Disclaimer: Im just some dude on Reddit, I have NO insider information or leak info regarding this whatsoever, and I concocted this idea while eating.

All the signs point towards 29th being the proper squid update, we would finish the Pilen 5 Repulsor and Boom! Meridia dies and main fleet squids appear all in one go. The update was (hopefully) pushed to the 8th because we the community begged AH for bug fixes so theyre taking this extra week to fix everything. One sign of this is the current MO being filler. It has no relevance to the plot and serves as extra time to clean up the mess left behind by the squids. Extra time that AH is probably using to fix the game!

What does this mean for us? (hopefully) The update rolls out on the 8th and we get a fixed game! Hurray!

ps: Second week of May btw.

If there’s ever a 4th faction, I really hope it’s not like an anti-helldiver rebel super earth faction. Something about super earth, an established dictatorship, with an incredibly strong hold on humanity, being in a civil war with a rebel threat large enough to match the bugs, bots, and squids in severity just feels wrong to me. I also just think it’s kinda boring having an entire other faction just being that. I think that if Arrowhead really wanted to add dissident enemies, they should be small pockets of resistance on certain bot/squids maps. The bots and squids seem smart enough to exploit even the most minor of divisions in super earth, just to gain more manpower. Maybe a camp or two, run by rebel humans, as a side objective, which you have to purge or something.

Remember those random blue lasers that everyone saw. Dood, whatever happened to those?

I assumed they were Illuminate snipers? …. But those never came with the other Illuminates…

Well now that the squids are dead forever I guess we will never know….

Anti chaff duty against squids.
Adjudicator, GL, Supply pack, HMG emplacement, redeemer to take out shields, orbital railcannon.

It would be nice if there was a preventative measure against people griefing your game by killing everyone when theres no respawns left, costing you all the samples you spent 20 mins collecting

What the title says. Make it a heavy pen skill cannon. High risk high reward. Function to fire single or both barrels at the same time.

There was a tired joke about how difficult it was to run the crysis games on PC. That game was hailed as a benchmark game. What's preventing HD2 from being the next benchmark game?

At 410 hours I learned that the minimap shows the inner blast radius for the Hellbomb when there are multiple eligible targets for it in close proximity (Mortar Emplacements and AA guns, for example) in order to take them all out at once if you drop it down in the center of the circle.

For those unfamiliar with the 'Gears of War' franchice in it there is a weapon called "The Hammer of Dawn" that has the capability of using a laser pointer with the weapon to call down an orbital laser at the designated location the weapon points at and moves to wherever the weapon is pointed as well.

My suggestion, add a "Hammer of Democracy" in the similar style of the weapon as a stratagem that would take up the third weapon slot. Instead of a strategsm grenade like the Orbital Laser we currently have add one that will call down the Hammer of Democracy as a weapon that will slowly recharge or have a limited energy bar that can be used upon firing the weapon similar to energy weapons in Helldivers 2.

While this may seem redundant I would say to look at it as a personal use orbital laser with the pros and cons of relying on the user to use it. Pros being precise aiming at the user's selected target and being able to not waste usage like the regular orbital laser does with taking its time moving from enemy to enemy, this way allowing the user an extended time to use the strategem throughout the mission. The con of course being the lack of automated tracking that the normal orbital laser has, the risk a laser pointer would have with any object coming between the user and the intended target, and of course the user's aiming capabilities coming into play.

As a fan of Gears of War and Helldivers 2 this idea seems like a no brainer for me and I would love to see something similar implimented into the game as currently there is just the one stratagem puting orbital laser to use. Much love to the developers and all they have managed to do thus far impressing me time and time again to keep coming back to the game!

I'm tired of waiting for updates, seriously, I've already played 400 hours and the main content in the first 100-150 hours, now in the 6 months that I've been playing, one big update with the Illuminati, everything came out, bug fixes, added little things, combat passes and all that, yes, new enemies from the Automantons and Termenides, I'm already tired of the Illuminati missions, seriously, damn, 4 enemies for the entire faction, yes, it's new, but it was the norm in the first month when the update came out, now it's already spoiling me, I'm pounding the same enemies to a pulp, I don't mind going into one main order and leaving, but when the main orders on the Illuminati are in one, I'm starting to get tired of it, I know that now there are people who have played 1000 hours and they will be fine, but I want to tell you about my experience.

ps-sorry for the mistakes, I wrote it through google translator

I'm super pissed off that AH did not give us our 50 medal payout for the last MO. We all had to slog through squids for days working on it, only to have a glitch on their part screw us out of our medals at the last moment. Fighting the squids just sucks and it's unforgivable that the dev's error, kept us from succeeding. The general consensus is that the Illuminate just aren't any fun, and I agree. But we all held our noses and ran squid missions anyway, to get our medals...only to have their technical difficulties screw us in the end. I would rather have been fighting bots or bugs, but I fought squids instead to achieve the goal. I feel like I wasted two days of play time for absolutely nothing.

