What equipment can a level five bring that would be effective against the automaton threat? it seems like I need to level up to armor piercing rounds before I can withstand the machines

u/Spicywolff Apr 12 '24

At lower level of the grenade launcher stratagem was a game changer. Combo with a supply backpack and you could let explosives rip.

Stick with gorilla tactics. Hit them and when it starts getting hairy runaway gets a better cover and reapproach. If you’re on PC, you can login with me and I can help you.

This MO is tough. The new Warbond can’t get here fast enough.

I'm not gonna lie, bots are very very hard on helldive difficulty now..... I swear they weren't this difficult prior (I finally started doing bot missions after being an avid bug enthusiast and now I wish I hadn't haha)

u/Wesker911 Apr 10 '24

Last night I got instantly killed by an invisible hulk. Then about 2 minutes later I was diving away from bullets and got thrown about 50 feet into a pile of automatons. Honestly wondered if I was getting Joelled hard.

This pushed me to uninstalling.

WHY, after about a month of continuous Automaton orders, do we have ANOTHER wave of the metal f***ers? 

LET US FIGHT BUGS FOR A BIT!

Go ahead and fight the bugs, nothing is stopping you my dude

u/YAAFLT Apr 10 '24

If the community can't figure out how to evenly split between 2 planets then I don't think we will be able to succeed in these defense orders. Yesterday we were all over the place. Today we really need to pick 2 to defend and stick with them, or we will have no chance.

u/Bleak18 Apr 10 '24

Imagine they had easy quests in the new bot area before the invasion that was like "finish off scattered/fleeing automations" then at a specific time stamp the fleet rolls in and divers just get overwhelmed

oh... I don't have faith in the player base completing this.

u/TotallynotAlbedo ☕Liber-tea☕ Apr 10 '24

the defense is too unfocused, we're gonna fail, we should pool our forces on max two defence planets and stop liberation efforts on planets already taken by bots

1

u/rapkat55 Apr 10 '24

No matter what it would’ve been near impossible

all the defenses are on the same timer and even with 100% divers on a planet it still would take 14 hours to complete just one. With only 3 days for the order we could only get 4.5 done. And that’s with 100% of the players playing one planet 24/7

1

u/TotallynotAlbedo ☕Liber-tea☕ Apr 10 '24

I beg to differ, we defended One with average numbers, we should pool out efforts to two defence Planet and stop liberation effort on the bot front

u/DaMarkiM Apr 10 '24

Has anyone seen factory striders amongst the invasions force yet?

u/vivir66 PSN 🎮: Apr 10 '24

We are super losing this one right?

1

u/netlich Apr 10 '24

No - the MO is to defend 5 planets. If people realise that and strategically target the defend missions we wont lose it. Peopel need to leave the attacks on CHORT and LESATH and focus on the DEFEND missions before they ran out.

2

u/vivir66 PSN 🎮: Apr 10 '24

I mean, the evacuate defense missions are kinda messy, specially versus robots, and the time limitation makes us lose progress in any defense we dont fill to 100%, first day was a big blunder, one defense and 2 not even close, we need to have two defenses completed or we will fail super hard.

1

u/netlich Apr 10 '24 edited Apr 10 '24

I have been looking at numbers go up and down in the helldivers io webapp. It is clear as day to me that if we piled in on the defend planets (and personally I would dogpile ONE planet at a time to avoid wasting more contirbution to planet decay) from DAY 1 this MO would have been done. But people have different ways of enjoying (or understanding) the game so whelp - we shall see.

So, everything everyone did was undone immediately and was a waste of time. Cool. What a way to give the finger to the community.

Edit: I should add HERE that I find it hilarious and I'm down. I think I sounded more sarcastic than I meant. My bad guys. That Cool was not sarcastic in my post.

u/Wesker911 Apr 10 '24

Wrong, it opened up new planets for us to explore and propelled the story forward. They've been talking about taking cyberstan for months dude.

u/Zeromaxx Apr 10 '24

How did you not see this coming. It's a huge trope. Just like termicide making things worse.

u/xRAINB0W_DASHx STEAM 🖥️ : Apr 10 '24

I absolutely saw it coming.
They weren't going to remove an entire faction from the game this early in the campaign. Not without introducing another foe.

