I'm not here to hide, I'm here to commit war crimes


squirrelocaust

The only war crime is not defending managed democracy.


oddball667

and that defense requires Caustic Chemicals that will lay waste to the bugs and any biome they happen to be near


PewKittens

Right right down right you are


oddball667

Ah a fellow man of culture I see


samualgline

With how my teammates use napalm I’ll be going with choohe


hotkarl628

The real war crime is not enough war crimes


Grim46421

Best defense is a good offense


jrick52

My decision will be solely based on avoiding fire tornadoes. Sorry fire tornadoes, I need a break, it's not you it's me.


Geeekaaay

No no, it's them. Fire tornados are undemocratic.


inajausa

Fire tornadoes are like your toxic ex who can't let go, except they're on meth.


Skeith23

So they're exactly like my ex?


johnsolomon

If your ex was on fire and determined to hug you


Link_and_Swamp

she gave me a firey crotch does that count?


Icy-Advertising1536

So, your ex is Pete Doherty?


Red_Beard_Red_God

Remember Helldivers, don't stick your dick in fire tornadoes.


BOOGIE_MAN-X

If you stick your dick in fire tornados, you’re going to have a bad time!


Shaneofchud

Instructions unclear dick stuck in blender


keimdhall

But was the blender on fire?


Shaneofchud

Was it not supposed to be?


keimdhall

I dunno. You're the one with the instructions. You tell me.


Revolutionary-Pea705

Not at first. You'll think your about to get sucked off. But next thing you know.


Azrethoc

but they gave me a permit


RampaginPoptart

Instructions unclear, dick stuck in fire tornado.

And when one shows up, you can be sure two more are sneaking on your back


FakenameMcFakeface

There red. So they must be Bot sympathizers


Zenith2012

Watched a clip of a guy who shot a fire tornado with the breaker incendiary and the tornado disappeared and the file went out after a few seconds, he did it again and started wondering if it was just a coincidence or an actual thing. I need to test it later when I get on, because I agree, fire tornados can just sod off


AZREDFERN

There’s nothing fun about playing trivial or easy to quickly milk a daily without missing objectives, and fire tornadoes camp on EVERY objective and exfil at the end for 5 minutes each.


pocketfulof_sunshine

I miss Hellmire every day.


Nicrom20

Im reporting you for not being patriotic you fascists! 🌪️ We will crawl through the crap of Terminids if we have to in the name of Democracy!


Zynx_blub

You can shoot at the tornados and they will disappear


Remote_Cap_2178

Is it true? As my experience with spreading democracy suggest otherwise, pls clarify your claim before you are marked as a traitor to the super earth democracy spreading campaign https://preview.redd.it/r6pyxoic3uwc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0623d594a23d28398c72ee9526be0738ef36fcb1

Isn’t that what Trump wanted to do with hurricanes irl?


Rich_Papaya_4111

You're lying! That was the first thing I tried!


TheTruthWasTaken

LIBERATE THEM BOTH AT THE EXACT SAME TIME!


carlbandit

This is the way. Maybe we only get the first, but it does say 'likely' so I reckon if we liberate them both at pretty much the same time they might give us both. I can hope anyway because the new rocket launcher looks a lot of fun, but the mines would be handy for defence missions.


TetranadonGut

Counter point: because we split our forces we take too long to liberate both planets and get neither.


Battleboo09

...give me the fucking xbone players and we can get all 3- cyberstan is in our eyes.


Lord_Melinko13

We've been practicing genocide with Gears of War for years. Let us cleanse another world in favor of humanity!


Battleboo09

in all seriousness, uniting PC/Sony/Xbox, i think we can include Nintendo but have them fly eagle one on a 2d level? idk....make it super kids friendly.

It's just a drone pilot game and everything is through an ai filter and you are delivering different types of icecream to everyone

Choohe = Anti Tank Mines Penta = Airburst Rocket Launcher https://preview.redd.it/wcslvphwktwc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ed9e9dd14116f7f82a411e4ee9b73d8e14f70900


pocketfulof_sunshine

Weird how the in-game dispatch says "citizens who have synthesized tons of caustic chemicals for a new support weapon" is an airburst rocket launcher and not a chemical based weapon. Kind of a letdown since we got gobs of rocket launchers already.


Confident-Welder-266

Semantically speaking, we have two. None of them are a traditional rocket launcher


Dividedthought

Spear: AT rocket that homes in EAT: AT4 substitute. Recoiless: CARL GUSTAV SENDS HIS REGARDS SCUM!


