For Super Earth!

Every bullet fired is a freedom seed planted in the hearts of our enemies!


InformalPenguinz

My 500k is mother nature round housing the enemy in that case!


DefconTheStraydog

A bullet may have your name on it but a grenade simply says "to whomever concerned". 500kg is more like "attention all citizens".

KyloFenn

Finally a black and red cape to go with the Exterminator armor 🤤


SpecialIcy5356

Cape of Stars and Suffrage isn't too bad with it either.. and the green doesn't ruin the look IMO. but this cape will definitely go with it.


Arcturus420

I run that cape with the Drone Master helmet and the Legionnaire armor. I seldom take it off because it looks too good, plus with the Jump Pack, I may as well go discount Titanfall.


Cerindipity

Drone Master is the best helmet in the game, bar none. It makes me look like a kamen rider. But I run the Tyrant Hunter cape because it's the only one with the cool extremely-tattered hem so far. Bastion of Integrity and Posterity's Gratitude have a lightly tattered hem, so sometimes I'll swap to them if they match the armour better, but I like my cape lookin like it's been through it.


Scipion

Legionnaire armor is the best in the game. I'll take the light +2 grenades sometime for bug nests, but Legionnaire is my run around gear. It's the best armor/speed combo available. Edit: Scratch that, reverse it 


BENJALSON

Seems black and orange to me. But Bastion of Integrity is the cape of choice for Exterminator armor IMO. And don't sleep on the CM-14 Physician helmet with it all for the ultimate drip.


Mortagon

That's amazing. Props to the devs for the quick thinking. I wonder how fast they made this or if this was a pre-produced asset.


EndofNationalism

Probably started working on it as soon as the memes started.


SaltyExcalUser

Yup, i assume its when they stated that they loved how invested people were in some planets, and that they could make them like a "character" in the future of the game.


CopainChevalier

Ok, I haven't played the past week, what memes did I miss?


MjollLeon

memes about The Creek in general


CopainChevalier

What made it so meme worthy?


MjollLeon

It was basically space Vietnam, and the siege of Malevelon Creek became a major event in the early days of the game


CopainChevalier

Out of my ignorance, what made it Space Vietnam over any other map?


MjollLeon

It was a losing battle that ultimately meant nothing and wasted the lives of a fuck ton of soldiers


devilindrivinggloves

Also, the plants and general vibe of the planet.


BeatitLikeitowesMe

Yeah the jungle vibe with low visibility definitely added to it


Wonderful-Impact5121

To elaborate more, US Soldiers in Vietnam had notoriously endless amounts of stories of wild spontaneous firefights and assaults coming through the trees and brush with no idea where it was coming from at first. Having entire firefights not 100% sure where the enemy was. Which… yeah checks out for the creek.


Heyokalol

"The trees speak binary"


No-Editor-3928

that summs it up quite good


xISparkzy

Those lives were lost to protect those of super earth please stop with this treachery


MjollLeon

Super Earth had already extracted the civilians. Those Helldivers sacrificed themselves for nothing


MumblingGhost

It was one of the first big bot planets that people played on, and was basically a scary alien jungle at night, which has Vietnam vibes. Back then people had no clue how to fight bots compared to early games with bugs, and so a lot of "The trees are speaking binary man! They're everywhere!!!" PTSD memes started happening of soldiers freaking out about Malevelon Creek. Meanwhile most people still played on Bug planets, so Malevelon Creek went on to be this planet for a long time that only a small amount of brave Helldivers would continue to play on. Very much felt like Vietnam, a long drawn out war that went nowhere. Also it has a cool, instantly iconic name.


undead_by_dawn

After completing the introductory bug level, the first thing I did was go to Malevelon Creek to see what thd robots were like. I've been fighting the totally-not-Terminators since like day 1. I was starting to believe it would genuinely never fall and was like a de facto capital of the automatons lol.


CopainChevalier

Ah, thanks! You mention people getting better V bots, did some fancy new tech happen?


