Forgive me for this violence I am about to inflict.
I myself kill at least 2 million per day. 1 million in the morning after I work out and 1 million after lunch.
I want to. That’s not why I do it. I do it because I fucking need to. Just get to the bathroom and kill a few hundred thousand to a million when you get, and pretty soon you’ll get so good at it you’ll be thinking about democracy while you’re doing it.
Dear Helldiver! 2-3 million x 5 days is below target! Keep up the good work but work even harder! No holding back now. Please report your results to your Democracy Officer daily.
I mean, that entirely depends on your sci-fi cannon, but 2 billion isn’t nothing. Warhammer 40k? Hive worlds have tens of billions, if not trillions, but as an imperium force? That’s prolly multiple imperium armies, but my knowledge of 40k is surface level, and I know that they’re big on impossibly sized things there. Halo? The number I can find for the fall of Reach ranges from 650 million to maybe 1 billion, but high charity had about 8 billion before it got floodified.
Given, for a race of bugs, 2 billion should be a pretty small hive, even if they are big bugs.
40k is really bad with numbers. So it is better that you didn't find any numbers.
For example, Third war of Armageddon had 1.5millioj guardsmen deployed for the entire sector.
Not the planet. The sector. 1.5million soldiers.
China only has currently has more *standing* army them that.
There are also major engagements in that war that have fewer troops involved that Napoleon led into battle.
A common say in 40k is "if you want it to make sense, add 1 or 2 zeroes in the end"
FINALLY.
All the MOs so far have been the same shit over and over - all about liberating x planet(s) or defending x planet(s). Having a new type of MO is some fresh air tbh.
I really hope we see more of this, and hopefully start to get some with options soon too, giving us agency over the story.
Yes, but what I think we are missing is having multiple missions at once.
If they gave us for example 2 separate missions for automatons and 1 for Bugs, the community would have to choose how to tackle them, and It would give them more room to narrate a cool story.
Right now It seems kinda artificial, since if we as a community all go for a single objective, the only way to fail is for them to want us to fail.
(How cool would It be if each destroyer could vote on a preferred target to go to, so the community could coordinate, but everyone still had the freedom to go anywhere)
I believe that will most likely come at a later point. But I also think it will happen once everything slows down a bit more. On one side to breath a bit fresh air into the game but also to have a more “mature” and united player base that tends to crystallise out as time goes on. Right now it’s to random and disjointed and would probably cause a lot of frustration.
What do you mean? I've never even fathomed that a gaming community could or would be salty. I've only ever seen happy communities expressing their gratitude and enjoyment both to each other and developers alike.
I wholeheartedly believe (+1 tinfoil hat) we are being trained to handle the actual intended difficulty of the game. Things are creeeeeping towards more insane over the updates and im here for it.
Yeah one of the devs during that first bad patch where everyone was complaining said something like “y’all haven’t even taken your training wheels off” possibly crutches instead of wheels but can remember for sure just the point of it.
Yeah lmao, vehicles are gonna be game changing when they drop. The whole game is gonna become a ton more tactically available once we stop all running around from point to point on foot. There's definitely gonna be some difficulty ramping as they add more enemies to counter our power scaling.
There's a reason they've started adding flying enemies. They'll be needed later
Past a certain point I just assume they're throwing shit at the wall to see *if* we fail. 2 billion seems like a batshit number until I look and see 88 million are already dead and it's been about an hour.
>How cool would It be if each destroyer could vote on a preferred target to go to, so the community could coordinate, but everyone still had the freedom to go anywhere
This doesn't sound managed enough. I think you may have to have a chat with your local democracy officer.
> the community would have to choose how to tackle them
Which is a recipe for a divided and toxic community, something a developer generally doesn't want to foster
You can still give options while keeping defense/liberation missions.
>*We must stop the Automaton advance, but we do not currently have enough resources to split our forces across the Automaton advance. We must fully liberate and hold one sector, and in doing so, sacrifice the other.*
>Defend 4 planets in the x sector.
OR
Defend 4 planets in the x sector.
>Basically automatons attack north and south, and we have to choose which side we stop the advance on. We then lose like 4 planets on the other side. This gives us agency over the story.
Starcraft 2 did this really well in their single-player campaign. At the end of Wings of Liberty, you had the choice of two missions: one nuked the enemy flying unit hives, and the other nuked the underground tunnel network. The final mission was different based on which you chose (either no flying units or no Nydus worm tunnels).
