I'm sure this has probably been requested/suggested before, but on top of the daily Personal Orders, I would LOVE the addition of more challenging weekly orders. Still separate from the MOs like the daily orders. The weekly challenges could be much more difficult or time consuming to complete, but offer a small amount of SC as a reward, instead of medals.

Complete 20 (or whatever amount) full operations on D4 (or whatever diff) or higher

Eliminate 10k voteless/troopers/scavengers

Destroy 500 enemy spawners

Assisted-reload a team mate 50 times

Complete full operations on 10 different planets

Spend X amount of time airborne using the jump pack or hover pack

Cover X kilometers

Idk, there would be plenty of options for longer challenges, and I would happily accept them!

Had an out of body experience the other night while I was farming some rare samples. No idea why it happened, but I had to just stand around until I died. Dropping back in corrected the issue and I was able to continue and complete my mission. Got a good laugh out of it though!!

I was just running some missions a couple nights ago, and as I was about to hop in my Hellpod, I happened to glance out the window of my destroyer. I witnessed another random destroyer in orbit, as it exploded and blew up right in front of me!! Wtf?! I definitely did not know that was a thing! Very un-Democratic! There's no way I'm the only one that has seen this happen. Is there any specific reason for this? I recorded a clip of it, but can't get it to download so I can post it. I promise it happened though.

Edit: Got it downloaded!

With the influx of new divers with this update, and with HD2 being added to PS+ library, I am calling upon Glazedivers to drop in on SOS beacons with low level divers! Let's get in there and back the greenhorns up, and show them the ropes. Help teach them about HD2, strategies, weapons, enemies etc, and just show them a good time in general. Help them gather samples and show them where to look for them. Let them try out some of your support weapons, vehicles and whatnot. The better time they have, the more likely they stick around and help the spread of Managed Democracy!

Please feel free to post your friend codes here, whether you are a new diver or a veteran (I'll post mine when I get home from work and generate a new one)! When Democracy comes together, not even the strongest enemies of Super Earth stand a chance. O7

On the bug front, we have those pesky Stalkers that can cloak.

For the bot front, I would love to see a new enemy type, somewhat akin to the assassin droid from Star Wars (design wise) that has the ability to cloak, similar to the Stalkers. Maybe have a new type of fabricator specifically for them, and have it behave like the Stalkers, where the fab can spawn as a random outpost that you have to destroy in order to stop them from spawning.

Would anyone else be down for something like this?

Running some squid missions last night with a squad of Blueberries, and it got me thinking. They should be able to hit the other button to open bunkers with us!! If I have a squad, or even a single Blueberry, that is in "follow me" mode, it would be pretty dope to be able to ping the other button and have them hit it for me. That is all. Helldiver out O7

With the level cap being raised, and levels being awarded for xp that was banked after hitting level 150, I'm curious what your new levels are at! I'm only level 72, so it didn't do anything for me, but I really want to see what the veterans jumped up to.

Is anyone level 300 already? Let us see those numbers, Glazedivers!

Greetings, fellow Glazedivers! Democracy needs YOU!!

As our numbers grow, so too does the need for Managed Democracy, in the form of moderators. To help combat the scourge of Super Earth enemies, we are issuing an open call for a few new moderators to help keep this sub a space for all Glazedivers to enjoy and share their love for Democracy!!

Are you a frequent visitor to this sub? Do you have some free time throughout the day? Would you like to join our team and help us keep the enemies of Super Earth at bay?

If so, please let us know in the comments, why you would like to be a moderator, and a little tidbit about how dedicated to the cause you are! We aren't asking for a lot, but we need a few more dedicated Glazedivers to assist with keeping up with post/comment approval. If you can blast through Stratagem Hero, you can absolutely handle the tasks we are looking for help with.

We look forward to hearing from you. Democracy prevails!!

I finally grabbed the Exo Experts warbond a couple days ago! Just wanted to show this one some love, since it is new to me.

The light armor with the Oxygenator passive is my new favorite armor, by far! I feel like I'm moving at warp speed! I used to primarily run the Light Gunner armor, but I haven't switched off of the Free Spirit armor since I unlocked it. I don't usually like running heavy armor, but I'll definitely try the Heavy Operator armor sometime soon. With it having the Oxygenator passive, I might actually like using it.

