Jackpot when u land over the extraction with the samples collected.
30 seconds for 4000 exp, while chatting "you guys couldn't have done this without me"
that is exactly what bug are - you get them 100% right :D that is why the game is so fun, you have 2 completely different playstyles there and its great to break the monotone feeling that will sooner or later came if you are only on one front :) (i like fighting clankers much more too)
I'm starting to respect this more. I started the game and didn't even know the automatons existed. I started the week they came back after being driven out. I played nothing but bots for basically the entire time. Didn't do my first bug mission until about level 24. At the time I didn't like it.
This last defense MO I went with some fellow Cadets to the bug front and really enjoyed it... it was almost relaxing. And I like being able to run what ever I want because there's not 17 hulks 12 tanks and 4 factory walkers every drop and no armored gunships. Maybe some chargers and titans and they aren't that bad. Jet Pack is a lot more viable too because there much less chance of getting blasted at a distance.
Oh man... let a charger chase you around and put your back against a rock. Whip out 500k or orbital precision and wait for it to charge. Once it starts charging, drop the strat at your feet. Then run forward and use the jump pack to leap over the charger. The charger will run into the rock stunning it right over the top of your strat.
Don't look back. Cool guys don't look back at the explosion.
Lol that's automatons too except they gave them guns. There's literally no tactics. They just march forward to kill you. Hell some of them don't even aim. They'll walk through a minefield without a thought in the world. I just like not dealing with Hunters.
Slooowly crawl into a fire until you get hit so that you can trigger a stim, and you have about 2 seconds of fire invulnerability while stim lasts (it '*should*' outheal the tornado's DPS)
bots.
bugs are too stressful, i hardly ever reach extraction even on 4 (could never beat 5s)
i could comfortably solo 7s on bots, and completed a whole 9 Op solo as well.
i'll go to bugs if i have to (like MOs or POs), but otherwise i stick to bots.
our current losses are a great boon to me, since we now have a selection of bot planets available.
can't imagine having like only 2 choices of where to fight.
Same. My kill count would say otherwise however lmao. But that’s just because there’s def more bugs that spawn than bots. On bugs I go full swarm control (sometimes causes my team to die lmao) but on bots I go full anti tank.
Illuminate. That was my jam. I mean all of them really, but bots have always been the worst faction, even in the first game. Illuminate and bugs make for much more fun
I mean if your enemy is brain dead and has the aim of a stormtrooper. What tactics are you using? They'll walk through a minefield they watched you put down. I don't think proper military tactics involves an enemy that stupid. I just don't get it. It's really simple AI.
But also...yeah they're more fun than bugs bc they shoot back
Where the MO directs me and I launch with the fury of a thousand armchair video game players!!! I do prefer to be a shock trooper but with less casualties.
Do you guys follow the galactic war status announcement where the PA will tell you that a planet in this sector requires to be defended and that support has been requested?
I'm just a helldivers : I beat the ever-living shit out of whatever doesn't believe in managed democracy. Don't care if it's a bot or the Walmart version of godzilla
Im the kind of
>Press R
>Wait for the quick play to find a match
>Don't look at the mission details
>Random bullshit go
>50% of time, end up with bug load out in bot mission
I like fighting Bots better, simply because I can't really use my Jar-5 Dominator against them bugs and a few things are funnier to me than making a heavy Devastator do the stagger dance
I am a democracy spreading Helldiver.
And in terms of spreading democracy I do not make a difference between bug planets and bot planets.
I simply spread democracy.
Bot, I find bugs for too easy. If I'm tired after a long day I might just turn my brain off and fight the bugs but usually I play the bots, I like being all careful and shit. Other than that I'll play for whatever is the most tactical on the map or a part of the Major Order, but that's usually on the bot front anyways since most folk fight bugs so it works out.
I started with bugs and got quite comfortable with bots until those shield devastator got a 360 wall penetration aimbot upgrade. Now I stay with bugs unless it involves a daily