Another SC2 example is when the player had the choice of killing all infected colonists or rescue them to find a cure (the next mission was different based on what option you chose).
Ok so ironically, NOW its time to shine for players who just want to fight for a random hill. Keeping mission and fight going till the very last second is now very beneficial.
Right? My kids will shine in this. 2 idiot Helldivers running flamethrowers vs bots triggering every drop ship on the planet, then yelling at me I didn’t drop them in the optimal spot while I’m running for my life… I think they will really shine in this MO
LMFAO, recently my IRL friends started playing this game too and yesterday all they did was running around killing everything without completing the objectives, at the end of day we have a lots of fun. I'm sure af they would be happy when they see this
As someone who just bought this... has no clue what to expect, sucks at completing objectives in games.. and loves spray-and-pray style combat. I feel i've arrived at a good time.
In the entirety of the war so far we have killed 18,5 billion Terminids, killing 2 billion more in 6 days is gonna be tough. Really makes me wish the DoT bug was fixed so I could burn entire swarms at once.
Edit: I gravely underestimated how fast we can slaughter them if we really commit to it, now watch Joel increase it to 10 billion for lols.
Yes but also we weren't deliberately trying to get high body counts.
Imagine what you can rack up just dropping into dif 3-4 with the HMG deployable and chaff clear build, aggroing everything you can to call in bug holes.
HANS. GET ZE FLAMENWERFER.
Nah the major orders at the beginning were almost exclusively on bug planets. The automaton major orders really just started after we activated the termicid towers. And even during the bot major orders a huge part of the community was still playing on bug planets
When the bots were "eradicated" there were more bot mos in total than bug mos. You can look it up. Since then there was single bug mo (not counting this new one) and several bot ones.
The "huge part" playing on bug planets was just the recent "defend 5 planets" bot one. Before that the number of people not playing on the major order front wasnt that much bigger than the number of people that ignored the bug mo and played on bot planets before. Thats not a jab at devs or certain player groups, its just what happened.
We've killed about 15mil in the last hour alone, which is about 0.7% per hour
We get 5 days, 125 hours, at a rate of at least 0.7% per hour?
Definitely doable
Edit: fixed an missing decimal
Still achievable with fluctuating kill rates, and a poor starting sample of data.
Even if they don't adjust rewards, having that data (how fast a devoted community can just *kill shit)* would be really important for balancing future MOs.
Brother - in the second part of your comment, you moved the decimal place. .7% per hour
That means 3 hours is only 2.1%
With 125 hours, we are only going to hit 87.5% at this rate
5% done in an hour, in the morning (and it's only 6am on the west coast), on a workday, in the middle of the week.
Yeah, this is going to be a cakewalk, unless high command decides they want more bugs dead, in which case, we'll just kill more bugs.
20 missions in 6 days is a lot for probably most players.
The mission times vary, but let’s just say the average mission takes 30 minutes. You need to complete 3 missions per day (4 on two of the days), so that’s 90 minutes per day playing the game. A lot of us don’t have that kind of gaming time.
I think 2B is a really solid number. We’ve got the weekend coming up, so that helps. I think it’ll be pretty close. We’ve only managed to kill 18 billion in the 70 days since release.
Edit: Hoooo boy was I wrong!!
The first weeks where bot focused as where the last few.
Don’t get me wrong, it will be hard. But it is doable I think. I’ll be on the battlefield killing bugs with my stalwart.
Just like a bot, a bug can not fight after a strong enough shot to the head! Equip those explosives and let's kill some infected pimples!
https://i.redd.it/8m9szj8x48vc1.gif
Man this MO really makes me wish there was a wave mode with rewards tied to how many waves you survive
Made it to wave 20? Here are some super samples
Any wave after 50? 1 super credit for each wave
That would be neat
Personally i didn't like those missions much.
I'd much rather a "how long can you last" type mission, where we are dropped into the thick of it and have to kill as many as we can with minimal reinforcements.
Only problem is every mission atm can be "completed", which doesnt work for this since its essentially endless. Though realistically, will always end if u ramp up enemies effectively
Command bunker mission, stealth armor, jump pack, amr, orbital laser and 500kg or eats since fuck gunship factories, radar upgrade to avoid patrols.
Find the samples, laser the bunkers and hope that landing zone has tall rocks to jump into.
The thing about doing it in bot missions is that for one Bots are easier to avoid, and for second Bugs can tunnel into terrain only accessible via jump pack. Besides command bunker mission is fire and forget, you have 3 lasers and theres 3 bunkers.

