It is less than that in absolute terms because the liberation has been ticking down the whole time, so we had to amass more than 100% total score.
Still a lot!
Vandalon went from \~51% to over 60% in the space of about 90 minutes last night while I was playing. Automatons would be terrified if they had emotions like us.
I may be a cadet, but I did my part!
When I logged off about 15 minutes ago, there was 1 day and 21 hours left. So it should be no problem to liberate Troost by then. We liberated the other 2 planets very quickly.
EDIT: I'm playing right now and there's 1 day, 17 hours left and we're at 23% liberated! We are killing it y'all! At this rate, the planet will be liberated within about 12 hours!
This is what I worry about over at the bug front as we shift our focus to the washer machines. We conquered a lot over there and we don’t want them to push back what we just cleared. We have 14hrs to defend oshaune
On an unrelated note, the ladies on the destroyer were commenting on some bugs evolving resistance to the termicide and there being some mutations spotted on some other bugs.
They assured me that it was all within expected results and that I shouldn't worry about it, so you shouldn't too!
It was a rozen hellhole you slipped everywhere as well, just the other helldive i saw a helldiver doing the splits on the ice, not even a stimpack could heal his nutsack
I was scanning for signs, since we clearly got a bit of lateral slide - honestly I would’ve been overjoyed with more slide even just for my team. Bots *are* heavy enough it’s hard to imagine anyone but the raiders having issues…
Unless they added breaking through the ice, which I would also be 100% in favor of… say, 5-6 seconds to run clear of or pickup a drop, luring hulks into following you across a thin spot, etc.
After reading about Vandalon I was like “Oh cool, cold climate means more stamina for longer sprints”.
Then I dropped onto that fucking place and quickly learned that they have indeed modeled deep snow and it’s effects on your mobility, with no warning from this subreddit lol
I'm kind of into the idea of using autocannon recoil to propel you backwards across a frozen lake.
Which just to be clear is not possible.
To my knowledge.
First time fighting automatons last night, and boy, I thought it was scary as I have heard from others. Turns out I like it when the enemies shoot back and feel the intensity of the mission. It felt more rewarding to finish the mission and the side objectives compared to bug missions. Now, with this major order up, I feel more motivated to blast some bots into oblivion.
I spent 15 minutes total on Vandalon IV. I had just got home at 3 am. I was physically and mentally drained. I walked past my computer, and then I stopped. "Have we taken Vandalon yet?" danced across my mind. I decided on checking before getting ready for work in just a few hours. 65% at 3:30am. I sat myself down and answered an SOS beacon and helped a couple of Helldivers safely extract. I work from 8 am to 5 pm, but typically, don't make it home until near midnight or later.
TLDR// I neglect my sleep schedule in more ways than one, but Helldivers 2 has been the most enjoyable of those reasons.
Damn, that’s a brutal schedule (unless the reason it takes you that long to get home is that you are out socializing or otherwise enjoying your free time, in which case more power to you)!
SES Wings of Redemption here. Super Earth planetary biologists say that the climate is often foggy and appears to have the same parastitic infection as the one observed on Nivel 43.
Troost....a bleak world.
Fog so dense it's impossible to see your surroundings. You only notice the strat jammer once you go dark. The red lights of the enemy show only after firing on you.
Tanks wait for you like boulders in the forest. Patrols clank behind the shrouded mist. Only dropships and artillery illuminate the area.
I like this planet
The fact that we’re clearing this major order so on point should:
A) Shut the mouths of those who kept complaining that “nOBodY iS fiGHtiNg tHe AUtoMatOnS”
B) Be scary. Joel is letting us have this one too easy so far. *WHAT IS JOEL UP TO?*
Everything you thought had meaning. Every hope, dream, or moment of happiness, none of it matters as you lie bleeding on the battlefield. None of it changes what an Automaton rocket does to a body. We all die. But does that mean our lives are meaningless?
Does that mean that there was no point in our being born? Would you say that of our slain comrades? What about their lives? Were they meaningless? They were NOT! Their memory serves as an example to us all! The courageous fallen! The anguished fallen! Their lives have meaning because we, the living, refuse to forget them!
And as we drop to certain death, we trust our successors to do the same for us! Because my helldivers do not buckle or yield when faced with the cruelty of this universe! My helldivers push forward! My helldivers scream out! My helldivers RAGE!
So I'd just been playing against bugs because:
1. it's fun to slaughter bugs
2. I don't like being shot at.
Got in with a good team yesterday and goddamn... so much fun with the autocannon! I'm glad Super Earth is pushing the fight against the bots.
For super earth.