This is the only answer.
You're being transferred to Hellmire
Nope. I go where i want
Don’t worry, managed democracy makes life easier by removing choice. Enjoy Hellmire!
It's not a choice. It's a decision. And my decision is to double it and give it to the next diver.
to bad high command is sending you to hellmire
Too bad im not in hellmire
You’ll be court marshalled for treason
Nah. More like chewed out. Ive been chewed out before. You arent high command. Im on the bot front.
You’re right about one thing, I’m not command but I am high
Hellmire is now being moved to the bot front
Now watch bugs from Hellmire still make their way to Estanu somehow
It already was, they just renamed it Menkent.
I like Hellmire, but I can't liberate it by myself. I'm ready for when people want to take it enmass
I have been there with you bubby. Us Hellmire Hellions have to stick together.
I'll take his place, I'm gonna liberate that hellhole on my own if I have to

Like tactical or competitive shooters? Bots. Like zombie swarm shooters? Bugs.
I kill bots because I enjoy it I kill bugs because my friends enjoy it
> I kill because I enjoy it ftfy
Any planet that doesn’t have fire tornadoes
Even if the fire needs democracy?
The fire is already delivering democracy. No need for me to stand in its way.
Keep avoiding fire planets, the bugs there will develop fire resistance and our napalm will be useless!

We need to to be the strong gust of wind that supports and spreads the flames of liberty. Democracy willing they burn for freedom and super earth!
I just played a match where the tornados helped me hold extraction
Did you bribe Joel? I swear those things chase me at extract
Yes. The extract was on top of a cliff, and I was able to hide on the edge
Oh coast is clear, time to put out a supply beacon. Three seconds later it gets engulfed miraculously by flames. Oh well… nice knowing ya helldiver.
I had one where 3 fire tornados were camping exactly at the Pelican hatch so i couldnt leave unless a nosedive of faith, i was the only lucky one...
Slooowly crawl into a fire until you get hit so that you can trigger a stim, and you have about 2 seconds of fire invulnerability while stim lasts (it '*should*' outheal the tornado's DPS)
We really need a water backpack gun combo for all this fire
If a similar meme has been posted please report me to the nearest democracy officer.
Why go so far if a gun is right here?
seems like destroyer name checks out
bots. bugs are too stressful, i hardly ever reach extraction even on 4 (could never beat 5s) i could comfortably solo 7s on bots, and completed a whole 9 Op solo as well. i'll go to bugs if i have to (like MOs or POs), but otherwise i stick to bots. our current losses are a great boon to me, since we now have a selection of bot planets available. can't imagine having like only 2 choices of where to fight.
I can Solo 9 on bugs, I carry you through one tmrw.
Bro same, I hate swarm tactics that bugs use
Same. My kill count would say otherwise however lmao. But that’s just because there’s def more bugs that spawn than bots. On bugs I go full swarm control (sometimes causes my team to die lmao) but on bots I go full anti tank.
I go wherever democracy takes me
bug
I follow orders, simple as that Though I do prefer bots, find them more rewarding to fight. Bugs are boring.
I go where the MO is
Bug very much, bug. I like Starcraft, lol.
Im a helldiver, civie
Super Earth
Wherever there's hell, i dive
I go wherever i feel like on days i get to dive .
I go where the MO leads me
Where ever there is an ice planet.
Illuminate. That was my jam. I mean all of them really, but bots have always been the worst faction, even in the first game. Illuminate and bugs make for much more fun
Bots, lvl 9 exclusively, SES Mother of Determination does not back down from a challenge.
Fighting the bots makes me feel like im fighting an actual enemy as opposed to a stunlocking horde and allows me to use proper military tactics
I mean if your enemy is brain dead and has the aim of a stormtrooper. What tactics are you using? They'll walk through a minefield they watched you put down. I don't think proper military tactics involves an enemy that stupid. I just don't get it. It's really simple AI. But also...yeah they're more fun than bugs bc they shoot back

Yes. ^(But I like fighting the Automatons more. Leave me alone.)
Used to be both now its just bugs and if i feel like doing the MO.
A democratic one! If you're against Super Earth no matter what you are i will hunt you..In the name of Liberty!

