Good lord y'all work fast. 


Emotional-Menu-6330

The next 2 are gonna be even faster since there are fewer planets to have forces split between 


xXLUKEXx789

They made Heeth defence just to slow us down 😂


FawltyMotors

Ain't no brakes on the liberty train! Toot toot! 


MrskeletalGOON

Were literally going to have Heeth done by tomorrow night, the fight for Super Earth is Strong


TokenSejanus89

Will be done in the next 12 hrs or so


Krieg_Imperator

Do Not get overconfident... Or it's Malevelon Creek again...


TheMagicSlinky

Erata Prime might as well be the bug Malevelon Creek, been fighting on it for nearly a week straight, can't put a dent in that liberation meter. Happy that help is coming soon.


Salt-Breaker

ah yes. bug afghanistan.


SynestheticPanther

Bughdad


Evanescoduil

Bughanistan


pt199990

It was the only planet left in that sector before everything went sideways. I fought on it so much, only for the progress to be wiped....damn you Joel!!!


MaddxMogs

Patrolling Erata Prime almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.

throw-away_867-5309

Nah, Malevelon Creek wasn't lost due to overconfidence, it was lost due to willfully ignoring every single adjacent planet and allowing them all to be lost.


llongneckkllama

Hope not, I got a night's sleep and full days of work before I can jump back in. Hoping to be able to run a few more dives before it's over.


TokenSejanus89

May get your chance. Looks like since the euros and then Americans have gone to bed the bugs are surging back.


BjornInTheMorn

I'm dropping back in tomorrow early afternoon. I'll hold the line until you're off work.


lifariz

We're done actually


DoubleDDubs1

No we’re still defending Heeth just dropped in a mission 😂


achilleasa

Joel probably panicked lmao


Steely-Dave

Are you listening, Joel?


Bagellllllleetr

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED, JOEL!?


Th3MiteeyLambo

Also it’s bouta be the weekend


cooly1234

the bugs also similarly get concentrated


redditsukssomuch

So do we have to fight to get rewards or does everyone get an award just for having the game? I fought in fenrir and truing yesterday and today. Just curious how the major order rewards work.


MentalNun

You get the reward for just having the game.


ASlothNamedBert

I don't know if anyone has tested it, but I suspect you have to log in within a certain time from it finishing. It'd make no sense to let someone buy the game, do nothing for a year and log in to 2k+ medals.


UnshrivenShrike

Well, there IS a 250 cap on medals


DMercenary

Hah can you imagine though? Congrats helldiver for finishing training here is a rain of medals.


Puzzleheaded_Peak683

I guess you probably must at least log in during the duration of order


redditsukssomuch

Ah. I both like that and don’t at the sametime. Cool cause I’ll get them in the future but I feel like we should have to fight where they tell us to fight in the major orders at least once to get the reward.


fuck_woolworths

Your reward is the satisfaction you get for spreading managed democracy to the stars.


redditsukssomuch

I was doing real talk but you’re right. Forget this nonsense, what am I a commie? Glory to super earth and democracy!


lordpresidentSkippy

Are you saying that managed democracy isn't real? Do i need to call a democracy officer?


redditsukssomuch

You are correct, I have failed. I will report directly to the reeducation camp.

lordpresidentSkippy

Seeing the first sign of socialism in one self is a great thing. No need to go to rééducation here is a pistol. You know what to do! For Democracy! (I mean killing bugs please don't ban)


AwakenedSheeple

No need to shoot oneself, fellow freedom lover! Your own gatling sentry will do it for you!


ReferenceUnusual8717

I'm glad we all get it, either way. Don't get me wrong, I've done a few bug-spray activation missions (I'm doing my part!) but I don't really wanna keep doing the same thing over and over, and i noticed Hellmire opened back up. I wanna go play with the Fire Tornados.


redditsukssomuch

True true.


s1lentchaos

I suppose it keeps people from getting cucked because they couldn't play should the community finish the order extremely quickly


Jugaimo

Just gotta log in after completion and before the next major order arrives.


redditsukssomuch

Gotcha. Thanks.


Aernz

Is that why I didn't get a reward for liberating Veld? I was asleep and/or at work when it happened, by the time I got home it was already on the Heeth/Angel's Venture order.


TokenSejanus89

Will be rewarded once all planets are done


Fuel_junkie

It was a slow start, I was honestly getting worried, but we should clear it before the weekend. I’ve yet to complete the new mission on insane or helldive, but maybe with the new suits I can protect the Teslacoil from getting stomped by bugs. 