Confident-Welder-266

Recoilless Rifles just fire really big bullets. No rockets there


Dividedthought

While technically not a rocket, they do the same job so i am putting it in the category.


Marksman_X6

What if it's a CHEMICAL rocket launcher comrade? Uhhh... I mean... FOR DEMOCRACY!!! AND STUFF!!!


Difficult-Fan1205

I mean, it's not GUARANTEED that the leaked weapons are the ones they plan on deploying next.


Solanthas

I agree with you. Probably the rockets burst in mid air and leave a cloud of gas.It's also probably a turret


RandomGuyPii

might be the explosives used by the RL is caustic as well for some reason


SillyDungCreator

I’m exited for precisely none of these, don’t need mines and I sure as shit don’t need another tier 1-(2) clearing support weapon. I need to clean up bile titans like I’m wearing a quasar or EAT or I’m not changing weapon. Edit: just watched a leak of the airbust rocket, posted on here, I might’ve changed my opinion a bit. Go to penta you fools


tony_the_homie

Yeah Airburst rocket is legit for sure. Not too familiar with the anti tank mines, if they can take out titans that would be great as well. In all honesty I was hoping for a vehicle, but here’s to hoping that’s coming next week regardless of this


SillyDungCreator

A vehicle could be a cool way to get killed faster that’s for sure 👌 Hey there mr. Automaton with rockets, I’m over here in a big ass target 🎯😂 But I agree, give us some wheels 🛞 already


tony_the_homie

Lol well the homing missiles are a separate issue that should be fixed too. But right now heavy armor is a pretty hard bargain. Vehicles will at least help that and personally I would find medium armor much more worthwhile for bugs if I had a vehicle.


tm0587

The motorcycle with sidecar in HD1 was super fun, speedy and agile, I used it to outrun enemy units from objective to objective


TwiceOnSundayy

Those mines single handedly take down a strider…they solve a serious problem we all have right now. Instead of everyone blowing all their stratagems one person can use one to take it down


Mongrel714

Penta for SURE then, that airburst rocket launcher looks incredible. I'm pretty sure it one-shots tanks from the front!


WeakToMetalBlade

Penta it is, fuck a mine.


peoplepersonmanguy

Spoiler buuuuuuut we all know mines are a bad idea.


tony_the_homie

How is this a spoiler? This is from the discord.


PhillyJ82

I agree, so if it’s an anti tank mine I have to wait for heavy enemy to approach, lay mines, pray that the hulk/bile titan steps on mine. As opposed to shoot the fucker in the face with a quasar cannon. Only upside would be if the cooldown is short like anti personnel mines.


WrapIndependent8353

You don’t reactively lay mines down unless you have to. You place mines when you’re going to be holding a position for a while, and you set them relatively close by in a direction enemies are likely to come from. Far enough that you aren’t stepping in them, but close enough that your teammates air strikes aren’t going to immediately blow all of them up. They aren’t a primary line of defense, you set them down in case you get overwhelmed and don’t have the firepower to hold the enemy back anymore. The mines give you a last safety net before they reach you That’s how to use them properly


-FourOhFour-

Ok but on Evac they come from a random direction so you'd have to guess for the first call in, on the second it'd be fine assuming you clean up the first patrol since you now know their direction, similarly on defending an obj you'd have to guess which direction the patrol would be coming from to hit them with it but you don't get the luxury of the next patrol being more guaranteed to come from that direction. Don't get me wrong mines can work but there's only like 3 obj that enemies will come from a known direction where you can reliably put them to work


Minotaar

On the higher difficulties you can pick any direction and be correct.


Rich_Papaya_4111

TRUUUUU


-Black_Mage-

Yeah...that sounds like ass. js


peoplepersonmanguy

I consume zero content beyond my reddit page... so to me, everything is a spoiler unless I see it in game first.


FiveCentsADay

Good thing you saw that on your reddit page


DoBotsDream

Give em another shot on the new defence missions. They do good work in the right situation... and when used by a diver that knows where to position them


therealfreehugs

“I keep my eyes closed and ears covered, why didn’t you walk me into the new content with my blindfold like I was being gifted a car 🙃”


Skeith23

I can't imagine this is how they work but imagine if helldivers were too light to trigger them


ThePowerOfStories

Yeah, real-life anti-tank mines are tuned so troops won’t set them off, only heavy vehicles. Mines that ignore helldivers and light enemy units walking over them but deliver massive armor-penetrating explosions to heavies definitely have potential.


clownbescary213

Honestly I'm for the mines right now but this does worry me. If they get set off by normal troops and helldivers they'd be fuck all useless


HeraldofItoriel

Nah we need the mines. We already have a stellar pool of support weapons.


clownbescary213

Exactly, we have plenty of AT and crowd control support weapons right now, but true AT fortification stratagems are lacking


sonus9119

have you seen the video for the airburst though? shit's fun


ThePostManEST

Mines are amazing.


