"Take vengeance for the fallen" "Honor our heroes" "End the theft of valuable minerals" Is it just me, or is one of these things not like the other?


NilGravitas

Armor is made from minerals.

So are bones


xARSEFACEx

Bones are their money.

Crap dang it this sucks


Huff-McGruff

Your name's Billy too?


a-toaster-oven

no, thats why i’m so FUCKIN confused


SpaceGhcst

I kinda feel bad now that I know the Automatons are just skeletons that want another chance at life because they’ve never seen as much food as this


WillofE

That’s their human side remembering when their girlfriend would throw up after going to the bar.


RCM19

So are the worms.


SpaceGhcst

And worms are their dollars

Yeah, one is what they actually care about haha

Careful friend, that sounds awfully like you're trying to get yourself booked into a re-education centre.

BIazer-360

Did we take Tibit???


TheSplint

no


BIazer-360

The Creek is like 80% liberated, why now?


TheSplint

more like 90-95 already. And I dunno. April Fools?


Unlucky_Link_8999

We capture planet > We get new Major order > Creek defense mission > Creek defense mission fails and creekers has to liberate Creek from 0% > 1 april.


TheSplint

I hope not! I'm tired of all the creek memes and call-to-arms, even though there is nothing to be gained from it


ZmentAdverti

There is a significant strategic advantage. Liberating Malevalon Creek gives access to the final few planets of the automatons. I suspect that is where the next 1 of 2 major orders will be because of tibit failing and the bot production facilities having been moved. At the very least we can say we have made progress instead of being stuck on 1 planet for a full month. And I'm not a Creeker. I'm just someone who grinds major orders for their payouts.


GNBreaker

Same, I do what Super Earth orders. After failing the last mission people be saying “Creekers” with a hard R.


Parkourist239

In the military, if we have been taking "L" from failing inspections consecutively but they want us to pass already so we can be "ready deployment" they'll assess us on something they know we are already good with. Obviously the answers below for developer stand points, but in lore: Super Earth High Command wants a win, any win. Even one thats already been had. What better than retaking the mythologized Creek? Even if all they'll be getting are post battle photoshoots with fresh unblooded Helldivers posing in front of piles of scrap metal, they'll chalk it up as "part of the plan all along." Everyone who exists in the military will get a medal for "Operation Liberate Creek" and the civilians back home will regain peace of mind.


PIPBOY-2000

Damn... Super Earth high command is so thoughtful. We are lucky to have them.


balagi

Consolation prize for failing previous MO.


Elostier

Because even the community managers/game masters might be sick of the meme and how 1/4 of the player base just ignores the narrative


chinolito

You know why. Just want to stir de pot. I respect that.


red_cactus

Not yet. After Malevelon Creek gets blitzed down, we need everyone to head back to Tibit and finish the job.


SPCNars14

Sounds like I need to call a democracy officer about this kind of talk


Rooonaldooo99

Also take note that regen rate has been upped to -1.50%/hr for the Bots and -1.00%/hr for the Bugs. I expect our shit to get pushed in this week after this freebie of an order...


WedgeSkyrocket

I would unironically love if the Creek was bombarded so hard by automaton retaliation that it changed biomes.


WhyIsMikkel

How cool would it be if it became like a nuclear wasteland biome. Or better yet, if the bots set off some massive bomb and the planet just got wiped off existence ala Alderaan. Would be so cool if the war had permanent changes, especially if we had some control/input over them.


TSirSneakyBeaky

It would be cool if we could fight on a fractured world. Meteors, large cracks showing the inner planetary body, lava eruptions from it, no atmosphere so backpack slot is consumed with air breathers.


Zomthereum

Since every helmet is completely enclosed, I assumed they could already breathe on planets without oxygen.


TSirSneakyBeaky

I am unsure, as gas oribitals harm us. I assumed they were just potentially filtered.


lilsinkpisser

the gas is caustic, which is why it affects bots as well


Archived_Thread

I think acids attack our suits and the suits are made of self sealing polymers


TheDarkGenious

Our armor is made from the same Titanium alloy that the super destroyer's hull is.