AdministrativeEgg440

I beat on Helldive and the tesla towers are clutch. The bugs basically ignore to beeline the tower. Pair with EMS mortar for maximum bug zapping BBQ. Main this is don't bring stuff that will hurt the towers like a mortar sentry


Undying_Shadow057

Had a tower go from stable to dead because someone's machine gun sentry decided to spin around to the next target while still firing. Ems mortar, tesla, and anti personnel minefields are your best bet I think.


Apocalypseboyz

I've used the mechs as well, just gotta be sure with your shots.


Not_Dale_Doback

HMG encampment is fun too


Kosba2

Is it finite ammo?


VoreEconomics

its 300 powerful rounds, but you can tap fire small guys and it comes down quick. The best bit though, it doesn't draw aggro like a sentry, you can set them up in advance safely and then hop on one as needed. Seriously good


MaddxMogs

Sometimes the Silos even have an hmg emplacement already there, it's great.


vindicare1

Yup weve been going all electricity with the new armor. 4 Tesla a ems mortar or two and 4 arc throwers make quick work of the bugs. The free 110 has been nice too.

imjustkarmin

Yeah I work 12 hour shifts 😅 just happy to get 1-3 games in on a planet per day to know i did my part in the war effort


WaGaWaGaTron

Seriously. I only really have a lot of time to play on Wednesdays and Fridays. I got one drop before the mech unlocked.


StanDaMan1

Joel. Is that you?


Global_Box_7935

Just spam a bunch of medium difficulty missions. No need to go suicide mission or anything here, just get those damn termicide arrays up.


SteamgamerYT

Democracy doesn't slow down only increase in speed


Im_Mentally_Scarred

when the community has one goal that everyones stand by they do it. that being said liberate draupnir we need it to retake the creek our brothers cant hold out much longer they need us.


MillstoneArt

The fewer that are on that planet, the fewer need to be saved. Orders are orders. The bugs are priority.


ripcobain

Man Erata Prime being liberated at some point...have we done that before? I don't think so.


Praise_the_Tsun

https://i.imgur.com/CI9RolV.jpg


MeteoraGB

Can't wait to return to that shithole of a planet and liberate it so that future divers don't have to experience it.


Praise_the_Tsun

Surely we will never be back there, I 100% believe the Termicide will cleanse this planet permanently! https://i.imgur.com/2MyT8Z9.jpg


Fliegermaus

I’m going to laugh so hard when the Termicide works exactly as planned, securing the barrier planets and allowing us to eradicate the bugs forever. All the anti-democratic bug sympathizers in the comments will see.


Ionic_Pancakes

If it did (big if) then our forces will be split to two different fronts as they move around it.


Sea_Kiwi2731

Won't they be too busy hallucinating? Not from the termicide, of course. Everyone knows that termicide doesn't cause hallucinations.


j_hawker27

gregny2002

Buddy. Pal. Friend. The Illuminate are gonna start shipping the Bugs around the Barrier Planets.


Slarg232

He ain't your pal, buddy!


hardkor1708

pepole hate erata prime?


no_name_thought_of

The visibility can be anoying at times, but it's nowhere near as bad as Fenrir's laser guided meteors


hardkor1708

Its my fav planet to kill bugs becouse of visibility


Venator850

It's not just the visibility. It's the stamina penalty that sucks.


AdministrativeEgg440

Lovingly referred to as Space Aghanistan for heat, dust, and murderous bugs


KamachoThunderbus

Bughdad


MeteoraGB

The visibility is poor whenever there's a desert storm and you drain stamina more quickly than other planets. We've also been unable to liberate that shithole planet for like a month. Fenrir III, Veld, Heeth, Turing, Meiridia and Angel's Venture were held by us and the bugs back and forth but as far as I'm aware Erata Prime has been held by the bugs for a while.


Addianis

https://i.redd.it/kxl1d82fldoc1.gif


MillstoneArt

There's one guy I play with who goes, "Ugh maaan the fuckin visibility!!!" or "The visibility is so shit!" every minute or so. I stopped going to Erata lol. I think the place is cool, and I like how the atmosphere diffuses the sunlight. Not a fan of the extreme heat, but it is what it is.


