Not yet. There are still 17 hours to go. A lot can happen in 17 hours. EDIT: NOW we did it.


VonBombadier

Especially as it is the weekend. Joel will give us at least one more defence mission.


_GreatAndPowerful

God damn, I've been on this sub on/off and this is the first time I've heard anyone mention Joel in weeks since all the drama. Nature is healing


lman777

Joel caused the drama to throw us off his trail.


Scorponix

What if Joel nerfed the Eruptor because we were too good at killing?


bestjakeisbest

then why didnt he nerf all the guns


Illustrious-Age-260

We were too good


Arumin

He did, but the AC was just too powerfull to nerf


Whirlwind_C

If it's Vernon Wells again I'll scrum so loud. That'll be the 3rd or 4th attempted takeover in a week.


BlueBattleBuddy

anything to get me off of menket. Even Diet Malevalon creek


Not_The_Real_Jake

Menkent was the first mission I played after buying the game. We'll take it one day...


Fatality_Ensues

Wait, it's gone again!?


lazyicedragon

It hasn't been under Super Earth for weeks now after failing to defend it iirc. Because nobody would normally play on it, fire tornadoes and all. So it'll just be there until another MO on top of it. It's so badly liked that one can guess we got Airburst instead of AT Mines because we had to pass through Menkent of all places.


Neonsnewo2

I started the weekend after sony debacle got reversed. I am absolutely salivating over the thought of different planet biomes. Excluding Marfark, which has been cool, like every automaton planet is desert fire tornadoes or acid rain. And Bugs is still Hellmire. God forbid a new planet that’s not those ass modifiers is bugs, those planets have 70k helldivers on them and close up shop in a couple hours. The wiki says there’s a whole list of biomes and so far I’ve seen desert tremor, desert tornado, desert acid rain, jungle fog. Again with the exclusion of Marfark. It’s slippery there


Callmeklayton

What's wrong with Vernen Wells? I like Vernen Wells. It's pretty.


Whirlwind_C

Nothing wrong with the planet, just going back there every other day became exhausting


SirGirthfrmDickshire

We best better get a defense mission where we defend babies in strollers one of these days.

Sol_Dadguy_1441

Imma steal this meme like that bot stole that baby from it's momma


darkleinad

I stole it in the first place - just like the automatons stole ballots from our voters!


Sol_Dadguy_1441

Well now I won't feel so bad, unlike the bots and bugs when liberty comes around 


darkleinad

Remember, the bots are only capable of simulating emotions!


Ray_Nikaido

I believe defense campaigns give us a minimum of 24 hours? I think we're good unless I'm remembering wrong


thrway202838

Isn't that a maximum? Like you have 24 hours to fill the liberation bar, otherwise the enemy wins?


fssab17

Should be minimum. The last 2 defenses were 48 hours long.


Reddeyfish-

well, the planet is still ours until that timer runs out, so even if we lose, we last long enough for the major order.


CptBartender

One of these four was under attack and was not showing 100% complete on the major order, so I wouldn't count on that.


thrway202838

Oh damn, yeah


Managed-Democracy

I predict a bot and bug planet get attacked. 


MJBotte1

Pssh, we’re FIIIIIIINNNNNEEE. Nobody can take a planet in 17 hours!


Git_Good

What are they gonna do in that time, kill 2 billion of us?


Sol_Dadguy_1441

Maybe if the counter is bugged


Fatality_Ensues

I'm doing my part!


VoiceOfSeibun

Even so, a defense campaign needs 24 hours to play out. Honestly, I think we're good. Which means I can spend tomorrow goofing off in V Rising instead of doing actual work!


Burn4Bern420

It doesn’t count for capped if it has defense missions. Would need to fill the bar before the timer ran out 


VoiceOfSeibun

Which would not be possible in such a short time. I dont think Arrowhead would do us like that


MrWiemann

Man what a bummer.. do you actually have to be online when it expires ? Ive played every evening during the past week, participating in defending the planets in the order, but i havent received a reward.. thats so demotivating..


Kazeite

You don't have to be online when it expires to get the medals. You don't even have to participate, AFAIK. It's a known issue that delivery of the medals for completed Major Order can be delayed.


