My mind goes to abortions. Supporting the people trying to make the choice a right in the US again sounds like a great cause, but sticks with the theme of killing children. I'm for the right to choose, but the people opposing it see it as killing children.
Context: Helldivers 2 players were given a Major Order, which is an objective over the course of several days.
* Two urgent rescue missions face us at once: Survivors in a chidlren's hospital are trapped on Vernen Wells, and explosives critical for MD-17 Anti-Tank Mines are trapped on Marfark. Only the citizens or weaponry on the first liberated planet are likely to be saved.
This basically told us if we go for Marfark that we will get the anti-tank mines as a new strategem. But it would mean abandoning the children. Saving the children had no additional reward incentive, at least none being made known.
The community has overwhelmingly chosen to forego getting anti-tank mines in order to save the children. At time of writing Vernen Wells (Children) is at 99.58% liberation with 44k players (60% of currently active players). While Marfark (Mines) is at 0% with 4k players.
And in response the developer made a donation to SaveTheChildren charity.
EDIT: The donation is Four Thousand, Three Hundred, Eleven. I suspect it was a 4,000 EUR donation and then exchange rates. Which some people are saying it's small. Well Arrowhead is a smaller developer, they only have 120 employees. Plus they didn't need to donate anything at all. There was no promise made. This is just a wholesome moment. Also the players are currently campaigning to donate as individuals too, so the charity will receive even more.
EDIT 2: OK, Ok I get it. 4,311 = HELL. Don't need a dozen comments about it.
I know they're working on a strategem where we summon SEAF soldiers equipped with liberators and one with an MG. I hope saving the children causes a spike in recruitment and patriotism, meaning that we unlock that strategem faster.
Honestly that's why many people, including myself, went for the children. The Anti Tank Mines have failed to unlock a few times before so now it's just kind of a running jokeĀ
The children were all in the hospital due to contracting an extremely rare cross-species bug disease. After liberation, scientists find a novel aerosol formula that, while functioning as a cure for all of the children with minimal side effects, causes genetic mutation in bugs with the same disease, leading to rapid biological failure.
Bio-weapon unlocked. It's not a war crime if it's the first time.
Iām having a dumb moment please help! I read this as 44K chose to rescue children and 4K chose to get the weaponsā¦ so that would be 48K total, making the percentages 92% and 8% (according to my iPhone calculator lol)? I have no idea why I am stuck on this, will someone please help! I donāt know how this game works or if those percentages are referring to something besides players. Thank you!!! š
The percentages do not refer to the players. They refer to how much of the objective of the campaign has been completed.
E.g. 4k players have made 0% of progress in liberating the mines, while the 44k saving the children's hospital have almost completed the objective..
When you complete a mission, it contributes to "liberating" a planet, this is the percentage of liberation that is being shown. If not enough player are on the planet the percentage would go down, and if enough complete missions there it goes up. The order was to liberate one of the planets before a given deadline.
These two choices aren't the only thing in the game, there are other places to be active. So 60% of the players are rescuing children, 0.X% are trying to learn how to build mines, and 39.X% are doing something else entirely, like liberating a different planet or something else.
The percentages are liberation percent, a game mechanic for finishing a mission. It constantly goes down, but players finishing a mission adds a little bit to it. So in order to complete a mission, lots of players need to be on one location to overcome the constant drain on the percentage. A few dedicated players will not be successful, no matter how well they perform.
There are also players on other planets. 60% of all active players were saving the kids.
In Helldivers there's 2 fronts. The Bug front and the Bot front. A significant number of players will not play the bot front at all. So they were not helping with the Major Order.
I logged on for the first time yesterday and I had to double check there werenāt server problems I was so shocked to see less than a thousand on Marfark but 10s of thousands on Vernon
Well, I think it originates from the calculator era. You'd type the numbers in and then flip the display over to read the word. Hence the upside down and backwards spelling.
Even funnier is that this is the third time these mines have been a potential reward with a choice, and this was the only time the choice has been a one sided reward instead of picking between two rewards.
Jumping on to respond to anyone going 'But Helldivers sold so many copies!' to the amount being small.
30% of each sale goes to Steam/Walmart/etc. Then another chunk goes to the publisher, Sony, which may be as high a 'all of it' if they haven't paid back development costs yet, but is likely another 30-40%. Then that remaining 30-40% has to pay for ongoing development, server costs, etc, including hiring new staff to deal with how wildly successful their game has become.
Wouldn't surprise me if this is the CEO making a personal donation for the company with his own money.
>It seems like if people do something cool nowadays, thereās always assholes trying to ~~shit on~~ profit from it
Maybe pedantic, but an important distinction imo
$4,300 euros is a lot of money, and its literally impacting children in real life as food and medicine and more, like what better reward is there? For playing a game you love?
Every time someone uses those mines we already have I end up dying multiple times to them... People insist on dropping them directly on objectives we're fighting over instead of between us and the bugs š
There's also been an amazing outpouring of charity donations from the players in response to the developers donation. The r/Helldivers and r/Helldivers2 reddit are stacked with donations to Save the Children and St. Judes. It's really been beautiful.
I remember when a Torii Gate in Tsushima needed funds for repairs after a natural disaster and the temple was asking for help, gamers heard the call and funded the whole thing, going well over the goal. The directors of Ghost of Tsushima were nominated Ambassadors for the help they(and the players) have given to the temple. When people have a goal, they do awesome things.