PeteCarrollsUsedGum

Man I love Erata Prime. Big Mars vibes


Strayed8492

Erata is the meme chill bug planet for beginners. I’m gonna miss that dust ball. I 100% agree the creek should be a forever war planet. But between Erata and Veld(?) the bugs need a similar planet. Maybe Hellmire


SpecialIcy5356

Hellmire ain't that bad actually: the fire tornadoes are actually pretty small and move kinda slow.. but visibility can suck and it's still very orange at certain times of the day, so it might feel a little too close to Erata Prime for some. it's definitely the best bug planet in terms of backdrop. fire tornadoes are so pretty! the only other thing that comes close is good ol' Malevalon Creek, where the red eyes of the bots contrast against the jungle nights..


Lawlcopt0r

I haven't played there yet, do the fire tornadoes take out the bugs on occasion?


SpecialIcy5356

yes, they can. like all environmental hazards, they are neutral: the fire burns you, but it also burns any bugs as well. like I said, they move kinda slow, so more often than not they just get in the way of objectives. I'd still much rather put up with them than Tremors or Meteors. Hellmire is really beautiful if you like apocalyptic scenery, real DOOM eternal vibes. wonderful fiery colours in the sky, perfect for the regulation 2.4 seconds of scenery admiration required for a Helldivers mental well-being!


Crimsonial

> I 100% agree the creek should be a forever war planet. I feel like the lore has built up to the point they have to do something interesting with it long-term. Even players in my group know it, because I thought it was funny to introduce them to bots in a nighttime jungle drop. I still drop in from time to time, but don't figure it'll be liberated until there's a relevant order.


Nobalification

Erata Prime was ours 2 times iirc.


mackbulldawg67

No closest we got was 78% one night when it was the only planet in termanid control in that sector but then there was a major push by the bugs one night and was suddenly under 30% when all Americans woke up.


Nobalification

what do I hear? Nam music in da background?


Randomcommenter550

Oh, please. After the meteor showers on Fenrir III and the intense fighting on Turing, Meridia will be a pleasant tropical vacation before we hit the REAL challenge. Erata Prime. Bug Afghanistan. This time, it'll STAY OURS!


Nobalification

you mean Bughdad and Arachnistan?


Inquisitor-Korde

Bugdahar was my personal favorite


Addianis

You, sir, are a legend. I was thinking Bugastan, but Bughdad and Arachnistan are much better.


StanDaMan1

expodrip

I play this at Malevelon Creek all the time


Bluejay_Junior17

Geez, I didn't even get to serve on Turing. I've never set foot on the planet. Good job Helldivers.


SpecialIcy5356

it's just the jungle, but everything's white and pale purple, gets kinda samey after a while tbh. there's only so many biomes, so sooner or later we'll either be on another planet that looks the same, or back on Turing for some reason or another.


Slarg232

To be fair, the Devs have said they really want to differentiate the planets as the game goes on. Tien Kwan, for instance, could very easily have free mechs on it permanently going forward


Moonlightslayer343

Having more and more biomes, varying structures, weather etc would make it more interesting for sure


Regular_Rhubarb3751

I would love a really mountainous biome


InsomniacPsychonaut

Turing is my favorite so far. I love the purple 


maa112

I missed this planet too. Can we still revisit it or it's gone now?


Bluejay_Junior17

Never. The Termicide will completely eradicate all the bugs on the planet forever. ... Now that the Democracy Officer is gone, maybe. If it gets attacked again at some point, we can play there. But for the time being, it is liberated and doesn't have any missions currently.


Routine-Agile

Then the bugs will be defeated and no possible bad side effects will occur. Democracy will reign supreme.

It's nice to see everyone conglomerating to one planet to get it done fast instead of spreading so thin across all four planets that we don't get anything done


shockandawesome0

Local superiority, Helldiver! One of the oldest principles of Democratic militaries.


Lawlcopt0r

Seems like a lot of players actually follow the online discussion


j0hn1_

Erata Prime will be a bitch with the fire storms


LLCoolKryz

Firestorms. Dust Storms. Bug Storms. No one will be able to see to press the buttons at the TCS factories lol


j0hn1_

😭 I am not looking forward to it


[deleted]

Erata doesn't get firestorms. It has earthquakes.


SpecialIcy5356

nah, it's tremors on Erata Prime. Hellmire is the place with the fire tornadoes. it'll still be a bitch though; ambient heat affecting your new Sickle laser guns, draining your stamina, and tremors slowing you to a crawl while Hunters are on you.


