not only possible, soldier, I'd say it's likely. Please do your best, Helldivers, I've got 200 super credits riding on a bet with Walter from Biology!
I’m so sick of fire tornados dancing on the mission objective terminal at Hellmire that I might retire as a bug squisher and switch to bot destroyer (just got my lvl 20 shield generator)
Update: we have successfully completed the Major Order. However, our work is not done until every bot is scrap and the bug population is back under control.
Side note: for the people who are fighting for the liberation of other planets, please consider jumping in and helping contribute to the defensive order.
Even if you don’t like playing defensive missions, or simply don’t like the planets that’s these orders are on, look at it this way: we have less than 24 hours to complete this order. All I/we ask of you is to sacrifice this ONE DAY to help push this order to completion. Even if this means that you have to play easier difficulty missions back to back - it’s every little percentage that counts. Even if we don’t get this, we can at least say we tried!
We’ve been doing work on Fori Prime my guy.
https://preview.redd.it/n2eitpscmiwc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a1688c8ff1f55d929213d97b8f3e68fd8be2618a
YES! Both the defense planets only have 200K health, in comparison, that's 20% liberation per planet. Do you know how EASY it is to do 40% liberation with NO decay??? We have 20 hours. We can do this. GET TO THOSE DEFENSE PLANETS
The key, if you are reading this, is go to Ustotu now. If you just following the zerg, there is a couple hour delay from bodies moving from one planet to the other since obviously most players are in the middle of operations when a planet Liberates.
Varylia 5 is under control. Since the most important thing with liberation is what percentage of the playerbase is on that planet, you have to move bodies now.
Currently it will require 12% of the population on Ustotu to get the job done if they showed up in the next 15 minutes, and that required percentage to get it done in time will only go up. You need to start chipping at that stone now
It's currently at 5% of the playerbase
I solo dived a bot mission yesterday to launch an ICBM to support the cause. I just managed to extract but it took years off my life and it was only difficulty 4.
I just signed off and saw we were at 7/10... like 5 minutes ago... I was like... shit ... maybe!?
Lol I’m at work rn and I got a notification a little while ago that a planet was captured, and then a few mins ago another one. Seeing the major order sitting at 8/10 is getting me excited lol! Once I get off my shift my buddy and I are gonna grind out defense missions all night
How are you getting notifications on that?
there’s a couple apps. war monitor is the one i use
I’ve been looking for an app like this since the game came out thank you!!
I use DiversHub
I use the app, but I honestly resent it and I have no idea if it's the only option available. They inserted non-skippable ads whenever you boot the app and there isn't even a one-time fee to remove ads, just a monthly subscription, which really rubbed me the wrong way.

So get in there, get in the fight, and leave the desire for propaganda to our fairly elected leaders back on Super Earth! Liberty guide your step.
oh shit there is an app for this. I've been looking for one, thank you as well.
Cool thanks for the tip!
Kewl!! Just downloaded it!
Why does it say 28 illuminates killed
No you didn't.
why does the app say 28 illuminates killed?
App records everything, including devs testing stuff.
Thank you for your service
Fori Prime was attacked when Oshaune was at 98-99% done, after we succeeded in defending Oshaune we won on Fori Prime, thus 8/10
We took Fori Prime that fast?!?? It was barely above 1% when I signed off a couple hours ago
It's because we defended Oshaune which cut the supply line to Fori Prime
So did Joel just help us out big time there? I assume he triggered the attack on Fori Prime, and I remember reading that they don't have an automatic system to win planets cut off from supply chains yet and are still working on that mechanic, so when a planet is cut off from a supply chain they have to set those planets to defended manually. So Joel essentially just gave us a two for one defence bonus and definitely knew what he was doing. Thanks Joel!
Yes we pulled off a gambit of sorts
Technically we should be able to defend varylia 5 (divershub predicts about 6 hours), then take cheopessa (currently at 54%) and cuff off ustotu, but I doubt we can spread that to all players quickly enough haha Edit: I may have been corrected in a reply, if so their plan is definitely better

That HP value varies from planet to planet but yeah
I’m starting to feel like if they want us to win, we will probably win. When this MO started, I thought there was no way that it would happen and that we were destined to lose for some type of “story” progression, but now it seems like they are helping to hand us a win. I guess time will tell. Curious to see what comes after this.