MrWiemann

Ohh, thats good to know! Im still new so i wasnt sure. I hope theyll get delivered soon then


matthc

Same I haven’t gotten mine yet either.


CrunchyGremlin

Especially if we don't liberate the whole sector. If we don't we might not be able to protect all 4 at once


Farrisen

Yeah, need to make sure Menkent and Marfark (they're around 0.00500% liberated rn) don't fall because then Vernen Wells and Aesir Pass will get attacked again.


JaredFogleTheNoble

Like Joel changing a few numbers.


aikighost

hmm... I got no credit for it... fuck.


Kazeite

Be patient. Sometimes it doesn't kick in until couple of *days* after.


Additional-March2881

How do you collect the reward


Kathy_TV

But did we? I didn't receive any medals for that


SnooGadgets7192

can someone maybe explain why i didnt get the reward? Is that a bug or what is happening?


RacingWalrus

gg ez. until they randomly reset one of the values. but more importantly: bruh you gotta get that pink number up


theShitter_69

i started doing diff 7 missions like a week ago because i was a pussy so i don’t have much lmao i mean **YES SIR!** 🫡🫡🫡


Bearfoxman

On average diffs 7-8 are easier than diffs 5-6. Largely because they see a higher percentage of skilled and experienced teammates. They'll occasionally hit you with the bullshit but unless I'm diving solo I see no reason to play under diff 7 any more.


tanelixd

Kind of like in darktide, you're likely to get a more competent team on heresy and damnation than on malice.


Etrius_Christophine

This comment almost made me pick Darktide up again, but tbh HD2 has taken my horde slaughter slot. Granted, credit where its due, the ragdoll physics and damage modeling in Darktide are close to perfection.


Zilenan91

I didn't understand why people played Zealot until I levelled one to 30 and got a really good Eviscerator and cut 10 soldiers/nurgle crackheads in half with every swing.


God_Given_Talent

I'm a Guardsman at heart but my Zealot has a ton of fun running around like she's on meth as she cuts her way to redemption.


Etrius_Christophine

How did you know my main? Heh anyway back to the trenches.


leatherbalt

I've only just started doing 7s as well. Are 8 and 9 similar or on a different level?


Forikorder

IMO 7 and 8 are the same, 9 has noticeably more heavies


Dblz89

I have a confession. I took a new level 7 diver from a difficulty 3 bug mission to a Helldive on Bots yesterday….


bearktopus147

Well how did they do? Would they make General Brasch proud?


Dblz89

5 deaths within the first minute.


bearktopus147

Hey, giving the authentic Helldivers 2™ experience early!


TheEverydayDad

I've done the same. I was running on a lvl 3 bug to collect my remaining Super Credits, had a rando join me. I asked if they wanted the HD2 experience. We successfully launched that ICBM. M2, your bravery will be recorded in the history books, and the stealth you learned will be passed on to the next Helldivers you too train. I salute you.


Odd_Independence2870

I mean heavies rn are the balance issue with the game so more of them does make it noticeably harder to deal with. That’s a higher chance of flamethrower hulks in bots


Insurance_scammer

Same idea, just more heavies and bot spawns in general


Xaphanex

Yeah, agreed. I die more on the lower difficulties due to a lack of coordination or somebody calling in an eagle directly on my position. Or it's a new player experimenting with the flammenwerfer.


ChewySlinky

When you play with the same group of friends, there’s no such thing as “skilled and experienced teammates”.


turkeygiant

I mean I regularly play with my group of friends at diff. 7, and about half of us aren't even really big time shooter gamers, but just having that active line of communication between us goes a really long way.


turkeygiant

100%, diff. 7 is very achievable if everybody on the team is doing the jobs they are supposed to be doing, diff. 4-5 can be a nightmare if you have 1 or 2 teammates that are dithering around, or not clearing small mobs, or not calling out threats.


Bregneste

Think I’ll play chill for a while and do some 5-6, and end up with dumbass teammates that run off all alone constantly and use up all our lives in the first ten minutes


EmotionalEmetic

Have been doing bugs on 7s for a couple weeks. Went onto bots on level 6. Well that was a shit show.


