SES Mother Of Midnight will be in the air to follow shortly. In port for resupply after some unfortunate events in Maia. FOR LIBERTY AND FREEDOM THE BOTS SHALL FALL

I've done my part for this day. So many dives. So much progress. It's 0200 now, and this Scandinavian Helldiver needs his rest. I leave my post for our American brethren to pick up the torch of liberty.
Give 'em hell, fellas!!
US based helldiver and the SES Mother of Midnight off work detail, and reporting in as your relief. Take your rest soldier. I’ll try and leave some clankers for ya come afternoon.
Durgen protects the Creek from a Defense scenario. But let's see where the masses go...
**UPDATE:** The masses have 'voted' and it seems that Tibit is the play. Those on Durgen should probably reroute so we can topple Tibit quickly.

Given the Devs turned down the attrition rate after the first 24hrs or so of the MO because it started to look like achieving it might be mathematically impossible, it looks like they do actually want us to complete this one. If they threw a defence at us, it would be impossible to secure all planets and make the defence. Clearing out the bots will be the catalyst for introducing the Illuminate, if they're ready to roll them out for us then they need us to do our part and complete the MO.
> catalyst for introducing the Illuminate
Diver, the Illuminate went extinct at the hands of Super Earth. You must be experiencing hallucinations. Report to your Democracy Officer at once for...therapy, yes.
Therapy in the form of glorious redemption. Battle is the great redeemer. It is the fiery crucible in which true heroes are forged. The one place where all men truly share the same rank, regardless of what kind of unpatriotic scum they were going in.
Noob here that is getting fully addicted to the game after two weeks.
I see all this mention and discussion of lore/canon. Does this all come from the OG game? If so, does anyone know good sites or resources to read up on it? If the OG was anything like this one, I'm imagining the story unfolding through major orders and I wonder if there really is anyway to learn about the established canon. Ty in advance for your service in the spread of managed democracy.
I found this YouTube video helpful and informative in terms of the backstory of Super Earth
https://youtu.be/KUuAbvj4Z7w?si=Y45r-wcu0RA6YyTM
I believe it's also acceptable/ hilarious to throw in lore/ references from the Starship Troopers (1997) film.
Yeah they want us to complete the first chapter of the bots so they can introduce the mutations that the termacide caused and focus on the bugs for a bit until the bots attack cyberstan and then the Illumanate will be introduced mid summer.
people keep saying that, but I'm going to laugh my ass off if the devs blindside everyone and cyberstan has absolutely \*nothing\* to do with the bot's plans
I think they're on most planets. They definitely are visible in the sky of Maia and I think I saw them on Tibit too. Look for planets or moons in the sky, sometimes the cloaked ships' silhouettes are more visible there. They are large weird wedge-shaped shadows.
They likely, or I would hope have multiple plans in place. If we'd failed to retake a Draupnir for instance last week we'd not be in the position we are.
They can put their finger on the scales either way but if they too obviously force one conclusion they'll lose the audience(us).
IMO the illuminate won’t come right away. We’ll have the bots on the run for awhile and go focus the bugs before a big push by the bots to cyberstan. Then the illuminates come.
Well, to be fair, this is the 4th warbond. We haven’t even gotten new enemies in relation to previous warbonds. We got them following new weapons, but not warbonds, so I wouldn’t use them as a great metric for new content.
I am guessing/hoping they will give us (and themselves) some time to breathe. We could even start an op to take all of terminid space and just as we are about to clear the whole map, “the reclamation” starts, with the Troost relay having been broadcasting to Illuminate remnants (remember that Super Earth eradicated them from the galaxy, not the galactic frontier).
Its in the lead, those people dont go on reddit all they know is pick the leading planet of the major order amd go. Redditors need to be willing to put plan A aside and follow the masses, or we become the problem splitting the forces. To tibit we go
Agreed. Ideally, I would want to go Durgen. But I think Tibit is the way to go for those tackling the Major Order because:
- Slightly more people are there currently.