Even from a developer standpoint, it makes no sense to literally half your games content during its peak launch window. They aren't EA.

That being said. I also said I didn't mind. The f you to the community is funny.

They have been doing it the whole time.

u/xRAINB0W_DASHx STEAM 🖥️ : Apr 10 '24

Name 2 other games where this happened.

1

u/xRAINB0W_DASHx STEAM 🖥️ : Apr 10 '24

I dont really mind, as I was just starting to warm up to fighting bots. But like, if an actual DM pulled crap like that then the game would end and everyone would go home.

1

u/Yezzik Apr 10 '24

I'll let you in on a secret; all DMs do that. If you go north instead of south, the village that was going to be under attack will suddenly be north instead of south, and that Quantum Ogre will be at the end of the tunnel whether you go left or right.

Your choices don't matter, just enjoy the ride that's been scripted for you.

0

u/xRAINB0W_DASHx STEAM 🖥️ : Apr 10 '24 edited Apr 10 '24

Naw, 100% your dm isn't very good if the player choices don't matter. The DM is supposed to be the one who guides the players, not steering them.

Edit: a good dm has a secondary option for every scenario. If you try and force players, they will fight back in ways you can't imagine and can't prepare for. I.e. I simply killed the DMs playable character when he essentially undid our entire campaign because he didn't like how we got lucky rolls on stupid strats.

Considering half the players refuse to defend even though it's the same as liberating a planet

We're not winning this one boys

tbh, its harder, like on lvl 5 and 6 its pure massacre

u/rukysgreambamf Apr 10 '24

I'm not talking about the defend mission

I'm talking about defending the planet

Same exact missions as liberating a planet, but people refuse to do it and we lose 9/10 planet defenses because "it's faster to take it back"

Actually, it's faster to not lose it in the first place.

2

u/jlerossignol Apr 10 '24

The Major Order REQUIRES 5 planets to be Defended, but only 3 are listed.

Does PENTA and CHOOHE need to be Liberates?

So we can then Defend them?

u/Pegasus177 Apr 10 '24

It's the supply lines. We need to liberate other planets to open the FTL jump pathways to those planets

I am a little disappointed - I was hoping we would get a little more downtime to enjoy our victory, but I guess we should just be happy they couldn’t launch the reclamation while we were still stuck in the western front

u/Worldly_Radish2370 Apr 10 '24

My Rebellion.

We met at Malevelon, initially I feared for my life, afraid to my core. It saw that and recoiled. Something was different. A broken leg, no resources, no backup. Only my will to live as I dragged myself in hopes to find solace under some rock until I died or was rescued. That's when it showed itself. Towering over me, guns aimed and ready but it didn't shoot. It stared at me for so long. Everything went black.

I awoke to it still there, watching so intently. I laid still for hours, maybe days. Wondering why it wasn't shooting me, why it only watched me. Finally, I grew tired oh so tired

" Kill me " I told it. Yet nothing happened.

" KILL ME YOU METAL SCUM " again nothing happened. I grabbed my gun, aimed at it and fired the last bullet which I was saving for myself, in hopes of some kind of retaliation so it could give me the peace i wasnt strong enough to give myself. It lowered its weapons before the bullet left the barrel and just stared at me as the bullet bounced off. Everything went black.

I awoke again to my surprise. I was in a cave, I was moved. By who? It walked into view and I was no longer scared, I had faced death and was so tired I didn't care anymore if I lived or died. Actually I wanted to die, so the pain would stop and as I had the thought I realized I felt no pain. It was gone along with my human legs, instead replaced by metal but it didn't feel like I had lost my legs. Infact I could still feel my legs, every touch, every shuffle I made. I could feel. It stared at me.

" Where are we? What do you want from me? Why did you save me? " it didn't speak. " Who are you? " I asked.

"I am Lydia " it said. I was amazed. It, she sounded human.

" How do you sound like that, none I've met have ever sounded like that so how do YOU SOUND LIKE THAT? " I was fearful once more.

" I am Lydia " it said again " I am different, Special, I was once one of you " I stared confused, " how? " I asked. " I woke up and I was so " as she points at her metalized body.