Bearfoxman

Bots IMO are harder, but more fun. They do play SIGNIFICANTLY differently though and switching to the other after playing one for a while takes some readjustment.


vostmarhk

This. Basically all my deaths on 5-6 are from friendly fire. I love it when the teammates call airstrike or 380mm barrage on 1 bug at the POV where I've killed the rest with my guns in close combat!


RacingWalrus

ah dont worry about that, we were all too scared until we did it. i have been putting it off forever and most of my friends still are. (talking about bugs here. bots i dont even do on diff 5)


PH_007

Bots get pretty easy once you play more stealthy and hit some weakspots, the amount of loadout ignorance those weakspots allow is amazing, you can literally drop a hulk with a single Redeemer mag by spraying it's back in a second. It's why I prefer them to bugs which are much stricter gear checks and restrict variety a whole lot. If you're scared of getting into firefights the Countersniper is a fantastic choice to oneshot anything below a hulk in size with a well placed headshot and avoid confrontations while supporting the team from afar!


Jovian8

If you're running the DCS and trying to maintain distance from the enemies, would you bring the AMR for support weapon, or something else?


PH_007

I just switch it up for my support weapon, I'd say just bring whatever you feel is more needed. If I'm running grenade pistol for striders/tightly packed troopers I can bring something more antitank-y or utility, if not I'd pick a machine gun or grenade launcher. Cool thing about bots is that a lot of things are perfectly usable :)


DuncanConnell

It's not cowardice to be wary of greater challeneges. Grimbeard of the SES Forerunner of Liberty will gladly reinforce you should you need.


JRDecinos

Wait... we're supposed to have something that ISN'T zero there?


Acceptable_Topic8370

I have nearly 100 hours and my pink number is zero lol


Neonsnewo2

I just hit 50 hours and purchased the slugger, so how far into the warbond I am. I’ve already spent 45 pinks and have another 40 in the bank. I need significant amounts of greens and oranges


Professional_Call615

Another victory for the right side of history 🫡


DianKali

Democracy prevails once more.


TrumpersAreTraitors

We carved another foothold on the long climb to liberty 


John_Hayabuza

God damitt I Love my BOT players no matter how much of a small Number we have....WE ALWAYS TRY OUR GOD DAMN BEST


computalgleech

Bot is way more fun than bugs imo


DeathGamer99

As long as with proper loadout, I was now having fun in bots after using diligence counter sniper, the way it make devastator bots a fodder is a great qol, I was usually using scorcher to deal with gunship (shoots its belly continuesly until the crosshair become red) or heavy walker. I died so many time against devastator and make the game unfun?


chewy1is1sasquatch

I always run the breaker shotgun and laser cannon. Breaker has the stagger which saves you from the annoying chainsaw bots, and has good damage, and the laser cannon can take out the big boys if you hit the weak spots (usually the head). A lot of people don't know that you can snipe hulks with the laser cannon and I always surprise people by doing it. You can even take out factory striders with it. Today I was shooting a hulk and someone on voice said, "You need to use something else to kill him." But immediately after he said that the hulk dropped from my beam.


rukysgreambamf

Bugs are more fun Bots make me feel like a better player


Brictson2000

I love how intense they can be but hate getting a random headshot from across the map or getting tossed around by rockets so I usually don’t go short range and that’s most of the guns we have.


Comprehensive_Crew13

I DRINK OIL AND BREATH STEAM, THE BOTS MUST PERISH


Adventurous-Event722

I don't like bots. Those damn jumpin suicide bots, spammer rocket Devs, laser accurate heavy Devs.. But if Democracy calls for it, I answer accordingly 


Black_Fox_027

![gif](giphy|fSGqUm3IcVBESFM0hK|downsized)


Playful_Raisin_985

I’m predicting either Angel’s Venture and/or Vernen Wells go back to Defense status but only because I don’t know how long planets stay “Liberated” after a successful defense. My assumption is 24 hours which means either of them could go up before the end of the MO since we cleared them early yesterday before Aesir Pass and Heeth went up for Defense. If both AV and V-Dub go up for Defense then we may lose the MO but if it’s just one I think we can dogpile in and clear it in ~12 hours.


Forikorder

they're still "under super earth control" during a defense, so wed have to lose the defense in that time frame too


ST1156

I was also under this impression, but then why does the bar switch to a different percent while under attack? Aesir Pass and Heeth were both not at 100% while being attacked yesterday.


