Oh we'll get the mines eventually, no doubt.
And hey, they announced they are going to revert the patrol spawning back to how it used to be, to the benefit of solo players/small groups:

Smart move to revert back to the old patrol cadence. Now revert the Quasar cool down and Eruptor power and I'll be a happy Helldiver.
I am MAD about it. Woke up hoping for the best, but we won't even squeak it at this point.
All this talk about the erupter and no one wants a shorter cooldown on the orbital railcannon. Fight for me, folks! Haha!
Oh snap. I'm on board with that too! Give me that 90 second cool down! You give us all that and the community with kill 2 Billion bots with ease.
Had some weird glitches this morning. When I loaded in the match, my stratagems were ordered differently than when I selected them in the lobby. I wasn't able to call in reinforcements or supplies either as those prompts just weren't even listed (and wouldn't work even when still trying). That + when in 1st person mode during aiming my diver was holding an invisible weapon. Anyone else experience this?
I'm excited for the upcoming support troop strategem that we'll likely get if we win this major order.
oh damn, we have finally officially entered the "Second Galactic War"!
I didn't think this would happen till we get a new faction
if arrowhead manages to follow my expecations from what I expect to happen now, we are in for a very hot summer campaign

What do you expect to happen??
I've had the last one a lot. Goes away somehow when reloading/switching weapons
That Galactic War message sounds a lot to me like they're hinting at a leaked Stratagem where you can call in soldiers to fight alongside you
I can't believe they would get political all of a sudden and call it a special military operation

How it started:
How it ended:
Love the gunships, must have killed about 20 of them with the laser cannon but the randoms were just straight up avoiding the towers for some reason

All orbital strikes need adjusted cooldowns. Eagles strikes are far superior since you get multiple uses.
Yep, need to get the hang of timing the startup to land on big stuff, but also switched due to faster cooldown.
precision strike being able to take out detection towers and research station side objective without hellbomb is also a big plus!
Honestly think Air Strike and Orbital Precision Strike are the most dependable and versatile stratagems for damage dealing.
Not sure if people have seen it yet but there is a new ingame Strohmann News on the super destroyer screen that talks about the current situation:

As if it couldn't get laid in any thicker lol. I like it though. I was hoping for the kick off to be something a bit more dramatic.
I don't know what "Special Military Operation" refers to but I suspect the US army and maybe something to do with the war in Iraq?
While I believe there is multiple things it could refer to. Combined with the "72 Hours of Training", it's clearly in reference to Russia's actions in Ukraine. I think to this day, Russia doesn't claim it's a war but a "Special Military Operation".
My main takeaway from this is the image of them clearing the battlefield of junk metal for recycling.

I ran a couple of Helldive missions right now with a Pummeler/Grenade Pistol/Ballistic Shield/Laser Cannon loadout and had a blast, one of the most fun loadouts I've tried so far.
Team had a bunch of "sub-optimal, non-meta" loadouts and we still managed to breeze by the ICBM and Rescue Personnel missions 🤷

just did an entire level 7 operation where the 3 other teammates used the quasar cannon. I thought it would cause a problem if they missed their shots, which they did lol, but we did just fine and it let me pick the airburst launcher for some crowd control.
Speaking of the airburst, I wish they could up the armor penetration a bit. I feel it do less work against armored bile spewers that you can get at the higher levels. Sometimes it kills a group of them in one shot, but other times they don't explode which sucks. I can see why the devs might be wary of doing that though; enough armor penetration to kill a group of armored spewers might give it enough power to demolish devastator swarms and destroy their AA emplacements, as well as possibly being the go to support weapon for destroying shrieker nests and spore towers. Might even be able to one shot the factory strider by shooting the underside.
honestly I don't even know what the list of meta weapons are, I'm guessing the scorcher for bots and sickle for bugs.

yeah I had a similar build with stun grenades. It made for a versatile loadout against bots.

I have had the invisible weapon + stuck in FPS mode before.
Yesterday I dropped out of a match right at the end, but instead of the app crashing to PS home menu, I got a black screen then I was instantly back on my own ship. I even got the Personal Order credit for kills during the mission I crashed out of. I was then able to quickly rejoin the match from the social menu and extract with seconds to spare. So maybe they've sorted out some of the hard crashes with a less critical handling flow?
Oh yeah, Stun Grenades are awesome. Stun a Hulk and melt it's face with the Laser Cannon.
Yeah those are the best kind of runs! I never liked to fight bots, because it always feels like we are getting our asses blasted from all directions, but found a nice group for a lvl 7 run and it went really smoothly.
I'm pretty sure it's done on purpose. Eagle cluster bomb/airburst are fun to use but due to increased chance and number of higher armor enemies at 8-9, I have a hard time choosing them over the Eagle Airstrike. Air strike can take out wounded titan, charger; also works on wounded hulk, tank, walker. It's so versatile I almost never go on a mission without it unless I'm just messing around in low difficulty levels.
The plasma is pretty much an S tier primary weapon for bots. I don't even have to have a support weapon lv 7 or lower if I want to mess with other things instead. The only odd thing about it is that it can't destroy some heat sinks which is a bit of a head scratcher.

Ummmmmmm Aesir Pass is under attack and while I knew it could happen I guess I just didn't understand how close the Bots are creeping. We let them have too much ground and now they're moving inward. One more planet deep and they'll be firmly entrenched in our personal space. Knowing the player base I think that defense order is defo gonna fail too. Especially the Major Order is on the bugs, as passive as the order is.
Although between you and I, I'd be willing to let them take ground just to add some fucky wrinkles to the campaign 😈
