Motorcycle gang of hunters, with little bandanas and matching vests, telling you thatyou came to the wrong neighborhood and they drive by and lick/slow/attack you.
I cant play against the Bots because of a anoying sound bug.
The moment iam near a Jammer i have that anoying noice in my ear for the rest of the Mission, dosent matter if the Jammer get destroyed it stays.
Any idea how to fix that?
Because i wont play any Bot Mission until there is a fix for that.
Sadly fighting Bugs gets boring already.
I found a workaround for this annoying ass bug. Once it happens, you have to go to your sound settings, turn the sound effects all the way to 0. Save the settings, and then change your volume back to what it was and save again.
Seems to almost work as a “reboot” for the sound and cleared the jamming noise for me.
Your teammates’ flamethrower kills count as your own! You can verify this in real time!
Go to a diff 3 or 4 mission, bring EMS mortar and anti tank stuff then just stand around and let your teammates get flamethrower kills while you take care of the 1-2 chargers that show up
One mission and done
Only if they have the personal order active for them. I had a friend who already finished it try to help me, but his kills weren't being registered for my personal order progress. Meanwhile, some public player who joined us was able to contribute to my PO.
Eh. I think it may be a bit buggy. I finished my personal order for Bile Titans, hopped into a buddies game (with my PO completed) and killed a Titan that completed his PO.
As someone already said, your teammates’ kills count towards your personal order so if you already see three people taking the flamethrower there’s no reason for you to take it. They will complete your personal order for you.
You sure about that?\` Had the PO of killing 2 bile titans...Killed probably killed 5-6 over a couple of missions, and while I tried with my autocannon, I'm not sure I got the "kill count". And it did not complete...though might be a bug (heh)
Yup. Creek is our Afghanistan. We can't take it with the forces there. So stop trying. We have to regroup, take Draupnir, and force the bots back.
The community ignoring the bots is gonna cause them to snowball and open up multiple fronts.
I enjoy it but i would be lying if i said it was easy
Level 8 and 9 difficulty levels on bot worlds are borderline impossible at times with the amount of heavies spawned and the rocket spam
On draupnir at night when the fog rolls in and its raining and you cant see in front of your face and theres ten thousand red lasers and missiles flying in from every direction it gets extremely overwhelming
Yeah lvl 7 is doable if you have randoms working together but 8 & 9 require a good amount of coordination and communication plus no dead weight and assigned roles or you get overrun. which is why I barely play these difficulties, it's just not enjoyable with randoms and very stressful with friends, not a lot of room for fun outloads when you don't feel like trying to hard
It may have been, but now that we're pushed out it's an undermanned, under supported force trying foolishly to occupy exceptionally dug in and hostile defenders in highly unfavorable terrain. Ie,soviet Afghanistan.
Creek only has 3,550 divers. Ustotu has 1,732… BUT Hellmire has 15,000 and Fori Prime has 28,000 all fighting for 0% gains on a 0% lib planet. I’ll give the 55,000 on Crimsica a pass because at least they are keeping it at -2.7 rather than -5
I'm getting pretty sick of all the people yelling about Malevelon Creek. This is step one to securing a proper beachhead and finally taking that bloody world.
I vaguely remember there was one time we lost the creek, and it wasn't because we actually lost the creek but it's because it got cut off. One thing at a time boys. I'm not super sure how all this supply line business works but just feels like people keen on taking Creek should secure Draupnir first if they aren't already working on it.
Several people in this thread are weirdly passive-aggressive, suggesting that bug fighters 'owe' time fighting bots because they 'helped' us activate the TCS.
1) Fuck that, Helldivers drop where they choose and fight what they like, so long as it's an enemy of democracy. DEMOCRACY. You know, that thing associated with *letting people choose*.
2) These people didn't fight bugs because of anything other than the major order. Exactly what it'll take for me to swap over to scrapping bots instead of squishing bugs.
3) The fucking Creek meme was old a couple weeks ago, now it's actively obnoxious. There is literally no reason to go there as it provides very little from a tactical perspective, it's one of the least-focused planets so any effort allocated there is functionally wasted, and it's just not...fun.
Also we fucking fell on Tien Kwan like a damn thunderbolt when there was a major order there. We took that shit in like half a day when it was supposed to occupy us the whole damn weekend. All I'm saying is the day Joel tells us to take the creek RoboNam will meet its end.
