You need to complete the whole set of missions in an operation and Emergency Evacuation is pretty much always present in defense missions. Enemy spawn rates are raised to the point the evacuation area for civilians will get overrun from the constant reinforcements showing up. People are now intentionally drawing aggro as far away as possible while one diver loops around and does the objective with little to no opposition since the other divers are causing so much commotion.

Generally, you want a combination of the following: ICBM, Retrieve Valuable Data, Eradicate, Enable E-710 Extraction (Terminids), Sabotage Air Base (Automatons). I see a fair share of wanted help/SOS beacons with Blitz: Search and Destroys since they are running out of time, Emergency Evacuation and Geological Surveys since they weren't pacing the forced alarms and trying to get the objective done while being overwhelmed.

Every primary (or secondary) option that gives me a tool against the armored heavies, is an option that makes the "less powerful" support weapons more valid.

As long as EAT, Recoilless and similar big guns are "necessary" to quickly take out chargers and hulks, it won't be possible to justify the machine guns.

Stalwart and the other machine guns will always be viable for crowd control. Some players intentionally run Stalwart with EAT-ITs to cover both cc and anti-armor

Superior Packing Methodolgy - 150c/150r/15s/20k req - Resupply boxes refill support weapon ammo to the max.
Atmospheric Monitoring - 200c/150r/15s/25k req - Reduces spread of Orbital 380/120 barrage by 15%
XXL Weapons Bay - 150c/150r/15s/25k req - Eagle Strikes that drop multiple bombs (airstrike, cluster bomb, napalm strike, smoke strike) will drop one additional bomb during the strike.
Enhanced Combustion - 200/150/15/25k - Fire damage from flamethrower, incendiary mines, napalm strike increased by 25%
Circuit Expansion - 200/150/20/20k - Lightning arcs, fired from arc thrower and tesla tower jump to one additional enemy.
Blast Absorption - 150/150/20/25k - Sentries take 50% less damage from explosives.

Need 290 warbonds from start to finish to unlock the grenade pistol lol

I'll be looking forward to the extra airstrike bomb first since I don't run support weapons with backpacks. Going from empty recoilless/autocannon to full off one box sounds awesome though.

Correct, don't do defense planets (planets with timers) if you're trying to unlock difficulties. Run through liberate planets (no timer, just liberate percentage) if you want to unlock difficulties or wait for the weekend and I'll be able to run you through everything.

Why not

We'll be lucky to get 4, but it's to open up another 20-25 planets depending on what gets defended.

250 medals, 50k req slips, 500 common, 250 rare, 100 supers are all the caps iirc. I haven't been playing for rares or supers much once I got the current final ship upgrade. Buddy wants to run harder difficulties to get his ship upgraded early Thursday so I'll have fun with that.

Getting close to the medal cap and wanting to keep medals for the new warbond has been a little hectic as I get closer to finishing the last premium bundle. Really want that groundbreaker helmet.

Depends on the difficulty, the map, and the terrain. I can solo 7s with ease with pretty early stratagems.

Helldivers
Metroid
Halo

Hoping war one ends before the next stratagem drop so war two can open up with Illuminates.

I have two Purple pillows that were like $50 each iirc.

Up 13 with 8 to play. Iowa having a case of the struggle stripe at the free throw line isn't helping.

RB might go with Lawson for the Chinese GP.

Williams might have two new drivers at this rate for next year.

Major Order with enough time to go through a weekend and the faction can't do anything with defense missions is pretty much an automatic win. Bring on the Illuminates or the surprise nukes to the regen pool to make things interesting with Durgen.

Hoping Yuki scores points on his home race.

New warbond trailer with release next Thursday. Grenade Pistol will go so well with Stun grenades.

Aerial gunships are on the way and cloaked illuminate ships are chilling in the background. I'm expecting illuminates to be released as soon as we have 1 faction pushed to their homeworld sector where fighting on three fronts will have Joel tick down the reinforcement regeneration and/or have the progress tick up since it was at 13% for 250k players earlier.

Chuckled at liberate Malevelon Creek major immediately into a defend Malevelon Creek, Ubanea, and Draupnir major.

Not even on my radar until it's under $25. Will sink a ton of hours in franchise and CFB dynasty when they're both available.

Never heard of Marble Slab.

I haven't had a thing I didn't like from Firehouse Subs

I see people saying the Quasar is OP but I don't see it

On higher difficulties with multiple elites on you the CD time will get you killed

You still have 3 other stratagems for offense along with other divers sets. It rewards the player with killing elites every 30 seconds if they can stay alive versus calling down EAT-ITs every 90/120 seconds depending on the call down and cool down banes at higher difficulties. Recoiless Rockets with team reload are a faster option for taking out multiple heavies/elites with a singular stratagem, but costs a backpack slot.

Expected Bag Raiders and got it

Quasar with stuns feels broken lol

TC has been a gem with all these giveaways

Quasar is pretty much 4 EAT-ITs for one EAT-IT calldown. Going to be using it a lot.

Read any books lately?

I don't delete it. Just let it drift to the end of the last page.

What is your game of the year so far?
What did you have for lunch?

Yes

Lunch at grandma's with the rest of the family. Probably going to be an emotional day since grandpa passed away last week.

Hey new patch, maybe now I can play again.

You could always play. You just refused to host and check loadouts...

Yeah, I loved how the rest of the town reacted to it. I'm getting close to Winter and should have the green house before the end of the year 1.

I'm logging on daily to do the personal orders and getting a laugh at the lower levels joining up on me and asking why I don't ramp up the difficulty since I'm level 50 and have every weapon unlocked. I think I still have like 1k medals to unlock everything from all 3 passes.

Most recent ex told me she loved and cared about me then ghosted me and our entire friend group to the point they asked me what happened since nobody could get in contact with her. I let her dad know what was going on since he still sees me as a son.

Previous ex called me a racial slur and I immediately broke up with her.

First ex cheated on me so I left.

Not really on good terms.

Clemson Baylor has been a very fun second half.

Have a question about the community orders - is it that you just have to participate in like one mission or operation to earn the medals if the overall order is fulfilled? Or is there some other minimum contribution level you have to reach?

As long as your account was active before the order started, you get the medals on a successful order. People have been away and got medals for a previous order.

Double points for Haas!!! Let's go!!!

Max having a fire and having to retire early since brakes and tire melted

lmfao at that Sparty airball

Max takes pole again in qualifying. Another probable win for Red Bull along with Tsunoda getting to Q3.

Each gun, enemy, and stratagem had a little blurb about it's history. It had a running ticker that had enemy information about the war. When a new war began, you would read a blurb that explained why the war started with that faction.

I find it strange as hell that a game that amounts to endlessly killing bugs and robots has such extensive lore.

The first game had even more lore.

Helldivers don't have time for sex. If you're not on the frontlines, you're in cryo.

The reddit and discord have it covered. You could always host and kick people if they use it that way it doesn't waste your time.