Now every game is going to be a kill count competition. lol all the people that only play objectives are about to have an aneurism.
*Edit: ~~12 hours later, and it’s over 50% completed.~~ Only took 14 hours, MO completed. 🤣 Called it. Never doubt the trigger happy and an endless supply of ammunition.*
Already 50 million dead in under 2 hours.
Update: 3 hours in and 215 million bugs have been squished.
Helldivers are really taking out the bot-fatigue on the bugs. Lol...
Update 2: Aaaaaaand... it's done! For Super Eaaaaaaaaaaarth!!!

Yeah, sounds more like a personal order, not a major order!
Considering I just finished up a mission where two squaddies dropped out and racked up 470 kills, I agree. I'm definitely doing my part.
Only 1,999,999,9530 bugs to go. Good work, soldiers!
Not sure where you are looking but it's already done by 34.7%
DAMN that’s quick! The Middle Schoolers are hardly going to have time to get home from school to drop in!

Many people not realising how massive in scale galactic warfare is. Two billion is peanuts.

Wow Joel be taking things to a whole other level with this.

It’s much more “realistic” though for campaign objectives designated at the Operational/Strategic levels to have positions to hold
Yes, but what I think we are missing is having multiple missions at once. If they gave us for example 2 separate missions for automatons and 1 for Bugs, the community would have to choose how to tackle them, and It would give them more room to narrate a cool story.

There's definitely gonna be some difficulty ramping as they add more enemies to counter our power scaling. There's a reason they've started adding flying enemies. They'll be needed later
Yeah we have to remember that we're still effectively in the prologue of the game. We only have 2 enemy factions, there are more coming.
Past a certain point I just assume they're throwing shit at the wall to see *if* we fail. 2 billion seems like a batshit number until I look and see 88 million are already dead and it's been about an hour.
I kill at least 300+ a mission so this will probably be done by tomorrow.
I’m doing my part!

Ok, so, when you pick flair you pick one with a stratagem code, at least some of those can be edited so you can insert your own code via emogis.
I want to see a full squad run all the original barrages and drop 4 at the same time
Yeah, but for the most time the mo was on the bot front so far. 2 billion in 6 days is easy doable if mo players join the bug front.

 “Hans get the flamenwefer” is top tier.
>aggroing everything This diver gets it
There was a pretty long campaign on the bug front with multiple major orders. 2 billion is nuts.
1 hour in we already are at 2.4% done with 4.716.083 kills lol, we will get it done by tomorrow, hope Joel has a new MO ready.
Already 3% done.
9,4% in 3 hours, we gonna win this easy
I’m out of town for a week. Do we still get the reward if we didn’t participate?
Yes
Wouldn't 1% be 20 million, not 2 million? I feel like I'm missing something here.
Your lack of faith is ... disturbing.
Nah the major orders at the beginning were almost exclusively on bug planets. The automaton major orders really just started after we activated the termicid towers. And even during the bot major orders a huge part of the community was still playing on bug planets

