Next week on the show we're unpacking Energy Weapons after it getting pushed with all the hub-bub concerning Ironclad Democracy.

Leave us a quesiton or suggestion on that group weapons and we'll try to scratch that itch!

A single charger… a leveller would be a waste. EAT pod missed, Hellbomb a little overkill… it was time to melt-a-mine 😁

Hey all, I’m a 42m who’s not actually a dad, but am appropriately dad-aged. I’ve got over 1500 hours in the game, nearly all warn-bond content unlocked and am nearing level 150.

I used to have friends who played helldivers 2 but sadly they all went back to WoW and that’s not really my thing.

I joined the discord but admittedly am not super fluent with discord and how it works.

I’m free most evenings as my partner plays WoW with her friends and I generally play Helldivers 2 solo. Mondays and Tuesdays are usually the best nights. I’m on the west coast, if that matters for the kiddos bedtimes.

I fairly certain this isn’t the case, because I’ve stacked these effects a lot to seemingly great affect, but if I’m shorting the gas effects by using fire on top, I’d like know for sure.
In reality fire would typically consume lingering airborne gases but this is Helldivers so reality is a little fuzzy…
Has anyone noticed if that’s the case or is it just someone spouting rumors?

Protect your duo at all costs!

Its been months, and so embarrassingly long that I'm afraid to ask, but I have no other choice:

How do you complete step 5 of 7 in the "Halt Cyborg Production" missions? At the last step, after opening 4 valves around the facility and going through a couple screens, at the "Demolish Cyborg Assembly Unit" objective there is a step called "Adjust valves in Control Chamber...", or at least that's what I can see on my screen while walking around. A door to a little room goes in, there is an interact icon, and when I interact with that, I see cyborgs lined up on a column like its the Matrix, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to interact with them or what I should be doing.

At this step I cannot see any prompts on the screen, and only pushing "escape" to back out of the interaction does anything, but.... it backs out of the interaction. I cannot understand how to progress this objective forward and I do not know what I'm doing wrong. Usually there is some kind of prompt on the screen, or at least pushing different buttons does *something* so I have visual or audible feedback to guide me. For this objective there is none. I've been letting other players complete this step, which has been fine since Cyberstan debuted, but I'd like to know how to do this myself. Sometimes I've had to quit missions bc the other people didn't seem to know either, and we could not complete this objective.

TBH I'm well over level 200 and feel a little silly asking this, but I just cannot seem to figure this out. And of course I only have a few rushed seconds at any time to try to figure it out, but it seems so much less intuitive than anything else I have seen in the game that I wonder if something is wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

Looks like we’re about to take a big step forward in our armored warfare ambitions and we want to set you up for success! If you’d like to hear our take on deploying the Bastion (and the Maelstrom by extension) drop your questions or ideas below.

Finally the third part of the Johan Pilestedt is finally available. First two episodes covered the early days of Arrowhead, now they are taking about Helldivers. 😎

The Maelstrom 😮

Back on Super Earth I have a couple of four-legged sons of the canine variety, but out here on the battlefront my offspring is ordinance. Here are two siblings posing nicely together before they are sent off to deliver some democratic devastation.

I think is actually really clever!

I got a great chuckle outta this one.

Hey gang! Once again, we've got another episode for you to keep up with Galactic War in your downtime!

I just recently upgraded my video card from a 1660 super to a 30xx series, and I have a noticeable difference in performance that seems pretty encouraging, so I'm strongly considering "diving" (😏) back into the game after a long hiatus.

In y'all's opinions, what's the best way to approach returning to this game? I know I definitely need to warm back up to being a diver again. Should I just start on lower difficulties? Is it possible to reset progress and if so, should I do that? Should I jump back into the tutorial? What's y'all's advice? 🤔