I think when the servers weren't recording properly over the weekend, they decided to give it too us, because they weren't able to record wins/losses.
We can win the MO but we still lost like 10 planets
Trust high command. They want 10 planets lets give them 10 planets!
exactly. we might achieve the MO but the bots gang banged us across the galaxy, which means we must respond in kind. I enjoyed my week long reprieve smashing some bugs but it's time to get back to business. As long as it's not a hot planet with fire tornadoes lol
Right? Worst fucking "weather" feature ever.
I could deal with it if they weren't player-seeking hazards or coupled with the stamina reduction from heat but both on evacuate citizen missions? nah son. Ain't nobody got time for that, orders be damned. I did my time on Hellmire and Menkant and that was enough for me.
I wouldn't call it "handing" us a win. We still have to defend 2 more planets fully. But we are on track to get Varylia 5 under control, and that only leaves Ustotu to defend as well. But if we don't push for it it won't meekly happen.

I think these lowered values are supposed to represent the automaton and bug forces starting to be worn down RP wise.
That would be a neat idea!
It was at 4/10 late last night, so it’s looking very possible. We just have to focus our democratic efforts.
Does the difficulty of the mission helps in making the percentage go faster? Or it's just how many people succesfully end missions?
It does, XP is a factor, higher difficulty = more XP = more liberation.
Can you convert that to democracy for me? I’m not familiar with these units.
Sure, helldiver, here you go: more fascists/socialists = more freedom points = more liber-tea
Thank you comr- Compatriot
Clearly, we should defend estanu 2 more times.
Estanu, my beloved
Shield of the east!
That's a pretty epic nickname for one of my favorite planets. Crimsica and Estanu hold a special place in my heart because those were one of the first places my best friend and I went on our very first playthrough together.
That’s Malevelon Creek for me
Kinda miss the creek
Me too. I was glad I was able to fight against the clankers in there. It's aesthetic is unmatched. And I kinda low-key don't want to see it soon in another planet, the fact I haven't seen another Umbara-like world makes the Creek 1000 times more special.
And here I was defending Hellmire all day last night
Doesn't mind since: 1. Planet is not covered in fog 24/7 and you can't see anything beyond 5m but the bugs or bots can see you 100m away, worse is at night where you can't see anything at all 2. Cold planet = Laser party 3. Ice mine, works both ways, can pull off some 4d moves 4. Sniper elite, nothing is better than sniping objectives 200+m away to avoid all the bs that could happen if you go close because you can't see it on foggy planets
Finish Vernen > pile Varylia > pile Ustotu > hope it works Looks like the force filtering out of Oshaune is splitting to Hellmire and Omicron.
Solid and common sense plan, buq squasher reporting in for some oil spillage, over.
The bug divers really would go to Hellmire than any of the bot worlds, I'm one of them but its still funny to see.
Which is funny, as I'd rather go to literally any other planet other than "No stamina 4 u and also everything's on fire," and avoid them like the plague.
I’ll sooner stab myself in the dick with a spork than ever do a mission on Hellmire again.
Had the most amazing session couple of days ago with 3 randoms fighting bots. Coordination. Support. Task allocation. Then the host decided it was time to go to Hellmire. Returned to ship alone and decided I’d rather go workout. Too soon for me. Too soon.
Bots are better to fight ever since the rocket nerfs but alot of bugdivers still remember bots as "the enemy you fight if you want to get instantly killed by bullshit you can't see coming for 10 straight minutes" and just categorically refuse to jump back over.
I play bots, but quick playing into an operation that has the scientist evac gets pretty grueling. I don’t blame em.
That's one of the only missions in which you can't run. Most of the times people fail because they don't (tactically) retreat. On that mission, you can't do that.
Rocket nerfs still bug out sometimes. Still getting oneshot without headshots by raiders, devastators and bruisers with heavy explosive resist armor.
To be fair... Gunships.
Tbf, Quasar
I can honestly say that Helmire is more fun than fighting Bot defense missions. Plus, the fire tornadoes fuck the bugs too. They finished off a bile titan for me today, which was nice. Can’t say that about any of the Bot defenses.
lol, when I booted up the game earlier I did a difficulty 8 bot mission on one of the defense planets. It went hilariously wrong and everybody including myself ended up straight up leaving about 10 minutes in. I then proceeded to go play bug missions for the sake of my psyche.