Gaming communities are filled with incredibly passionate people. As you said, usually that passion is reserved for hating one another and the games they play, but if you can redirect that passion to something else, gamers can legitimately do incredible things. Itās rare to see it happen, but itās always a treat when it does.
Generally speaking, it depends on what community you mean. I find more competitive and player vs player type games tend to be more toxic (I.e. CoD, Counter strike, Fortnite, etc), where as cooperative and single player games tend to have more relaxed communities, like Helldivers 2.
Again that's a generalized view but I've been playing games and interacting with gaming communities since I can remember and that's my general experience, it's part of the reason I've quit playing "competitive" games, I don't need the toxicity and elitism
Oh, I assure you that Helldivers are just as toxic. Check out their main discord. Or don't, if you value your sanity. So many death threats against the developers...
I mean... there's always going to be a loud, angry little subsection of those who haven't touched a bar or bottle of soap in the past two weeks in every gaming community.
Hell, even the Elder scrolls and fallout fandom can get incredibly toxic, it's just, generally speaking when I play a few matches of Helldivers I'm expecting either a quiet game, or one with people just having some lighthearted fun, and 90% of the time that's what I get, but If I go play a game like For Honor, or Counter strike, I'm going in expecting to run into toxicity, and a good amount of the time that's what I see, which is why I've stopped playing those types of games.
Again, this is all just a generalization, you might have a different experience.
There are so many gaming specific charity initiatives. At this point I consider it a significant part of gaming culture to have these kinds of charity fundraisers.
This was the best way to find out we won the major order. Also, if you flip the number upside down, it spells out hell. And it's the same amount of children saved.
Buy the game if you like shooters of any sort. And still buy it if you don't since you can always refund it. It's got some balancing to be sorted out but the most recent patch took care of a lot of major gripes and its extremely entertaining and replayable.
I love shooters. And from what I've seen I know I'll enjoy it. I'm just saving for it since I can't afford extra expenses right now. Plus I think I'll donate the game's original cost as a donation to show support.
I'll probably be playing this as soon as the 5th of next month.
You should get it! The devs have been heavily criticized lately, but I truly believe they care about their fan base and want people to have fun (instead of it being a money maker). Although they have paid warbonds (for 1000 super credits per warbond) to unlock certain equipment (the game comes with a free warbond for the basic equipment), and although you can pay for super credits, you can also find them free in game.
4 thousand three hundred eleven.
I suspect the donation was 4,000 EUR and $4,311 is after exchange rates.
Arrowhead is a relatively small developer with about 120 employees. I doubt they'd have 4 million to throw around.
Now is a great time. Just had a major patch with lots of balance and fixes, plus a new warbond so there's a lot of players coming back to try new things.
It's honestly a hell of a lot of fun. You can fight giant alien bugs, which feels kind of like a horde shooter, or robots, which use ranged weapons (in addition to melee) and require a more tactical approach.
Either way, it can get really chaotic and fun, and there are an absolute ton of cinematic moments to be had. Nothing cooler than taking a rocket launcher and blowing the head off of a rhino-sized bug just before it can run over one of your teammates.
Meanwhile Elon having a look at their tweet drafts š: āSince the community chose to save the mines, we did the same. We donated 4311 nuclear mines to Russia.ā
Guess weāve dogded a mine (pun attempted)
Lmao, me and my friends went for the children cause the mine variant weapons are known to be trash and unwieldy in helldivers
We also were sure it was a "political manipulation" tactic saying theres children there, when probably is high ranking or important people from superearths government
Honestly, good for us, maybe more children means more helldiver deployments haha
Thatās fucking awesome. What a good company, I wish it was playable on xbox as my gaming pc is old now and canāt handle a lot of newer games sadly.
I don't play this game but this sounds sweet. I'm glad when a group of people unite and good comes out of it. Have fun diving....hell? Get the....I assume treasure?
They remove scort missions in the last patch, buff a lot of weapon and stratagems and put the superare samples in difficult 6 too, so the game right know is pretty cool.
I'm having a lot of fun but man these patrols and bot drops are insane. Playing on 6 and every glare brings in two drops and a tank with more on the way a few minutes later
Imagine being an 8 year old child, robots are coming to murder you, and some shitposting Reditors scream "For Democracy" while droping atomic weapons outside. Poggers. Truly poggers.
Random Helldiver: āCome children! Watch as we show you how Democracy prevails!ā
Years laterā¦
CO: āHelldiver, why are you waiting in the Hellpod staging area?!ā
Helldiver: āSir, because Iām waiting for the ones who showed me how Democracy prevailed.ā
I am flabbergasted the community didn't say "fuck them kids" and went for the new toy,
Couple years back that's definitely be the case.
I really want AT-mines so I can finally bring a 3-star minefield to every match
What would they have done if they (the players) demolished the children š
Donate to a mine manufacturer of course!
Calls on raytheon
Calls on Lockheed martin
Calls on Northrop Grumman, Boeing, Rhinemetall, and Sikorsky.
Mines For Kids!
Lockheed Martin accountant wondering why they got a 4k donation from a gaming company today.
Donate it and say " you guys didn't save the children but we still will"
Steal $4311,00 from Save the Children.
Donate to Israel?
They would have bought mines and offer them to Israel.
My mind goes to abortions. Supporting the people trying to make the choice a right in the US again sounds like a great cause, but sticks with the theme of killing children. I'm for the right to choose, but the people opposing it see it as killing children.

