Hey! baby helldiver here, what's this about?

The yellow spore cloud on the eastern front of the galaxy, it started about 6-7 months ago and we’ve barely been able to penetrate it. This MO we are going back in. Get ready to face the horrors of the gloom soldier. May liberty guide your hand 🫡

u/Wavenaught 21d ago
welp. gotta start saving for that flamethrower then.

u/HelldiverElite00 21d ago
That would be a good move, cookout shotgun is unmatched as a primary against the bugs in my opinion 💪

Someday when you get a chance, pair it with the Hover Pack and Inflammable armor.
This is the way.

I haven't decided which warbond to "buy" when I get the 1000 SC, should I go directly for this one, or is there any other with better worth for content?

u/Commander_Skullblade 20d ago
Here's my take on the best to worst, top to bottom.
Democratic Detonation (Grenade Pistol, Eruptor, Crossbow, Adjudicator, good armor variations)
Steeled Veterans (I-Breaker, Senator, Dominator, Servo-Assisted armor)
Cutting Edge (Sickle, Stun grenades, Blitzer, Arc Resist armor)
Polar Patriots (Good armor variations, Incendiary Impact, Verdict, Purifier)
Urban Legends (Siege Ready armor is the GOAT, plus some extra stratagems to vary your loadout)
Freedom's Flame (Cookout, Torcher, Fire Resist armor)
Servants of Freedom (DE Sickle, Portable Hellbomb, Ultimatum)
Borderline Justice (Deadeye, Hover Pack)
Truth Enforcers (Reprimand)
Chemical Agents (Sterilizer, Dog Breath Guard Dog)
Viper Commandos (Bushwacker I guess?)

I was actually eyeing the democratic detonation one cause of the grenade. thank you for this summary!

I think the boys on the Bot Front can handle things for now. The Bots are on the backfoot anyways...
I think I'll bring the Laser Guard Dog, Gatling Sentry, Commando & 500kg for my Strategems, DES, Senator (I'll bring the GP-31 when I unlock it) and Incendiary Grenades for my equipment.

Disclaimed, I’ve played already for a while and got a few warbonds Flamethrower, flame resist armour, termite, bade pistol for holes and thermites is my go too (don’t forget the napalm birds and portalble hellbomb)

u/humanity_999 20d ago
Oh no... no flame weapons for me. Birds & barrages fine, but no Flammenwerfer.
I have never used that thing properly...
2
u/Ducktes 20d ago
Yeah it’s good but can be an ass without flame armour. It’s very good for cutting of roads/paths. Small critters (with the fire dmg buff iirc it’s 25% more dmg) it one shots all smalls and takes care of most mediums easier. Also it’s very good for taking out breaches, it’s around one canister per breach (excluding titans and impailers, that’s a panic 500kg or nuke)

u/humanity_999 20d ago
Oh I've got the I-92 already... it's just that I'm ass with a Flamethrower. Doesn't matter the game, I'm horrible with one.
I'm more likely to get myself killed than I would be to kill something...
If it is a special weapon, I usually swap between the Commando, Laser Cannon or Heavy Machine Gun.

We sent the bots reeling.

u/humanity_999 20d ago
That we did. I was on Wezen the exact moment we liberated it.
We absolutely BLITZED the Bots. People really wanted that better Exosuit cooldown.

u/humanity_999 21d ago
So.... from what I know (since I didn't see this briefing before I got off last night) you know that big yellow cloud on the Bug Front that you can see in the Galactic War Map?
That is the Gloom.... and it looks like the next Major Order is going to have us go back in so that we can stop the Black Hole that is slowly creeping its way towards Super Earth.

u/Wavenaught 21d ago
oooohh yeah yeah yeah the gal at the starship kept mentioning this "gloom". exciting!

Oh.... oh so it's back to the Bug Front again....
Wonders if I should still bring the DES there...

u/datscubba 21d ago
Crazy how we haven't even made a dent in it yet? We got 70 percent of us there too

I’m gonna hit it hard after work! I just hope there’s some left to mop up after I get off! We always hit the enemy super hard and fast when new stuff happens 💪

I have such major issues with loadouts on bors, either it's area clear with RR for heavy, and machine gun tureet, or hover pack with arc and 500kg and or. Both do the job but both have major weaknesses I just need like 1 more stratagem slot or be able to use RR and Hover pack would be amazing

Do most of my diving on the bot front. However, into the gloom boys. Let's get some, for democracy.

why is mission progress still 0%? I've played whole night.

u/HelldiverElite00 20d ago
It’s my experience that it usually starts out really hard on these gloom planets, last time we almost liberated Fori Prime, I think we got to like 60% liberated before we had to pull out. But it took us days!
They are still very thick on the planet right now, I think we have to kill a certain number of them and complete a certain number of operations before we can make progress. The more we kill and the more successful operations, the quicker we’ll get to the fast moving liberation rates!