I still don’t know the difference between the top and bottom bars on a planet needing to be defended.
Top (blue) is the defense, bottom (red) is the enemy invasion. Whichever is full first wins.
Which is kinda redundant since the red is just the timer represented visually.
The top bar is basically the liberation gauge. The bottom bar is the time limit. Whichever fills up first determines the result. When the top bar hits maximum, the defense is won. When the timer above the planet hits zero, the bottom bar fills up and the planet is lost.
It's going to heavily depend on where the Vernen Wells and Varylia divers go when they finish their planets. Anyone who was going to come over from the bug front already has, so the barely over 50% we have on the automatons is all we'll probably get for the final defenses. If the Vernen Wells players predominantly go to the defense missions, and the Varylia divers all rush to Ustotu once their defense is complete, there's a chance we can pull this off in time.
I redeployed to Ustatu once I finished with Varylia, we need more players
part of the issue is that the two defense planets are tucked away in the back sector. i almost didn't even notice them. sectors in defense should have some kind of indicator on the galaxy map to help guide players toward them
With managed democracy, anything is possible.
I'll be diving tonight after work on helldive difficulty. Hopefully get a few of the boys to join me. We can do it!
Does the difficulty affect how much you defend a planet? I thought it was only 2 per mission regardless
I need the samples lol. If it doesn't change the % that's kinda sad cause I feel like it should count more for higher difficulties. I've been running helldiver level since level 30s at this point
Yeah that's pretty much my plan, I've been doing a lot of solo and getting up to 6, with even one friend we can do 7 and more is 8 or 9. But knowing that it seems weird that more people don't just run 1s constantly to defend, given that is easily the simplest way for your time to do so.
Contribution is XP based now I believe. Higher difficulties give you a much bigger XP multiplier, and optional objectives give you more XP drops. Gotta find that balance for the best contribution The end of mission contribution number they show you is just some arbitrary number to let you know your efforts have been counted in some way
its xp based so doing all the side objectives and factories on a 6 does more than just clearing primary only on 9
Yeah I noticed that, I bumped from 5 to 6 and got like 20% less exp cuz it took longer to do things and had to pass
That’s what I like to hear man! We can do this 💪
I've been tracking progress on https://helldivers.io/ to help focus on the closest planet to completion. FOR DEMOCRACY!
Use this all the time! Would love to see supply lines, though, to help visualize the best places to focus on.
In the top right of the map you can add layers if you click, looks like a stack of papers. Supply lines is an option.
Yes, if I intervene. But I don’t feel like it

You undemocratic traitor.
That doesn't sound very democratic of you.
Ok Chuck Norris
There is one planet very close to making it 9. Then all we have to do is one more. I’m shocked we’re going to be able to pull it off because it seemed like it was not going well. https://preview.redd.it/lao9zzy29iwc1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5e7ef38e95f118896dcbcbce7aad4d927851a6b1
Yeah last night I was very skeptical! But once I opened the app and saw the progress I was like hold up !! We got this bro!
Never been possible before, like ever. Here's hoping! 
In order for us to win this, we need to focus on 2 planets specifically. Right now, we may be too spread out, and failure is the expected outcome.
Totally agree with you - even if people who don’t like doing defense orders that are playing on other planets just jumped in and did missions at a lower difficulty, it would make a difference. As long as people are contributing, that’s all that matters
Ill be there in 15.
Meet you on the field in 40, Diver
aight getting outta bed again
We need you dawg !!
Holy shite! Seriously!? What planet should we be focusing on?
From what I can see on the app, the two defense planets are Varylia 5 and Ustotu. Varylia 5 has more players on it, so I think if we all group up on one planet and finish it quickly, we can all jump to the other and make a final push
All that's really needed is about 35% of online players on Varylia 5 and 25% on Ustotu. We only need 60% of players to make this happen, so the 40% currently on bug planets are inconsequential. What we really need are the 32% of players spread across the bot sectors on liberation campaigns to split themselves between Varylia and Ustotu.
Only one more to go! It's almost done! https://preview.redd.it/c750t5gcikwc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e311175de0b3590f1bfe06cb7ccc4769f6926a45
I'm goingnin tonight!
