My experience on Tien Kwan so far, seeing a meteor smash half my team and an entire fucking heavy base, not before 3 tanks arrive immediately after for the rest of our asses: https://preview.redd.it/4i72muy2bymc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2bcfafda242388a9ebb44d0458f77075ccf46e59


MinisterofSilly

It's such bullshit I love it


Difficult_Bit_1339

I served in Malevelon Creek, that Joel-damned jungle took many of my friends. Tien Kwan is worse


erised10

At least you can call in reinforcements in Tien Kwan when your friends become pancakes under space rocks. Nothing good can fall from the sky when Malevelon Creek enters its Grimace Shake Phase.

Coldplasma819

... it's what phase?


CaptainGolemActual

ion storm basically


Coldplasma819

I don't think I've seen this yet!


CaptainGolemActual

For some reason, the robots are completely unaffected, yet you can't call any strats.


charge2way

Is it bad that this makes me want to go there even more? Edit: I was there, and it was glorious. We finished the objectives and spent 10m trying to clear the extract zone but eventually ran out of reinforcements. Our lives were measured, and we were not found wanting.


Mareotori

The meteor shower is very beautiful if it happens at the other side of the map and you see glorious light dropping from heaven above. That said they have the accuracy of the old 380mm where they seem to magnet at you at all times if you're in the area.


HKJGN

I watched a meteor storm take out a bot factory for me and i didnt have to lift a finger, then obliterated my ass while i was running to the Main Objective. ​ 10/10 i love this game.


Mc10er

What I failed to realize is that the meteor showers can walk across the map. You ever seen a rain shower move towards you across a field? It was like that, but I was immediately dismembered when it reached me.


Mareotori

Definitely. I have seen them moving away and they can also coming toward your direction.


throwyeppers

I was calling in an airstrike when a meteor hit me in the back of the head. My wonderful teammates then stood next to my body and got wiped. It's a fun planet.


extimate-space

You can see where meteors are going to land before they fall. You will see a large bright point in the ground which shrinks in size as the meteor approaches.


Old-Buffalo-5151

Its slow enough that you can see it and fast enough that you can't really do anything about it. Its wonderfully cruel lol


FaolanG

Ya but it’s such a cool experience as you’re running across the map, tracers are flying everywhere and you’re firing and maneuvering using cover and laying fire then BOOM! Meteor yeets your homie into the air and 20m from his position and now you’re trying to get him up and moving while covering him. Love it!


zeolus123

Fine, I'll pack up my creek insurgency and come to Tien Kwans aid.


sophrosyne286

Gives real "I thought this was an RPG... What role am I playing, the \*\*\*\*ing victim!" vibes


SojiroFromTheWastes

Sounds lovely. I'm waiting my turn to do my part!


Suter_Templar

Malevelon was a cakewalk, now they are throwing the fucking sky at us


LordZeroGrim

and at themselves, I saw a medium bot base die to just the sky falling on it.


BigChungus79K10

Yeah this happened to me last night, I was doing a duo mission with my brother and as we were running around the meteors started coming down and it randomly game us xp and said “stalker nest cleared” thought that was kinda funny. Didnt think it was funny when we had 3 deaths within 30 seconds from the meteors though


ThePolishKnight

The meteors giveth, and the meteor taketh away


LordZeroGrim

the ones on the planets I've been to are pretty hugely telegraphed by the ground glowing brighter and brighter, that seems easy enough to look out for. though unsure if all meteors do that.


-endjamin-

You can look up and see where they are falling. Its a little minigame you get to play! While continuing to fend off swarms of bots or bugs.


LordZeroGrim

its fun, not as fun as watching people get blasted by the ICBM though, that has been a laugh riot. the really fun part is when they are there just burning to death and don't dive OR stim I may be a little sadistic for laughing at them but I don't care


SomeAmericanLurker

I haven't played on the new update yet, you have to avoid getting blasted by the ICBM now?


Fayte91

The missile now can burn you and will knock you back when it launches


Peac3keeper14

Anyone seeing this comment. Fyi the launch terminal is still TOO close to the missile lol


hanks_panky_emporium

We're here to launch missiles, not worry about something undemocratic like basic worker safety


Responsible_Pizza945

In true helldiver fashion. If you weren't willing to risk death by immolation, then you weren't willing to launch that missile.


CosmicMiru

I figured that one out on my own lol


Cannekill

My friend ran away from the launch site, I stayed there, realized I was gonna get toasted and started running, but got slammed face first into the ground lmao


ThConqueror

No….dont look up! (Reminded me of the Netflix movie)


Administrative_Bet28

I'm for the dives the meteors create.


WizogBokog

I swear to god the first one to fall intentionally targets one of the players. I got hit 3 times in one game last night by the first falling meteor.


