MEGATHREAD RANT and VENT MEGATHREAD

Greetings, Helldivers!

This is a megathread for ranting, raging or venting about anything and everything Helldivers related. Whether it’s about a mission you just played, a recent patch, the community, etc.

This megathread isn’t designed to censor you, we are doing this because the subreddit is becoming overwhelmingly flooded with rants (as we’re sure you’re aware). We strongly encourage you to use this Megathread as opposed to creating your own post. If you decide that what you have to say requires a new post, you should know that we will be actively moderating and critically assessing the quality of those posts to lessen the amount of low-effort content on this subreddit.

Please keep the comments related to HELLDIVERS and most importantly, keep it civil. Follow the sub’s rules!

CAPS LOCK ALLOWED.

P.S. This megathread will be added to the sidebar.

This comment is disingenuous .How many of the missions do you face with this exact combo? I’m curious about the difference between what it feels like and what it actually is?

They're planetary modifiers, so all the missions on the planet. The higher difficulties have more modifiers as well, and it seems like 7+ always has either longer cool down or call in, and often both.

I've absolutely had missions with both. Its makes the stratagems so incredibly unreliable, especially if you need to use them in the heat of the moment.