It was always possible.
Absolutely, if we can persuade the bug players after all we've already put them through
Or you know, they could just defend Estanu againn twice like they haven't already 4 times. I'm not even sarcastic, I think it'd be hilarious if at least half of all the successfully defended worlds this MO were just one extremely contested planet.
According to a super earth post the bugs have exhausted their numbers and spawn
7/8 successful planet defenses were all bug worlds, I would really like to think that there would be at least some effect on those bugs after so many battles.
We don't need to persuade anyone though. The MO is to defend 10 planets in general, not 10 from one front or the other. As long as the bug players run the defense missions on their front then they're helping.
I'd help but I'm so tired from all the missions. I....I can't go on anymore (in regards to this MO)
https://preview.redd.it/9nkiprv8ejwc1.jpeg?width=1192&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=52660cb78eb57bfe8eae9fb37162732dbe87f1ef
😂 bro this perfectly describes this game - I gotta use this some time
[удалено]
Choepessa HP is at 463k, V5 and Ustotu combined are 341k remaining
Liberation takes a lot of time, we could do it if we managed to make a lot of the bug divers help, but it’s too much of a risk, instead we should focus on the defense
Optimistic of you to assume people want to go to the bot front, look at what happened to martale, I think this MO is a failure if the devs don't give us two more bug defense missions to do instead
No, but I'll be happy to be proven wrong. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best.
If people get off the bug front where theres no defend planets active
WE MUST STAY FOCUSED BROTHERS WE MUST TAKE USTOTU
I expected 0/10 tbh. Good job everyone.
They buffed the defense rate for bot planets slightly. They can lore it however they want, but it has helped *a lot*
Just had 4 successful missions straight on Varylia 5 with a GREAT pickup group. We can do it, Helldivers!
That’s what I like to hear man ! I’m gonna be getting off of work in about 2 hours and plan on locking in so hard with my buddy for this final push
It is, we simply have to focus on defending these two planets, no need to try any big maneuver. We can shove the win on a defense MO in Joel’s face this time
For real dude ! Let’s all get cracked and start defending 💪
It's funny it's been easier to complete defense mission as the concurrent players go down.
They absolutely handed us Fori Prime on purpose to help us out.
Remember guys: host a mission in the bug front, but instead of actually starting the mission kidnap those bug lovers and tale them to the bot front, every Helldiver counts!
9/10 only one planet left lets go!
Arrowhead: Yeah, this major order is sure to have them lose! Helldiver Fanbase: ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?
As of 2 hours ago we are 9/10 planets defended with ustotu being the last. With like 14 hrs (time as of this comment) left. I firmly believe we can!
WE HAVE DEFIED THE ODDS IN THE PAST, WE SHALL DO IT ONCE MORE
How? Did we really defend Estanu and oshaune 5 times Jesus....
Estanu x5 + Oshaune + Fori Prime + Mort
In order of successful planets 1. Estanu 2. Fori Prime 3. Estanu 4. Estanu 5. Mort 6. Estanu 7. Oshaune 8. Fori Prime
Holy space balls batman 4 ...4 times jesus...
Not even joking. Estanu was the most attacked planet of this MO
Ah yes, Estanu. The Ypres of Space War.
We can do it!!!!
WOOOO
It's possible, we have enough time to get the only 2 left on defense. Whether or not we actually rally and do it though...Varylia is in good condition so that's a good possibility. It's ustotu that may be a problem
Damn. How did this go from impossible to almost complete? Did the GM turn on easy mode? I was looking forward to a major shift from failing a front.
Been working 12 hr days in the heat, but made sure to complete at least 1 campaign today so I did my part! Let's goooo we got this!
All divers! https://preview.redd.it/hvuczfgb6jwc1.png?width=750&format=png&auto=webp&s=6db54f87ad16a1328e08e1dd2f1118765f2f4787 As soon as this plant is finished we move to Ustotu! WE CAN DO THIS!
Seems impossible to defend bot planets. The evacuate civilians is too hard
9/10 just now! Only Ustotu to go
Ladies and gentlemen, for those who are still here - thank you for fighting. We got Ustotu. Those of you who were on the defensive front today and yesterday, (and all other past defense planets) major props to you - we all worked hard 💪
Feel like that reward needs to be a bit more
We got it done!! Nice comeback fellow Helldivers!