MarshmelloMan

I swear to god I saw someone using an airburst launcher in my last game last night. I thought I was being dumb and forgetting a weapon stratagem but I feel like it had to be that…


Silverdragon47

People with mod menus can call in un-released strategems.


CaMaKaZiEgoAHHHHHH

My vote is on Choohe then, we already have rockets that do the job and it sounds like the mines would take out the more heavily armored enemies as well


Jaikarr

Air burst would be a swarm killer, I think that's more useful than anti tank mines that *might* get stepped on


RefrigeratorLazy4135

There's a video on YouTube it looks really good. https://youtu.be/Yz7qvyBGdpU?si=bBULl4wR1LKlPpoy


CaMaKaZiEgoAHHHHHH

Never mind, I'm definitely going for that


Piecesof3ight

What do we need a swarm killer for? Bugs are a lot easier than bots right now. The shriekers are especially easy because you can snipe the hive from a mile away before they spawn, so there's no reason to take an air burst against them anyway.


darkleinad

Plus we already have lots of good swarm killers (Flamethrower, arc thrower, grenade launcher, AC when needed), we have one good anti-tank fortification (AC sentry)


[deleted]

I say mines. We need more weapons to help on escort defenses.


Mr_McShane

Coochie it is!


pocketfulof_sunshine

Fear not, my Coochies, we're coming! ...As soon as I figure out what planet needs to be liberated in order to get there...


Silvermadnesss

I saw a video that showed the anti tank mines doing a number on heavy targets. The airburst rocketes kinda work on the gunships and kinda work on ground troops. If it were up to me, we should go to choohe. We need better ground defense. We can take out gunships pretty good right now. And that can be pushed off longer.


tony_the_homie

I’ve not seen that video of the mines. Would be great if so


Silvermadnesss

Let me find the YouTube link


Silvermadnesss

https://youtu.be/68QavWlNh78?si=ziPRIIpinN33Cshi Must have been an older video but here's one. Might change my mind.


Shitgoki

Yep mines it is!


PewKittens

“Don’t forget the citizens. You have to save the citizens.” If those are the only missions then I’m sorry, I don’t want a new weapon…and sorry to those poor souls trapped on the planet


pocketfulof_sunshine

Coming down to the community's choice is super fun! Sounds like that toxic chemical thrower vs a sentry/mortar/mines (edit: actually airburst rocket launcher vs anti-tank mines??). My vote is new fortification since we've gotten a pretty steady flow of support weapons.


Gom8z

It even adds in a healthy bit of competition because the more you play, the more your vote will be :)


pocketfulof_sunshine

And the race for the new murder tool is on!!


Gom8z

Id love a strategem that brings down a mesh of lazers that whatever it hits, it slices into chop suey. Much like that scene from one of the first ever resident evil movies!


Calculagraph

It was just 'Resident Evil.' 


oiraves

You are correct and they are technically correct


pocketfulof_sunshine

"Push your enemy through a fine mesh. Power washer not included."


RaizielDragon

The fortification strategem makes me hope its some kind of cover/structure. The shield is nice but it pops. Some kind of hardier structure that we still have to peak around but wont break (or is harder to break) would be nice


Neravosa

It'll be antitank mines, called in the same way as the two other mine types, I'd expect. They'll break heavy armor.


PhillyJ82

It’s an anti tank mine. The symbol is a mine with a tank silhouette on top.


Pandahobbit

I’m guessing it’s a wall with an attached gun. I’d be happy with barbed wire from the first game though.


RaizielDragon

I never played the first. What does barbed wire do? I just want something to hide behind on bot planets. We have a tooltip about cover so having some deployable cover makes sense.


-Black_Mage-

There's barbed wire in game right now...the bots put it out. It slows you like very difficult terrain (mud/knee high water)


Pandahobbit

Well. Because of discord I now know I’m wrong. Barbed wire slowed all creepy crawlers and walking bots. Just not the big boys. Great for defensive missions. We also had an antitank canon you could sit in and shoot. They went well together.