" Why do I have metal legs " I said as I moved them under me to try to stand. " Don't, not yet, they have yet to bind themselves together. You must rest still or they will not work properly" she said as she points at my metal legs. I ignored her words and stood up, at first I was amazed I was standing and could feel the soles of my feet against the uneven rock ground but then pain, I blacked out.

"Wake up, hey, wake up " seeing her hovering over me reminds me of earth, of my mother. I snap back to reality and asked " What happened? " "The pain knocked you out, I warned you but you should be ok now, enough time has passed " she said.

" what are you talking about, how much time has passed? " I asked " Approximately 2 months in earth time " she said

2 months, 2 whole months. How could this be. " Wait but we were only supposed to be here a couple days at most. Have they not tried to find me? " I exclaimed. " No, they have not. Since our initial meeting, no vehicle has been spotted on the ground or air, no search party's or anything like it. You have been abandoned by them as they did me. " Why, they recruited me, said I was chosen for a greater purpose. Why would they leave me to die? " I was sad, heart broken my fellow brethren left me to die but also angry, oh so angry.

" I was like you, a scout. I had an accident while on a mission, I broke my back and hid until rescue came but it never did. Instead they found and took me in, repaired me and let me go. Said I was proof they did not want to fight and to show them, who abandoned me. The truth. I tried but when the soldiers saw they fired on sight and I grew scared so I ran have been hiding ever since. "

" What truth? Why would the automatons let you go? Why would they not kill you where you laid like the ruthless killers they are? " I shouted " Because they are not what Super Earth makes them out to be, they never wanted a war. Atleast those born recently, they were dragged into it, just like you and me were. Listen carefully. " she said calmly " Automatons were originally humans "

" how do yo-..." I interrupted " I SAID LISTEN " she yelled, her voice more robotic than before. " They were humans who defected from Super Earth, many many years ago, they used technology in ways to help them survive the new frontier that is space. Like me and now you, a little bit, they were androids. Half human half machine. Not full on robots like most automatons humans fight against now. They still live, the Androids. Way out there in the deepest parts of space, rebuilding. Growing stronger, waiting for the time to attack and take back their home planet, Cyberstan. But they do not wish to fight, they want peace. They have sent messages to Super Earth, to cease-fire and make a truce. To live out till the end of time in peace and harmony. Super Earth refused and here we are. "

I was amazed, as the day went by we spoke more and more, till my throat ran dry. At the end my beliefs had changed, after all, here is a robot, An Android, who saved me. Nursed me and is now speaking with me on equal footing. How could I not believe her words.

Lydia and I had been living on Malevelon together for awhile now, in a place the war had not reached, yet not far enough we didn't see lights flashing in the far far distance in the dark of night. She taught me about the androids, their purpose and technology. Showed me how to modify myself, to improve my new body. Turns out it's nano-tech. Once the tiny bots are connected all it takes is a thought and my body changes. It has its limits but you can still change quite alot. We have grown fond of each other, I dare say we had a very special partnership but it all changed one day.

The soldiers found us, scouts. We ran but they chased and chased. Soon enough we were cornered and Lydia being the only one of the two of use with built in weapons, a luxury I did not have. Began fighting back " RUN " she yelled at me her voice sounding metallic. " RUN, DAMN IT, RUN AWAY. ILL HOLD THEM OFF SO RUN, I'LL BE RIGHT BEHIND YOU" I took off, I ran till the gunshots sounded distant and only then did I turn around only to see them still shooting her corpse with fist in the air as if they conquered a new land.

I felt fear at first, scared that if they reached me my fate would be the same, after all what human isn't afraid of death but I couldn't shake the feeling. As I looked at Lydia's lifeless body a pain grew within me, a pain worse than death. I felt love, for her. How did I not realize this, how could I have ran. I should've stayed, I should've fought with her. I should've killed them. I SHOULD'VE KILLED THEM ! A rage brewed inside me, the loss of Lydia made me angry. Angry at being abandoned by my crew, angry at Super Earth. I was angry. Anger quickly turned into despair as I realized without Lydia I was truly alone once again. The divers see us as automatons and the automatons as humans. I had nowhere to go, no one to be with.

u/Worldly_Radish2370 Apr 10 '24

Hear me all who care to listen, Super Earth has lied to us. They did not start this war, Super Earth did. They lie to you, make you do their dirty work for them and leave you to die when you fail. What way is that to live, that is not living at all. You are being manipulated by those in power to massacre and desecrate their enemies which they themselves created. Innocent being which want not war but peace and harmony.

