Helldivers 2 - New Helldive Spread Democracy Mission is Awesome (Helldive Solo)

really enjoyed the new spread democracy mission, even though it did kinda feel fairly easy, its simple concept is very easy to grasp and easy to enjoy ;)
Enjoy!

I had no idea this mission was available at lower difficulty, my bad Helldivers, thought it was new 😭

[@Clucky117]

Bah, it is practically new! Me and my friends actually never played on low enough difficulty tiers to even see it. We just jumped straight in too far for them to show up. Glad to see it come up to the difficulties we all play at though.

[@davidballantyne4492]

I told you on your patch video :p

[@Dolerey]

I've never even played a mission with this XD

[@ncsharkmanandk9queen904]

Dang no love for the lower levels.

[@homm3bonedragon242]

No worries man! Love to see it at higher level, and love your content

[@TheBestBlueGamer]

They finally added it to higher difficulties!! Let’s go!!

[@biglincdog]

these constant 1000+ kill games are insane

[@piercearora7681]

Yeah. The skill on display is really impressive, especially just the endurance of being able to play for so long constantly fighting while making very few mistakes. To be fair though, most really good players prioritize side objectives over kills, so it isn't quite a fair comparison. But yeah, super impressive

[@pechenka8745]

it's not a new mission type btw. they just brought it to difficulties higher than easy🤓

[@skie6282]

They might also make bug breaches happen in a future update. Makes sense.

[@zotaninoron3548]

The flag will raise as long as your on the point (and seems to retract when off the point), but it will only complete when the immediate area is clear of all enemies large and small.

The flag takes 5 min to raise if it is uninterrupted. It goes down very quickly if you leave the area. It also attracts all near by patrols with the music.

[@tomcampbellsoup]

I tweeted out to them about this, got 1600 likes, and it was added with the new update! Was cool to see it make an impact

Good job dude, looks like a fun mission type. Can't wait to get off work and try it out.

[@sidekic1109]

@@zippyparakeet1074 It used to only exist on like, difficulty 1 and 2. It's really boring there tho lmao

[@zenks5883]

holy shit dude, thanks for asking this, it turned out way more fun the i expected, and first i though it to be stupid from lore perspective but then i realised "raising the flag" is the perfect cover up for an extermination mission so it can still make sense for it to not only be a newbie training mission type!

[@PaperMage236]

I had never played this mission when I was at level 1-3 either. It's a very funny mission and being forced to stay in such a small area will potentially be a challenge.

[@Lucarioux]

i remember doing the flag in lower difficulty and immediately I realized that this mission had some potential to be difficult. This mission is effectively capture the control point as you have to stay within range of the flag to raise it and if you leave the flag it loses all its progress at a fairly fast rate. So if your team doesn't have any staying power then it'll take forever to do.

[@abcdefgcdefg5178]

Or if you get in a breach loop with BTs it's a real pain, have to leave the OBJ and go somewhere else for a bit, I was on the 2nd flag with a breach loop happened to me and had 7 Bile titans in just a few min and just kept kiting into patrols, finally cleared all the hunters so I could clear the chargers and BTs and got the other OBJ done and got to extraction with 4 sec left on the clock and 2 more BTs trying to follow me home for dinner

[@L_videogame]

@@abcdefgcdefg5178 I can’t be the only one who thinks bile titans are super lame. They have no weak spot and just slow the game down until you have a stratagem which works to kill it.

[@abcdefgcdefg5178]

@L_videogame if you shoot bile sac they can't spew and then all they can do is stomp, also there are plenty of weapons that can kill a BT, EATs, quasar, RR, railgun, even the flamethrower..they can be a little lame if a bunch spawn at extract but I'd rather fight a BT than a bunch of hunters

[@Lucarioux]

BTs are much weaker ever since the nerf to their head HP. Their heads are two shots (I think one if you kill all sacs) to EATs, Recoilless Rifle, and quasar effectively making them equivalent to two chargers in terms of firepower required to take them down. Personally, I think people sleep on EATs as that's basically a stratagem that kills 1 BT or 2 chargers per minute. It's even one of the earliest anti-armor unlocks. But dealing with 3+ BTs at the same time is a bit tough.