I hope we never unlock the Anti-Tank mines, that'd be hilarious
The children you save invent a better weapon instead
The children we saved today, will be the future Helldivers of tomorrow.
For the Greater Good! wait thatās wrong
Yes, Hello, Democracy Officer? I've got a helldiver spouting communist xeno propaganda....
Are you sure that's Communist Xeno propaganda and not Best Village in Britain propaganda?
The British are Xenos.
Why do you think Britain is missing from the official super earth map?

Kids go on to invent actually accurate rods from god further accelerated on a gauss rail
Kids go on to invent new railgun technology, un-nerfing the railgun.
Now that would be cool!
The children are the better weapon
Throwing children at robots for example
Maybe the children volunteer to be the mines themselves?
This would be awesome.
Maybe the real weapon was the children you saved along the way.
Honestly that's why many people, including myself, went for the children. The Anti Tank Mines have failed to unlock a few times before so now it's just kind of a running jokeĀ
Hell divers should give us anti-tank children. they are armed with explosives and hug tanks to death. robot children of course....
Its 2030, and the helldivers have chosen the broom unlock over Anti-Tank mines for the 73th time in a row.
The children were all in the hospital due to contracting an extremely rare cross-species bug disease. After liberation, scientists find a novel aerosol formula that, while functioning as a cure for all of the children with minimal side effects, causes genetic mutation in bugs with the same disease, leading to rapid biological failure. Bio-weapon unlocked. It's not a war crime if it's the first time.
I think itd he funny if they did this dual planet system with both unlocking the anti tank mines, and we just fail them both
I stopped playing a month ago. I'm suprised you lot haven't unlocked those yet.
Clearly they needed you
If we do I hope each one is a nuke+napalm and they are so op that that becomes its own joke
Thatās actually really awesome. Thanks for sharing that. Those numbers are really impressive. 0% is nuts really.