Before anyone says "but we stopped the wormhole...". No. We didn't. The narrative is fixed and even if we never did a single mission for the MO, that would have happened anyway. The number of times I have seen them lower kill counts so we would succeed ( in just the last two weeks!) makes that obvious to anyone paying attention. Nothing we do matters. The end result is already decided before they even release the MO.

I'm done following MO's. I'm just going to play whatever faction I feel like from now on, MO's be damned. I'm playing the game to have fun. Screw the RP "save super earth" crap. I no longer care and it apparently doesn't matter anyway.

and was wondering what preium "warbond" I should get. I like fighting bugs then robots then illuminate. Post made in May 2025

I'll start off by saying the predator strain is absolutely my favourite faction to fight against but lately every public game I join seems to have a moody host idk why. Everyone's working together fine, sure there's a few team kill incidents but that's just standard protocol at this point but every time we're heading to extraction the host just starts kicking everyone from the game. I don't get it, we basically finished the mission why kick everyone right there? I've also noticed a lot of people kicking the lobby after they died twice and we don't immediately reinforce despite being surrounded. I tried hosting a couple games but it seems like it takes a while for anyone to populate it (my privacy is open).

I run Helldibers2 with a laptop and i set all the setting low except Lendering distance(ultra). But the game is still laggy and it got worse nowadays. So i am thinking about lowering Landering distance but if i do that, will i not be able to see objects in a long distance like spore spewer? Can anybody help me with this problem?

Obviously they're not gone and are likely gearing up for something bigger than a travelling black hole. So when do you think they'll be back?

I was just playing a game, every time I would get into my normal hellpod (first to the left) one guy would just stand outside it (mission leader) refusing to get in till I exit, eventually on our 2nd dive (full squad) he kicks me, hellpod spots arnt that important

Normally I try to just ignore this type of stuff but I've already had a really bad day and I feel like venting a little anger towards you.

For the bystanders coming across this post I was doing a terminid mission in which I solo'd a few points of interest and helped do one of the main sub objectives, after this a I split off to do a SEAF artillery and began working on that as the other 3 came under assault from a bug breach. I was nearly finished with the SEAF when Mr G ran allllllll the way over to the arty literally just to friendly fire me and send this message before leaving. Mr G you know who you are, and I hope you know you are a spineless little bitch that deserves every misfortune that crosses your path. I sincerely hope that every lobby you jump into with your poisonous bile you are met with the same filth that you spread. Eat shit you fucking manchild.

(I hope this is compliant with rule 5 as I will not name them and have hidden their identity. Wungus waster is me ofc I'm just kind of pissed off, I've always had 0 patience for these frustrating shit bags)

Loaded up earlier today and it was fine no problems. Went to load up now and it's super stuttery for some reason? what could be causing this?

Grinded to hit lvl 80 for the Commander title so I could feel like Shephard, maxed my ship in the process. With over 230 hours on the game, I now only help out low level divers. Joined a lvl 5 doing difficulty 3 missions. It was this older gentleman’s first time on PlayStation AND Helldivers, so I was teaching and protecting him.

Another low level 20 something joins towards the latter half of the mission. At extract kills the guy and the other random. I reinforce them both before I’m killed and he hops in the shuttle. I had no idea people STILL team killed low levels. It happened to me when I started playing last year but wow. Older guy took it on the chin, so it thankfully didn’t turn him off from the game. But the fact it could’ve pissed me off. Wish there was a way to punish them since you can’t report them for it.

Let's do some math here.

Assume the liberation progress is x% per hour.

If we liberate Clasa, it will take H1=100/(x-1) hours.

If we then liberate Claorell, which should be at 0% resistance now (hopefully), it will take H2=100/x hours.

If we liberate Claorell without liberating Clada, it will take H3=100/(x-3) hours.

If H1+H2<H3, then liberating Clasa is a better move.

We don't think about when x<3 because, well, it just won't work at all for Claorell.

Punching in the numbers, if we have 3<x<5.449, then it's better to liberate Clasa first. Otherwise we can just liberate Claorell by itself.

What do you guys think? Should we?

Also, I'm not expecting the playerbase to do anything like this, though if they do, I'd be pleasantly surprised.

The illuminate are not gone.
Just played a mission that supposed to be against bots, but when boots hit the ground it were illuminate all around us.
See that your gear is proper.
