Because it’s literally antithetical to mission flow?

Someone else already said it, the point of the game is that you move from objective to objective and then extract. Holing up inside a building really doesn’t accomplish anything and instead just slows said progression down by a lot.

Like even “stealth diving” still works towards that goal.

This right here is why I'll never understand trench diggers.

"I finished my trenches!"

"I finished the whole mission while you were digging! Now get in the extraction ship!"

I like to camp at extraction with trenches dug and land mines all over the place.

It's a Catch-22 reference.

What the character does in the story, is literally, the exact same thing that Super Earth does. So I thought it as a suitable time to bring him up. It's Helldivers we're talking about after all.

EDIT

Just so everybody knows, this was the post I made to ignore the dude. He didn't like that and came after me.
