I just bought this game one day ago and only lvl 5. Just hours earlier I did my first two automation missions out of curiosity. First one at a more liberated planet then went to malevelon creek and joined two other players. The moment i landed in i got met with machine gun fire and nearly died but we managed to exfil about 20 minutes later (unfortunately leaving our squad leader behind) I had no clue what i was doing, it was just chaos when I got there so i just kept shooting and blew up those red glowing bases.

Honestly Helldiver's 2 could totally fit in the Warhammer verse if Warhammer and Helldiver's decided to work together. like far, far in the past, before the emperor or slave Marines, there were helldiver's When humanity first reached the stars. There were the automatons and bugs. And thus began the first war, before the emperor led humanity to true glory. Essentially it could work as a prequel to pretty much everything we've seen before.

[@ParanoidCarrot]

the trick is in extraction mission is to have 3 helldivers fight far from the extraction site, MORE CHAOS they can produce less enemies you will have as a solo stealth operator evacuatiing the citizens. this works so well. the single player should have nuke abilities for large patrols, you only succeeds if you can wipe out a patrol with in max 10seconds. it helps when friends are NOT shooting down the drop-ships. or but in fact keep the attention squarely on themselves. thats why you can drop far away from the target site, on that mission and why the map is relatively small but bigger than normal defence mission, point is not to fight there while you extract personel

[@averagetectonicplateenjoyer]

As an Alternative strategy, just convince everyone not to friendly fire

[@ParanoidCarrot]

@@averagetectonicplateenjoyer its not about that the fact is that when the fight is at your location the evacation just takes too long because the enemies block the routes, in lower difficulties sure but anything above challenging you should just have the fighting group and the evac guy.

I don't... Want to remember... His screams... The echo... ... ... it can't be my fault... right?

What I hate (and love) about Automatons is how different they all are. And by that I mean they all have different tactics that work against them. If an army ambushes you with diverse equipment you’ll be pretty screwed, since the strider AT-RT things will suppress you with twin heavy lasers, the infantry will flank you, the heavy units will either wait for a the flanking units to distract you or just push you to get you out of cover and then you have no choice but to somehow retreat under heavy fire from like three sides and a pray their dropships don’t come in and destroy you even more or try to endure the pain of balancing killing the enemies on both sides. It’s hell.

[@Ol_Durty_Badger]

I was there, with my brothers and sisters to my left and right. ChatGPT..I mean The Automatons were moving in force. No matter how we pressed them, another platoon of them would hit us in the flank. What no one warns you about is The heat in the jungle at night, it is unbelievable. My visors readout told me 95°f. with 100% humidity. The fireflies moving through the ferns kept me on edge, always thinking another Communist Bot was lurking in the endless gloom. The sound of Eagles dropping ordinance throughout the night was added to the bizzare and haunting sounds of a jungle at night. Then at 3:30 am I saw the red flash tear through the trees. Hopper was trying to catch a few Z’s while he had the chance. He was leaned up against a rock to my left. The seared no red laser round hit him right above his right eye. Hopper never woke up from that nap…..Within moments the bots were everywhere! Red light shone through the foliage, like a communist forest fire, threatening our Democracy. I immediately called for Artillery fire. Dead air…the Arty was overrun. I called Eagle one for an Airstrike. Dead Air. All combat aviation was either engaged or shot down. I racked a round into my Stalwart, and laid down a base of fire. Gomez and Hayes moved up my left and opened with their Liberators. Gomez was hit immediately by a rocket and blown in half. Atleast she died quick. Hayes saw Gomez’s wrecked frame and began to lose his cool. He panicked and stood up and tried to run. He was almost sawn in half by heavy automatic laser fire immediately. I was now alone. My brothers and sisters littered the jungle floor around me. The rage I felt will never leave me, it’s in my bones now. I began to move along what was our defensive line, finding the bodies of more and more of my fellow Helldivers. I picked up what ammo I could and continued to the radio outpost down the hill. A crimson wave of clanking and jibbering bots never far behind me. I could hear heavy MG and Gatling turret fire nearby so I began to move much quicker towards it. I found 3 Helldivers holding an extraction point with everything they had. The beacon was lit so a pelican was inbound. I called out to them as I erupted from the foliage. They quickly shoved an ammo cam into my hands and without a word I got to work. Every drop of oil I spilled, only seemed to enrage me further. I swapped my Stakwart for a Heavy MG when my barrels were overheated and cooking off rounds. I tore through Not after Not who wandered into my sector of fire. A crisp crackle over the radio, it was the Pelican pilot. He was 30 seconds out. We went full cyclic, mowing down trooper bots and keeping the smarter ones in cover. The pelican rushed in from the indigo night sky and tore up the armored bots with its 30mm nose cannon. The bird touched down and dropped ramp. Laser rounds bounced off it’s hull and went off in all directions. We dove into the transport bay and the pilot was already lifting off. I knelt by the ramp looking down and the dark jungle, crawling with red lights and freedom hating bots. There was a beauty to it all, a sort of chaotic dance to it all. A person who didn’t know what kind of death stalked the jungle may have seen the beauty of wild and untamed nature. All I could see were thousands of young warriors piled dead below me. There was no tim for tears, just time to refit, reload and re-deploy. It’s been ….I don’t know how long since I was last here; watching my squad mates die. Days? Weeks? Doesn’t matter now because I am back here on Malevelon Creek tonight. Where I’ve dedicated myself to slowly but surely ensuring the ground here is forever poisoned by the sheer quantity of oil I spill. Nothing will grow here, it will become a no man’s land. A quiet and desolate place where the thousands of our Honored Dead may rest in peace. Join me brothers and sisters, avenge our fallen, and defend our way of life. For Honor and Duty, and for Superearth!

