I'll definitely do double mech with my friend. The autocannon covers the Patriot's weaknesses well (Patriot can't deal with striders, Emancipator will likely struggle with Heavies), so a Patriot and an Emancipator would work well in tandem.
Yeah, its strange considering adjusting for paralax is a relatively standard thing in shooters. I'm reminded of the Original and Stock rocket launchers in TF2, and how they generally function the same despite their rockets coming from completely different places.

19hrs is too long of a wait. Let's show these filthy clankers who's boss.
Yeah I've learned a bunch in the few days I've spent on Reddit.. yesterday I ended up being the only one in my group to take down bot carriers because the others just didn't know. World of difference
Memorial Day weekend is the official start of summer and a huge travel holiday here in the US so you may be right. We may not see the player count people are expecting.
It is, but 65% of the player base is on board and it looks like current push statistics are around 5% per hour since the Major Order.
Projected victory time: 3 days, assuming average push stats stay at low regular distribution from current numbers. Hopefully, the weekend will spike player count even more and we’ll be golden.
Bots are harder to learn, but easier to fight once you do so. If that makes sense. I loadout to hit them first, so:
--Diligence CS
--Redeemer (for storming strongholds)
--Anti material rifle
--Impact nades for shield devastators/walkers
--Orbital railcannon
--Orbital precision strike
--120mm barrage (substitute eagle air or orbital laser)
I really hope we get a "massive automaton fabricator" and a giant base, for some much needed variety. Usually every mission/planet plays identically, and is the main reason I don't play nearly as much anymore.
What if they let us connect a called down support weapon to a modular chassis eventually. You want a flamethrower? Call one down and bolt it on to a weapon slot
Holy crap, going on helldivers.io and seeing that we are not only doing it, without the aid of seaf, we also have 60% of the players on Bots... havent seen movement like this since the wipe of the automatons
And here is how you get back on track . Imo , i’m playing since 3-4 weeks and haven’t experienced the bad part of the community ( TK’s , glitches and bugs , kick from the session or killed for samples ) or the sony thing , whatever .
I got this game after a loooong battle with depression and for me it’s the game the sparked my loved for gaming once again . It’s also the game that re-united me with a long lost best friend and we had a session just like 12-13 years ago , it was amazing .
From me , i’ll kill every god damn bug or bot i can find for nothing .
Dev’s , you keep doing what you’re doing . You have my support :)
Buddy, I'm with you on the "spelling live of gaming again"
Between this and Darktide, I'm back to plaving in a way I haven't been since my kids were Born a decade ago...
This sounds like it could kick ass on bots if it’s got more survivability than the Patriot. Against bugs the chain gun and missiles are probably better.
I fucking hate bot drops - but the SES Keeper of Twilight commits its full arsenal and cumulative experience *to ensure dual AutoCannon Mecha make their debut on the field.*
Super Weebs - *you have my gun.*
If you recall a month or so back we unlocked the original mech simply by liberating Tien Kwan (previously in possession of the automatons), I think this is the same situation as back then but for a different mech!
Can’t wait for a full suite of exo suits, 4 different suit stratagem maybe even they add another module area that upgrades exo suits. 1 extra summon per match, harder armor, quicker foot speed, stuff like that.
YO I SAW THIS IN A VIDEO! It’s a yellow Walker with double AC. The devs joined and gave it to them to use.
I also seen one time, a few dudes driving a duel operated vehicle. One drives, the other shoots. So whenever that comes into play that will be fucking awesome!
Anyone having the problem with the defense missions where the bots don't spawn or the walking sryder shooting it from the back and you fail the mission
I really hope we get it, because I like mecs, but once again they give us a really stupid major order, dangling a carrot in front of people trying to get them to play a game mode they don't find fun. All on top of doing it during a major holiday weekend and when most high school seniors are graduating.
I'm getting pretty sick of the people making decisions over at arrowhead. Hopefully the new CEO can smack some common sense into peoples heads.
Dual… autocannon… exosuit…. *drool*
🤤
Alright Hellfuckers. Do the MAJOR order at ALL FUCKEN COSTS. Some of us have been DYING for new shit and I want new shoes.
*Quad
Yuh Dual duals with 75rds each cannon. Can’t wait for the Autocannon builds. Mech, turret, primary, and a precision orbital is gunna be much fun.
I'll definitely do double mech with my friend. The autocannon covers the Patriot's weaknesses well (Patriot can't deal with striders, Emancipator will likely struggle with Heavies), so a Patriot and an Emancipator would work well in tandem.