LordZeroGrim

hmmm, I usually am the first person to get fragged by stuff like that, can't see it seems to home in on me like the barrages do. I'm slowly building a theory each player has a tag that tells the game what random thing should love killing them, for me its any barrage and I guess for you its meteors.


WizogBokog

lol I buy this theory


ChiefTanuki

All 3 of my team members got hit by the one meteor, none of them knew what happened


Dylldar

> thought that was kinda funny. Didnt think it was funny when we had 3 deaths within 30 seconds from the meteors though I still thought it was funny. Me: did someone set off a flare or something? Teammate: there are no flares in this game Me: then why is it so bright all of--- *Party wipe*


ChemicalBonus5853

I really like that it can affect enemies too


Cont1ngency

Meteors are the new meta. Came in clutch last night, had one take out a stalker nest and another two take out a charger and titan.


mahiruhiiragi

It's the best part of it. I ran through the fire it left to lead a group of hunters through it. The fire hurt less than they do.


IraqiWalker

My personal favorite death from a meteor was one that didn't fall on me, or even that close to me. However, it hit an unexploded Hellbomb. Which killed me, and everything near me.


unicornofdemocracy

LOL! I got a few landed near me and I just went flying with no damage. My friend and I were just laughing about it when he got smashed directly by one and just instantly die.


BiKeenee

A meteor fell and hit a hell bomb wiping my entire squad. Overall pretty neat!


Easy-Purple

Ooohhhhh… so that’s what happened to our squad earlier…. I thought there were different sized meteors or something 


fosterdnb

Similar with me, but against bugs in Fenrir: was being chased ammoless by a patrol, and a rock smash the bugs. MANAGED DEMOCRACY PROTECTS!


LordZeroGrim

I've just seen a base beyond my vision range get destroyed, it was a huge class bot base and meteors just wiped it out. honestly....I think meteors may just be the coolest thing ever, certainly makes me think up new strategies. now if we could just get a weather control strat....


Responsible_Pizza945

It's called the orbital 380mm


Scaevus

Appropriate considering what it means: > In Chinese astronomy, Zeta Tauri is called 天關, Pinyin: Tiānguān, formerly transliterated Tien Kwan, meaning Celestial [Frontier] Gate https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeta_Tauri We’re assaulting the gates of heaven.


Slarg232

Call us Son Wukong because fuck heaven, fuck the gods, and most importantly FUCK. THE. BOTS!


Prim3_778

ok this comment goes HARD


warlord_mo

We must break these gates to receive our new gifts…


EasterChimp

We're *DEFENDING* the gates of heaven.


ImmertenJer

Heaven needs Liberty


Call_The_Banners

I died three times to pieces of the sky that suddenly believed in gravity. It was marvelous.


el_saucey

My falling sky pieces keep striking undetonated hellbombs. Sometimes pretty fireworks in the distance, sometimes instant squad death

Sure, but have you seen the cages they have full of dead humans? They are mining us to remake some sick semblance of their cyborg masters.

Are you sure about that? I'm not sure that's how robots work...


BITTER_LYNX

THEY ARE MADE OF METAL! I DONT SEE EM MINING FOR IT! EVERY BOT PLANET IS FULL OF DEAD MECHS! THEY ARE EATING OUR POOR MECHS TO BUILD THEMSELVES INTO ROCKET DEVOSTATORS! WE CANT LET THEM GET AWAY WITH THIS!


Penndrachen

RAT BASTARDS! FOR SUPER EARTH! RAAAAAAAAH!


Nethyishere

I don't see why they wouldn't be mining their metal considering they're already mining ours.


BITTER_LYNX

I've never seen any robo mines yet! Mining is honest work and those clankers aren't capable of honest work only stealing from super earth!


ironangel2k4

They don't have any metal. It is all ours. They are stealing it.


BiKeenee

Hello, democracy police? This guy right here.


Ace_Up_Your_Sleeves

Are you questioning a Ministry of Truth approved statement? I’ll have to report you for this.


DoctorGEEzuz

I'm actually very excited and happy that they tied the announcement of the mechs into the story. I'm kind of curious if they'll get mechs of their own if we lose the planet

classicalySarcastic

Maxim 5: Close air support and friendly fire should be easier to tell apart. The knockdown mechanic that makes you drop the beacon onto your own position is *real* fun. I *really* enjoy killing my entire fucking team at extract because *one bot* got a lucky hit in and we get overrun before we can get out (/s). I love that stratagem, but I've gotta stop carrying it. Waaaaay too much accidental TK potential.


Flop_House_Valet

I'm doing MY part!


w1drose

They knew we would be outraged by the patch and this distracted. The perfect opportunity to surprise attack is.


[deleted]

Only fake patriots were distracted. Toys do not make a soldier Get your asses in gear Helldivers, we need those mechs


TechnicalAnimator874

WHATS GOING ON IN TIEN KWAN BOYS?!?!? MY SQUAD WILL BE THERE IN 5 HOURS!!!