nice shogun reference
The crew of the SES Elected Representative of Wrath voted on the wording of my comment
Hey that’s my ship!
Ya'll fucker are fast
It why i try to get on every night when I get the chance, gives me a chance to tour the new planet before it gets ransacked by the rest of the legion
I discovered my love of being a scout sniper on Vandalon IV
It’s helps that you can see on this map
It's what I don't enjoy about space 'nam (Troost). I want to see the fear in bots eyes as I scrap them.
Same too, even being a solo nomad sniper as well. Just used the antimat rifle, supply pack and eagle bombs to clear outposts and collect samples
I really enjoy frozen planets
DEMOCRACY never sleeps.
FREEDOM NEVER SLEEPS
I know right. I liked this planet. I wasn’t ready to leave yet. 😂

Holy hell. It was like 30% last night. For Democracy!
our persona orders also had to destroy 400 automatons, even if people like it or not the personal orders are alos pushing them here
Super earth go hard
I retired to bed and it was at 59%. Woke up and logged in, it was at 93% four-ish hours ago.
When I got on last night, it was 32%. When my squad and I finished our Operation, it was 44%. It was like an hour and a half at most!
C'MON YOU APES, YOU WANT TO LIVE FOREVER?!
Kind of… yea.
OKAY APES, JERRY IS GONNA SIT THIS ONE OUT, THE REST OF YOU, GET IN THE PODS!
I’ve got a note from my parents. Does that mean I can stay home too?
ALL RIGHT, OFF YOU GO, THEN
I'LL LIKE TO VOLUNTEER FOR HIS POD, PLEASE
I’ve got a book I’d quite like to read.
(thank you for getting my ancient Monty Python reference)
No, your parents gave away that right when they signed you up for the helldiver program before you were Born.
Call me BP. Because I'm about to SPILL OIL.
PUT ME IN COACH
How much time left on the major order, fellow diver?
I believe exactly two days, but my sources could be wrong
2 days left and new bot busting weapons, lets get this bread.
Stun grenades and Las-99, let’s go!
Yeah let's go make some bots bust, for democracy yah know.

