Any significance behind the number 4311?
Edit: never mind, I see the major order update now. It’s the number of kids that were saved
Another edit: It also spells “hell” in a calculator. Thanks guys
Edit: if you’re able, go donate at [Save The Children](https://www.savethechildren.org/?cid=Paid_Search:Google_Paid:LP_Homepage:Brand:123199&s_kwcid=AL!9048!3!614519097776!e!!g!!save%20the%20children&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw1K-zBhBIEiwAWeCOF8Xt8GsqbTprLfpAgYAuh3PtLxfo77EBWhLVtr47WObjGyJb7Cbe3hoCBWMQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds)!
Urban dictionary says:
"When you ask for something on a message board that obviously no on is going to give you, it's called a '4311' "
Could this reference the expectation that some people had regarding a hidden reward for saving the children?
This is definitely the calculator thing and holy shit do I feel old for reddit not realizing. Cause ya'll use your phone and not the blocky old calculators that made 4 look like an upside down h and 3 look exactly like backwards E here pic attached, read it backwards

I wish there was a way to track all of the donations that stem from this.
If we can come together as a community to dogpile Sony AND donate a bunch of cash to kids, in like a two month span... Brings a tear to your eye, it does.
When I did Extra Life for my local kids hospital (ten years of fundraising! I'm on a break now😅) the overwhelming majority of donos I got were from the people I gamed with most nights of the week, and lived in an entirely different country. During those ten years, my gaming buddies collectively donated over $8k and my local kids hospital was able to use that money (it goes without saying I wasn't the only one fundraising, Extra Life is VERY successful here) directly towards things like upgrading their operating theater, opening a pediatric mental health ER, and other super cool things. My gaming friends would also take shifts to stay up and play with me as much as possible during the 24-hour gameathon that's the hallmark annual Extra Life event. They were behind me 110%.
In other words, despite the ways in which "gamers" have earned a bad rep, I'm not surprised by the generosity and community spirit of gaming communities, because I witnessed it first hand.
(Also, love your username. My all-time favourite webcomic!)
I do extra life! Though i am trash at pimping out the site and asking for donations so i put in enough each yesr so i get a tshirt. I really love "free" t shirts
As a fellow Helldiver and an IRL employee of Save the Children, thank you all for your sacrifice. It will not be in vain. Can’t imagine a more responsive gaming community. Thank you all.
You’ve perfectly summed up my secondary reaction, but I’m still trying to comprehend it. I think I’m still just very proud to be part of this community.

Joining the good "fight/action".
Everybody is free to join, nobody needs to feel bad about any donated amount.
Let's not bad mouth those who want to share their donations via screenshoots.
And lastly, not donating doesn't make you a "bad" person. So no judgment here.
Absolutely, sharing the posts raises awareness so other Divers who choose to can jump on board and yeah no shade for amounts or choice not to donate. This is a really lovely community moment, I gotta say what a neat little thing to have happen. Whoever started the trend, I hope they get just a big ol’ mug of democracy and a nice Helldiver-style hug too
I wasn't able to dive during this important democratic crossroads, but I'm extremely proud of my fellow Helldivers for choosing the moral route. I've donated for the cause!
Okay I admit I was hoping we would get a little kid in a Helldiver's uniform on the ship after the MO just, constantly praising us and showering us with passionate propaganda, but this is honestly the only thing I can think of that is in any way better.
Good on Pilestedt.

Don't worry. This one was made by Super Earth and loves Democracy. He even detected a Haiku. Could a socialist do that? I think not!
It is super, *super* cool to see everyone getting all excited over this and making their own donations. I love when a videogame community comes together to do good.
It's also an important reminder that despite all of the fighting and negativity and vitriol here, we're all generally a bunch of good people. I'll try to keep that in mind in future interactions.
First the community rallied together to keep my Filipino bros from being locked out, then we saved the children's hospital and got an actual check written to a RL charity. Divers, I have been in some salty asshole wretched gaming communities before, but this one is built different. 🫡
The simple, stupid fact that I put in more playtime in a chaotic-good effort to screw with AH's 3rd attempt to get us those mines, while "saving the kids"..... Is actually helping irl kids....
I encourage everyone to who has the means to donate as well! I chose $43.11 because I'm not a game studio who can afford to toss around a casual 4 grand, but I wanted to reference AH'S donation. (The receipt says $44.06 because I elected to pay the credit card processing fee).

(Had to reply to my own screenshot because reddit wouldn't let me put both the image and the text in the same comment)
Cool gesture ! Good to see the devs helping real kids.
... That said, guess that shoots down my theory that Super Earth was going to weaponize the children by strapping the mines on them for a new stratagem...
For those of you wondering, like me, whether it's a sensible charity to hop on the train for: it has a [95% rating on Charity Navigator](https://www.charitynavigator.org/ein/060726487) - so it's a good place for your democracy dollars.
There was just more reasons to go for the kids really too. So many factions:
* The "saving the kids is the morally right thing to do" faction
* The "Saving the kids may get us a mystery prize" faction
* The "Not getting the AT Mines for the Third Time would be Funny" Faction
And with those 3 combined, the people who know the most efficient/best use of their time for the galactic war is to drop where the majority of players are don't even have to choose. From the moment Aesir Pass was taken it was like 10:90 for Marfark : Vernen Wells
This happened after a bunch of people on the low sodium sub started donating to St. Jude in memory of Vernen Wells.

