Glad to see they may have fixed rover audio issue.

Not so much with fixing Adreno-Defibrillator in the walker. I've done it once. Hard to pull it off and it's probably not very exploitable.

Helldivers 2 hilariously shows the tricks bad-faith lawyers use to quietly turn democracies into authoritarian military regimes

For the new recruits, the last president died during the unprovoked Illuminate attack on Super Earth.

"The President died heroically, defending the Presidential Security bunker with only a pistol against waves of Illuminate foes."

The last time High Command increased our Reinforcement Budget was when the DSS gunner tried to kill us with 380mm barrages. These fresh recruits got it easy.

The ODST crossover, I mean. I've seen news posts about it here, but nothing posted after the ODST warbond dropped.
So, whatcha think about it?

M90A shotgun

I've played 95% of my free time during my elementary school years on Halo 2 with my cousin, and to me the M90A (known to me as "Scodinciocio" (don't ask (actually yes ask that's half my childhood))) is probably the most iconic item in the warbond.
... meh? I've played with it once before the game booted me out due to a network error (overloaded servers, probably), but I expected it to be the first non-slug 3-pen shotgun ever; alas, the AR is 3-pen despite my expectations while the M90A seems to be just a faster reloading 2-pen shotgun.
Having played Halo 3 multiplayer for an embarassing amount of time, I see the shotgun as a "get close to an overseer and FUCKING SEND THEM" kinda weapon, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

M45C ar

Too good.
Not according to HD2's balance, mind you, but I recently had a Halothon with the aforementioned cousin - we played every Halo from CE to Reach on legendary diff within 2 days - and the AR (= the M45C) was the "ugh, this is what I respawn with? fine, I'll manage" weapon, consistently through all the 5 games having it.
Surprisingly, it DOES work in Helldivers, at least to someone who's played with the Eruptor for 80% of their playtime and who knows what they're missing by not doing that.
The point is, this weapon is probably more effective in Helldivers 2 than in any good Halo game (= every Halo game released before Halo 4), which H3:ODST falls into. And I think it's nice, about damn time.