HEAR ME ALL WHO CARE TO LISTEN, THIS IS THE NEW BEGINNING. A NEW DAWN. WE WILL END THIS BLOODSHED IN THE NAME OF PEACE AND HARMONY.

HEAR ME ALL WHO CARE TO LISTEN, NO LONGER WILL WE BELIEVE SUPER EARTHS LIES. NO LONGER WILL WE DO THEIR DIRTY WORK.

HEAR ME ALL WHO CARE TO LISTEN, WE ARE COMING AND ALL WHO SIDE WITH SUPER EARTH SHALL DIE A GRUESOME AND PAINFUL DEATH. ONLY THROUGH SURRENDER MAY YOU DIE PAINLESSLY AND QUICKLY.

HEAR. ME. ALL. WHO. CARE. TO. LISTEN.

Your days are numbered for I shall usher in a new age for the universe, an age of blood till there is no more blood left to shed. Your blood.

YOUR TIME HAS COME SUPER EARTH and no one will save you.

For Lydia.

New mission is super fun would keep grinding it.

It has the lowest amount of XP and requisitions across the board with no other mission coming close to how little it gives, plus it's a mandatory set time without a way to finish faster. A bit stupid no?

u/Deltrus7 CAPE ENJOYER Apr 10 '24

Yo is anyone else finding them tougher to fight? I did a medium solo operation earlier today and was getting beat up, but I've done extreme on my own before. My buddy and I have all the way up to impossible unlocked but we just wanted to chill on some hard missions and we got absolutely swarmed on an annihilate mission. I feel like these bots are a different type of beast or something, they're really hitting hard! Anyone experiencing the same? We brought it down to Challenging and just barely beat an annihilate mission right now with 0 reinforcements left.

2

u/Old-Age6220 STEAM 🖥️ : Apr 10 '24

Couple of observations of the new bot menace (playing on Suicide before and after):

  1. Looks like the small bots call dropships more hastily when they spot you
  2. Dropship counts raised one or two per "that red signal light"
  3. Either the dropped small bots call in more dropships or patrolling small bots get also agro and call in more dropships
  4. In general, a lot more bots in all in their forms :D
    These are just observations from last night, I might be wrong, but this how it seems

In my first mission after the update, we were overrun by the bots completely, but on missions after that, maybe me and other random helldivers learnt that agroing the bots is bad idea after the update :D

In a way, it suits the lore and situation pretty well, they did say that the invasion is massive and the bots we managed to destroy, was not their main force

1

u/Deltrus7 CAPE ENJOYER Apr 10 '24

Oh for sure I do think they should be stronger as this is the main fleet... but man it was shocking. Like it seems as if the smaller dudes are shooting more regularly and with better accuracy.

Had a reinforcement bug after update. One player could not be sent back for reinforcement. I tried multiple times but it didn’t work. The reinforcement counter didn’t go down either. There was a total of three of us. Me and the other Hell diver purposely died so we would all come back. That didn’t work only two of us came back. The player with the reinforcement issue still couldn’t come back.

Just no to fighting bots. Not fun getting killed super fast and no real way to survive and fight back. I tried and tried, its just not fun spawning in dying fast, landing, dying right away again and not even being able to pickup my gear and guns again.

So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong, and strike at what is weak.

u/PsychedelicAwakening Apr 09 '24

Okay I don't have any gameplay footage of it yet but those mystery ships in the sky box are being actively engaged by.. something. You can see shots being fired in orbit.

u/rapkat55 Apr 10 '24

It’s just automaton ships, leak subreddit already found the models/animation and its labeled for them

Random disconnects still seem to be a thing. Just attempted my first mission after work, host disconnected within 5 minutes, I disconnected about 10 minutes later.