The Bullet Storm is just insane, and I get 2 of them every time I call for it! I've been having a blast running full-expendable load outs! I need to get the Leveller now, so I can run that one too, but even with the expendables that I currently have unlocked, those missions have been pretty damn fun.

The Missile Pistol is pretty sweet, but I feel like I'm using it wrong? It says it is anti-tank, but it doesn't feel like it is, Lol! I have been 1-shotting gunships and the smaller strider walkers, but it's taking 3 shots to take out bot fabricators, and a couple shots for Hulks even when I hit the heat sink on their back. What am I doing wrong here?

I did unlock both of the mechs, but I haven't actually used them yet. I'm planning on trying them out tonight, and expecting to have a blast with both of them. They look really fun to use, for sure!

This is now my 9th war bond, so I still have quite a few to get, but this Exo Experts is definitely one of my favorite so far, and I just barely started messing around with it!

How do you guys find Bile Titans easily? The other day, I had the Personal Order to kill 5 of them. I ran 4 or 5 missions on Extreme difficulty to try to knock it out, but I did not see a single one during those missions. I didn't have any missions with killing them as the main objective, so I was just running random missions, with no luck. Now I'm curious if I was on the wrong difficulty (wiki says they start spawning on D4 though), the wrong planet, or just had bad luck? That is the only daily challenge that I've missed out on in quite a while, so I'm trying to figure out what I was doing wrong, Lol!

I would love a new booster that extends the overall mission time limit, maybe from 40 min to maybe 50-60 min. It's not that I need the extra time to complete the missions, per se, but it would be nice to be able to spend a little more time slow-rolling objectives from a distance with my Marksman Rifles, and still have time to scour every location for the samples. I just love finding elevation outside of outposts and picking all of the enemies off with the Hyena, but it ends up eating a big chunk of my 40 minutes, and I find myself short on time at the end. Even 5 or 10 extra minutes would be quite useful!

I would love to see more variety with the Personal Orders. They could even include challenges with warbond items, and just make them available to everyone for 24 hours for those that don't have the item unlocked yet. It always seems like the same 8-10 that cycle, but I would love some new ones!

A few of my ideas:

• Destroy X amount of spawners (faction-specific for each challenge, so this would be 3 separate new ones)
• Fire X amount of bullets in a single mission
• Kill X amount of enemies with grenades/throwables
• Drive/cover X distance in a single mission
• Get X amount of kills with (insert wardbond weapon here)
• Ignite X amount of enemies with fire damage
• Confuse X amount of enemies with gas
• Complete X amount of missions (any difficulty) without bringing any stratagems

I don't know... I just feel like there are a bunch of fun/goofy scenarios they could cook up for some new Personal Orders. I would definitely enjoy it!

I'm sure you guys can come up with plenty to add to this list, too!

Patch notes for today! Looks like voice chat should be fixed, as well as the FRV skins causing crashing. A couple other fixes as well.

First off, I absolutely LOVE that we can use the commands to bring SEAF soldiers with us to help in the fight!

Imagine though, if we could trade weapons with them like we can with UNSC Marines on Halo. A Blueberry storming the frontlines with a.... Quasar Cannon or RR??? Clearing bot drops with an Eruptor?? Clearing hordes with a Bullet Storm or Stalwart?? This would be an incredibly fun update to give SEAF soldiers just a little more utilization!

I would love to see a new stratagem: Orbital Gravity Well

I was definitely inspired by one of the powers you can get on Starfield, but on a larger scale. This stratagem would send down an advanced tech device that pops out an incredibly intense well of gravity, pulling all enemies and anything that isn't bolted down, into the center, crushing them to death with the sheer force of gravity. The AoE would have to be somewhat small (maybe 20-25m?), and have a lengthy cool down (180-240 seconds or so?), so as not to be too terribly powerful imo, but I would definitely get a good laugh watching the enemies of SE get pulled into it and crushed into oblivion!! Also, it wouldn't be large enough for massive enemies, but could work on chaff and heavies.

I really wish I was good with photoshop or knew how to make little videos so I could include some visuals! If you want to get an idea of what I'm talking about, you can look up the Gravity Well power from Starfield.

I feel like it would be fun to mess around with, and would be quite different from the existing stratagems at our disposal. I think it would also fit in with the lore for HD2? If I remember correctly, SE used that dark fluid stuff to collapse a planet (can't remember which one) in the early days after the Terminids first broke out? The stratagem could also utilize the dark fluid, just stopping short of actually creating a singularity.