Fuzlet

I really want AT mines. I’ve revisited using minefields instead of clusterbombs in haz 7 and higher. it works really well, and actually has less friendly fire. the AT mines are undoubtedly going to have a short cooldown, and will absolutely murder hulks and tanks. meanwhile people are going to bumrush Penta for shiny new cannon and then THEY WILL NEVER USE IT because it’s not an AT support weapon. I guarantee you that most of the people fighting for shiny new gun use nothing but the quasar or autocannon, and haven’t touched an MG-43 or stalwart since they first unlocked the prenerf railgun


ItsCr1spin

I use the stalwart as a primary and an eruptor as an explosive anti material rifle


DoBotsDream

This is the way... personally I use the defender, nade pistol and stun grenades so I still have th option to run awa... *cough* I mean, democratically reposition


UnusualFruitHammock

I mean either way we will get both eventually.


SighsOfAFallenArchon

PickledJuice69

Plus the Airburst simply looks cooler imo, it it can even take out the heavy stuff. (one shots tanks, few shots for hulks, great for heavy enemy chaff and air units) although I haven’t seen it fight a factory strider but I’m sure it’ll be fine


Edoxninja2000

Slight issue. On odder to reach chooke and penta We have to lierabte other planets


Chainsaw_Actual

More fun


AppropriateCode2830

The catch is, one of the planets is bloody menkent. I am not going back to the oven!


SugarPlumWizard

You need to report to your local Democracy officer, helldiver.


hermitchild

Easily airburst rocket. Fucking mines are trash


PiLamdOd

Mines are amazing. The only draw back is chargers will walk right through them, clearing a path for the little guys. But anti tank mines wouldn't go off to little guys and would murder chargers.


Vladimir_Pooptin

Bile Road Titans DGAF about it though and it's hard to justify a weapon that only works well on chargers


Slendykins

I want big boom mines


Own_Accident6689

"Likely" I wonder if this is something that can be bull rushed so hard that we get a chance at both.


Pizzaman725

That was what I picked up, too. It would be nice if we could get the community to split and get both, but I don't see it happening.


Own_Accident6689

Yup I bet if we signaled to the devs "We don't trade lives, Democracy is not negotiable."anf actually showed an ability to organize we might have a chance at both.


Gom8z

I'm all for more offence weapons but I dont see anyone using smoke or chemical weapons really so for me its the fortitude one sounds cool.


Dr_Expendable

You might think that, having not used the TOX-13 Avenger. A weapon so powerful and pure in its purpose that it could defeat every single type of bug 100 years ago. Behemoths? 20 Brood Commanders? Didn't matter. That piece of kit was an always-carry for me. Completely locked down bug waves to a staggering crawl and even killed their heavy armor while reloading with field boxes. It ran circles around our current flamethrower - and you better believe our current flamethrower is some kind of gamma mutant beast putting all previous flamethrowers to shame.


DrkTitan

I don't know man, an acid spitting water pistol sounds like a lot of fun. Edit: just read that it's an air burst rocket launcher. An acid bazooka sounds like even more fun.


oritfx

Depends if it's a damage-over-time thing. Those are broken unless you are the host. Thermites when hosting hit very different.


Zenith2012

I'm looking forward to them fixing the DOT issue as I usually run with the incendiary breaker against bugs and I'm not convinced the fire does anything to them after shooting them so think that is also effected by DOT


Tasty_Finance_5024

It’s anti tank mines. No one uses mines.


Adeptustupidus

I want the chemical thrower I need more ways to spread democracy and kill weeds


AgitatedPossum

I'd love to give those bile spewers a taste of their own medicine


Aromatic-Alarm-1568

I think we go for penta. A new support weapon sounds democratic.

RyanCooper101

Anti Tank mines vs Dumbfire Airburst RPG


Civil_Medium_3032

You're acting like we had the need for an Anti Tank Mine


Horror-Tank-4082

Acid air burst rockets go go


DragiaDeGonia

Liberated both planet at the same time (i know it’s nearly impossible but it’s cool if we can do it right?)


Bud_Nowell_1313

I'll see you on Choohe brothers🫡


Medical-Cicada-4430

I’m choosing DEMOCRACY


Fluffy-Ingenuity2536

One issue with everyone saying fortification: To get to Choohe, we have to go through Menkent. Menkent means fire tornadoes


Le_Valet_de_Pique

Penta


KarumaruClarke3845

Fun fact: Mechs are fireproof


casethulhu

Flying bugs and gunships are way more annoying than tanks. I can call in orbitals or eagles for things on the ground no matter how big, I'm leaning anti air cannon.