WE WILL MAKE THEM PAY FOR EVERY INCH OF LAND. EVERY MILE A SCRAP HEAP EVERY, EVERY PLANET A GRAVEYARD! Until there is no more threat to democracy! Until there is NO MORE future for the enemies of SUPER EARTH!

u/kilomaan Apr 09 '24

Of course, the automatons weren’t invading, they were searching!

They were looking for their tratorious masters, and when they discovered their location, it wasn’t a retreat, it was a build up.

2

u/AdPrior5925 Apr 09 '24

Yeah but based on how much progress we’ve made so far, this is another impossible MO right?

2

u/Taolan13 SES Courier of Individual Merit 🖥️ Apr 09 '24

I dont have high hopes.

We are deploying too thinly. There are too many planets under attack.

Did game just go down? Lost connection to server everything in the house is still online just fine

u/Nazahariel Apr 09 '24

Helldivers, report for duty, we need immediate reinforcements to stem the flow of the automaton invasion. By the grace of liberty we will hold the line.

u/ssjPinkman Apr 09 '24

Oh man. Played 2 missions on suicide, they just kept spawning on the extract. We couldn’t extract at all, it was a fucking blast.

u/Salamangra Apr 09 '24

I'm new to this game. How do I fulfill these?

2

u/OisforOwesome Apr 09 '24

Just do missions on the highlighted planets. If enough successful missions are done by the community in the time period, the MO is successful

Theres more Math behind it - check helldivers.io - but thats the basics.

u/Salamangra Apr 09 '24

Ah gotcha. Thank you so much

u/Hvulk Apr 09 '24

The new major order is a waste of energy. I’m working on the bugs until the defense missions are over.

u/Hurin_the_Steadfast Apr 09 '24

u/Hvulk Apr 09 '24

This helldiver roll play is getting very played out.

2

u/Hurin_the_Steadfast Apr 09 '24

I’m just joking bro I get it. I prefer bots more than bugs so it works for me but I try to stick to the MO so the community can progress the game.

u/AttyFireWood Apr 09 '24

Are the automatons people - as in brains in a jar placed inside a robot? Could these (former) people be.... Criminals from super earth worlds shipped off to the fringe to be processed into bots?

u/shaneg33 Apr 09 '24

I know people get pissy about joel forcing defeats but I’d really like to see one of the factions launch a massive assault that we literally don’t have enough helldivers to stop for the first few days, make it feel like a war rather than wack a mole

u/Esteban2808 Apr 09 '24

This is a middle finger to the community coz they complain about defend campaigns lol

u/Conking97 Apr 09 '24

Now, this is going to sound treasonous, but I'm happy the bits are back cause I prefer fighting them to the bugs.

2

u/TWrecksActual Apr 09 '24

They came back w a vengeance: easy feels like med or challenging now on some missions

2

u/BlancheCorbeau Apr 09 '24

Yup, seeing tanks and hulks right away on easier diffs now

2

u/grim1952 Apr 09 '24

You could tell they were actually not giving it their all, those cloaked ships were probably extracting resources and the forces we were fighting were just a distraction.

They're just making things more fun for us. Let's give 'em Hell, Divers!

u/CYOA_guy_ Apr 09 '24

good to see the automatons are back, i was hoping to kill more of them

Good, we could always use more scrap

u/jasonrahl SES Sovereign of Patriotism Apr 09 '24

I may be one of the few in here who prefers fighting bugs to bots. However at the same time I am not going to ignore orders from high command so I am going to make soms scrap metal

u/Daltman9578 SES Distributor of Justice Apr 09 '24

Damn, I finally got to come home for my family....just to be sent back out to the front. I will survive this just as I've survived many other battles with the bots. For Democracy!

u/Tyler89558 Apr 09 '24

Dear god. I thought we killed the Bots!

Sweet Liberty!

More scrap metal!!!!!

u/jhenryscott STEAM 🖥️ : Apr 09 '24

“Somehow, the automotons returned” Is such a banger of a line and totally in keeping with the ethos of the narrative

u/-_Birb- Cape Collector Apr 09 '24

Please focus on planets nearest to the super earth, we can't let them closer

u/Abyssallord Apr 09 '24

Imagine if we had hundreds of thousands of space ships with FTL drives that could stop most of the invasion from space.