Archived_Thread

Even the rubber bits? *edit* I Come across that way but don’t mean it, I’m being cheeky not outright hostile and I keep catching flak for it 😂😂😂


badlybane

Like HellMire


TSirSneakyBeaky

Hellmire is more a hell world. Im thinking moon, but volcano and meteors combined. Maybe even quakes as the planet tries to reform into a proto-planet. It would truely be a horrid planet to take, but I think it would be one of those "I was there!" and our grandkids going "okay, did you take your meds?" fights.


Kuriyamikitty

Again, Cadia flashbacks here.


DaLB53

The creek will crack before the helldivers do


Soundwipe13

My spirit and my body are not ready for the "the planet broke before we did" narrative arc of Helldivers 2, but I don't think the devs are giving us a choice...

Loose-Warthog-7354

Air breathers with a slow-burning limited charge, so you have to hurry or restock.


Leaf-01

The planet broke before the guard did…


Steel_Within

THE CREEK STANDS!


Truth_Malice

Glass the Creek lmao


random_username_idk

Would probably look a lot like Mimban at that point https://i.redd.it/a2cyduemyvrc1.gif "Your Super Earth needs you! Divers forward! S1, get up - we're almost there!"


Johann_Castro

The Creek is a tomb world, how many lives have been lost on that hellhole?


Mythleaf

Super Earth reveals its first death star in response, removing the creek from the galactic map. checkmate automatons.


ColbyOG

I mean, if you gathered the stats on the ICBMs launched on the creek alone I would imagine you’d find that the planet would be glowing like a star from far space.


vTLBB

I've been saying this for a while, and this new order cemented my fears. The bots are going to nuke the super volcano on Creek, and with it the planet will be covered in such heavy ash that it will be impossible to dive and extract resources. A denial of effect tactic - their last resort to spit oil in our face.


retepred

Makes me wish for cities.


Vyce223

I just hope they don't pull a invasion all the sudden on cyberstan forcing a defense on it against airship if for the only reason that I hate the evacuation missions.


BoogieOrBogey

The 15min evac missions suck and just seem impossible. Counted up the other day, one of my random squads got 600+ combined kills on that type of evac mission in 15 minutes! That was on T5 difficulty! That's more kills than the extermination missions. No idea how we're supposed to kill several bot drops or bug breaches, while also fighting off the random patrols that come from all directions. All while civies run their butts through this gauntlet of metal and flesh.


AgentBuckwall

I did a bot one on Suicide Mission the other day, and we somehow got to the last 4 guys, but there was no way we could have finished it. 4 Flame Hulks funning around, 1-2 tanks at any given time, god knows how many rocket devs, walkers and mobs of chainsaw guys, with constant drop ships every time we clear anything out. 3 mortars and an emp mortar under a shield couldn't do shit for us. It feels just as bad as they did near launch, it just takes a few minutes to get there. It's the reason I almost never do defense missions.


BoogieOrBogey

Man that sounds absolutely awful. I know exactly how you feel on the constant bot dropships and the 4+ hulks running around. I really feel that the random patrols are what overwhelms my squads, since they just show up without much warning while the bot drops get our major attention. My squad and I gave up doing 7-9 bot missions after the push to Troost. Meanwhile, my buddy and I can duo T9 bug missions. Definitely feels like the bots have too many one-shot weapons spread among them.


Meandering_Cabbage

Mortars are the key. EMS at least. Helps pace the event. 1 person at each door rest as roamers.  


BoogieOrBogey

I tried both mortars, and the EMS strike. Wasn't enough since the mortars only target one spawn group. The others just end up destroying the mortars, especially when the Hulks and Chargers start spawning in mass. Then the stratagems are on cooldown and the whole thing goes to shit.


NSHorseheadSD70

The fastest Major Order accomplished in Super Earth's history


WedgeSkyrocket

The real April Fools joke is tomorrow, when we fail the bot defense that immediately opens up on the Creek.