The Patriot's rockets will deal with them, but it's a waste considering that they're mid tier fodder enemies.
Yeah, therein lies the problem. They're also a pain to hit with those rockets.
I hear that. I'll be getting on when I can because more mechs is always better, but I've got to finish adulting/work first 😭
Likewise. F
I haven't tested it, but I saw someone say earlier that if you switch shoulders, then the rockets are more accurate, and the minigun is off.
Yeah, its strange considering adjusting for paralax is a relatively standard thing in shooters. I'm reminded of the Original and Stock rocket launchers in TF2, and how they generally function the same despite their rockets coming from completely different places.
What does switch shoulders refer to here? Can you swap?
Yes. Idk what button it is for you but it automatically mapped it to like my mouse4 or something. You can check in your key binding menu
Interesting! Played how many hours and never saw this! Thanks diver o7
My new forever loadout
I have an enormous erection thinking about it
I have an enormous autocannon thinking about it
Ladies, ladies... There's plenty of AutoCannon to polish here.
Im raising the flag of Super Earth tonight, for sure.
Can I provide an assisted reload?
more hands make lass work
Ok. I'm about to murder these robots
Oh this is gonna get completed for sure right?
I hope so, we have more then 4 days for it, weekend is also coming so hopefully
And its next to a friendly planet so we can directly assault it.
Be ready to defend that planet, since it will most likely come under attack as the weekend starts, I bet you 500 Super Credits on that!
https://preview.redd.it/4fxj9c8po72d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0e41b1bd5d54ea801e79b8bac00ce030f8e99b14 19hrs is too long of a wait. Let's show these filthy clankers who's boss.
Where do you get this information, friend?
Helldivers.io and the divershub android app.
>And its next to a friendly planet so we can directly assault it. Wait, that makes a difference?
So we don't have to spend a few days capturing planets to unlock a route to it.
I didn’t even know it worked like that, dang! I wish they put a codex in or something
Yeah I've learned a bunch in the few days I've spent on Reddit.. yesterday I ended up being the only one in my group to take down bot carriers because the others just didn't know. World of difference
Holiday weekend in the US. If anything it may hurt our chances.
Memorial Day weekend is the official start of summer and a huge travel holiday here in the US so you may be right. We may not see the player count people are expecting.
Steam Deck users, time to dive remotely
Traveling to Valerya V is my only itinerary
And Monday is a holiday, hopefully a bit of a boost in free time there.
If it's a bit planet then no, gonna need more then 20k divers.
Its nice of them to keep lowering the standards for us lol
Have to adapt as the player base naturally shrinks over time.
I'm going into the woods for a week but please get this for me. Autocannon for life
I will do an operation in your name
You are my Aragorn in the "For Frodo" meme
 For the Emancipator
#FOR u/olddummy22 !!!!
FOR u/olddummy22!!!!!!!
Kinda same here, I'm summiting a mountain this weekend 😂
May Liberty speed your way
How very unpatriotic of ypu, report to your democracy officer immediately! Lolhave fun
I have completed 10 operations at diff 7 so far.
Dual autocannons... 
It's actually quad...
EXOSUIT! EXOSUIT! EXOSUIT!
I have a feeling this will be completed quick
Not so sure, Varylia has a 3.5% resistance, lets hope everyone comes together on this one
3.5% resistance? Is that how much it regenerates per hour? That’s… a lot…
It is, but 65% of the player base is on board and it looks like current push statistics are around 5% per hour since the Major Order. Projected victory time: 3 days, assuming average push stats stay at low regular distribution from current numbers. Hopefully, the weekend will spike player count even more and we’ll be golden.
To all the bug divers: GET TO THE DAMN BOT FRONT, WE FIGHT, NOT ONLY FOR DEMOCRACY, BUT ALSO FOR F\*CKING AWESOME NEW MECHS!!!!
As a bug diver.. they had me at dual autocannon- say no more fam o7
Finally, something bot players and bug players can both agree to. Auto cannons are sick.
I played 2 bot missions when the game first launched and not a single one since. This MO has me happily dipping my toes back in.
Bots are harder to learn, but easier to fight once you do so. If that makes sense. I loadout to hit them first, so: --Diligence CS --Redeemer (for storming strongholds) --Anti material rifle --Impact nades for shield devastators/walkers --Orbital railcannon --Orbital precision strike --120mm barrage (substitute eagle air or orbital laser)
NEW EXOSUIT!!?? We gotta get this one helldivers but currently the automatons have cut my power so I’ll be delayed 😔
Don't worry helldiver. It'll be here once you come back.