I am curious as to how you all go about using your Eagle stratagems. Do you bring multiple on a mission, or just one per mission?

I have tried both ways, and I genuinely prefer to just bring one with me, instead of multiple. I almost always bring the 500kg, mostly for destroying light outposts, jammers, fabricators/holes/warp ships. I have tried bringing 2 or 3 Eagles with me a few times, but I always end up finding myself sitting there with both of my 500kg used up, but I still have multiple uses on the other ones so I don't want to use the rearm.

I prefer to just have my 500kg cool down as soon as I call in the 2nd one. It has a pretty short CD with the ship upgrades, so I feel like I always have it available when it is the only one I bring. When I bring at least one more, I just find myself wishing I had my 500 ready to go, instead of the Airstrike/Strafing run, or whichever other one I brought.

I did try a mission with ONLY Eagle stratagems once, and that was actually pretty fun, but I definitely prefer having other strats to even things out.

I usually end up going with the 500kg, 1 or 2 orbitals, and 1 or 2 support (weapon and backpack, usually), depending on what mission I am running. There are plenty of times where I just completely mix it up and bring other stuff, like all Sentries for defense missions and whatnot, but that is my usual mix. Just curious how you all utilize the Eagle stratagems.

Took me a while to realize the mechanic of the new automated turret on this thing and thought I'd share in case you're like me.

The liberator turret on top is fully automated and is very similar (if not identical?) to the armed resupply pod turret. It will automatically target nearby enemies even without anyone inside of it which makes it great for fire support while solo diving. However, it will run out of ammo, that's why it stopped shooting! Seems like maybe 60-120 rounds since it looks like it has 2 drum mags attached to it.

To reload it, there is a "reload" button on the outside of the FRV on each side of the FRV right behind the rear wheels. Every reload will draw from the same ammo pool of resupplies that players can resupply out of. I didn't count, but I think there are 8 resupplies? There is the little status bar above the resupply packs to give you a visual indication of how close you are to running out of resupplies.

Depending on how you use it, I think it may be better to use the resupplies to keep the gun up and running if you're solo diving. If you're solo diving, you can usually use POIs to keep yourself topped off while using the resupplies in the FRV to give yourself a little bit more automated fire support.

Hope it helps, happy diving.

How do you guys build your kit for squids?

With this new MO, I guess it's time for me to finally figure out squids. I have admittedly NOT done very much squid diving, so I don't really know what is good and effective against them. I'm not very familiar with them as a faction, but I feel like crowd control is a MUST.

My Purifier is almost max level, so that will be my primary until it's maxed, but then I'm open to any suggestions for primary! I've been running the Talon as my secondary for the last few days, since I just got it.

I have all the base stratagems unlocked, along with most of the free warbond stuff. I also have Democratic Detonation, Polar Patriots, Chemical Agents, Servants of Freedom, Borderline Justice, Control Group and Dust Devils warbonds, so I can work with anything from those as well.

My idea for stratagems was maybe Stalwart and Guard Dog, with the Tesla Tower (I do know to place them away from fellow Helldivers!) and either 500kg or Gatling Barrage, but I don't know how effective that would be. Maybe Arc Thrower instead of Stalwart? Are fire weapons as effective against squids, as they are against bugs?

I haven't done much against squids so far, but I kind of view them as bug-adjacent, with the sheer numbers. I'm primarily a bot diver. Open to any suggestions and truly appreciate any advice for this faction!

This was the last achievement that I needed. I had been putting it off, because I thought that I would need a full squad to coordinate to be able to get it. Boy, was I wrong!! Decided to give it a try on Saturday, and got it with over a minute to spare, solo. I thought I needed to clear the full map, but I decided to just try taking out the 7 fabricators and then extract, and it actually worked!

I just brought the Quasar Cannon so I could pip a couple fabs from a distance. Landed right outside the heavy outpost and dropped an orbital laser on it right off the bat. Clonked a fab at a distant light outpost as I made my way to the next one. A couple 500kgs and Quasar shots later, I was waiting for extract. Super easy! Now I feel silly for putting it off, Lol!

Why in the world are there over 25k people diving on Brilliance for no reason, and only 13k on Omicron working on the MO??? I don't get it. I need those 50 warbond medals!!! Even the DSS voting is massively in favor of staying at Brilliance, instead of moving to Omicron to help finish the MO in time. I don't understand...