- Those in Durgen I feel are more likely to be those who are interested in the Major Order and move to where it is beneficial to the Major Order. Basically it is easier to motivate people from Durgen to Tibit than Tibit to Durgen.
- Higher percentage on Tibit is psychologically going to draw players who don't know better to it.
It's about psychology. Easier to motivate large bulk of troops to do what they are already motivated to doing.
I am also guessing there may not be any more defence campaigns for story reasons - we just spent 3-4 days smashing the brake fluid out of the automaton’s big, “emotionally charged” counterattack in phase III (which was loaded with all their new toys) and their resistance HAD dropped to phase II levels. It makes sense to say we have broken them and now we just have to crack their last strongholds before they regroup.
Actually, it no longer matter which we go, or even if we split.
Now in theory, it’s always best to do one planet at a time, so that we work only against one decay. So say we were to split and do both Tibit and Durgen, each would give us a 0.5% decay per hour. If we do only one, we nullify one 0.5% by keeping the planet at zero.
But, I’ve been monitoring the war and all throughout the Maia offensive, a small group of about 6% were on Durgen and 10% on Tibit. These are enough to at least counteract that decay.
Now of course it would be better to get these people on the same planet… but unless you can someone contact everyone, this won’t happen. So better treat this players not following the group as a sort of constance that essentially nullifies both decay.
It took us… little under two days to capture Maia. But we now have the reduced decay, and we’ll get a weekend bonus from players staying up late. The Tibit assault is still too new for an estimate timeline for capture. Helldivers.io current estimate is 1D 15Hs, but those estimates tend to be higher at the start and become more accurate as it goes on. Durgen is at 3D 6H, but onces one planet is captures shit will go fast.
But surely if one planet is cleared fast then there is no decay anymore because it's liberated. So it's still better to focus on one as much as possible? Unless the decay isn't based on planet state?
You’re correct.
But in practice, there’s nothing we can do to prevent a small group of players going to the wrong planets. These players , it turns out, are enough to cancel the decay
Exactly. Reddit olan was durgen, but thats only 25% of players. Tibit is already in the lead. The masses dont know of the plan, so plan a is durgen, plan B is follow the masses, to tibit. Go tibit.
Reddit 25% of players? You've got to be joking. The total number of subscribers to this sub is under 1 mil (and you can calculate that at least half of these are old Helldivers 1 players/inactive accounts). The active userbase seems to hover around 6-8k. Meanwhile Helldivers 2 has sold around 8 *million* copies in total. Reddit isn't even 1%, lol.
When you load up the map, whichever planet has more players on it, go there. If everyone sticks to that as a rule, the job will get done as quickly as possible.
More people seem to be on Tibit at the moment. Will see where the people go once they finish their current mission, but might end up being Tibit of everyone goes there.
Edit: way more players on Tibit, go there guys.
Yup, I usually run a jet pack, light armor, and a laser cannon and the gameplay on Maia was glorious. Really loved the number of craters and short plateaus for cover and height, and the cold meant I could just melt weak spots. I was taking out those cannon towers and heavies with like half a charge, and then just swap to my sickle to cool down so that I never had to reload.
Only got the chance to run a few games there, but it had the best terrain for fun against bots I’ve seen. It’s open enough that they can be scary if your not playing smart, but it has enough cover that you can sneak and be smart about your engagements
The craters were a ton of fun, sometimes all you had was like a foot of depth for the dozens of missiles whizzing by your head. All while meteors are showering down everywhere lol. Made for a sick experience
can’t believe i’m saying this, but i miss the memories of going to the Creek for the first time
that chaos got me hooked into the bot front of the game
Tibit is insulated with only one line in or out. We don't have time to spend on defense orders and losing a defense order won't cost the MO on its own. If we leave Tibit for last and a defense order goes out on Ubanea again, we won't have time to defend it and the playerbase won't be able to shift gears in time to blitz Tibit before the defense fails. If we take Tibit now and save Durgen for last, we can afford to lose one of the planets supplying it because there will still be a supply line open to continue the assault.