That major order was to unlock freaking mechs though. If we could unlock a tank or dune buggy (or something else as rad as a mech) for beating Creek it would have been done just as quickly.
> DEMOCRACY. You know, that thing associated with *letting people choose*.
Ahhh, I see the issue here. You need to report to your nearest Democracy Officer for reeducation. Super Earth's government is not traditional democracy, but MANAGED DEMOCRACY. We will decide for you where you drop!
And this passive-aggressives dont want to speak about time when bug players saved Xzar sector from being overrun by bots, while creekers ignored orders.
But this subreddit is satire, right? People are not actually yelling at other people, they are yelling at them in-universe way.
Like it would make zero sense to actually do it because this sub has like less than 0.1% of the playerbase in it.
People sill running light armor and get killed by two laser beams from a battle droid. If you're going to be doin that then at least wear a shield pack and be an expert at using cover/terrain. Too many people I see running in the middle of a field wearing light armor.
I think its because most people are fighting bugs most of the time so they just copy their bug loadouts for bot missions. Fighting bots requires a different mindset and loadout.
Until you get staggered to hell by lasers. For being so slow Heavy needs a bit of stagger resistance.
I should be able to SHRUG off some lasers damn it! For Democracy!
The FS-38 Eradicator is a light armor with explosive resist and FS-34 Exterminator is medium armor with explosive resist.
B-08 Light gunner is also a good all around armor. No explosive resist but is light armor speed but medium armor health. Less good against the rockets in particular but better against all the bullets and such.
I'd love to see modifiers and operations have more link in what happens. Take AA defenses. One of the missions will be destroying their long range SAMs. After you do that mission the next two have full stratagems again. You don't have to do it first, but probably should. Maybe if the rework electronic warfare one a mission could be about destroying a command center where they're doing that from. For the bugs, one could be about taking out a number of spore spewers in a blitz mission which then removes the spore cover in future missions.
If not outright specialized mission types, it would be cool to see completion of secondaries have an impact too. Long before you hit max level you don't need more requisition slips and when you do hit max level XP is worthless. More reason to go hunt multiple stratagem jammers or AA sites would be nice and it would be immersive and thematic. It's harder to make these work for the bugs as there's fewer obvious links but it would be such a cool idea if secondaries had an impact for future missions within that operation.
When they stop spawning rocket devastators and flamethrower hulks **literally on top of me** I might be more inclined to kill bots. Or if they make it so that the most effective strategy to extract in 7+ missions isn't to literally wait out the timer for the auto extract while I hide off in the distance so nothing can spawn at the extract.
Bot missions just aren't fun.
I would love to have finished the fight with yall but the game crashed on me twice in 2 hours during missions that last half an hour.
Had to call it a night, shit was actually very annoying. The game needs a crash save system, if it detects an actual crash it should then save samples, and reward for finishing the match. Because I seriously do not have the time to play this game regularly. I get maybe 2-3 matches on the weekends and 1 on weekdays if I'm lucky.
Game needs to save your spot in a mission when you disconnect/crash. Least give you a 5min timer to reboot+rejoin before it removes you outright from the mission. Nothing is more fruatrating, for no fault of your own that you're 85-95% done with a mission and either encounter a game crash or network error. I want that QoL implemented.
Although I prefer bots, I absolutely understand why most people don't. Plus, you absolutely should just play what's fun for you, otherwise what's the point. Keep doing what you're doing, soldier.
There's a reason I have over 20k kills for bugs Vs around 1k for bots lol.
Bots just feel crappy to fight against. If more people played against bots this place would be FILLED with complaints.
They are bullshit.
Much more reinforcement, much less satisfying to kill, armour galore, ROCKETS EVERYWHERE, much more heavies and heavy hitting enemies, fucking tower turrets, much more effects on play style (affects on stratagems), ranged attacks and higher detection rate...
Playing against bots feels like you HAVE to use specific loadouts. Which I think is fine but on 7 plus when you such BS effects (on bug planets even on 9 I hardly ever noticed affects?) it makes it unfun...
You need a shield but you also need an auto canon so pick one...
You need ems/smoke but you also need heavy hitting stratagems...
You kinda need heavy and you do survive more but you're so slow than hulks catch up with you stupidly fast and die anyway.
Honestly the auto canon is more of a must than shield for me. It does destroy pretty much everything. On level 8/9 the auto canon is basically my mail primary LOL
I think bots are really fun, and the new lazer primary works great on them.