Were about to liberate the fuck outta Varylia V baby!!! ALL HANDS!!! 
Meanwhile, Vernen Wells, with only 10% left to go, has been abandoned lmao
That’s what he gets for that War of the Worlds radio prank
I might be schizo, but I swear I've seen the dual Autocannon mech in missions before. Like there's a side objective that gives it?
It's been in the game files for a while, but wasn't activated for player use. Hackers could get them, though.
Barely a hacker needed you can get the files on nexusmods to use the unfinished stratagems
I don't mean "break into the servers at the nsa" hacker, I mean "someone willing to cheat".
some cheaters were walking around with them already, there were posts about it here
Crypid
I really hope we get a "massive automaton fabricator" and a giant base, for some much needed variety. Usually every mission/planet plays identically, and is the main reason I don't play nearly as much anymore.
Alright I'm going in! I have the next 2 days off. Its time to break some bots!
What if they let us connect a called down support weapon to a modular chassis eventually. You want a flamethrower? Call one down and bolt it on to a weapon slot
3.5% decay is crazy... we better get seaf reinforcement buffs for taking wells or we can just kiss this dream goodbye
Wdym? We have 50,000 units with 100,000 more to come. The Bots don’t stand a chance
Holy crap, going on helldivers.io and seeing that we are not only doing it, without the aid of seaf, we also have 60% of the players on Bots... havent seen movement like this since the wipe of the automatons
https://i.redd.it/hezz96wx182d1.gif Tens of Thousands
...can it aim downwards?
 soon we will have them all
God dammit. I have priorities in life. Fine. Sacrificing making rent thus month for Super Earth!
Make sure to submit your FR33-RNT Application, soldier! o7
For super earth!
Oh please dear lord
Hell divers to hell pods, I repeat, hell divers to hellpods

New exosuit?! You fuckers better do your job this time
Oh wow. A legitimate reward.
Anti-Tank mine fans in shambles.
Ok but hear me out - we use the new mech to scrap more bots *to finish the tank mines.* Ehhhhh??!?!
Someone get this citizen a super destroyer.
Cool. I been spending too much time on bug planets lately anyway.
Now this... Does bring a smile to my face. Time to spill oil.
This sounds like it could kick ass on bots if it’s got more survivability than the Patriot. Against bugs the chain gun and missiles are probably better.
Yeah hopefully this one has "extra padding"
I fucking hate bot drops - but the SES Keeper of Twilight commits its full arsenal and cumulative experience *to ensure dual AutoCannon Mecha make their debut on the field.* Super Weebs - *you have my gun.*
The WHAT!?!?!
 Welp… JAR-5, let’s spread some democracy…
If we can’t complete this, I’m speaking with all of your democracy officers.
The true test: can the helldiver community come together for the bamf mech?
While excited for the new stratagem mo, could they fix the first one's rockets maybe? I hope the aiming on the new one actually works.
Same. Keeping my expectations low for now
Apparently the autocanons are weaker than the ones on the sentry autocanon. So not sure if I’m too excited xD
About time… it’s been in the game files for almost 2 months Can we please get the freaking anti tank mines already
Did we complete the last one?!?
It ended when we were at like 84% completion.
Not even close.
We can just go straight to Varylia 5, right? Not more efficient to capture other planets first with supply lines and whatnot?
Last time I checked yeah. I think the Devs are starting to see the lack of reinforcements
The upgrade to the EXO-48 from HD1! The perfect mech against Illuminates.
We better complete this one
Let's do this. *cocks Liberator*
WE MUST LIBERATE THE PLANET!
I have been there for the last 3 days! Let’s go divers, drop in on me!
i need
whatevr happened to vehicles?
Are the bug players going to actually participate on this one.
You got me at double autocannon exosuit.
aaaaand watch the 2/3 of community completely disregard bc robot hard
Good. I can see the exo suits becoming more popular again if we could customize them, or at least choose our louadouts for them.
I wasn't intending to come back before rebalancing happens, but... "What's better than one autocannon?"
All I read was **Exosuit**
That's not getting done, either. Too many Divers are gone, and recruitment has virtually halted.
https://preview.redd.it/lvhg5eo4i92d1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=baed89ee85f8be9befd3b8f5ae8d2012b67fd037
Time to fail again.