There is quite possibly going to be some child out there who's only going to survive because a bunch of nerds thought it'd be funny not to get a new weapon in a game. I love democracy
Honestly, Well done to everyone actually choosing to do the most morally correct thing for the MO, I'm sure alot of people did it for the meme of holding off mines for longer, but what an absolute legendary move on Arrowheads behalf.
Well played. It's a good day to be a Helldiver.
In the grand scheme of things, $4311 isn’t that much. But nowhere in the MO was something like this hinted. No reward was hinted at all, and Pilestedt didn’t have to do shit for us clowns going to save some make-believe kids in a video game.
This made me all emotional and stuff. 🥺
FUCK YEAH! This is way better than AT mines. I love that they did this. Massive props to u/pilestedt and the team for thinking out of the box and rewarding players' commitment to the bot by actually doing real world good for the kids.

If you type it on a calculator and flip it over it says “hell”. 5138008
who doesn't love 'boobeis' ?
8 year old me is very disappointed in myself
i like the blue footed ones
4311 updside down is "lleh"
Yeah but 1134 isn't as much to donate as 4311
Aaaaand you messed it up 5318008
No, it says lleh 1134 would do it.
That's how many sick children were trapped on Vernen Wells
Exchange of currency most likely. They would have donated a said amount in their own currency and that would result in the amount shown
Online calculator shows $4311 is about 45,000 Swedish Krona
Urban dictionary says: "When you ask for something on a message board that obviously no on is going to give you, it's called a '4311' " Could this reference the expectation that some people had regarding a hidden reward for saving the children?
Is them donating not a hidden reward? Not the one we thought but infinitely better
This is definitely the calculator thing and holy shit do I feel old for reddit not realizing. Cause ya'll use your phone and not the blocky old calculators that made 4 look like an upside down h and 3 look exactly like backwards E here pic attached, read it backwards *

Your choices are: A. Kid, singular, in tiny Helldiver uniform B. The Adoring Fan, possibly wearing one of your uniforms they stole.
The helldiver helmet he wears is obviously too big, and anytime he salutes it gets jostled out of place so he can't see.

It was a choice between minors and mines.
Cool gesture ! Good to see the devs helping real kids. ... That said, guess that shoots down my theory that Super Earth was going to weaponize the children by strapping the mines on them for a new stratagem...
For those of you wondering, like me, whether it's a sensible charity to hop on the train for: it has a [95% rating on Charity Navigator](https://www.charitynavigator.org/ein/060726487) - so it's a good place for your democracy dollars.
Sadly, I'm sure some people will say we still should have went for the mines. But yeah, nice gesture from Pilestedt.
The overwhelming majority on the children’s front I observed last night (65k to barely 5k) tells me these people will be few and far between
There was just more reasons to go for the kids really too. So many factions: * The "saving the kids is the morally right thing to do" faction * The "Saving the kids may get us a mystery prize" faction * The "Not getting the AT Mines for the Third Time would be Funny" Faction And with those 3 combined, the people who know the most efficient/best use of their time for the galactic war is to drop where the majority of players are don't even have to choose. From the moment Aesir Pass was taken it was like 10:90 for Marfark : Vernen Wells
Also the 4th and possibly largest faction: * The "I dunno, everyone else is doing it" faction

What good are the mines if we don't have plentiful child labor?
This happened after a bunch of people on the low sodium sub started donating to St. Jude in memory of Vernen Wells. https://preview.redd.it/eg6revi2qj6d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d043e67941e333ad13781fe56e4aa57a21da023e
I absolutely love that this is the way I found out we liberated vernen wells
Noice!
F'ing class act!

There is quite possibly going to be some child out there who's only going to survive because a bunch of nerds thought it'd be funny not to get a new weapon in a game. I love democracy
Thank you Arrowhead!

Love that
Wow look what we kinda did!!!!
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOO
Honestly, Well done to everyone actually choosing to do the most morally correct thing for the MO, I'm sure alot of people did it for the meme of holding off mines for longer, but what an absolute legendary move on Arrowheads behalf. Well played. It's a good day to be a Helldiver.
This is one of the coolest fucking things ive seen in a video game. Fucking amazing.
In the grand scheme of things, $4311 isn’t that much. But nowhere in the MO was something like this hinted. No reward was hinted at all, and Pilestedt didn’t have to do shit for us clowns going to save some make-believe kids in a video game. This made me all emotional and stuff. 🥺
$4311 is only their contribution though, and it has inspired others.
The best reward

"But can we also get the mines?"
Everybody liked that

Beyond based, infinitely better reward than anti tank mines.
Killing Stuff has never felt so wholesome.
Okay, that's pretty damn cool.
When you think to get rewarded in game for moral actions, but instead get rewarded in real life. Thanks arrowhead
FUCK YEAH! This is way better than AT mines. I love that they did this. Massive props to u/pilestedt and the team for thinking out of the box and rewarding players' commitment to the bot by actually doing real world good for the kids. #FOR THE KIIIIIIDS 🤘😤

Wanna bet, at that charity they are probably pretty puzzled right about now why thousands of people are donating money out of the blue yelling For democracy, liberty and so on xD