[@ektoxity2671]

that aim brother, so nice to watch.

[@Wolf-Nyan]

there's a solid chance the stalker cloak fix with how it interacted with fog may have resulted in an indirect buff, as there is some degree of fog over the ground literally f^cking everywhere at all times on pretty much every planet, so they were almost always highlighted

[@enriqueolmeda8157]

The clutch extraction no words he played it off

[@MrZerged]

Epic ending!!! 🙌

[@godslayer9000]

Fun fact: hmg emplacement can snipe the spore spewer from atleast 340 meters away. Also a single emplacement has enough ammo (or should i say damage?) to take down 5 shrieker nests. On top of its defensive utilities when extracting or doing long objectives, you can also use it with the jetpack to get up to high ground and rain fire from above. Just make sure to test th ground with another stratagem because many high ground places are bouncy, and stratagems will either not deploy or bounce off.

[@zenks5883]

ye, its pretty fun but i struggle to use it coz there's always either a titan a charger or a spewer that will instantly destroy me and/or emplacement that im using any tips? Highground so high that bugs cant reach is very rare

[@phalanx21860]

There's actually a lot of options when it comes to bile titans and horde clearing options. lately i've been running the gattling barrage or the air burst orbital with a 500kg, 500 for heavy targets, airburst/gattling for breaches. I've also been using *choice* of airstrike with a precision orbital. precision orbital can one tap a bile titan if you hit it right and with practice it's really not too difficult. most of the stratagems are actually really good at what they're supposed to do, but they don't get a lot of action because they aren't "meta"

[@Wwillswords]

Well and skill to use. Precision strike is a pain to get right when the orc just foes the work for me.

[@WeaselBlaster]

You’re awesome bud

[@jobanski]

Wow! All I can say is “wow”!

[@MrMcoleman]

Nice gameplay! How do you get to your strats so fast? I played the video at half speed and you've popped the menu and keyed in half the sequence in just a frame or two

[@-JF-]

The bug extractions are way more chaotic than the bot ones

[@maxermrh1979]

One of my finest moments was in diff 5 game with low level players. I killed 1 charger with a resupply drop, another with the EAT drop, and then the bile titan with the actual EATs. It was my smoothest sequence ever, and hella satisfying. I wish I could pull those moves more often!

[@ericsfishingadventures4433]

I remember some of the game devs playing with a random player and they said instantly dropping support items when you land will instantly spawn a horde or patrol, maybe it's changed with patches but it still seems to happen

The ending reminded me of that rick and morty episode where they got back into the car and started breaking down crying! XD lmao!

[@darkehartplays]

As far as I can tell, it only changes to demand the elimination of nearby enemies when it's ready to unfurl the flag.

[@yumfries111]

Reminder: Did you turn off auto climb??

Takibo you should really give orbital precision strike as a substitute for 500kg, it’s a 100% kill rate as long as it lands on the titan and it has a relatively low cool down as well. It’s honestly great lol

[@fullofheal]

I have a question about sprinting, you call stratagems while sprinting, I assume if you reassign stratagem arrows to different buttons it doesnt stop you. But another question is you open a minimap while sprinting - this I already dont get, I think my helldiver either walks without shift with map open, or map disappears when I press shift

[@Xeruloudon]

Keybind them to other buttons then the walking buttons , he uses Marcos for it also. He never seems to respond in the comments he responds in his videos. And for the minimap there is a setting you. can change in the HUD options.

[@patrickhuffman9632]

What's up legend.

[@natesones6946]

Try gas’s instead of napalm if you want to run 500s it only does one bug hole but with the flame thrower as host the stacked dot is killer

[@TroyBrophy]

I like bot blitz missions because I can often grab super samples and extract in under 15 minutes solo.

[@KingLouisII]

You never did the flag mission at the starter difficulties? It's always existed, just now they added it to the high difficulty lists.