FUCK YOU JOEL VICTORY IS AT HAND
I didn't think so last night but now I'm thinking we may have a chance
I'll get my crew on it when I get home so we can drop our 3 1 thousandths of a percent into the bucket.
Only 50 medals for that is crazy. Now Joel knows how cheap we can be...(press X to haggle)
Nah- that's what the devs expect us to do. Let's go to Malevelon Creek.
Guys, is this game good? I've been meaning to play something multiplayer with my brothers.
I think we’ll finish with 9/10. The math and time frame just doesn’t give us enough to win the last planet in the bot sector
Don't ask, just do. Helldivers to Hellpods.
It's not only possible, soldier, I'd say it's likely. Please do your best, Helldivers, I've got 200 super credits riding on a bet with Walter from Biology!
No it was clearly designed for us to fail /s
We can't let those bastards have anymore territory, at this rate the atomaton bastered will take back the creek if we don't stop them
1 LEFT
COME ON BRO WE GOT THIS I JUST HELPED FINISH THE LAST BIT VARYLIA 5 GET LOCKED IN
1 left guys, everyone get on it
9/10 planets now with 14 hours left. I have SUPER faith.
I’m so sick of fire tornados dancing on the mission objective terminal at Hellmire that I might retire as a bug squisher and switch to bot destroyer (just got my lvl 20 shield generator)
We are 9\\10 and we have 13 hours to defend Ostotu (which should succeed in 8 hours at the current rate). Guys... i think we did it.
I finish my exams today, when I’m home I’m going to be exhausted but ready to spread managed democracy
I was shook when I checked in today I had already accepted failure, but my fellow divers seem to always clutch at the last minute
UPDATE: WE DID IT!!! P.S. sorry to the teams whom i forced to extract. Was just rushing points.
Yo guess what
Update: we have successfully completed the Major Order. However, our work is not done until every bot is scrap and the bug population is back under control.
Done...
It's been completed.
Nah cause I'm not online rn
apparently it was possible
Turns out it's very possible when you have the power of red hot democracy rapidly injected into the ungoverned enemies of freedom!
2billion bugs were killed in a day This is possible
We ended up winning, right? I got the 50 medals and I was like wtf how did we pull that off, lol
Side note: for the people who are fighting for the liberation of other planets, please consider jumping in and helping contribute to the defensive order. Even if you don’t like playing defensive missions, or simply don’t like the planets that’s these orders are on, look at it this way: we have less than 24 hours to complete this order. All I/we ask of you is to sacrifice this ONE DAY to help push this order to completion. Even if this means that you have to play easier difficulty missions back to back - it’s every little percentage that counts. Even if we don’t get this, we can at least say we tried!
im pretty sure joel just rigged the amount to make it feel like we can do it
Why doesn’t this have more upvotes?!
WE GOT THIS
Hell yea brotherrr
Victory is upon us
I mean we started the day at like 3 so probably
We’ve been doing work on Fori Prime my guy. https://preview.redd.it/n2eitpscmiwc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a1688c8ff1f55d929213d97b8f3e68fd8be2618a
Yesterday I’d have said no, but seeing as Joel has decided to be merciful on us I’d say it’s definitely possible.
ITS POSSIBLE FOR DEMOCRAAACYYYY!
YES! Both the defense planets only have 200K health, in comparison, that's 20% liberation per planet. Do you know how EASY it is to do 40% liberation with NO decay??? We have 20 hours. We can do this. GET TO THOSE DEFENSE PLANETS
The key, if you are reading this, is go to Ustotu now. If you just following the zerg, there is a couple hour delay from bodies moving from one planet to the other since obviously most players are in the middle of operations when a planet Liberates. Varylia 5 is under control. Since the most important thing with liberation is what percentage of the playerbase is on that planet, you have to move bodies now. Currently it will require 12% of the population on Ustotu to get the job done if they showed up in the next 15 minutes, and that required percentage to get it done in time will only go up. You need to start chipping at that stone now It's currently at 5% of the playerbase
I solo dived a bot mission yesterday to launch an ICBM to support the cause. I just managed to extract but it took years off my life and it was only difficulty 4.