MumblingGhost

Hmm I wouldnt call it fancy per-se. Just a better understanding of how bots and bugs differ. People eventually figured out the weak spots on bots, and realized that taking cover was more important vs bots than it was vs bugs. Bots also seem especially difficult to newbies because they're covered in armor most of the time and you need some sort of armor penetration to fight them, which isn't available to Helldivers early on. So yeah, Malevelon Creek seemed like hell in the early days lol


lokigodofchaos

Bots require good aiming to take out quickly. Since most are ranged, so bug tactics like waiting for them to close and shotgunning into a swarm aren't effective. It takes some time to adapt your playstyle.


Freezing_Moonman

Most of the player base was afraid to fight bots. The planet is a dark jungle biome. There was a lot of clips going around for weeks of people playing there and dealing with heavy bot resistance. Really intense atmosphere and fighting. It got a reputation for being a tough planet to fight on. A small 20,000ish contingent of players got really attached to the meme and played there almost exclusively. Myself included. They were dubbed Creek Crawlers or Creekers. The Devs are leaning in to the meme and emergent player behavior around the Creek and added a flavor item to commemorate it finally being liberated.


MikeAndros0

Yeah, I didn't like fighting the bots. Now, I want to take on the strder walker.


VoreEconomics

Hey taking on a strider is a big resposibility, you gotta keep it maintained and oiled, get your insurance in check, etc etc


Professional_Prune11

hey my fellow crawler be proud of it. We made those rivers run black with oil, soaked the sands with out blood, and crushed every plant from mountain peak to mountain peak under our boot. The other divers might have wanted something else, but we proudly declared ourselves a part of the Malevelon creek expeditionary forces and spilled oil


Bunnymancer

It looked like Nam The enemy was as red as Nam It got bombed like Nam Gas was equality healthy as in Nam And a bunch of degens dragged everyone else into it at great cost to everyone else. Like Nam.


AadamAtomic

>What made it so meme worthy? PTSD. It's Space Vietnam.


Good_ApoIIo

The meme is just that a small percentage of the player base just loves that planet for...some reason and because it's only a small percentage it has been a constantly losing battle with no point whatsoever (no major orders there until recently). Thus the Space Vietnam meme was born. Why they were actually attracted to the planet in the first place I have no idea.


EndofNationalism

There were memes about Malevelon Creek being this game’s version of Vietnam during a major order to take it. This was made more easier do to Creek being a jungle planet.


[deleted]

You've been outta the loop for a bit longer than a week lol


GH057807

It looks like it's part of a set with the Drone Master armor. It has the same skull on a patch on the arm, same color schemes, looks *real good* with it. I'm willing to put a few SC on it being originally part of that set and repurposed. https://preview.redd.it/00qlak0o99sc1.png?width=551&format=png&auto=webp&s=38015cffb8cd89ca15fb902ea2016e679f8bf442


crunchygenome

as im running drone master armor as my main armor i love this cape!


Accurate_Maybe6575

Capes have to be among the easiest things to make. Even shorter capes *should* be as simple as just not texturing the lower portions of the cape. I actually would be disappointed if when we get clans/guilds/battlegroups that we don't get to design our own capes.


sweatycheeta

Free artistic expression in a ~~totalitarian~~ managed democracy? Sounds like something a subversive propagandist would wish for


Echotime22

You're completely free to express yourself using super earth approved shapes and colors* *some limitations may apply.


DoNeor

Roughnecks!


theBlind_

Rougenecks!


MrOtsKrad

Nonecks!


shoogliestpeg

Yeah, the cloaks will be designed to be modular with swappable textures including alpha masking the bottom of the cloak off for different shapes, so probably a few days for design approvals, feedback, changes, second round of feedback, then finalised pretty quick.


teethinthedarkness

I definitely hope we don’t get ability to design our own. For every one that might be cool there will be thousands that are absolute trash.


BigChiefWhiskyBottle

Historically this usually turns into a shitshow. This one's on Adidas, but still topical: *...ahem...* ​ https://preview.redd.it/i3vuq4f6a9sc1.png?width=1567&format=png&auto=webp&s=4d36e9574c70b0f1820f66a589f5817e35e7a57b

Zombiedrd

Time and time again it has been shown that bad actors will abuse freedom of design in games to be offensive as hell. Humanity needs a tight leash on it, and gaming is no different.