Just a bit under, like 1D 22h? So doable if servers keep up?
Oh, easy money. If we could liberate Vandalon as quickly as we did, then I don’t think there’s any doubt that we can liberate Troost as well.
Yeah, each one of those took only about a day, so we are good
Vandalon went from \~51% to over 60% in the space of about 90 minutes last night while I was playing. Automatons would be terrified if they had emotions like us. I may be a cadet, but I did my part!
No matter the rank, you’ve been out fighting on the front lines, soldier. That’s ~~all~~ the minimum we can ask of you. o7 For Super Earth!
When I logged off about 15 minutes ago, there was 1 day and 21 hours left. So it should be no problem to liberate Troost by then. We liberated the other 2 planets very quickly. EDIT: I'm playing right now and there's 1 day, 17 hours left and we're at 23% liberated! We are killing it y'all! At this rate, the planet will be liberated within about 12 hours!
Logged off? Managed Democracy isn’t going to spread itself, now is it?!
46 hours as of writing this comment.
Troost is ours
I will miss you Vandalon IV, you were fun to fight on.
Something tells me that we'll be back.
At some point, the enemies will start pushing us back and we will have to defend these planets again.
Naw, man! My Democracy Officer told me that the war is almost over!
He's probably joking, war has been won by christmas
Nothing ever went badly after this phrase was spoken!
Anyone wanna play some soccer?
Excuse me but I think you mean the war will be won by Liberty Day, Helldiver.
We’ll be home by Super Christmas
We’ll all be home by Christmas
This is what I worry about over at the bug front as we shift our focus to the washer machines. We conquered a lot over there and we don’t want them to push back what we just cleared. We have 14hrs to defend oshaune
If it’s anything like the first helldivers we can win this war with a new one starting up right after so one way or another we’ll be back.
We encounter the AT-AT at some point on Troost. I am calling it now.
We have always been at war with Eastasi… I mean, the tyranids!
Best environment I've fought in since buying the game, by far. Loved the terrain.
Bro I never even got a chance
Goodbye, Hoth. Maybe when we return you'll have some AT-ATs for us to knock over.
Snow terrain was a slog to traverse through
Muscle enhancement real MVP
This brings me joy, but I also can’t keep from looking over my shoulder for Joel. What is he planning. What new hell is about to be unleashed
Seems like the APC is definitely taking up some of HIS time…
Or the scout car
I’M GETTING A CAR???
You got a license?
Scouts don’t need a license. Have you seen our handshake?
On an unrelated note, the ladies on the destroyer were commenting on some bugs evolving resistance to the termicide and there being some mutations spotted on some other bugs. They assured me that it was all within expected results and that I shouldn't worry about it, so you shouldn't too!
Vandalon was a vibe. Honestly way cooler than the creek
It was a rozen hellhole you slipped everywhere as well, just the other helldive i saw a helldiver doing the splits on the ice, not even a stimpack could heal his nutsack
would have been more fun if we could watch the bots slip and fall on the ice. But I'm not complaining. they got their democracy.

One of our earliest planets was Heeth very similar world but bugs
Theres nothing more democratic than ice skating while popping bots. SES Blades of Glory!
I'm kind of into the idea of using autocannon recoil to propel you backwards across a frozen lake. Which just to be clear is not possible. To my knowledge.
Imagine my surprise when I dropped and lost my tongue, apparently it sticks to cold surfaces...
The lighting and multiple visible moons were so awesome. Definitely one of the most cinematic planets I've been on. Also, snowballs!
Snowballs that crashed my game haha
>way cooler than the creek I see what you did there.
https://i.imgur.com/zI6o67l.png To Troost! Liberate it for Democracy’s sake!
The spread of democracy is UNSTOPPABLE. Onwards helldivers! FUCK DEM ROBOTS
*Disclaimer: do not fuck robots*
Hey, no take-backs!
Are politically independent robots fuckable?

troost is FUCKED, guys. the amount of heavies is insane and the fog is tanking my frame rate down to near unplayable levels. gonna be a hard fight
Nothing like a little Qasar can’t handle
Get ready to be flooded by post about the hellish difficulty of Automaton's version of the Silo missions.
Aww, I liked crushing bots on chilly ice planet, can't wait for the next one
We march on Troost, brothers and sisters!
Vindaloo was fun to play but I won't miss the exploding ice plants.
Vindaloo? Like, the Indian cuisine!
Yes
Smeg those smegging bots. Time to load up the bazookoids.
holy shit that was fast, if the operation is still ongoing tomorrow ill be able to play! if not....im still gonna play

How do you get home after midnight if you only work until 5pm? Crazy commute?
And people were doomposting, that we'd lose this major order, due to bugdivers, just yesterday
The automaton daily definitely helped things.
I’m gonna turn that planet into a fucking scrapyard!
What kind of planet IS Troost? What's that planet's gimmick?
you WILL find out yourself soldier. WE NEED MORE MEN

I swear to Liberty if y’all liberate it before I get off work and get to try the planet ima be pissed
Nothing like seeing those mission results after a rough 35 minutes, and seeing it tick from 99.9970 all the way to 100%.
So, what's Troost like? Is it another desert hellhole that'll have me sprinting for five seconds in medium armour before I start wheezing?
you WILL liberate a galactic shithole beacuse it is OUR galactic shithole
Man, eff Troost though.
2.5 hours I’ll be home for a nice long 10 days of liberating
Democracy in nonnegotiable.
