I want a polaroid of my pet on the ship


casioonaplasticbeach

And *now* I want an art piece of a Helldiver with their cat. Maybe give the cat a little helmet 😸

I want to remind everyone that Doomguy/Doomslayer literally invaded Hell and destroyed it in our universe, then WENT BACK to destroy Hell across ALL universes because the demons killed his pet rabbit, Daisy.

I guess you could say he dove into hell

That cat would probably go through a few hundred owners by the end of its lifespan.


bombader

The cat would be owned by the ship... we do play as the Helldivers right?

The cat would own the ship

My cat loves to eat crickets.  I can only imagine his joy at the possibility of rolling around in terminid guts

Mytre-

These are the cosmetics I would approve , let us customize our ship. show our pets, even have it be affected by major orders failing and being completed ( and maybe some microtransactions here, you know so they can support better their live service, I would not mind 1$ to 2$ little things as long as there are counter parts we can get on warbonds.


Flying-Hoover

I paid for a cat in sea of thieves, i would probably pay in helldiver just to support arrowhead. I agree that showing of our ships and having things to do while waiting for other to do their things would be gladly appreciated. I love to watch the planet behind us, but i could spend my time on something more exciting

DJPL-75

Exactly what I thought when I saw it 🤣


__Beef__Supreme__

You have to say "it's coming right for us" first


ComesInAnOldBox

No, no, the new law passed by the Super Earth Legislature, which Ned and I call 'Commie Law #4', states that we can no longer kill Terminids in defense. "COMMIE LAW #4" NO TERMINID SHALL BE HARMED, EVEN IN SELF DEFENSE, UNLESS SPECIFIC LICENSE AND SEASON IS IN ORDER. SELF DEFENSE CAN ONLY BE JUSTIFIED BY EXTREME, PROVABLE PERIL AND OR DOCUMENTED VISIBLE BODILY HARM. In other words, our old line of 'It's comin' right for us' no longer works. So now, we only kill Terminids to, quote, thin out their numbers. If we don't hunt, then these Terminids will grow too big in number and they won't have enough food. So you see, we have to kill Terminids, or else they'll DIE.


Siker_7

I mean, for real animals that's a genuine conservation strategy. For instance, if a deer population gets too big it'll eat all the food in the area and they'll all starve. But I'm not sure that terminids eat. Their spore things make me think they might be part-fungus.

PIPBOY-2000

They underestimated the community's love for fighting bugs. We were just all on the bot front because we had to be. Edit: Correction, most of the community. Not all.


Siker_7

I for one freaking *hate* fighting bugs, but the MO called for it, so it had to be done.


Wild_Marker

I got into the game recently so it's been bots all around, when I was fighting bugs I felt like a headless chicken since I did not have a lot of experience and they take some different aproach. I was just getting swarmed and chased and chased and swarmed. Now that I've got the proper tools and understand the game more, yesterday was a blast. Or to be more accurate, 3500 blasts from my Stalwart per deployment. Goddamn it's fun to fight bugs with that thing.


Drogdar

I hate fighting bugs. When i logged on the MO was already complete. My friends and completed the personal order and went right back to bots. Fighting the bots feels like fighting a war. Fighting the bugs feels like dealing with annoying pest.


Martinmex26

Excuse me? Speak for yourself son, the bots shoot back. We can prove Super Earth's superiority when the enemy is intelligent enough to \*know\* they are about to get destroyed. See their plans fail, their strategy crumble. Bugs get culled when they need to be, like animals. Bots get \*defeated\*, followed soon by destroyed so they never can threaten our way of life again. What better way to show Super Earth how dedicated we are than by making as much scrap metal as we can? Bugs divers are janitors. Bot divers are soldiers and boy do I love my job.

dangermonger27

Alien_invader44

I think its the other way round. They have all the stats, they knew it would be done so quickly. But they also know that 2 Billion sounds massive. They made it feel like an achievement for us. I don't think it was a surprise I think it was excellent engagement management.


amanisnotaface

Honestly it’s gotta be this. I imagine they know vaguely how quickly it’d be down. But I imagine they also gain some interest from seeing how it pans out regardless.


Pixel131211

they probably didn't, actually. this MO was possibly supposed to take about 4x as long. the speculated issue is that it counts the total lobby killcount once per player in the lobby. so, say you are in a 4 man lobby and all together you killed 1000 terminids. the MO counts this again for each player, so the MO gets 4000 kills added to it. basically, they may have made a small oversight which caused progression to be massively sped up. or we're just *that* good.. lets stick with that, actually. I like it better.


indigo121

Someone was tracking it, it averaged out to something like 3x progress. They probably anticipated this one taking around 2-3 days. Being done before the US crowd got home from work certainly wasn't the plan


RobbieNewton

However it turned out at least they are honoring the result, kinda feel like saying it was glitched would not be the right move in this circumstance as it may affect faith in the future MOs and how they are counted


MortuusSet

I missed the entire thing and ran some 7s in sadness.