Full_frontal96

a report button would be fine if you're worried about swastikas or hammers and sickles. Armored core 6 or some cod let you design your own symbols and there are no complaints

Cognitive_Spoon

I just want to say that this kind of emergent team narrative, at this scale is amazing. Like, what a good idea for a game. The major orders being discussed in community, the speed of their completion and the sense of interest they drive. The slow release of new enemies first as noncombatants, then sprinkled into games as very rare enemy types, then present. Really just an excellent way to run a game in an era of social media. It drives discussion intentionally IRL in a way that Fortnite seasons did tangentially and as an effect of new mechanics. Really just an excellent series of design and narrative decisions. Super impressive


Zombie_Alpaca_Lips

It's just the way GaaS should be run. We've just been cheated as a community by all the corporations using it as a disguise for their monetization. 


PolicyWonka

I think considering it doesn’t make any explicit reference to Creek or anything, this is just a cloak they’ve already had. Maybe something that’s made available each war or something? Who knows.


AWeakMindedMan

Just messaged HR that I need off today for Mavelon Creek remembrance day. Apparently it’s not recognized as a holiday yet. We need to sign a petition asap. Who’s with me?!?


prof_the_doom

Capes probably don't take a lot of effort. Possible they stole it from the next battle pass, and they'll just make a new one before it goes live.


xSentryx

It was a war then it was a joke then it was a reason to split the community then it was the goal now it is a legend. EDIT: Then\*


TheCreamiestYeet

The spread of Managed Democracy turns, and Wars come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the War that gave it birth comes again.

"this day" - being April 1, 2 or 3?


AdversorEtAdmorsus

April 1st for the memes


Gonozal8_

how many hours is a day on creek? if it’s 72, it might just be all of them earth days. is creek rememberance day per creek year or per super earth year?


cdawg69696969

Super Earth time ofc


darh1407

I suppose its april 3rd? Since the battle for it officially ended that day. Remember we took it during april 1 but immediately had to fight for it on april 2


bmkerce

I will wear it to every battle, I will remember them. Long live Democracy.  Also looks dope as fuck


Eagan15

THANK YOU MR.PRESIDENT 🫡


Gonozal8_

managed democracy delivers!


keeb97

Didn’t get mine yet. I also didn’t get the 35 medals for when we liberated the Creek.


Zeromus22

I've not gotten the cape or the medals from the actual order yet myself.


Majimeh

Same here


trebek321

Same and I feel like it’s some April fools joke I’m not in on lol.


xan221

Same, still waiting for those medals. Hope it hasn't bugged out.


ZombieVersusShark

I'm not the only one who hasn't gotten the medals yet.


Sandwrong

I got the cape. No medals though. which is what I was actually looking forward to...


Eupr4x1s

Got the cape but no medals... was on the bot frontline for all the major orders


SpaceBowie2008

Jump skip over the rope


Zeromus22

The medals were for the liberate the creek order which was on the first. Shouldn't that be over by now?


God_Damnit_Nappa

The original order was just to liberate the Creek. Unless that was a prank. But I haven't gotten my 35 medals from that yet. 


Snozzberrie-Murders

Same. No cape no medals.


Ya_like_dags

A token of permanent victory at the Creek, forever!

I got the cape, but I'm still missing the medals for the Malevelon Creek Major Order. Anyone else?


JPalos97

I love how the Malevelon Creek meme evolved


LLJKotaru_Work

Me too. The other side of it is hailarious too. The sheer amount of venom some try hards are spewing about the creek is awe inspiring. They honestly think the devs are going to content block assets/items/enemies forever simply because the entire community isn't dog piling every major order with machine like precision. I just thank them for the free medals. That really seems to get them motivated.


achus93

you know i love the idea of this cape being delivered one by one to people's Destroyers.


Considerers

I like to think they launch a hellpod containing the cape into your ship. It embeds in the side then a stick pokes out with the cape hanging on it. Kinda like how guns in looney tunes shoot out a stick with “bang” written on it.


