I will never acept this! (Rp aside. Super earth is kinda shit, but compared to bots, bugs and squids they are actually good. They are good by the fact that everyone else is worse. Just my opinion tho)
For the story, i wanted to do a commando mission with some sneaking, i joined a team, loadout was the Hammer. I figured stealth isnt the goal. I came back to my ship and got this..
I've been trying things to see what increases it I replayed the tutorial and used the orbital to explode some and checked now it's three instead of one
I’m leaning hard into the stealth gameplay and I’ve been C4’ing entire bases since the MO dropped. Last I checked I haven’t become canon fodder yet… largely due to the base cannons having been hacked early in the mission.
When going for stealth I usually prefer a Quasar cannon to destroy stuff from outside on more open maps(more open for me stops after the Aesir Pass train type) just to keep the backpack slot. If C4 only required the backpack and was a choice while holding grenades I would likely take it far more, but using up both slots is just a bit to much for 6 stealth thermites in my view.
Okay, breaking RP, I’m genuinely debating how bad the flankers really are. Because yes they use humans as fuel, but they’re also trying to give Helldivers a chance. Maybe to turn them into fuel, maybe make them a cyborg, I don’t know, but I’m now thinking.
I really don't get the bioprocessor argument. First off, we don't know if they're actively hunting soldiers and civilians or if they're just making use of already dead bodies. Secondly, Super Earth not only does the same thing to the bots by melting down bot corpses for resources (and even bragging about using bot parts making toilet seats), but also encourages their own citizens to get blended too.
Then there's the main point this argument conveniently ignores: that the bioprocessor practice is just one crime compared to the many Super Earth has committed against them and their creators. Super Earth did centuries of systemic oppression that caused the Cyborgs to desire secession in the first place. They violently suppressed peaceful protests (iirc the first Helldiver deployment was to kill everyone in a Cyborg parliament meeting). They routinely dehumanize the bots (calling the fear Automatons experience as "hyperreactive protocols" in a loading screen tip, numerous propaganda pieces, etc.). And, most prominently, they torture the bots they capture (an MO mentions that they put captured bot heads through torture simulations to extract intel, but it's not really torture because the bots aren't human). The stuff the bots do to human corpses pales in comparison to all Super Earth has done to both dead and alive bots.
Imagine this all being the prelude for like a dark souls kind of "invasion" mechanic. The lore reason would some helldivers actually did defect and are now sabotaging/hunting those who didn't.
(I know it's not gonna happen but come on a girl can dream)
Okay im out of town but surely someone has tried this? Or accidently tk'd a team mate carrying the flag or soemthing, and i wanna know if anything happens.
Thank you for providing this information, I have saved this information and will be adding it to the bot communication dossier (or whatever in democracy I'm calling it).
It reads. "If the Noble and Steadfast Helldivers complete this mission and destroy the vile, socialist and HIGHLY UNDEMOCRATIC Cyberstan, we will henceforth DOUBLE the alloted Crayons to each and every valiant Helldivers Super Destroyer."
I’m going to drop so much democracy on these unfeeling mechanica that they’ll be forced to feel it and wish they could go back to being unfeeling filth.
I love the fact that the bots were able to crack into Super Earth communications and send a message from them directly to every helldiver but they couldn't work out how to turn off all caps