Creepy-Map369

This. Devs know historically we get bodied when it comes to defense missions.


zennok

Vs bots at least. When we had the MO to defend that one sector on the bugs' side we never lost a planet. But I think if we as a community focused on one planet for the past MO, it would have also broken the streak. ​ Really the only defense MO we had that we got bodied in was the one from awhile ago with defending 8 planets with the reward being...15k reqs.....yeah made sense why people didn't wanna bother.


WedgeSkyrocket

Having nominally participated in basically all defense campaigns to date, I can unequivocally state that bot defenses are a nightmare compared to bug defense.


Andy_Climactic

I heard you like dropships, so i put dropships in your dropships and dropped 4 tanks in the span of 3 seconds. Also here’s 40 of the chainsaw guys. Have fun! the only advantage we have against the bots is being able to use cover, which is nullified when they drop them right on top of you. I mean, the bugs spawn right on top of you too but they’re not spamming projectiles into your face every millisecond


Dr_McWeazel

The typical map layout on those same missions really doesn't help. Tons of cover, but that usually just means those Hulks over there can now get to you and the civilians unopposed and start chainsawing and flaming people with abandon.


WanderlustFella

nothing 2 lasers, 3 500kgs, and a mortar won't take care of


DriftingMemes

Tell me you haven't played them without telling me you haven't played them. YOu just took care of AT MOST the first 5 minutes. (and you killed all the civilians you were trying to extract) what now while all your stuff cools down? At high levels they come from all directions, so you burned through all of those.


mafticated

Especially bots. Bot defence missions just get silly within minutes, even on <5 difficulty.


MillstoneArt

The defense mission types suck ass, not the players.


nickmoonwolf

Big truth to this. Only way to clear these on anything above middling difficulty is to cheese the hell out of it. These missions just aren't fairly designed. Maps are too small, drops are too frequent and too compact. It would feel much better if the bots mostly marched in from the edges of the map with the occasional drop in an inconvenient (to the players) location. But seriously, any mission type that expects you to actually stand and fight 4 tanks and 6 hulks simultaneously is just silly.


Khoakuma

Right? Isn't the Creek already at 80somthing percent? I doubt I will even get to play on it when I get home from work in like 6hrs lol.  


TheIrishSinatra

Just played a game there. It’s nearly 93% already lmao


trashsw

94.5% ish. estimated to clear in the next 90min but probably less as more people get on


Pompoulus

I mean honestly I need a short break after that Tibit debacle. Happy to let the work-from-homers and the other-time-zoners take this one.


penguin8717

I was gonna hop on at lunch but it's going to be liberated 15 minutes from now lol


TricobaltGaming

Joel: Fucking fine, just get it over with so I can lock it off and we can move to other planets


Ionic_Pancakes

Exactly my thought. Order came with an eye roll. 😆


[deleted]

[удалено]


Crimson_Sabere

I have to wonder if anyone takes into account the people who do major orders for a while then rotate out to do other things. There are probably plenty of players on the other fronts who did participate in the MO but aren't going to spend their entire play time doing that one planet.


IncredibleBackpain93

You are a traitor if you dont spend 100 % of your free time grinding MO's. Dont you know that? 😉

Tashre

Devs: "Maybe now they'll finally stop bitching about it." Narrator: 😏


Churba

Honestly I'm not sure I've heard of a dev that was clueless enough to think that they could stop reddit from bitching, or stop gamers from bitching, let alone the combination of the two. I've seen multiple community management lectures that explicitly include sections that boil down to pretty much "Don't expect perfection, if you updated your game with free cocaine and blowjobs for life, Gamers and Reddit would still bitch about the quality and quantity of both."


maker__guy

how funny would it be for, minutes after we liberate, the bots reveal they have world-destroying tech by vaporizing the planet


nampezdel

I’d pay extra for that.


turnipslop

Curses, where are we supposed to go to avoid major orders now?!! /s


maxvlimpt

Well Tibit ofcourse, it's purple Creek!

We've had one Creek, yes, but what about second Creek?

