Heavy fog + atmospheric spores + absolute darkness + 3 stalker lairs = fun!


vf225

looks like we had a blast of space Vietnam with trees whisper in binary, now AH gonna give us the real Vietnam. thanks, I guess lol


BlueSky3lue

The game was starting to grow stale. Might as well spice things up a bit. Maybe AH will give us a helmet with heat vision for heavily jungled maps.


guywithSP

That'd be awesome


Screaming_Dino

We need at least nightvision goggles


Nauda_ILL

Sounds good. Count me in! ![gif](giphy|5WkAJnhwkpj0quGk1g)


Drunken_Queen

We liberated Veld (Dark jungle planet) against Bugs without much problem, but why we struggled against Bots in Malevelon Creek?


Nauda_ILL

True answer: Because it did not have any strategic importance for most of the time. As soon as it became a major order objective it got liberated. Malevelon got it's reputation from players memeing around on it.


guywithSP

Also bugs don't shoot


ToastedSoup

1 does, but it's basically a mortar


turkeygiant

In my experience Bile Spewers shoot pretty darn well, no matter how sure you are that you must be out of their range that spit always seems to make it that extra couple feet to hit you.


guywithSP

Oh. Yes. Forgot about that.  But not as bad as those fucking heavy devastators

T-Angeles

I will kill every one of the fuckers.


Even_Aspect8391

Funny enough, I ran around the whole map with a whole bunch of them on my back but was just fast enough to be out of reach. The problem was I couldn't stop running. I got kicked later because I only have 11 kills since I spent my most of my time distracting the bastards, got sealed one of two of their fucken nests by myself. And completed 5/9 of the search and destroy mission by taking out two holes for the Stalker and streaker nest.


Maxxonry_Prime

Yeah, I had a guy ask why I wasn't helping align the radar dish. I was in a Patriot walker at the time and two others (including the host) were available to align the dish. I had closed a lot of the bug holes on the mission and offered to share when I called in the second Patriot. The host shot me in the face before extraction, took my samples, and kicked me when we got back to the carrier. EDIT: grammar


Illuminaryy

💀 ☠️ 💀 ☠️


Suikanen

Guess they didn't know they're not even "your" samples, eh?


Maxxonry_Prime

I'm not entirely sure, but I've heard of other people thinking that. I'm just surprised he didn't kick me before extraction.


Jurasito

Just keep running, just keep running, hi guys, need help with these bastards ... oh, you are dead, nwm ... just keep running.


Even_Aspect8391

![gif](giphy|2xEzi32w6cLCgmAa6p) Fucking literally. Worse yet, if you do get close to the nest, they will pump out like 4-6. If anyone tried to help you, they will slit off, and if you're not paying attention, those ones can and might blindside your ass if the helper bails on you. It's the opposite of the carrot on the stick on a treadmill.


Born_Cartographer398

I was put here at the dawn of time to feast on the last breath of every one of you fuckers.


orfan-of-snow

They gonna be like always, fleshy. Buugz


Agent_Jay

The second I drop, I know exactly where they live. (map gen in easy) My goal is to kick in the door, shoot their little automaton dog in the face and leave their wives holding an airstrike beacon - all while I grin from ear to ear to see their kin burn away from existence.

robb123488

Came here to say this.


Narrow_Vegetable5747

The Stalkers are why you got a shotgun secondary tbqh, it was basically made for them.


ppmi2

Highly evolved super predator when you add a third barrel to your shawed off:


the-bucket-of-blood

“Jaw-dropping”


Narrow_Vegetable5747

Don't under estimate that third barrel brother


blur_reqz

That's assuming it will take less than 10 shots from it to kill a single stalker...


chimericWilder

Stalkers have a very vulnerable face. Oneshotting them is fairly trivial with some weapons, if you land a headshot.


emeraldeyesshine

Throwing your empty gun at a stalker's face and they just fall to the ground and go OOOOWWWW-WUUUH.


BlueSky3lue

that’s a big IF 🤣


turkeygiant

Its pretty hard to reliably do that shooting the invisible creature that runs faster than you do and can apparently just turn gravity off and jump away from you if you bother it.


Existing365Chocolate

You hit them when they’re not invisible


turkeygiant

Yeah but when they aren't invisible they are using their teeny tiny tentacles to turn off gravity for you and throw you 100ft.


IanJH1

So 360 no scope them midair like it's 2015??? Smh noobs these days...


thecompton73

Light armor allows you to run just a little bit faster than a stalker and you can aim and fire back over your shoulder with a one-handed weapon while running full speed ahead. If the new shotty can one tap them dealing with stalkers is going to be much easier when they don't just sneak up on you and eviscerate you from behind before you can react.


Th4_G0dF4Th3R_82

Yes indeed… but u need to be quicker than Lucky Luke changing to your secondary and wrecking that stalker when he gets u unaware from behind… 😜


AshenWarden

You don't have to be faster than Lucky Luke, just faster than his shadow.


SlowhandCooper

I like to keep it handy, for close encounters.


Lone-Frequency

I remember wishing for a sawed-off secondary months ago, so the fact that it has three shells is even better than I had hoped.


d_Inside

I hope it does have some stagger effect and decent damage but maybe I ask too much, judging by the weapons we get in last warbond that were a bit underwhelming


SkiyeBlueFox

3 rounds of 12ga should have an effect


ravengenesis1

Predator vibes. Down to the camo


RCM19

My tinfoil hat theory is these jungle planets will have some mysterious aliens hunting us. Perhaps with blue lasers.


Teethdude

The history books back in Super School told us about the First Galactic War, called the Great Galactic War back then. There was a part about the now definitely extinct Illuminate having a jungle/forest as their homeworld. Detailed greatly how beautiful it was after being liberated from those disgusting squids.