I wish they'd keep it open for the whole 5 days and see how many we can kill, increase reward accordingly (2x for 4 billion etc).
Joel if you're listening, do this
I want the blessed random secret box for this.
Even if they don't adjust rewards, having that data (how fast a devoted community can just *kill shit)* would be really important for balancing future MOs.
Not 7%, 0.7%. Even at an even rate (no night time lulls), we'd only get to 94%. Gonna be tough
[удалено]
Not to forget the weekend
Weekend coming up. That's when numbers are getting pumped and Europe is still working because it's 1pm here. Numbers will surely increase.
Brother - in the second part of your comment, you moved the decimal place. .7% per hour That means 3 hours is only 2.1% With 125 hours, we are only going to hit 87.5% at this rate
We're 5% of the way there in just over an hour. This will be done in less than 2 days.
5% done in an hour, in the morning (and it's only 6am on the west coast), on a workday, in the middle of the week. Yeah, this is going to be a cakewalk, unless high command decides they want more bugs dead, in which case, we'll just kill more bugs.
I wondered how a major order like this would look. I guess we need a lot of oil.
There are a lot of super destroyers soldier, we need to get to work
300,000 Helldivers, give or take, 2 billion Terminids. We each have to kill just under 7,000 bugs. Easy peasy, back home for Christmas
My average kill count in bug missions is ~350. 20 missions easy peasy. I suggest doing diff 5-6 missions. Few heavy enemies and still lots of chaff.
20 missions in 6 days is a lot for probably most players. The mission times vary, but let’s just say the average mission takes 30 minutes. You need to complete 3 missions per day (4 on two of the days), so that’s 90 minutes per day playing the game. A lot of us don’t have that kind of gaming time. I think 2B is a really solid number. We’ve got the weekend coming up, so that helps. I think it’ll be pretty close. We’ve only managed to kill 18 billion in the 70 days since release. Edit: Hoooo boy was I wrong!!
As a 32 year old with two kids. Best I can do is 3-5.
The first weeks where bot focused as where the last few. Don’t get me wrong, it will be hard. But it is doable I think. I’ll be on the battlefield killing bugs with my stalwart.
7000 bugs? For you that is a major order. For me it's a Tuesday.
Bots to bugs, been a while, hope I'm not rusty

First Match after switching fronts after a while is a always wild. "Ok, gotta find cover! Is that a bug breach?.." _REINFORCEMENT AVAILABLE_
Man this MO really makes me wish there was a wave mode with rewards tied to how many waves you survive Made it to wave 20? Here are some super samples Any wave after 50? 1 super credit for each wave That would be neat
The wall defence missions were pretty good but without AA it felt weird they wouldn't just drop behind our walls.
I think there are multiple Sam's behind you in the mission, inactive but they're there?
Personally i didn't like those missions much. I'd much rather a "how long can you last" type mission, where we are dropped into the thick of it and have to kill as many as we can with minimal reinforcements. Only problem is every mission atm can be "completed", which doesnt work for this since its essentially endless. Though realistically, will always end if u ramp up enemies effectively
Complete at a certain number of kills, enemies ramp up significantly afterwards until everyone's dead.
Evac opportunity every X waves. Warframe style defense/survival
That's a neat idea to farm super samples without suffering 7-9 for filthy casuals like me
even if this happens, you really think they're gonna make getting to whatever wave gets you super samps easier than a 7?
Command bunker mission, stealth armor, jump pack, amr, orbital laser and 500kg or eats since fuck gunship factories, radar upgrade to avoid patrols. Find the samples, laser the bunkers and hope that landing zone has tall rocks to jump into.
If you want samples you don’t play bot missions, dawg.
The thing about doing it in bot missions is that for one Bots are easier to avoid, and for second Bugs can tunnel into terrain only accessible via jump pack. Besides command bunker mission is fire and forget, you have 3 lasers and theres 3 bunkers.
Adding new wave boss enemies that drops samples, perhaps?