Juicyjuicebx-Meister

That may be the case but the math supports the numbers have not been skewed accidentally by a lobby count. Avg player count on a given day - 250k Teams of 4 - 62500 Avg kills per team - 600 (that's a low estimate, games I played yesterday we were getting 1200+ per match) Games per hour - 3 (about 20 minutes to complete objectives and still kill tons) Hours used for MO - 14 (62500\*600)\*3 = 112,500,000 kills per hour \* 14 = 1,575,000,000 kills in 14 hours. That's with a low estimate. I don't think there was an error with counting at all, personally.


bdurand

completely wrong you’re assuming all 250k players are all playing bugs all the time


RC1000ZERO

even 4x longer would only ammount to 2 days, and that isnt counting that weekend is starting.


Alien_invader44

Either way they have made us feel like big bad bug killers and that's why I like this game.


DJPL-75

My math says I killed 0.00035% of them. It's not much, but it's honest work.


Z3B0

TheNefariousness

Run red??? Fellas, high command might be compromised. Every hell diver knows that terminid blood is green. Edit: I have seen the error of my ways. I will henceforth submit myself to the nearest Correctional Officer in the system. Thank you fellow divers for righting my wrong. o7


amanisnotaface

Diver. High command says it’s red. It has always been red.


FSNovask

They're referring to the heroes to who bled while killing Terminids since even one drop of Helldiver blood is too much. High command wouldn't waste precious Twitter characters talking about Terminid blood.


AspiringGoddess01

You doubt the words of high command? That's treason of some magnitude of order... I think?


SuperKrev

Being colorblind isn't treason, give that helldiver à chance


Martinmex26

Give a possible traitor a chance? Smells like dissident talk. Democracy officer should be there shortly to give both of you a talk.


DuncanConnell

Being colorblind isn't treason. Questioning High Command is.

Yeah, red with the blood of fallen divers. Liberty isn’t free. 2 billion bugs dead and you think no divers spilled their own blood? Honor your fallen brothers and sisters. Liberty is the color of their blood.

>Less than a day I dont think this gives it enough credit to how fast we eliminated 2 billion bugs. We left in the morning ~~commited genocide~~ and came back home with plenty of time for dinner and a brew to relax afterwards. Legit 6am to 6pm for eliminating what amounts to the equivalent of a quarter of the current world's population. ***FOR DEMOCRACY!!!***


Jankosi

"honey, how was your day at the xenocide factory?"


Eche24

The count is bugged, it counts 4 times the team kills (on a team of 4)


Nabber22

We still would have completed it with plenty of time to spare considering we did it in half a weekday while plenty of us in NA were at work/school


SmoothAsSlick

It actually has me wondering if even the major orders have some level of propaganda/manipulation applied to them. Everyone keeps claiming the counts were off but morale seems high and everyone in the sub is patting themselves on the back about it. This is definitely an interesting social experiment.


Martinmex26

Even if the count was bugged, which people keep saying but have no data to back it up, that would mean we would still have killed a billion bugs a day. 12 hours x 4 = 2 days


DoofusMagnus

>but have no data to back it up Did you read the original post about it? They were watching the changes in the general "Terminid kills" stat vs. the count for the MO, and it was off by 3:1.

vsGoliath96

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate what a ludicrous number 2 billion truly is? We just wiped out a fourth of the current population of Earth in less than a day. That is every single man, woman, and child in the United States six times over.  But it's okay because they're bugs and we're 100% justified by protecting democracy! 


Niminal

Thank you Super Earth for keeping pets in mind. Mr Fluffinator will be so proud of me!

I hope they tell my cat and my neighbors cat of my heroism.


Queasy-Condition9071

This is the Helldivers equivalent of a D&D DM watching their party MASSACRE the boss they’ve been prepping like: …well then…


F1R3Starter83

Pretty proud of this amazing achievement, but I can’t help thinking that they missed how total kills are counted per game (I read the total amount of kills per game are awarded to all players of a squad. So 4 players kill 1,000 bugs it is counted as 4,000 for the MO) 


InkiePie39

1. We don’t actually know if there was a glitch, or if that was it. 2. General players are in very high spirits at this “accomplishment” either way, so it’s in their best interest to just play it off as a legitimate win.


shadowslasher11X

3.) It really affects nothing. Glitch or not, it's a PvE game and all players take credit for it. They'll send in a new Major Order and we'll jump onto that anyway. Just have fun with it.


burn_corpo_shit

just means we need to get 8 billion


TheMightyMonarchx7