I have some friends who ive been playing with the last couple weeks. I asked if they have ever been to Malevelon Creek. They said no. So i said...."its time to show you". We fought on the creek for 6 hours, and they now hate the robots as much as I do.

I just joined the ranks and keep hearing about this creek.

After staying solely in the battle for malevelon creek struggling and finally pushing back and winning we now have to retreat to help the bug boys squish there infestation. I ask where were all there troop when the creek needed defending and liberating. They fought the bugs the whole time only for them to push deeper toward super earth while so many brothers and sisters were slain at the creek. The casualties are uncountable, and the tragedy of pulling out of the war for the creek so close to victory, was undemocratic

This remix of the 28 days later theme was perfect for this video.

I see malevelon creek as the battle of verdun of the 2nd galactic war, but unlike the verdun in ww1 malevelon creek fell to the invaders and the defenders felt the emotional whiplash from it.

[@yourhonerableknight464]

I fought till I couldn't. I couldn't stand by reach had fallen years ago. I couldn't let the creek fall I had thought we failed. But we did what nobody could do and do the impossible we took back the creek like we couldn't take back reach we will push forward now For super earth for democracy!

[@MismagiusBunny]

My first step into that... Undemocratic place, was an unruly turn. It started easy! It was something that I was mildly surprised during my dive. Then. We were surrounded. Ship after ship. Robot after robot. We barely got out alive, we threw everything we had to get out.

[@LibertyJustice357]

My God soldier.. Truly you've stared death in the face and lived to tell the tell. I'd love an interview one day about your tour.

[@brostrod]

Robot Space Vietnam is all I can ask from a video game honestly

[@bugsy3209]

5:43. This is quite literally just.....dnd style video game.

[@BatJeff]

As soon as the video started talking about missions that suck with you, my first thought was "CURRENT OBJECTIVE: SURVIVE"

[@ac-ct4sl]

1:52 like button actually light up how did you do that

[@xrafter]

KZbin feature.

[@LyrelltheDark]

I missed this Battle for I have joined the Helldivers only two months ago. But I‘m looking forward to the time when we take the Creek back!

[@narm_greyrunner]

I enlisted too late to fight at the Creek.

[@BritBonBernard]

Two things a helldivers never forgot; "Save the Children" and "The fall of Malvelelon Creek"

[@thegamingkid6419]

gotta love that 28 days later theme, really hits deep

[@funtimewithfalco]

I experienced the same thing in halo reach, understand your pain and soon be joining you

[@marxel4444]

This must have been what the clones and the 501st felt when they were stuck on felucia. I still remember the entry of Battelfront 2 (2005)