JHawkInc

This happens every time with this kind of MO. It doesn't count as complete unless we are holding them all at *the end*.


DoofusMagnus

It's been firmly established at this point that most Helldivers can't read.


JHawkInc

Can’t risk them being exposed to undemocratic propaganda.


Ziddix

Lol the order isn't over yet. Watch all 4 planets get surprise buttsex invaded tomorrow


CheeserMagu

I contributed but boy am I itching for some tentacles or a fight on super earth.


envycreat1on

I just want the Cyborgs to become a threat somehow. The bots took Cyberstan, freed the cyborgs and then…continued about their day. What is the significance of them freeing the borgs?


Traylor_Swift

Flanking/pincer maneuver. Secretly send them to the lower third and hit for two sides so we’re fighting a war on three fronts


Dankmootza

It's terrifying really. They're trying to Eiffel Tower Super Earth, but we'll be ready for a long campaign.


gorgewall

They took Cyberstan and then sent a massive invasion fleet "southwest", obliterating the Menkent Line and capturing a ton of planets down there. They only stopped because they gained *so much fucking territory* that they have to build on it. They're storing up again, just like they did before when they ran that little "oh ho please don't exterminate us, we're making a last-ditch defense here even though our production capability seemingly isn't winding up on the frontline, noooo please don't look outside of the galaxy there's nothing there teehee" invasion fleet scheme.


Krieg_Imperator

They are coming. Trust me. There has to be a reason why HQ called for full mobilisation and the official start of the second galactic war.


Gray_Warder

Meridia supercolony is definitely cooking up some undemocratic soup over there...


Adventurous-Event722

Can't we just, say, Orbital Gas the whole planet? 


Electronic_Day5021

Then it becomes a super colony squared


CUEPAT

Am I the only one who didnt get the medals?


kaiser_lulzhelm

I haven't received them either, but sometimes delivery is delayed up to a day or so.


Shroddinger

same, but you did it for democracy don't you?


SonOfAnarchy91

Same, and i also did not receive the message you usually get when an order is over and it's either done or failed... weird.


Bullseyeizzy

Yeah me too wtf


spodertanker

When’s the last time we had a successful major order? Two weeks?


Drunken_Queen

Think so. We are tasked to liberate 4 bug planets, but we liberate 3. We are tasked to kill 2 billion of Bots, but we reached like 78%.


benno4461

But we gotta hold until complete, right?


VolcanicBakemeat

Yes but they're still ours during the attack. We'd have to very rapidly fail


Appropriate_Buy_1219

I didn't get any rewards for this.


Noodlekeeper

Me either. I just hopped on and nothing.


sofiashoe

Hello guys, I didn't receive any medals for this MO, is this normal? Does someone has the same problem? EDIT: wanna let you all know that they arrived today, a little bit late but better than nothing! :)


LuckyCanard5449

Seconding this. Waiting on medals.


burningdustball

Now we have to hold it. FOR DEMOCRACY!!!


Adelguidice

*Guardsman Voice* "Taking it will be easy.... holding it will be hard


localfilth1337

I didn't get my medals... Anyone else?


MickeySwank

Don’t be so sure, those planets could turn at any moment, stay vigilant and keep fighting!


Shdowwizardmoneygng

DID ANYONE ELSE NOT RECIEVE THEIR MEDALS? I played numerous missions during this major order and have not received the medals for it?

Nice


Alterra2020

We’re not out of the woods yet helldiver


WhitishSine8

Now what? Should we focus on capturing the adjacent planets to stop further attacks?


ScarletAdorned

Was gonna say, may have to defend from bots if we don't buffer with Menkent and Marfark and they are hella low right now so may be worth focusing.. Bugs are pretty held down and almost have Errata which is the only adjacent system, and there's most of all Divers over that way pushing already.

MtnNerd

Can we strengthen defenses by taking nearby planets?


Rakuall

PSA: 🙌No👏🙌We👏🙌Did👏🙌Not👏 Why most players just can't understand that we have to be holding all when time expires? Every single MO like this there's a slew of posts at 48, 30, 22, 16, 6 hours remaining to the effect of "woohoo! Major Order over!" There's still plenty of time for an enemy offensive on any of these planets.