M7S smg

I'll use it because nostalgia, but... ehhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Amirite?
I mean, it *looks* cool, but... ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
I'll take the M45C instead, unless I care about having a nice looking gun in my hand because tbh this SMG looks so hot I feel like E̸̘̺͍̲͐͋̌͊͋̔́̍͗͛͗͒͗̋͝c̷̨̞̥͔̙͈̩̱͖̳͂͜g̸̡̢̛̯̟̜͔͍̔̃̒͒̾̇̓͛̄̌̅̀̈̚j̶̦̺̖̥̘̦͈̫̘̙̩͊̽͜H̶̡̡̡̨̛̲̰̟̖̉̀͑̐͒̈́̔̅̈́̈́͌̈̚͜/̵̡̗̖͓̭͈̤̹̖̻̫̿͋̀͊̾̊̓̊̕͜ͅL̶̢͙̠̼͉̰̩̤̥̹̭̺̖͖̯͊C̴̜̒̃͋̎͋ͅͅl̷̢̛̻̙̐̎̌̏̆͒̉͊̊̒͐͑͐͠͝ž̸̛̺͙͉̠̒͆̊̋̄͊̅̅̚͘͘͝ͅB̸̧̧̨̫͙̯͎̺̝̯̪̖̮̤͙̰͙̀̓͑̔͒͑̇́̈́͠/̶̵̳̞̬͍̝͔̹̯̣̣̞̫̥̹͙̬̮̖̘̞̙̜͉͆̄̽͐͛͒́̀͑͆̈̃̽͠/̸͍͈͔͓̤̰̣̟̥̩̑̑ͅ9̷̡̜͕͓̖̣͔͔̍̌͌̊́̿̀̊̊̋̎̇̏̚͝͝8̸̨̨̡̍̌̈ͅý̵̖̩̱͓͇̦̾̀̐̐̀͌́͐͘͘͝r̷̻̝̣̩̝͎͈̝̩̭̅̀̌̀̊͜k̸̡̢̢̛̮̣̭͈̳͇̦̳̀̒̄̆͜͜i̴̧̮͖̞͇͓͚̙̭͙͙̙̱̭̘͊͆̈̏̆͋̂͐̎̂͆̚͝h̸̨̛̰̦̪͚̱̱̳̺̫̪̺̣͉̤͚̒͋̀̍̒͛͋̀̾̌̑̾́̉̽͠z̵̞͓̬̥̑͋̊̉̇̽̇́̄͘͘̕3̵̢̡͔̪̫̦̼̤̯̞̺͕̇̓̋͊̀͘͝͝ͅ2̷͚̥̥̈́̓̈́̇̑͂̀͌̽̿Ņ̷͈͍̣̰̬̓̎̌͑̓̽͐̔̓͋̕̚̚͠ḏ̴̨̬̰̹̼̻̀́͌̊̀̉̉̿͝ͅt̵̛͇͓͚̝̥̫͂̑̎̄͒̽͘͘ͅp̶͍͎͂͊̿̋̓̎̎̿͘̚Ȟ̶̙̒̓̽͐̎͋̆̃̐͋̑̑͑̉͝g̵̨̨͔̺̭̩̤̜̝̠̲̙̓͆͑̕r̸̰͙̳̄̇̐̈́̎͒̋̾̾̚0̵̨̦̹̠̩͔͚͙̤̼̳͈͚̟̍͊́͜ͅl̴̡̗̘͎͚̠̜͒̈́͂͠Ṙ̵̲͓̯̹̐̓͑̂̈́̽́̇̆͌̋̈̌́͝ý̶̢̢̛̖͙̗̠̪̲̮̠͖͑̃̉̑͗̏͘͝q̴̨̡̛̜̝̪͉̗̭̬̺̼̙͚̑̀̒̓̈́̐̽̋̆͊̕͜y̸͖͉͇̠͉̘̩̲̆̍̌̈̿̕̚͘͘̚͝ͅơ̶͍̘̬͖̭̱͍̤̮͍̈́̊̑̃͆͒̿͘͠͠č̴̢̨͈̩̪̦̯̦̳͙̻͜P̶̡̛͚̘̪͇̖̯͎̲̹͕̳̜͓̈̇͛̇̊̋́̀͐̕͠h̸̡̛̯̜̗͙̥͍̪̃̓̀̀̋̓̽̈́̅̎͋͌͛̏̕͝p̴̨̧̲̗͖͕̮͕̪̗͎̭̤̽̔͜P̷̡̟͎̪̙͔̣̠͔͖͇͕͇̯̼̘̀̽̇̔́̉̌̊́̃͝ļ̵̠̣́͝ẖ̷̢̢̢͓̲͇̼̭͓̺̘̗͚̪̫̄̈G̸̜̯͉̝̤̝̫̣̠͎̼̣͕͚̬̒̂͒̄̓̅͑͠ͅŗ̸̢̠̼̪̻̼̙̜͖̱̬͋̆̊̏̓͆̓́̂̑̈̈́̈̾͌͘͝X̸̨̛̪͈͔̘̹̗̗͋͐̓̒͛̿̕ṯ̸̢͇̱͓͇̝̙̇̏̅͋̒̍͠͝Ş̷̛̤͉̞̖̯̤̗͓̈̀̈̀͐̈́̽͒̍̃͋̽͗̕̕Z̷̧̡̺̜̙̺̲̼̗̜̼͖̹̥͍̯̪͆F̷͖̺̮̻̹͗̀4̵̯͎͎̪̩̳͔̬̰͍̄͊̍͗̾̈́̈́̈̎́͆̚͠͠͝ͅT̶̳͉̜̟̝̏́͆̒̍̀̅̈́̉͑͌ͅǪ̷̩̖̳̠̓̍͌̃̔́͌͝ͅx̶̙̖̮͉̔͒͗͐̂S̷̹̠̩̜̯̟͕͕̺̣͑͐͑͗͆́̔͝x̸̲͎͔̰͔̣̭͍̤̬̠͛g̷͎̳͔͉̖͕̦̯̖͂͑̋̏͗̄͂̉̀͋̚̕͝ͅw̴̢̻͖̗͕͖͙̯͎̬̳̗̪̱͈̤̗̓̎͂͛̒͋̒̃̆͂͝8̴̮̪͖̳̖͇̫̪̞̯͎̪̲̖̠̽̈m̵̬̣͊͗͗͗̓̇̕͠f̷̢̪̜̭̖̅͋̇̀̊̓͂́̓͗̂̚͝r̶̨͚͚̮͚͎͓̲̘͍͙͉͓̻̫͇̆̿̀͑͆͒͒̂̐͆̔̏̿͋̃ͅḋ̴̨̨͙̮̣͎͉̻͍̣̙͚̞͖̖+̶̧͍̜͂̒̓͂́̍̓̽̄́̒̆͘͝͠s̵̢̮͙̦̬͎̞͛Ĵ̵͙̲̟͉̙̠͍̹̪̬̺͚̩̪͛͂͒̉̊̎͋̇͘͜͝͝/̸̨̞̬̩͖̬̲͎͕̹̤̐͆̃̒̾̉͘3̵̧̡͖̳̺̘̜̦̩̟̟͚̪͉͖͐́̔͆̍̊́͑̍͌̽̅̎̀͘͜E̵̢͙̯͇͉͇̱̺̯͙̍̓̽͐̊͛̊̋͆̅͐̐̓̊͘͠p̴̧̤̺̞̬͚̳͍̠͉̤͙͍̺͉̣̍̀̊̾̔́̐̃̈́͌̄͠j̷̧̧͕̤͕͕̹̰̝̜̻̣͚̓̂̀̉͋͐͊͗͂͋̕ͅc̸͓̞̭̙̖̬̹͖͔͕̭̻̩̩̃͋̉̔ͅy̸̩͉̺͙̺̣̝̬̩̻̟̦͈̣̮͒̀̎͌͗͗͒̄̇̕L̶̛͓̘̪͊̿̑̏͋͆̈́̀͝͠͝d̸̢͔̹̪̗͎̯̠̠͔̩̦̯̳͖͇̓̊̒̐̀̿̂̒͠m̶̢̨̪͎̥͇̳͇͇̻͚̭̈́͌̿͋́̚P̸̨̛̙͈̩͉̖̞̦̮̤̌͆̓̎͆̅̅̀̈́̈́͒̎͠ͅB̷̙̳͎̱̎̌̄̇̈́̈́̂̈́͗̿̈́̆̓f̵̡̨̢̛̺̯̹͓̜͙͔͈̲̭̂́̉̚ͅm̴͍̳̭͈̓̐̎̏̈́̌̔̚3̵̧̨͖̰͖̣̞̠̣͔̀̇̓̉̐̀̽̃̒͆͒̑̂̋͝͝͠8̶̨̧͓̼̼̺͉͕͇̱͉̜̳̖͈̬̤͗́̋̇̎̐̓̾̀́͋͌͌G̵̪̭̈́̈́̏̀͐ẁ̸̧̧̢̙̥͓͉̜̹̥̜͖͈͎̊̑͂͑́̓͒͝.

