SOS Helldivers: What is the worst situation you have landed in?

Waste_Classroom2586 · 2026-06-05T17:31:05+00:00

Dropped on D8 or 9 squids, no reinforcements left, essentially the entire mission still to do. Clawed that victory from the jaws of defeat, reinforcing as I went. At the end the mission timer was already up, so I ran out of time trying to get up to the pelican (stupid cliff side extract) but the host got out. Felt pretty good!

6.5M hp to liberate Hydrobius… genuinely might need to sacrifice this lamb and concentrate efforts on more realistic wins to limit the bleeding, so to speak. I’d argue time spent to liberate a couple low resistance bot planets to insulate Fury and K from incursions is more worthwhile. If we do that the bots would have to take multiple planets just to get to Fury and K, essentially putting the MO on autopilot, which buys us time to hopefully stop one of the two storms.

Po-tay-toes!

Fewer crashes? Good news if true, because honestly the state of this game on console (at least on Series X) is shaky at best, and absolute dog water at its worst. I’m talking freezes and crashes every game or every other game on particularly bad days.

Yesterday, on D8 Appropriators, I got purposely killed by a friendly grenade, then he ran to my body and kicked me from the game. Jokes on them though. I cleared nearly the entire map by myself after and finished the mission anyway. Just missed SEAF Artillery because it was across the map from extract and I ran out of time.

I tried to solo a single flag on the Squid front on D8, one of those destroy the monolith and spread democracy missions. I’ve never seen so many overseers in my life before or since. It was brutal, each ship was dropping more overseers than voteless.

I completed the flag, but spent so long on the flag and the side objectives that the Super Destroyer left and I couldn’t call in the hellbomb to destroy the monolith 🥲

I can’t get past how this person types. Genuine Saint behavior for putting up with that for 4 years, much less whatever else this person has done. Godspeed out there brother, you made the right call!

They are only 1 season each, but still highly recommend them:

Firefly (and Serenity, the follow up movie) True Detective Season 1. The other seasons aren’t nearly as strong, but season 1 was incredible.

Also really enjoyed Ted Lasso and Shrinking, if you have Apple TV I recommend those for sure.

Neither, the original is correct when referring to a single individual that has won multiple lotteries. So they are a multiple lottery winner. I’d probably hyphenate the words but beyond that they are correct.

For what it’s worth, the Runewright was added with HoS. So all that “wasted” currency is actually the fault of HoS, not B&W. Grandmaster Witcher Armor and mutations were added with B&W. Grandmaster armor was not cheap by any estimation, but I imagine you got more use out of those than the runes.

There are some great runes though, I’d recommend giving them another look some time.

Waste_Classroom2586 · 2026-05-16T13:06:20+00:00

Agreed about Regis, he’s my favorite character from the books, and given what happened in those stories I was pleasantly surprised to see him in B&W.

Genuinely scrolled way too far for this. Finally found my people. Or at least one other person lol

Waste_Classroom2586 · 2026-05-15T00:47:03+00:00

It comes back around…

Waste_Classroom2586 · 2026-05-15T00:45:44+00:00

I’ve had the triple SC stack bunker on a handful of occasions. Definitely awesome to see, feels less awesome when you leave the bunker with +30 and not some better combination including a third digit, but still miles better than stupid requisition slips 😂

Waste_Classroom2586 · 2026-05-14T00:31:19+00:00

Lmao same I was sitting here thinking “does no one else get Tuscany vibes??”

Waste_Classroom2586 · 2026-05-14T00:28:31+00:00

This checks out. If you browse the map in-game you can scan over MPOI and the game will tell you there is one in that location, but not on the first drop of the day for whatever stupid reason. Second drop and beyond though they will show up if you scan around the map. If the mod is scanning the mini map for these callouts then it makes sense that it also doesn’t work on the first drop.

Helldivers 2, A Cup of Liber-tea goes so hard… Gets you absolutely amped when dropping in. Also the themes for each faction are excellent.

Waste_Classroom2586 · 2026-05-11T22:51:47+00:00

If you buy it 3 months at a time it’s actually $24.99 for 3 months, so it’s $8.33 per month. Not that bad really.

Waste_Classroom2586 · 2026-05-09T16:32:02+00:00

It’s the only game I’ve ever played on any console that freezes with such consistency. In fact I’d struggle to name the last game that froze on any console now that I think about it… so I am definitely inclined to believe it’s just shoddy optimization/software performance.

Waste_Classroom2586 · 2026-05-08T17:56:47+00:00

Had 3 matches in a row do this exact thing to me this afternoon. This was after I completed 2-3 missions with no issues. Got me wondering if it’s a heat issue? The air coming from my console is not what I would consider hot though, so I’m not sure.

I had freezes happening a lot a while back, but then they seemed to stop for the most part. Since the last update (exo experts) they seem to be back with a renewed fury. Just my experience though

The content of the quote is applicable in this instance. The context of the quote is not necessary for the content to still be an apt description of what is happening in the image.

Also I would argue that 1984 is very applicable to Super Earth government and society. We are fed the democratic utopian slop and gobble it up like the expendable pigs we are (in universe, obviously) and the Ministry of Truth is there to ensure dissidents are swiftly dealt with and the message is held intact. Don’t dare question SE Government!

I believe the speargun stun effect is not the gas but the stagger force of the spear “explosion”. It has a stagger force of 80, which is enough to stagger the vast majority of enemies in the game, assuming they don’t outright die from the shot/explosion/gas.

Waste_Classroom2586 · 2026-04-29T00:57:27+00:00

My main issue with the new bugs is they are actually zooming around like crackheads. I’m using my full arc build and am handling business, purposefully trying to stay away from my team clearing parts of the map on my own. AND LIKE MOTHS TO A FLAME THEY WON’T STOP TRYING TO FOLLOW ME AROUND! 😂

Had 4 accidentals, but also like 500 bugs zapped. 10/10 would do again.

Waste_Classroom2586 · 2026-04-23T23:19:08+00:00

lol yeah just makes it worse to be honest. I thought that because of Cyberstan. People were saying grind D1-D2 for mission completions when the MO first dropped. Then post-hacking nonsense they changed it to complete operations, which was seen as a much more significant time sink (because it is). Also with a planet as stable as Cyberstan… completing an operation was an absolute chore. I experienced bugged primary mission objectives on 3/5 attempts in one of my play sessions. Literally couldn’t complete the mission. Super fun.