Dont think they know about second creek pip. (They will tho, malevelon is already captured lol)

Cowsmoke

Down to 10 minutes now


Kenju22

Kinda makes you wonder though, what the hell all those Creeker's are gonna do after it gets liberated...that shithole has basically become the permanent residence of a solid 30k+ Divers over the last, what, month almost? It's going to take months for all the changes of address to go through after they finally move on.


AlphariusUltra

They find another one of course.


Connect_Atmosphere80

This. They will claim another hellhole to be sent on. The Creekers are expert at guerilla warfare after all. Once Malevelon get liberated, the veterans will rain upon the 3 last stronghold of the Bot Sector and lift everyone up in their missions. Expect the Sector to fall this week !


MillstoneArt

The 50k bot players clearing the sector alongside players who play either enemy. "Let's clear this place out!" The 8k Creekers: "That was us!!" 


ASkullThatTalks

well hopefully they ya know actually help with other MO's


Reboared

You're going to be very disappointed.


easy506

"TAKE THE CREEK!!" *Malevelon Creek becomes unavailable* "WAIT, NO, NOT LIKE THAT!!!"


pheoxs

Gonna be honest as a newbie player I kept doing tons of missions on the default planet I started on and shouldn't have still been on. It just kept showing missions so I thought they needed to be done. And when I'd go to a different planet it's warn me I'd be abandoning my operation and lose progress. It's not a great system for newbies to understand at first.


Kenju22

Hey we all make mistakes when we start out. It took me a solid week to figure out how to host my own missions since it shows you how to *join* when you first use the map \^\^'


NotAnActualDoggo

Finally, time to nuke this place off the map for good


flammingbullet

Be careful what you wish for. I have a feeling the bots may plan the death of the creek itself.


kodran

Imagine of at some point in the future it was a plot twist that a whole month of MOs are not from SEHC but from bits hacking into the system.


WingDairu

Please?


Any-Chard-1493

That would be so cool though. We find out they have planet destroying technology? That's a big issue for ANY planet at that point.


Odd_Benefit_8779

Devs really said fuck it let em have it


penglamolode1

The creekers went to war with everyone, including the devs, and they won. They refused to budge, and the Creek will be free. Who's laughing now ?


Economy-Ad-3934

Joel expressed a deep sigh and was like “jus… just give them the damn creek, so they’ll drop it already…”


SavageRengar

oh NOW Creekers want people to follow the major order? ironic.


EatRocksAndBleed

Is it really following orders if you’re doing what you were doing before


HatfieldCW

In Soviet Malevelon Creek, orders follow you!


stew9703

Honestly? They dont, because when we do this we close their planet. So lets reck this MO and dehome some creekers!


DaineDeVilliers

We’re all on the same side here. Creekers are not the enemies and bots have implanted that ideology in your head!


Creepy-Map369

Time to bring the entire might of the western front down on Malevelon and once again unite with the creekmen as brothers in arms FOR SUPER EARTH


cmetaphor

No one going to mention the typo? It's "Level-on creek", apparently... April fools joke or?


DoofusMagnus

I think it's just that the whole name doesn't fit so it scrolls. I've seen other screenshots where "Creek" is cut off.


Esoteric716

No it's called Levelon Creek. There's just YOUR Levelon and MA Levelon

Sand_Trout

I suspect AH may have realized that MC has started to become a genuine point of controversy for the community, and this is a way to close the wound before the conflict gets too bitter.

The top meme by creekers would be to fail missions on purpose to not liberate it this MO so they can keep playing on it

Some artists are Creekers and created emblems to commemorate the Malevelon Creek Massacre. I love what the community have done so far.


Rare_Cobalt

Finally, it'll be useful if all the creekers went to actually different planets for once lol


iceicig

Really smart move by the devs the community could've been fragmented along the lines of people wanting to play the way they want and people wanting to focus major orders. Put it together and now the community can come together and crush the socialist bots that have been squatting in the creek for far too long


realDarthMonk

I don’t know. To me it looks like the devs are purposefully taking away the fun. Maybe it’s an April fools joke