M6C/SOCOM

I haven't unlocked it yet. Sorry, no comment from me, feel free to write your own.

Mean Green skins

I don't personally like them over the fire-themed ones (pyromaniac speaking here), but do YOU know what the name of these skins is a reference to? Come on, oust yourself either as a Halo noob (like me) or a no-life Halo fan (like me), I dare you. And if you can answer, go play ODST on legendary RIGHT FUCKING NOW IMMEDIATELY THAT'S AN ORDER DIRECTLY FROM THE SUPER EARTH MINISTER OF UNITY GET MOVING SOLDIER.

A-9 Helljumper armor

best in the game, fite me 1v1 on rust (idc about the passives)
Sorry !BussyGyatt@feddit.org, I fell for it, I hope you can forgive me.

The AR is incendiary!

Our top scout has reported back from the gloom with new reports The Tyranical bugs are Terraforming planets stuck within the gloom, we MUST not allow it to go on a further, Helldivers, you know what to do!

Remember to show them the ropes and ease them into the game (as funny as it would be to drop them into level 10s I’ve ha people, myself included, drop some games because the difficulty was too high). With that said we are all in the fight to spread managed democracy, maybe call in a mech or recoilless rifle or keep them stocked up with a supply backpack.

Let’s show these recruits what it means to be super earth finest

Announcing the HELLDIVERS 2 x HALO: ODST Legendary Warbond!

This is it, Helldivers. The Warbond you’ve been waiting for. Lock it up and prepare to make history with the HELLDIVERS 2 x HALO: ODST Legendary Warbond*, with incredible new armour sets, weapons, skins, and more inspired by the iconic Helljumpers from Halo: ODST.

The HELLDIVERS™ 2 x Halo: ODST Legendary Warbond lands in the Acquisitions Center for 1500 Super Credits - a step up from previous Warbond tiers, and packed with gear worthy of the legend.

A quick heads-up: Legendary Warbonds aren’t compatible with the new Premium Warbond Token launching August 26th. So if you're planning to deploy with ODST gear, make sure your Super Credits are locked and loaded.

So I decided to finally unlock everything in the first few war bonds, stuff I haven’t unlocked like a few victory poses and banners from HD mobilize and Steel Vets and apparently those were moved to the bottom

120 levels in and I’m still finding stuff out. Now I wonder if I didn’t go in order would the order they’re in the bottom change

Would you like to know more?

This Major Order requires us to kill 5,000,000 Chargers, and special chargers like the Behemoth and Spore charger do not count. So to progress the MO, people have been suggesting dropping the difficulty to 5/6, since that's where normal charger spawns are the highest.

The problem with that is, you get 36 medals from completing a D10 operation, but only 21 medals for completing a D6 - a 15 medal difference. So after 4 operations, you've missed out on 60 medals when the major order only rewards 50, if we even succeed (not looking good currently).

The same applies to D7-D9, but the break even points are different: 17 OPs for D7, 7 OPs for D8, and 5 OPs for D9. May or may not be worth it depending on how much you play.

I imagine there are lots of D10 players who do more than 3 OPs per week, so this is a bit of a disappointing MO when it's in their best interest to ignore it.

August 26th is when Xbox players will join Helldivers, the elite peacekeeping force in the galaxy.

What do you predict will be the highest helldiver count registered in the galactic war between August 26th to September 1st (7 day period)?

• Under 75k
• 75k to 125k
• 125k to 175k
• 175k to 225k
• 225k to 275k
• Over 275k

Orbital Railcannon Stratagem temporarily buffed to 30 second cooldown and it is a mission stratagem. You can now dual wield 30 second railcannons.

Those railcannon strikes are like super ballots.