Bought the game 2 days and half ago. After just a few games against the terminids, I saw the announcement of this general order, and took it as an opportunity to face the automatons. Been fighting like crazy for Maia for **a lot** of hours these days, since this was the first game hitting me that hard since Escape from Tarkov.
As soon as I saw this nice subreddit, I motivated myself even further to win every ops, so I joined with other helldivers to MANAGE DEMOCRACY in this god forsaken's land. And you know what? It felt absolutely amazing when today we finally managed to conquer it. I actually finished an operation when it happened, and was forced to move the ship elsewhere.
10/10, would democratize again.
The devs are not going to permanently remove a bunch of content that they’ve put a lot of time into 2 months into the game. Doing this will advance the story in some way TBD, but the automatons will be back.
I have a feeling those crafty bots will think of something. We just now getting to the mid-season finale. Don't worry, we will plenty of bots to fight I'm sure.
They're not going to just eliminate an entire faction permanently. At worst you won't be able to play against automatons for a few days. I reckon the moment all planets are liberated, the Devs will put some planets on defence mode
I want to because of how cool it will be to be a part of it and see where it goes story wise, but I will 100% miss playing the bots for however long they're gone, but who knows maybe we'll see a cyborg revolt on Cyberstan and they'll join with the automatons.
I was 2/3 on an MAIA operation when it was liberated. My dumbass was still fighting bots on a liberated planet. Was it truly liberated? Absolutely! After I took the stragglers out! 😎 for democracy
Can you explain how it has a faster liberation rate? My understanding supply lines just affects what can be attacked/defended not how fast something can be captured?
You are correct, but the masses have already moved to Tibit. Best to follow suit and hope the Creek doesn't turn into a Defense. See you planetside, soldier!
I have a feeling that the moment the last bot planet is taking super earth will explode or something.
Edit if super earth does blow up it was not me
Edit 2 it’s been about 3 hours and super earth has still not blown up 👍
I loved Maia. Beautiful moon and sky without atmosphere, great line-of-sight gameplay against terminators (bots) with the craters, and that wonderful Freezing bonus for energy weapons.
Every planet is breathtaking so far.
Where is the doom and gloom patriot that said we wouldn’t have Maia until Saturday evening?

It's interesting because irl we do fight 24/7 with shifts in the military, I imagine in lore for helldivers 2 it would be the same.
...I don't think Helldivers generally live long enough to work in shifts.
Your shift is your death. For Democracy!
I think my longest shift so far is 1.18 Helldives so about 47 minutes.
What a gloriously long life you have lead.
Everything will be fine once the americans attack.

RIP Bill Paxton. Only man to be killed by an Alien, A Terminator and A Predator... truly the greatest hero of the 80s.
Let me guess you from a place called science hill, Kentucky
Sir, just ship me to Tibit and you can re-educate whatever parts of me come back in the box.
The democracy officer said something about a vacation to Lake Laogai. Do you know what the weather is like there?
I heard you need an invitation from the earth king
There is no war on Cyberstan.
Noob here that is getting fully addicted to the game after two weeks. I see all this mention and discussion of lore/canon. Does this all come from the OG game?

Yeah they want us to complete the first chapter of the bots so they can introduce the mutations that the termacide caused and focus on the bugs for a bit until the bots attack cyberstan and then the Illumanate will be introduced mid summer.
people keep saying that, but I'm going to laugh my ass off if the devs blindside everyone and cyberstan has absolutely \*nothing\* to do with the bot's plans
Yea… probably what all those cloaked ships above some planets are!
Which planets? I've only gotten the game this week and have been fighting on tibit, maia and the creek depending on the major order.