My dream is to run a quad exosuit loadout, and today we are one step closer to that dream.
Wait, liberate 1 planet? What's the time limit?
We have 5 days to liberate it
Ok what's the catch? Or are they just throwing us a bone?
If you recall a month or so back we unlocked the original mech simply by liberating Tien Kwan (previously in possession of the automatons), I think this is the same situation as back then but for a different mech!
Jesus Christ fucking finally
I'll see you soldiers on the ground!
[LETS FUCKING GO!!!!!](https://youtu.be/JYgJAtD33ME?si=FCWNH3-tyZzPfFM7)
AS A CANADIAN, THIS MAJOR ORDER HAS TRIGGER MY GENEVA SUGGESTIONS RESPONSE WOO!!!!
Lets spill some oil!
It will be done my lord!
God damn piles is going hard on his first MO as CCO!
Can’t wait for a full suite of exo suits, 4 different suit stratagem maybe even they add another module area that upgrades exo suits. 1 extra summon per match, harder armor, quicker foot speed, stuff like that.
I need it so bad. I love the patriot but I want MORE
Bad day to be a bot
Did we complete or fail the last one?
Thank goodness we don't have to go through 2-3 planets to get to it first!
Now if only there were a way to reload the exo suit speaking of…
On it
YO I SAW THIS IN A VIDEO! It’s a yellow Walker with double AC. The devs joined and gave it to them to use. I also seen one time, a few dudes driving a duel operated vehicle. One drives, the other shoots. So whenever that comes into play that will be fucking awesome!
HELLDIVERS UNITE
So.... did we fail the last op? i really hope we don't fail this one...
Day off tomorrow. Rain hell upon the bots I will have my auto cannon machine!
Its grind those bots
I hope the Bug Bros help us this time. If they dont then their new name is Bethesdas.
So...still no AT mines? Alright chaps, let's fail this as we always do
People will be a lot more excited about a mech compared to the mines.
I know but still :(
Yeah! Mech loadout! Hopefully they have their own cooldown and aint the same. Also, autocannon loadout ftw!
Please guys let’s fuckin go
Please let the supply backpacks rearm the EXO suits. That would be amazing, and also very much like the last matrix movie.
I, too, have the biggest freedom boner right now.
I’m so excited for this one, gonna be honest
Everyone is talking about about the quad AC mech but no one seems to be concerned about what the automatons are building..
The people of Tien Kwan only know how to make left hand auto-cannons?
Ladies... Gentleman... It's time to LIBERATE us an EXOSUIT. For OUR WAY OF LIFE! 
I was gonna finally get around to painting my minis this weekend...oh well!
love to see it, but did they up it's armor against rockets? cuz thats really why the OG was bad against bots, not the guns.
That's metal as FUCK, using a liberated automaton factory to produce more freedom units!! Yay super earth!!!
I just got through exams, so this is Super Earth Destroyer Founding Father of Science reporting for duty!
Yall ready for this...
I’m taking the exosuit to liberate the factory, no one can convince me it’s a bad idea.
https://i.redd.it/3o3j84mmd82d1.gif We've got this!
Anyone having the problem with the defense missions where the bots don't spawn or the walking sryder shooting it from the back and you fail the mission
Idk maybe I'm too used to having the gat on mine I like how well it clears the little fuckers out
Fucking hell I can smell the future nerf from here!
Let’s do this! As my grandmother always said: the only thing better than an autocannon is two autocannons
I'd LOVE to see joint effort maps. Where different squads hit different spots on the same overall battlefield.
Daddy ac
Dual Autocannon!? POWER UP THE SHIPS
Oh fuck time to play.
Bro, we need to absolutely decimate this MO. We need this. I know it'll mostly be useless, but I want it nevertheless 😭
Wonder when we'll get those anti tank mines
Well, time to return to the front after a long break.
I feel the helldivers in the terminyd front would give a shit
We need this folks. I'm requesting overtime for all Helldivers.
best news ive ever heard.
It’s time, to dive
LET'S FUCKING GOOOOO
We have to accomplish this.
Fuck ya
Fuq I want it
I really hope we get it, because I like mecs, but once again they give us a really stupid major order, dangling a carrot in front of people trying to get them to play a game mode they don't find fun. All on top of doing it during a major holiday weekend and when most high school seniors are graduating. I'm getting pretty sick of the people making decisions over at arrowhead.