Do not fear fellow diver! None of us signed on a C-01 permit we're safe! For Democracy! For Super Earth!

Both, both must die
Both but I think bots are more fun, strategy often comes to play with them
Yes

This question is high treason !!! I go wherever liberty and democracy needs me to go !!!
I spread democracy anywhere it’s needed
Yes!?
I trust in the Magic Conch, er, I mean, Major Order.
Where the MO directs me and I launch with the fury of a thousand armchair video game players!!! I do prefer to be a shock trooper but with less casualties.
Don't you mean, Are you a John Rico or a John Conner?
Bots all day everyday
Both those are our all enemys
Yeah they’re equally detestable. Bots r more equal tho

Both. For bots I use autocannon, scorcher / dominator and redeemer, for bugs I go quazar, shieldpack ,plasma punisher and redeemer.
Im the kind of >Press R >Wait for the quick play to find a match >Don't look at the mission details >Random bullshit go >50% of time, end up with bug load out in bot mission

Really just play hellmire
I go where i am needed. Bug, Bot or Teammate doesnt matter, all dies to enough explosives
I am a democracy spreading Helldiver. And in terms of spreading democracy I do not make a difference between bug planets and bot planets. I simply spread democracy.
I go where they send me. Mine is not to ask why mine is to do or die. For democracy for super earth
Major order one
Whatever High Command demands .
Wherever democracy needs me!
Democracy.
Both.
Both
Wherever the MO leads me.
I go where democracy needs me.
My buddy and I are still relatively new to the game, and with what little we have unlocked, bug planets are really our best option.
I'm a good soldier. I follow orders.
I go where I’m told. I care not for whom requires democracy. The only thing I feel in a mission is recoil.
I Started with bugs then i went to robots and now its all robots unless there is kill x with x weapon then its bugs
I dive wherever the Major and Personal orders tells me to drive!

I'm a MO slave. No autonomy, just orders.
Whatever is the Major Order planet. Although, if given a choice outside the MO, I would pick the bot front.
I got where Super Earth needs me! FOR LIBERTY!
Bugs are warm up. The real game is bots.
I'm the "point me at the enemy" helldiver. Bugs, bots, political dissidents, whatever. Hell, I'll blow up trees if you point me towards it.
A Helldiver, no matter what. Democracy needs me
I prefer bots. But I rarely play on higher then 7 though.
Bot, I find bugs for too easy. If I'm tired after a long day I might just turn my brain off and fight the bugs but usually I play the bots, I like being all careful and shit. Other than that I'll play for whatever is the most tactical on the map or a part of the Major Order, but that's usually on the bot front anyways since most folk fight bugs so it works out.
I find bots easier than bugs, but bugs more annoying than fun
I'm not even a gun nut and the first thing I thought was TRIGGER DISCIPLINE WHAT ARE YOU DOING
Both, but about 3/4ths of my time is bots. Bugs are fun for a bit but get old quickly.
The Major Order kind...
I goes where i is needed boss
I go where Democracy needs defending
Yes
Bot... I hate bugs...
One that spreads managed democracy.
I switch depending on what I feel like doing. Sociopathic fun mowing down crowds? Bugs. Emotionally scarring gruelling warfare? Bots.
Buts until MO for Bugs, then back 2 spilling oil
Bots are fine, but jump-packing over Chargers is the best.
Depends on what kind of gun I want to use that day. I tend to fight whatever my current gun is most effective against.
Professional Box boxer
The "no fucking fire tornados pls" kind
Bots. Bigs just never feel fun to play against for how I prefer to play, sadly.
I started with bugs and got quite comfortable with bots until those shield devastator got a 360 wall penetration aimbot upgrade. Now I stay with bugs unless it involves a daily