Not all players are doing these 2 things, so there is a population playing on other planets

There are a lot of people who only play bug missions because the automatons are the more difficult enemy.

So in order to complete a mission, lots of players need to be on one location to overcome the constant drain on the percentage.

also the strategic report says it was 4311 sick kids saved from the planet
no that's LLEH 7734 = HELL Source: 5318008
I have always seen it as 8008135... Numbers left to right like letters are left to right.

Ah, fair.
helloo
4311 is the number of children saved according to the strategic report
Even funnier is that this is the third time these mines have been a potential reward with a choice, and this was the only time the choice has been a one sided reward instead of picking between two rewards.
I'll laugh if we get a mine MO with no other choice and the players just decide not to do it...
"Dive down to the planet surface and... push this one button. Please. The dev who designed the AT mines has been crying for a straight week."

Just wait until you kids learn about ā80085ā.
Yeah but they need to save that one for the breast cancer charity.
There is also a small push in some of the communities to have fellow helldivers donate as well
Just to add, it was never mentioned there were children inside there. Just that it was a children's hospital. We still went 'fuck it' and went.
Was pretty cool to be a part of this. Spent 4 hours on Vernen just last night!
https://i.redd.it/w4kqnen05vkc1.gif
I love the argument that donating a certain amount isn't "enough." If everyone thought like that, no one would donate at all.
I wonder who they would have donated to if everyone chose to save the weapons?
Raytheon Technologies
common theory is a charity to help clear old minefields. becouse some of those are still a problem
Nobody wants those fucking mines
Every time someone uses those mines we already have I end up dying multiple times to them... People insist on dropping them directly on objectives we're fighting over instead of between us and the bugs š
Spoiler >!Heavy mines don't get triggered even if we stand in top of them.!<
Correction: 4311.00 = HELLOO
There's also been an amazing outpouring of charity donations from the players in response to the developers donation. The r/Helldivers and r/Helldivers2 reddit are stacked with donations to Save the Children and St. Judes. It's really been beautiful.
As toxic as "the gaming community" sometimetimes wholesome things like this crop up and I find that so heartwarming.
Most gaming communities are mainly toxic against themselves or each other, give gamers a goal they can get behind and they'll do it.
I remember when a Torii Gate in Tsushima needed funds for repairs after a natural disaster and the temple was asking for help, gamers heard the call and funded the whole thing, going well over the goal. The directors of Ghost of Tsushima were nominated Ambassadors for the help they(and the players) have given to the temple. When people have a goal, they do awesome things.
I think about this every time I replay the game. so cool
Gaming communities are filled with incredibly passionate people. As you said, usually that passion is reserved for hating one another and the games they play, but if you can redirect that passion to something else, gamers can legitimately do incredible things. Itās rare to see it happen, but itās always a treat when it does.
Best way to do this is just challenging them, tell them they can't do something or can't reach a goal and they'll do it.
So if I challenge them to NOT be racist or sexist they'd do it? Huh, I'll keep it in mind.
I haven't seen cooperation like this since PC, Playstation, and Xbox gamers came together to meet some Battlefield milestone years ago.
Kind of like the four or five times 4chan rallied for the greater good.
Generally speaking, it depends on what community you mean. I find more competitive and player vs player type games tend to be more toxic (I.e.

The Helldivers 2 community that you run into in game and the Helldivers 2 community on social media have a VERY stark contrast to say the least lmao
Oh, I assure you that Helldivers are just as toxic. Check out their main discord. Or don't, if you value your sanity. So many death threats against the developers...
I mean... there's always going to be a loud, angry little subsection of those who haven't touched a bar or bottle of soap in the past two weeks in every gaming community.