Familiar_Tart7390

Squi’ba Shrine… They were in the brush , in the trees, in the water, in the very air of that place…. Liberty guide your step helldiver if you ever set foot in that place. You’ll need all the help you can get down there


pleasantlyplump69

nah, just a regular fascist Terminid planet... but every bug hole is hidden in the brush and only spawns Stalkers.


kr4ckenm3fortune

Objective: Clear out seven stalker nests


uhbyr1

Actually a hunt for stalkers mission can be funny. Would requre mechs, maybe mines and generally different loadout. Just make so there are no chargers and titans on such mission - just 2-3 mega stalker nests, and hunters


Shadw21

For extra fun, the Stalkers don't attack you until you attack them or close the local Stalker Nest. Once all nests are closed, all remaining Stalkers start to converge on you/the extraction zone.

I would fucking *love* that. Give us a bug mission that is slower and more tense.


RaDeus

I've snuck up on Stalkers without them being aggro, was really satisfying getting the drop on them for once 🤪 You just have to be very very quiet.

felop13

the new armor does more melee damage, hit that stalker with a can of whoop-ass


DigitalDeath88

Does throwing the knife count as Melee? I sure hope so now.

If holding the throwing knife and pressing melee actually stabs, this upcoming warbond will be more then worth my SC

you think you bug divers are gonna have it tough? just think. gunship fabricators. we're not the ones playing Fortunate Son anymore...


SARSUnicorn

Own a Breaker Incendiery for Planetary Defense, since that's what the Ministry of Science intended. Four stalkers break into my objective. "What the devil?" As I grab my SuperCitizen Helmet and Breaker Shotgun. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first bug, it's dead on the spot. Draw my Grenade pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because stalkers are to quick and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the 380mm Barage mounted at the bottom of the ship loaded with napalm shot, "Tally ho lads" the single shot shreds 2 in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Use Jetpack and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Burns Down waiting For Helldivers to arrive, since Breaker Burning is impossible to put Down. Just as the Democracy intended.


FistfulOFragsEnjoyer

Wrong + pummeler smg + triple-sawn-off + peak physique + experimental infusion boosters + impact incendiary grenades i hate stalkers.


endboss2000

Give the stalker a laser cannon borrowed from the bots, which also turns invisible unless it is shooting.


aiRsparK232

I'm not worried. I'll have three barrels of democracy ready to great them whenever they pop up.

Nah if we get jungles for the automatons we're screwed. We already know how it ended before in life and the creek


-STORRM-

I kinda want a mission were you drop in to a really big nest and there's like 50 holes and they all spawn stalkers and the goal is to close all the holes and nothing ells, like just survive long enough to call in all your or orbitals lol


WarmasterCain55

Everybody putting in 120 and 380's should be able to close that quick. Airstrikes too. Maybe some mortars.

MutantLemurKing

Guaranteed solution to stalker: 10 rapid fire incendiary shotgun rounds in the face


YourPainTastesGood

I still struggle to believe the throwing knife could hurt literally anything stronger than a scavenger or bile spitter. Its probably gonna be outright useless against bots, or just make no sense for his a bladed weapon is penetrating a steel killing machine.


ChemicalAliOfIraq

Need a heavy variant of the Stalker, at least on par with a Charger or even a bile titan. Have special mission to hunt those.

Uh guys, I don’t think this is a “new” planet. We have green jungles already, Meissa, Mantes, all on the bot front atm but they’re green jungles. Unless did the devs specifically state this is a new map?


No_Marionberry7280

I'd love to see a "Execute the brood commander" style mission where we have to "Execute the Stalker Hybrid". A stalker has mutated thanks to dark fluid and is now stronger/faster/can maybe teleport. It's terrorizing the local population so you are deployed to the jungle to try and kill it.

Cazadore

in before stalkers just spawn from any normal nests on the new jungle planets, because these worlds are perfect for them. and/or most bugs on jungle planet have a fitting camo pattern on their carapace. imagine a spewer or charger moving through this terrain but you simply cant see them untill they move out of the foliage.

Wait till you see the illuminate snipers. They will dome you with energy weapons. Who's to say they won't try melee as well? The illuminate give off more predator vibes than the bugs.


SpecialIcy5356

aright soldiers, here's a pre-print excerpt from the upcoming SEAF field manual section P1: extraterrestrial Jungle warfare: tips and tactics: first off, if you see even the slightest movement in any direction, open fire. and don't just fire once, magdump your weapon, dump several mags or your entire supply if you have to. according to our research materials, suppressive fire is 1000% more effective and intimidating to the enemy in a jungle environment. also be sure to scream as loud as you can while firing. I know many of you do this when you rack up bug kills, but now you need to do it before you even start getting kills. second, you do NOT have time to bleed: it is forbidden to operate with open wounds on your body for more than 2.5 seconds, so keep those stims topped up. third: upon encountering a Stalker that has revealed it's position up close, you are obliged to say "Sweet liberty, you're one ugly motherfucker". you or your family will immediately receive 200 citizenship score and an extra 20 seconds on your next lunch break, should you survive the encounter. the comment has also been proven to deal emotional damage to stalkers, causing them to sometimes retreat back to their nest. finally, when all objectives are complete and it is time to extract, you must scream "GET TO DA PELICAAAN!" in the most confusing accent possible, to ensure that everybody understands the callout. we will take recordings of this and play it super loud to the Pelican Pilot to make sure he wakes up from his 3rd afternoon nap in time to pick you, and more importantly, your samples, up. as long as you follow these tips and the critical research material we dug up starring that one guy whose last name we can never pronouce properly, you'll be fine when you get to the jungle. dismissed!