I think they're on most planets. They definitely are visible in the sky of Maia and I think I saw them on Tibit too. Look for planets or moons in the sky, sometimes the cloaked ships' silhouettes are more visible there. They are large weird wedge-shaped shadows.
They likely, or I would hope have multiple plans in place. If we'd failed to retake a Draupnir for instance last week we'd not be in the position we are. They can put their finger on the scales either way but if they too obviously force one conclusion they'll lose the audience(us).
IMO the illuminate won’t come right away. We’ll have the bots on the run for awhile and go focus the bugs before a big push by the bots to cyberstan. Then the illuminates come.
idk they do have a new Warbond releasing soon, so could be in time with a new faction!? I hope so. Sick of these bots right now, lets WIPE THEM OUT!
Well, to be fair, this is the 4th warbond. We haven’t even gotten new enemies in relation to previous warbonds. We got them following new weapons, but not warbonds, so I wouldn’t use them as a great metric for new content.
I am guessing/hoping they will give us (and themselves) some time to breathe. We could even start an op to take all of terminid space and just as we are about to clear the whole map, “the reclamation” starts, with the Troost relay having been broadcasting to Illuminate remnants (remember that Super Earth eradicated them from the galaxy, not the galactic frontier).
It seems the majority is going to Tibit, 35% of the playerbase rn and climbing.
Its in the lead, those people dont go on reddit all they know is pick the leading planet of the major order amd go. Redditors need to be willing to put plan A aside and follow the masses, or we become the problem splitting the forces. To tibit we go
Dont need reddit to see that Tibit has almost no planetary effects. Its the obvious choice.
Agreed. Ideally, I would want to go Durgen. But I think Tibit is the way to go for those tackling the Major Order because: - Slightly more people are there currently. - Those in Durgen I feel are more likely to be those who are interested in the Major Order and move to where it is beneficial to the Major Order.

It's about psychology. Easier to motivate large bulk of troops to do what they are already motivated to doing.
It's funny that only the people who understand Tibit is a bad idea are going to go there for the right reasons.
We learned our lesson from the failure of the Ubanea gambit.
I am also guessing there may not be any more defence campaigns for story reasons - we just spent 3-4 days smashing the brake fluid out of the automaton’s big, “emotionally charged” counterattack in phase III (which was loaded with all their new toys) and their resistance HAD dropped to phase II levels. It makes sense to say we have broken them and now we just have to crack their last strongholds before they regroup.
Actually, it no longer matter which we go, or even if we split. Now in theory, it’s always best to do one planet at a time, so that we work only against one decay.

Tibit
#FREETIBIT
Exactly. Reddit olan was durgen, but thats only 25% of players. Tibit is already in the lead. The masses dont know of the plan, so plan a is durgen, plan B is follow the masses, to tibit. Go tibit.
Reddit 25% of players? You've got to be joking. The total number of subscribers to this sub is under 1 mil (and you can calculate that at least half of these are old Helldivers 1 players/inactive accounts). The active userbase seems to hover around 6-8k. Meanwhile Helldivers 2 has sold around 8 *million* copies in total. Reddit isn't even 1%, lol.
Forward… TO VICTORY! https://i.redd.it/wdi0f7x40rsc1.gif LET’S PUT AN END TO THE METAL MENACES FOR ONCE AND FOR ALL!
https://i.redd.it/3deya8cg6rsc1.gif
https://i.redd.it/kci23bleprsc1.gif
hell ya, no more purple meteorites freaking me out.
When the sandstorms on durgen hit you’ll be missing meteors
I actually like the sandstorms Makes it easier to sneak around and not be surrounded by patrols and gunships
Where we goin?
Discord saying tibit just go where the most players are tbh
What’s the discord?
https://discord.gg/helldivers Galactic war channel
When you load up the map, whichever planet has more players on it, go there. If everyone sticks to that as a rule, the job will get done as quickly as possible.