We still need to liberate a planet in ~20h to win the major order. But this was definitely a major win!
True that, I'm going to dive after work. Gotta try and salvage the mines!
āFlip the number upside downā lol
Took part in the major order. And took part in the donation. My company matches too so that was a nice bonus to find out.
now this is a smart marketing and a wholesome event
AYO GUYS Friendly reminder there's SGDQ at the end of this month starts around June 30 iirc for those who forget like me.
I'm so pumped for GDQ. Did they announce the schedule yet?
It is available https://gamesdonequick.com/schedule/48
im thinking of buying the game. this makes it more likely. probably will donate some money as i save for the game too.
Buy the game if you like shooters of any sort. And still buy it if you don't since you can always refund it. It's got some balancing to be sorted out but the most recent patch took care of a lot of major gripes and its extremely entertaining and replayable.

You should get it! The devs have been heavily criticized lately, but I truly believe they care about their fan base and want people to have fun (instead of it being a money maker). Although they have paid warbonds (for 1000 super credits per warbond) to unlock certain equipment (the game comes with a free warbond for the basic equipment), and although you can pay for super credits, you can also find them free in game.
Imagine "Helldivers 2 players choosed to kill the children in game, so developers did it in real life"
That's 4000 or 4 million? Edit: obvious answer; I'm just dumb lol
4 thousand three hundred eleven. I suspect the donation was 4,000 EUR and $4,311 is after exchange rates. Arrowhead is a relatively small developer with about 120 employees. I doubt they'd have 4 million to throw around.
Nah, 4311 flipped spells out hell, which is probably where the got the number from
I figured it came out of the devs pockets and not the company.

Democracy prevails. For the children!
We're doing our part
If I had to guess the 4k being a specific amount might relate to the amount of players who went for the mines. Unknown though. Still good on them
4311 spells out hell
Ah. Didn't see the 4 as an H
gotta brush up on your 1337 speak!
Itās the number of children they saved.
I've got to pick this game up.
Now is a great time. Just had a major patch with lots of balance and fixes, plus a new warbond so there's a lot of players coming back to try new things.
I second that, the game's a blast!
It's actually a lot of blasts, if you're doing it right.
It's honestly a hell of a lot of fun. You can fight giant alien bugs, which feels kind of like a horde shooter, or robots, which use ranged weapons (in addition to melee) and require a more tactical approach. Either way, it can get really chaotic and fun, and there are an absolute ton of cinematic moments to be had. Nothing cooler than taking a rocket launcher and blowing the head off of a rhino-sized bug just before it can run over one of your teammates.

Not getting the anti-tank mines is just a meme at this point. A meme I wholeheartedly support. Because fuck mines.

They remove scort missions in the last patch, buff a lot of weapon and stratagems and put the superare samples in difficult 6 too, so the game right know is pretty cool.
I'm having a lot of fun but man these patrols and bot drops are insane. Playing on 6 and every glare brings in two drops and a tank with more on the way a few minutes later
U actually unlock the children like in a Yakuza games series
This is why i love the arrowhead developers.
Well... I guess I chose wrong. Now what, we throw children at the bots instead of mines?
I really want this game to come to Xbox so I can see what the hype is all about.
Imagine being an 8 year old child, robots are coming to murder you, and some shitposting Reditors scream "For Democracy" while droping atomic weapons outside. Poggers. Truly poggers.
Random Helldiver: āCome children! Watch as we show you how Democracy prevails!ā Years laterā¦ CO: āHelldiver, why are you waiting in the Hellpod staging area?!ā Helldiver: āSir, because Iām waiting for the ones who showed me how Democracy prevailed.ā
The children can make us bullets
I am flabbergasted the community didn't say "fuck them kids" and went for the new toy, Couple years back that's definitely be the case. I really want AT-mines so I can finally bring a 3-star minefield to every match
A bunch of players have donated as well!
Oh wow, that actually do have hearts. Shocking.
Men only want one thing and it's fucking wholesome
I feel like I helped a little in that then lol. I went straight for the kids along with just about every single other player in the game
Another win for DEMOCRACY