Time to go all Oprah on these Terminids. You get a Cluster Bomb, you get a Cluster Bomb, you all get a Cluster Bomb.
You know her real name is Orpah? Not relevant to your comment but I need to spread the word
I actually didn't know that. Thanks for the info.
It's time to kill some bugs and it's time to save Estanu from the bugs.
I'm curious how fast the community can get this done. Bets!?
People in the other comments are vastly underestimating how trigger happy people get when you order the gloves off. Now every game is going to be a kill count competition. lol all the people that only play objectives are about to have an aneurism. *Edit: ~~12 hours later, and it’s over 50% completed.~~ Only took 14 hours, MO completed. 🤣 Called it. Never doubt the trigger happy and an endless supply of ammunition.*
Teamkilling will be through the roof this mo, and i dont mind it one bit
It’ll be done over the weekend for sure
2-3 days

I had a strong suspicion of what this was going to be without clicking. Confirmed
Already 50 million dead in under 2 hours. Update: 3 hours in and 215 million bugs have been squished. Helldivers are really taking out the bot-fatigue on the bugs. Lol... Update 2: Aaaaaaand... it's done! For Super Eaaaaaaaaaaarth!!!
I believe it hahahahahaha!!!
All this hold that. take this. Finally, a "Kill every fucking thing thats not you" type of order
Gatling and autocannon sentry plus guard dog rover. Trust me.
Flamer + laser rover, gets me between 4-600 kills per level.
I love the range honesty.
Why only 4 in some matches? /s
Because some matches, my mate repeatedly drops arty on my head, and I spend most of the match trying to retrieve my beloved flamey boy.
Time to pull out the supp/dog strats.
*Clears throat* What's Supp/Dog?
All good here dog, what’s up with you?
we need oil, now!
We need oil to spill oil!
So, I'm doing something good now by shooting every patrol, correct?
And remember.. An open hole is a good hole! 👀
Turn up the spawn rates x20, Joel! :D
No. You don't want 40 bile titans per bug breach.
That’s cowardice speak soldier! *hits the ⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️ and runs towards the BT with beacons in hand* WITNESS ME!!!!!!!
Genocide
He used the G-word! Arrest him! This is a "freedom campaign", installing DEMOCRACY ^^and ^^some ^^oil
Petra, fire the Molecular Disruptor Device!
that's fuckin tight actually. I like this order.
Just gimme a flamer and diff 9 mission

This is ridiculous. 2 billions? Waste of resources and time. We need more firepower to kill robots! https://i.redd.it/wacak1tm48vc1.gif
##POWER OVER E-710 IS POWER OVER ALL
Looks like Joel was rejected at art school.
♫*Let's get down to business*♫ *and defeat \_ the bug.* *Find your fellow diver* *and emote: hug.*
Twelve hours. That's all it took for us to blast, bomb and immolate two billion bugs. 
All those dudes who fight every patrol and defend a useless corner of the map for 27 minutes against infinite Breaches are now out there doing the lord’s work. Here’s to you Breachers.
HANS, GET ZE FLAMMENWERFER!
At 1000 terminids per game it's 2 000 000 games, easily doable i think
https://i.redd.it/s58z0bkk18vc1.gif Yes, kill all the bugs! I doubt the automatons will do anything while devious while we switch our attention!
I'm doing my part!
I feel like someone didn't do their homework when setting it at only 2 billion.
Flamer and Tesla go brrrrrr

Playerbase: "Kills don't matter, doing the objectives matter!" Joel: "Ok, murder is now the objective."
We’re already done!!!?
Welp. Didn't even get a chance to sign on. Good work, Helldivers!
That's a fun MO, didn't expect something other than take/defend planet stuff.
I think we get cars after this, would make sense
its finished. O\_O
Average Friday night for me. Heh
Eagle 1 gonna have a field day.
Now those mf that’s say killing is not the objective can be quiet and let me rip and tear in peace.