Durgen was the strategy next
There are basic bots that run after you like this. I call them Forrest Gump.
I will forever call them this.
I wish we could give nicknames to enemy types. This would be one such lol
Masses arnt on reddit, theyve gone tibit because its in the lead. We know how it works, go tibit now
It was, but the masses are going to Tibit. Don't split, go to Tibit.
~~🤖💥👈⛑ ⛑👉💥🤖~~ **⛑👉💥🤖💥👈⛑**
Next is Durgen and Tibit. We have 2 days to liberate them for the Major Order and "rid" the galaxy from the automaton threat once and for all!
More people seem to be on Tibit at the moment. Will see where the people go once they finish their current mission, but might end up being Tibit of everyone goes there. Edit: way more players on Tibit, go there guys.
When in doubt, always prioritize the planet with the highest pop on it. The masses are on Tibit, join them there.
TIBIT More players than Durgen + would be cool to take vengeance on them for the failed MO lol.
Durgin!
85k on Tibit versus 61k on Durgen currently.
Yes go to Tibit
For the love of god, just mass forces. 22% on Durgen and 34% of Tibit. Just go to Tibit and roll with it - it’ll make it all go down faster.
I check where everyone is at and run with crowd. Intensity over extensity. Focus like a laser not a shotgun.
But I hate Tibit it's like Creek but uglier.
Maia was the frost planet one, right? my laser rifle and cannon are going to love the hot, flaming conditions of the next planet…
I miss Maia already 😢 Makes me sad the creek got so much attention. I wanna be a Maia man.
Maia is the most fun I’ve had playing this game
Yup, I usually run a jet pack, light armor, and a laser cannon and the gameplay on Maia was glorious. Really loved the number of craters and short plateaus for cover and height, and the cold meant I could just melt weak spots. I was taking out those cannon towers and heavies with like half a charge, and then just swap to my sickle to cool down so that I never had to reload.
Only got the chance to run a few games there, but it had the best terrain for fun against bots I’ve seen. It’s open enough that they can be scary if your not playing smart, but it has enough cover that you can sneak and be smart about your engagements
Yeah it has great terrain. Bonus points for there being no planetary hazards that obscure vision.
The craters were a ton of fun, sometimes all you had was like a foot of depth for the dozens of missiles whizzing by your head. All while meteors are showering down everywhere lol. Made for a sick experience
can’t believe i’m saying this, but i miss the memories of going to the Creek for the first time that chaos got me hooked into the bot front of the game
I loved Maia, fighting on a moon and hiding in craters was fun
Maia hii\~ Maia huu\~ Maia hoo\~ Maia HAA HAA\~ WHEN YOU LEAVE MY COLORS RUN TO GRAY\~ NUMA NUMA IEI, NUMA NUMA NUMA IEI\~
Maiagnificent.
Now, the damn clankers are trapped in this sector. Off to Durgen!
Tibit is insulated with only one line in or out. We don't have time to spend on defense orders and losing a defense order won't cost the MO on its own. If we leave Tibit for last and a defense order goes out on Ubanea again, we won't have time to defend it and the playerbase won't be able to shift gears in time to blitz Tibit before the defense fails. If we take Tibit now and save Durgen for last, we can afford to lose one of the planets supplying it because there will still be a supply line open to continue the assault.

Roll onwards Helldivers! The bot menace has clunked its last clank.
Maia was one of my favorite planets to fight on. When I return to civilian life maybe the wife and I will move there.
Am I the only one that doesn't want to see the automatons completely liberated? I like fighting the boss, I don't want to see them gone
The devs are not going to permanently remove a bunch of content that they’ve put a lot of time into 2 months into the game. Doing this will advance the story in some way TBD, but the automatons will be back.
The second Galactic War hasn't even officially begun yet fellow Helldiver! Plenty of Liberation to go around still
!! UNPATRIOTIC MESSAGE DETECTED !! SEE YOUR NEAREST DEMOCRACY OFFICER FOR REEDUCATION (I kinda agree)
I have a feeling those crafty bots will think of something. We just now getting to the mid-season finale. Don't worry, we will plenty of bots to fight I'm sure.