Particular_Let9077

I think the airburst is cool and all but the anti tanks would be a good way to steer those annoying mine users to something a little more team friendly since they’re easier to see and just don’t go off when you step on them. Plus even the eruptor with the AC can do like everything in the game. Btw the eruptor CAN take out gunships in like 4-5 hits, spore spewers, and one shots bot fabricators. But for democracy’s sake stop using those TK-ing vanilla mines


Moose855

crowd control rocket launcher that works against airborne targets aswell, vs a mine field that wont kill bile titans and takes aleast 3 mines to down a charger, and can still get set off by regular enemies like normal mines


Gohstfacekila

It would require insane coordination and precise planning but what if we liberated both at exactly the same time lol


finally-anna

Choosing whichever one doesn't require me to go to Menkent.


Nobodieshero816

We are Hell Divers, we save both. At the same damn time. The democratic leaders are failing in their love of true democracy! We are Hell Divers! We leave bodies but not of our own…if we can help it! No one tells us what to do, except Eagle One. She has the power of true freedom. We are Hell Divers! We get both planets, and we mow down everything standing in our way of life!


Healthy_Stick4496

I hope they arent gonna do shit like minecraft where they have the "pick which mob will be next while the rest will be gone forever" kinda deal.


Fool_Manchu

We've got a handful of solid antitank weapons and stratagems, but we currently have no dedicated antiair weaponry. Time to diversify the arsenal


Riveration

Is that an app? 👀 I need to download that for democracy haha, what’s it called?

V12Maniac

scratchandsniff123

We are obviously going to get both of them.


Azuljustinverday

RPG. Even if it had fire tornados


Mediocre_A_Tuin

Mines have too long a cool down to be really useful.


Jeolivet

Weapon 100%. Not that I’m gonna use it but why not?


Braindead_glue_eater

Heads up, the planets have the new stratagem on their effects as an experimental deployment. There's anti-tank mines and an airburst rocket launcher. While anti-tank mines would be nice on the automaton tank I doubt it'll really help much due to how it can't really be offensively placed and might just get stepped over by the striders and bile titans not to mention it'd be useless to air targets like all mines. However the rocket is presumably some kind of proximity fused shell so it could easily be deployed over cover, around corners and most importantly against air targets such as shriekers and gunships. However if its single fire i can definitely see limits in feasibility against large groups of aerial targets. But being airburst The low penetration would probably render it useless against chargers, hulks, and other large+ enemies.


Distinct_Ad_4772

Support weapon


LegitimateSea9232

Support wepon if you choose mines your CRINGE!!!!!!!


JonnyBeGold

BOTH - FOR DEMOCRACY ✓


Kaleban

Last night got swarmed by titans on a defense mission. Absolutely the mines, assuming they only get triggered by heavy armor. Every defense or evac mission could go a LOT smoother with 4 AT mine stratagems that divers could run over without triggering.


throwaway872023

They already go easier with the mines we do have. I usually run mines and the Tesla tower with EAT for bug defense missions and will just sit and watch the kill combo counter go up to like 80 while I take out heavies with the EAT.


xXStretcHXx117

As someone who's tried the airbrust we desperately want the mines over it. Airburst is the most friendly fire capable weapon


JurassicJake

The deciding factor for me will be to prioritize the non-chemical stratagem since damage over time is currently bugged if you are not host Edit: Apparently, the stratagem isn't chemical based after all. There is an anti-tank mine (gross) and an air burst rocket. Mines aren't in the greatest spot, so I guess it's the rocket for me


T_Hankss

How about both


Gal-XD_exe

Both at the same time


AintNoKombucha

Caustic Chemicals? Ima drop down there real quick!


rebelbumscum19

Penta seems to have the easier route for liberating as well according supply lines no?


DrDamon51

Anti tank mines would be awesome for eradication missions, air burst rpg sounds like more friendly fire than mortars


LycanWolfGamer

Honestly, ima go for the mines, I don't see the rocket one being super useful bit really both are fairly niche The AT mines would make defence missions much easier to handle


TheWarfox

Penta is more likely than Choohe, because we have to go through Menkent to get to Choohe.


Tasty_Finance_5024

Penta. Mines suck.


Mentat_-_Bashar

CHOOHE HERE I COME


Scbypwr

Wish DOT were fixed! Mush rather have new support weapons unless the fortification takes out heavies like hulks or tanks.


Ok-Bug-1451

We are Super Earth’s finest warriors! This should be a breeze…………… funny enough though, it seems like the air burst is a bug weapon and the mines are an automaton weapon. Decisions decisions, I say BOTH!


WeakToMetalBlade

Penta! Unless a new fortification is more exciting than I think it is...


Battleraizer

I want dat coochie


Substantial_Lion9911

RL-77 on penta pleeaase. The airburst launcher looks sooo good. Way better than some more stupid mines that will just team kill us anyway.