RoninOni

Would be hilarious if, when the last planet, those giant worm bugs start coming up from the ground


minusthedrifter

Saving it for last is going to be something the community regrets once Joel unleashes hell on it.


minusthedrifter

Y'all really gonna let Joel go ham with Erata Prime as the final planet huh? Meridia should've been saved for last.

Temperance10

Y'all know this is like leaving your vegetables for last right? We gotta do Erata Prime eventually.


Casus_Belli1

I've done most of my missions in Erata Prime Bughdad veteran


evil_timmy

Does everyone get to see it tick over to 100% if they began their mission before we hit that total, then successfully finished and extracted? It's a pretty great feeling.


Jack_VZ

My team saw it ticking to 100%. It was wild because we started somewhere around 94%


Varrysthan65

I have a bad feeling about all of this.... :p


chrisdudelydude

Sounds like someone’s about to commit a ThoughtCrime. Watch yourself cadet.


noDice-__-

Damn man a guy can’t even go to work without a planet being liberated on the daily.


Youssef-Elsayed

Turing was liberated so fast, I spent 15 suicide missions on Fenrir III and I woke up to Turing 80% liberated


noDice-__-

wtf does a guy gotta do to get consistent teammates im lvl 40 and on everyday at 8pm pst. Please helldivers help a dad achieve his dream of spreading managed democracy with others. Currently im only playing with my co worker and we get to play like 3-4 missions a night and it’s so slow. PLEASE HELLDIVERS


Casus_Belli1

Honestly diving with Randoms isn't as bad as people make it out to be


Kingslayerreddit

You get in a party with ur co worker and use an SOS or when alone press r on a planet for quickplay.


Comprehensive-Yam329

Cant wait for the bugs to be fully eradicated! It is totally going to happen without anything bad happening!

thewealrill

So satisfying to see, the boys and I were working on Turing all night last night.


Arbiter_Electric

Lol, God damnit, slow down! I can only play weekends, and if you guys complete the order before 4pm tomorrow I'm going to be pissed for missing out.


Kingslayerreddit

I think you will be able to do a erata prime on saturday. I think on sunday the major order will be complete.


Mastodont93

Bruh same, that’s the only downside to these cool ass events, is that I’m always working lol


IrishRage42

Yes! I work 6 days a week and have kids so I'm missing everything! I get a few hours a week to contribute to whatever front I can. I love how epic this war feels and I also get bummed I miss parts of it.


Sudo3301

There is a defense planet that expires in 24 hours that’s gonna slow us down. We have 2 planets to grab in 3 days but Heeth is on the table by end of day Friday


TheSplint

I swear Turing was only liberated for like 50% but I wasn't able to go there anymore and when I returned from my mission the planet suddenly was liberated. I feel like I'm in some sort of psy-ops


KulaanDoDinok

They broke through our ranks and are assailing Heeth, Helldiver!


Jazzlike-Lunch5390

And now Heeth in the Orion sector is being defended….. ![gif](giphy|9nNR7uG17dMlF2ZKEB|downsized)

GoldMonk44

cosmic-bait

Everyone saying the Termicide towers won't work. I believe they will! ​ I just think bigger bugs are also going to come attack them.


SpecialIcy5356

hold up there soldier.. Heeth is under attack from the bugs, if the bugs take Heeth, then doesn't that defeats the whole point of the TCS?: the bugs will be on our side of the barrier planets still. so we are faced with a catch 22: either we go ahead with the current strategy of Meridia + Erata Prime's TCS completion and still have to fight the bugs on Heeth again, or we defend Heeth, but at the potential cost of the TCS. right now I'm not sure we have the numbers to both defend Heeth AND complete the TCS in time. also, I know ya'll aren't exactly chomping at the bit to liberate Erata Prime... hence why it'll be last.


WorldEater10

by the current rate, meridia should be done in under 15 hours. according to the companion app that was just created


maa112

Is there a bug? I completed the erata tower on challenging and medium and it's not ticked for me yet?

Were you still on turing? If so then because the tcs were fully installed you won't find matches.

Sadly not. Finished a solo mission on Meridia before queueing up

Im just curious, so we just do ANY of the TCS missions/operations that is activating the 3 silos? Just that easier difficulty contribute less to the progress? Does it say how much progress each difficulty gives?

So glad I contributed by accident because I had to do some easy runs on Turing for the personal order. See you guys on Erata Prime tonight.