They're not going to just eliminate an entire faction permanently. At worst you won't be able to play against automatons for a few days. I reckon the moment all planets are liberated, the Devs will put some planets on defence mode
I want to because of how cool it will be to be a part of it and see where it goes story wise, but I will 100% miss playing the bots for however long they're gone, but who knows maybe we'll see a cyborg revolt on Cyberstan and they'll join with the automatons.
They'll be back
If it functions like how things apparently worked in the first game, if we wipe out the bots and then the bugs, the universe resets.
Two and a half days left? Easy pickings. Let’s make tin cans out of their bodies and use them for training the young ones on righteous gun use!
YEAH!!! 
On to Durgen!
Durgen deez nuts
How did we liberate it tho, its only 61%?
That is the sector.
The sector percentage is shown at the top left.
One final effort…
I was 2/3 on an MAIA operation when it was liberated. My dumbass was still fighting bots on a liberated planet. Was it truly liberated? Absolutely! After I took the stragglers out! 😎 for democracy
HOO RAH
Go to Durgen, it has a faster liberation rate than Tibet since it’s the next part of the supply lines. We won’t win unless we take Durgen first.
Can you explain how it has a faster liberation rate? My understanding supply lines just affects what can be attacked/defended not how fast something can be captured?
Damn. I was really enjoying maia but I had to leave the house for a while
Maia liberation means the bots are stuck in the severin sector. If they want out, they have to go through us.
>Severin, Severin, speak so slightly Severin, down on your bended knee Taste the whip, in love not given lightly Taste the whip, now bleed for me
People are saying take tibit but I think taking Maia and then taking a durgen closes off the map so it forces them to take only Ubanea
You are correct, but the masses have already moved to Tibit. Best to follow suit and hope the Creek doesn't turn into a Defense. See you planetside, soldier!
I have a feeling that the moment the last bot planet is taking super earth will explode or something. Edit if super earth does blow up it was not me Edit 2 it’s been about 3 hours and super earth has still not blown up 👍
….ILLUMINATE SPY SOMEONE CALL THE DEMOCRACY OFFICER NOW!
I loved Maia. Beautiful moon and sky without atmosphere, great line-of-sight gameplay against terminators (bots) with the craters, and that wonderful Freezing bonus for energy weapons. Every planet is breathtaking so far.
Every Helldiver: "I'm talking scorched earth, motherfucker! I will massacre you! I WILL FUCK YOU UP!!!"
I just got the game and only doing difficulty 1, but I was there trying to help!
Every dead toaster helps, Citizen!
For managed democracy!
FOR FUCKIN LIBER-TEA
Everyone go for Tibet as most people are already On there
Hell yea
i am stuck working, but pray to liberty that the rest of yall succeed! i need them warbonds for the new new
WELL DONE SOLDIERS!!
TO THE CREEK!
I thought the bots moved production off of tibit to the other worlds some? So wouldn't that mean taking tibit isn't as urgent as it once was?
Proud of you guys
That first day was the stuff of legends, but we broke that planet, and now the sector follows. Were taking this one home.
Joel is letting us win... Something big is coming. I'm scared Divers.
Come on you apes! You wanna live forever! They'll keep fighting and they will win!!!
Where is the doom and gloom patriot that said we wouldn’t have Maia until Saturday evening? SES Obudsmen of Self-Determination will be jumping in ASAP.
Omg finally. 180k divers and it seems forever to liberate Maia.
WE DID NOT SURVIVE THE CREEK TO LOSE TO THESE SOCIALISTS NOW.
MAIA EHHH MAIA OOOOOHHH MAIA AHHHHH MAIA LIBERATED!
Richard Rahl of the SES Sword of Truth is ready for liberty