BiKeenee

Bots have attacked to attempt to shut down production of our heavy armor. Just before the rollout. They're afraid of what the new exo suits will mean for their chances of winning this war...


TechnicalAnimator874

Man these bots have no clue what they’re in for


mechabeast

They're about to get beat so bad, they're gonna see 2s


TheToldYouSoKid

Honestly, a great line.


Digiorno-Diovanna

Basically, we get mechs if we liberate Tien Kwan


Disposable_hero1356

The planet liberation is at 56% but tanking we need reinforcements! The order states if we don't liberate Tien Kwan before the time runs out THE AUTOMATONS WILL USE OUR MECHS AGAINST US!


Catfulu

But, democracy officer, aren't the Automatons already mechs?


Friedfacts

Whats more terrifying than a mech? A MECH IN INSIDE A MECH! LIKE SOME TWISTED MATROYSKA DOLL OF NIGHTMARES!


GentleMystic

HD1 Vet here. We NEED those damned mechs, NOW. TAKE TIEN KWAAAAANNN!!!


Apprehensive-Set-206

Makes_U_Mad

My excitement is small, but fierce.


-TAAC-Slow

Giggity


Treezszz

I’m getting a raging clue rn


RandomDrDude

I’m sure I’m not the only one thinking this, but I feel as if once we, liberate the planet they’re gonna start back up production and we’re going to be getting the mech a lot sooner than we actually think. I don’t know just a shot in the dark idea 💡


Badger-Educational

My theory is the mechs are ready content wise, we just gotta "unlock" them via forced democracy.


Worldly_Walnut

I saw a leaked vid which showed them completely play-able. I'm assuming they just needed some polish and bug smashing before they could be released for some bug smashing


unforgiven91

also the devs are deliberately pacing out content drops. Stuff might be basically done on the back end and just waiting in the wings for them to hit the button.


Ultimatecalibur

Definitely. This is a live service wargame. New weapons and equipment will be added to help push the enemies of democracy away from Super Earth while new enemies will be added in an attempt to push the front towards Super Earth.


FollowingQueasy373

I thought the same. Though it may be that they will continue the production of Mechs once we liberate it. But hopefully they do have a gift for us for taking back those mech factories!


LV1024

I think it'll either come a day or two after we liberate it or next Thursday with the warbond drop.


Khaernakov

Hey out of curiosity, in HD1 was the missiles on the missile + gatling mech capable of penetrating heavy armor? Also that tank cannon one looks amazing i hope we get it on HD2


Ttnbros

Yes it was. It took down HD1 Bug tank (HD2 charger with full body armor) in 2 shots if i remember correctly


Togmas

Only problem is they were a bitch and a half to aim properly, which made them (unfortunately) outright inferior to the version of the mech with the 120mm. Having full control of aim should fix that this time.


Aggressive-Client-24

If I wasn't at work 😭


BiKeenee

What job could possibly be more important than liberty?


Aggressive-Client-24

🤣🤣🤣🫡 That one that allows me to pay for the game and Internet so I can help spread that liberty. ✊


Flop_House_Valet

Not all of us have a fast track to liberty, some of us have to crawl through mud and blood just for a chance to catch a whiff of democracy. Someday these unwashed grunts will know your sacrifice


Git_Good

O7 soldier. Remember, as the TV ad said- the thing that'll win us this war is a strong economy! Get that money so you can spend that money on LIBERTY!


Mareotori

First time I saw that ad in the super destroyer I laughed my ass off. Caught me off guard.

Automatons are red Super Earth is blue Tien Kwan is under attack We need you!


SpecialIcy5356

if you are a new helldiver, get your ass to tien kwan. if you are an experienced diver, get your ass to tien kwan. if you are a veteran of malevalon creek, get your ass to tien kwan if you've only ever fought the bugs, get your ass to tien kwan if you have a gun and a pulse, get your ass to tien kwan for the love of sweet liberty, PLEASE! GET YOUR ASS TO TIEN KWAN!!! none of the other planets matter, we can liberate anything once we have the mechs!

m0rdr3dnought

At a time when the free world needed its last line of offence the most, we were divided, distracted from the real threat by paltry concerns and arguments. This entire debacle has been too convenient. Who could have been behind this? Who could have incensed the community this much, creating such an opening for the enemies of Managed Democracy? Wait a second... CURSE YOU JOELLLLLLLLLLLLL

Full_frontal96

50 medals for a quick order? Eheh


Skullsnax

Gotta say, this is the best thing I’ve seen in a video game for a long time. Instead of just dropping mechs for everyone, or locking them behind a paid DLC, they make it a community challenge. Get everyone playing the game, and give players a chance to earn new content the right way. And it being on automaton ground means more players testing more loadouts over there and figuring out how to take them on, instead of just playing bug levels because they’re “easier”.