The redeemer is actually the same, more recoil on weapons = you just have to have more control

[@Morgothazreal]

Not everything needs to be complex, doing it for fun is fine. I don't think the Raise the Flag mission works as a main mission on higher levels, but perhaps as a secondary objective.

[@supermodestmouse]

i honestly love the anthem music. Someone data mined the actual song with lyrics. it's very moving. makes me want to be a better diver. Also, the flag raising is like 2 minutes.

[@eagle5547]

Can you actually kill bile titans with flamethrowers?

[@Barghaest]

I rather like missions like this… the ICBM, data retrieval, 710 extraction… the ones I don’t like are the blitz and elimination ones. I don’t care for holding off the Zerg, I want objectives I can do at my pace on a sizable map.

[@n16r49]

If you are of the flag area the flag starts to lower again also pretty sure you don't have to clear small bugs to raise flag, at least it raised just fine for me with them not aggro-ed.

damn you good

[@Xeruloudon]

I have been watching allot of you games and have been noticing that , yeah my 7's got like double your enemies on a 9.. and it's fairly consistent, I'm starting to wonder if you are sponsored by the devs and or they even blessed you with better odds on breaches and such , yeah sure you die sometimes but in generally your matches are really chill. And no it's not the patch. I've been considering this for over 2 weeks already

[@abcdefgcdefg5178]

He just doesn't post the ones where he fails most of the time, he says so in other videos, alot of it is just rng, has nothing to do with him being "sponsored by devs" I run 9s that seem like a 2 as far as enemy spawns sometimes and so.etimes they feel like Joel is just hip thrusting the enemy spawn button...he plays 9s where he has over 1000 kills so def not always a walk in the park

[@Xeruloudon]

@abcfdefgcdefg5178 I assumed something like this , either a deal or he did multiple runs and uploaded the smoothest one, I've also had walks in the park before on high difficulties so yeah , plausible. It wasn't meant as an insult in any way also, Takibo got some real skill. Undeniable. It just seemed like his odds where like way but way better then ours. Thanks for the response tho , I value the effort.

[@Cerrajero8]

Takibo started his first games in helldiver difficult already 😂

[@fiesesalien]

I tested the blitzer extensevely and I came to the conclusion: Helluva fun but sadly it targets everything. Your vegan neighbour, the poop-pile in your pants as four bile titans pop up in front of you, a falling leaf as well as the little stone you never noticed until now. :( But its fun! Stay crunchy.

[@lynchh270]

what made you swap off scout armour?

[@InvaderTroy]

I cant speak for takibo but for me it doesnt do enough to be effective vs bugs. They spot you anyway and at that point extra nades, stims, limb health, or even explosive resistance (with certain loadouts) are just better. Scout works until it doesnt and then you have to deal with hordes anyway so why not just be aggressive.

SALUTE THE FLAG HELLDIVER

[@gu1lty99]

The Blitzer is better but far away from usable in higher difficulties. It does not chain between enemies like the ArcThrower does and the fire rate is still too low to deal with swarms. Everyone using it today kept burning through reinforces like no tomorrow.

[@theresnothinghere1745]

Its perfectly fine for higher difficulties. I've been using it in 2 person helldives and haven't really had issue with it. You just need to treat it like what it is, a means to hold the line if you can funnel enemies. The multi stagger it provides makes it easy to stay in place and push enemies back. The main thing to watch out for is that you can't get sorrounded, you need to have the backbone of the enemy ahead of you to hold a position.

[@abcdefgcdefg5178]

Like nothing said, def usable on 9s, the stagger is fantastic and so is the second thrower, especially on bots the arc thrower is a beast. A little more practice with it and I'm sure you will see how good it is 😊

[@abcdefgcdefg5178]

Btw please don't take my last comment as condescending, I really do mean keep practicing with it because if you get the technique down with both those weapons it will help alot

Note you can just spam click around the map and find the side objectives. When it highlights it in a box you will know that it's a side objective and you can see what kind it is on your compass on top.