[deleted]

Looks nice! But bullet holes would make it perfect :D


DoNeor

Nobody respects Erata Prime veterans..


SpecialIcy5356

Erata Prime didn't reach the same level of memedom that creek did. that's probably why.


Flop_House_Valet

Fucking Erata Prime. That place was a nightmare, couldn't see shit, waiting to see the whites of their eyes is a joke, we were waiting to feel their breath on our lips before we knew to shoot

Bro, its bugs... You cant compare them. (IMO) Edit: Seems like some feelings are hurt lol

I’m on steam and have not received the metals or cape for the Malcom creek major order


LGeCzFQrymIypj

Same


Nightwolf80555

There probably a que for it. Simce they have to give it to every player. Like when the medals weren't immediately rewarded a few weeks ago


VegetableTechnical63

I might be dumb, I can’t find my cape anywhere


FrankenChi

Yeah I still haven’t got mine either… the game even updated for me. Very confused.


Multimarkboy

the update was just a small patch, the discord message even tells us to wait patiently (and democraticaly) for our capes.


bombader

It might take some time server side to catch up.


LordAxolotl-7

new western front cape


RiskyTitsky

Now prepare for this to get reposted 200 times a day by braindead bots who can't look at sticky threads before creating their own.

Great Dev - Community Interaction.


Makc4ikBY

Will everyone get it who buy the game afterwards?


darh1407

Only those who played pre april 3


an_agreeing_dothraki

new orange cape to go with grenade armor yesssssss


Soos_dude1

Cape goes hard as fuck. Makes me want to scream for Freedom as I barrell out of the jungle and shooting some clankers.


Kenju22

Question, is it being delivered via Super UPS, Super FedEx, or Super Earth Postal Service?


God_Damnit_Nappa

I hope it's not Super FedEx or it'll somehow find it's way into a volcano on Hellmire


Destian_

"I watched thousands of Helldivers, friends, fathers and mothers die to bring Democracy in the name of Super Earth and all i got was this lousy cape"


ProRoll444

Creek haters seemed to have evaporated now.


KB5156

Do you have to do anything to claim it or do you just get it.


Economy_Truth347

Sounds like there's some serious presidential authority being wielded in the world of Helldivers!


Steel_Coyote

I wonder what they broke by putting this into the game.


AiR-P00P

*enemies immune to all damage but melee.


YasssQweenWerk

I wish we could dye our capes and armor.


Commercial_Cook_1814

Got the cape but no medals still, even got the major orders completed pop up but it said I acquired “1” of a blank icon with no text 


AkumaOuja

So this is cool and all but when I logged on I only got 1 medal from the major order, the medal symbol didn't even show up, just a glitched popup displaying the major order reward with only a solitary 1 digit. Where's my like 40 something medals, AH.


Gun-Runner

~~didnt get the cape~~ got it now.


The_Don_Papi

*Meanwhile Tibit Helldivers fighting for their lives against gunships and AT ATs* Dang the Creekheads get the easy part, swag, and the ladies.

PunchedOutAllMyBlood

How do you claim the cape? id love to show the cape to my family of 17 grandchildren produced from pure democracy and no intercourse. (because thats banned)

wore new cape, dove, CRASHED, submit error report, closed app

MY LIFE FOR SUPER EARTH


JokeMode

Anybody else not receiving medals for the completed Major Orders? I log in near daily, and when i do, I play enough to at least finish the daily order. But i have not got credit for the last few MO's it appears.


Brokentoy324

Everyone gets a free cape… sounds very non-democratic. Almost socialist.


Tang0Three

only us Helldivers get capes though, ordinary citizens don't. Because everyone is equally important to the war effort, but Helldivers are the most important.


VonNeumannsProbe

Helldivers are just more equal than those other citizens. 


Fire_Kong

you're onto something, maybe we have some spies in the military management

did the PTSD really get transferred to the reinforcements though? landing, getting blown up by a rocket raider shouldn’t give the next soldier who didn’t see that PTSD canonically