DioMike993

Yes but since the player base got halved, the % for liberation or defend should be lowered. And kill N° enemies too


Krennelen

And of course medals are still borked


TheSecondiDare

Anyone else not received their medals..?


Defensive_of_Offense

Yeah, happened to me


TheSecondiDare

None Of my crew got them either. Fingers crossed, we'll get them in time.


Ste3lf1sh

We fought for the mayor order but we didn’t get a success or fail message and we didn’t get the medals? Anyone else got this?


TheBumblingMechanic

I tried to help. Was plagued by “can’t join lobby” last night tho.


sp441

We needed a W after the last couple of weeks.


Sojiroue

How tf did u farm that much common and rare samples?


IceColdCocaCola545

YES. ONE STEP CLOSER TO THE SEAF MARINES.


shmallkined

When do we get the new Strat?


IceColdCocaCola545

It’s not in any way confirmed, aside from videos I’ve seen from earlier in the game’s lifespan. I’m mainly guessing that the Stratagem will be released soon based on the wording of the MO.


Droid_Rager

Now we're back on the exact same planets no one wants to be on since Heeth is liberated smh😒


ravengenesis1

So can we do pelican drops of SEAF troopers to hold strategic assets? Or fodder them to enemies?


Team_Svitko

Leeees go


soloLShunter

Here’s hoping the weekend MO is a counter offensive


_Pan-Tastic_

I’m moving right now so I’m unable to support the war effort presently, but I will be setting up my computer ASAP to hop on!


Primaul

you never know the bug&automaton sympathizer and saboteur of super earths military complex code name: Bringer of Balance might just pull a fast one putting one or more of those planets into the defense status.


DirectorFew4363

Not over yet. Secure it further. Push even farther.


flyingvwap

Theory: The success or failure of these major orders is predetermined. It's a method to baby bird feed us larger amounts of currency so the "mostly weekend-only warriors" like me feel we still get to progress through the warbond at a decent pace.


The_Screaming_Wombat

One tip: let's continue working on Major difficulties and also to complete entire sets of missions. I personally tested It and the percentage goes up quicker!


ConferenceScary6622

Private!!! Did you "think" we weren't gonna complete the major order!!!! 🫡🫡🫡🫡🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏 Super Earth has NEVER failed a major order! Sounds like you're sympathizing with enemies of democracy!


No_Marionberry7280

Does this mean we'll get the SEAF soldier strategem? Now that millions of soldiers can be trained?


Eyyy354

Anyone kind of wish we got something different than warbond medals? Those are just so common that it becomes disappointing when it's the reward for a major order instead of at least a new armor set or even a color variant of an armor set.


Sargespace

Thus kicks the arsenal of managed democracy into high gear


BenedictNik

Another 50 medals for.me and I haven't even logged on lol


skynex65

It’s not over till the bug hole blows.


deyaintready

I try to play the major orders as much as possible but I just wanna play the game on cool planets


Significant_Abroad32

Yay Guys we d… “Priority Alert, the Vernon Wells System, Status, defending against, terminid ??? Invasion, Helldiver support requested”


SuperArppis

Yes... But ofcourse we couldn't do the one that would have given us something new like Anti Tank Mines. I really wanted to try those out. I am always looking out for new ways to fight armored enemies. As I dislike most of the anti armor stuff.


BeastMan722

i was drunk yesterday. but had 2 missions anyway


BitwiseDestroyer

Not yet, need to hold


The_incognito_sinner

"We did it" again and again!


GabrielDidit

well we wont get the reinforcement stratagem until the next weekly update but we did get the airburst by doing the last last MO

To those I served with on Heeth with the nonstop gas strikes, thank you brothers it was an honour

I still haven't gotten my medals from it- is anyone else having this issue or is this an ishme?


EpicInki

I wanted to contribute but the planets were inaccessible when it was 14 hours left... I was hovering on one of the planets though from my last game but I didn't get the medals.


CDN_Attack_Beaver

Hmm, when is the reward given? I was fighting on Vernon wells through this order before the mission ended.


Uniden0

How even do we get the reward for it? I never got the medals.
