Not really interested. You already gain nothing if you fail your dive.
It's about having fun? We need some new modes, the same old missions and enemies are getting stale. The game has almost zero challenge anymore. Me and my team on discord can grab any 4 people from our group, clear a full set of 10s, and each only die once or twice per mission. Either needs to add a new difficulty that's actually difficult, or some new game modes or their going to lose a lot of players. There's a reason the biggest spikes of players are at major events, people come back for the 2 or 3 days something starts, ie super earth invasion, then leave for months after because it's just more of the same.
You should give this a try, it's the only thing that kept me interested as long as it did. In currently not in the mood for diving but I use this to shake things up. https://helldivers2challenges.com/
Ya we've used this before. It's kinda meh. Most of us already drop in with meme loadouts. Flags, cars, riot shields etc.
One of the guys in our discord is really good at making up like D&D challenges for us. Last one he did was cool, each team member was only allowed to bring 1 color stratagems. Except the leader who had to pick 1 from each of the other squads selected stratagems. But wasn't allowed to call anything down till the squad members who color that was had it on cool down. Or if the green member had a rocket sentry, and squad leader picked that, he can't call it down unless the green members rocket sentry was on cool down.
I'd still prefer a new game mode or something though tbh.