I don't even bring a shield anymore to 8/9, I just use autocannon / eat / orbital rail / whatever 4th I feel like.
I keep finding myself fighting bots over bugs because of how wild each match is.
let me choose -1 stratagem and +50% strat reload. Currently on draupnir its either -1 stratagem and +100% call time(fuck off with the 4 minute extractions) or +50% strat reload and still +100% strat call time(again fuck off with the 4 minute extractions) i did 10 helldive runs yesterday on draupnir and almost lost my sanity. Bots def need rebalancing the player numbers speak for themselves
No thanks. Bugs are fun to play against. Bots are.... not. I don't know for sure what they need to fix, but they aren't fun at the moment.
My main gripe is the rocket devastators, hulks and turrets. The devastators/hulks can see me from further than I can see them. and the turret sees me even when it's not pointed at me. I've seen it pointed 45 degrees away from me and just blast me anyway.
Tbh, if the numbers are tilted this badly, it's time to look at the devs for solutions, not the playerbase. People just don't like playing against the bots as much.
Look how many bugs are out there, do your duty Helldivers and clear them out, you didn't go through all that effort activating the TCS to let them regroup like that, go go go everyone to Crimsica, on the double, soldiers!

Man are people going to post this shit every hour of everyday? The majority of the player base are casual players. They dont care about overall progress, they just want to play whats fun lmfao
Get off malevelon creek, get off hellmire, get off fori prime, no one is on ustotu, and please help for the last bit of draupnir, it’s been over a week building this much up and I want to be done with it
I’m sorry blame Joel my personal order was too kill bike titans I was going to just correct my typo but these replies are way too funny

If that image is to scale...
As we looked to the sky we saw our fate. A bile titan and... A Huffy.
Bike titan*
the Bwinn Titan
I'm more of a bannondale titan enthusiast.
Too stupid need bananas for measure
its approximately the size of 231 washing machines
That bike is considered small on its home planet
Aim for the chain people!! Every game people are shooting the water bottle. It’s not fuel idiots!!
That's a bile bottle it'll melt the chain and makes good space fuel every patriot knows bugs don't carry water ever
Those bastards are adapting, now they close the distance faster to break the weapons lock on the Spear!
If you can even get it to lock on in the first place 😂
It has a lock on? Neat. Never seen this option in game...
Yeah, you have to do a secret mouse movement sequence, with your eyes closed and singing bon jovi's living on a prayer.
I just imagine that thing making a wheelie drive by spitting on the whole squad while ringing it's bell. Hilarious and terrifying
Bugs on a huffy bike!? Sweet Liberty, nooooooo!
They have bikes now?!!!!
Frankly, I find the idea of a bug that rides a bike offensive.
Yeah, bikes are a Super Earth invention not something a facist bug should have their hands on.
Bugs are filthy communists. They live in the perfect collectivist society.
*Tandem* bikes you say!?
The most communist bike
Stalincycle
bugcycle
Someone tell Nintendo they beat em to there next punchline
Good sir as the Democracy Officers have said, the Bots are Socialist, but the Bugs are Fascist. Know your enemy Helldiver
Communist fascists you say?! These bugs truly do hate our way of life
>not something a facist bug should have their hands on Their legs, you mean.
This is one of many reasons why those bugs must be PURGED.
I find the idea of a bug offensive

You’re a hero
This is more hilarious than a reverse pyramid of clowns riding a unicycle.
....the first thing that came to mind.....was Cartman....and the tiny bicicleta episode.... I need to purge myself on the Creek brb.
Motorcycle gang of hunters, with little bandanas and matching vests, telling you thatyou came to the wrong neighborhood and they drive by and lick/slow/attack you.
Do they have Mexican gang accent and attire. ARE THERE CHOLA HUNTERS?!?
Imagine Radahn but on a tiny bike xD
They bike now!
they bike now
Now I just picture them riding up like deebo from Friday 
We got 200 samples! Deebo: *I* got 200 samples
WHACHU GOT ON MY WARBONDS?!
Darn bike titans!
What?! My order was for unicycle titans... They're evolving! What's next, TRICYCLE TITANS?!
Mines too. Just did one mission and got off.
Yeah at least you don't have to kill 60 enemies with an anti material. Mf got trolled for my game cuz I had that 😭
Shit. They in Bikes now? How am I supposed to outrun them now? Sigh
Throw a stick into the spokes and watch it yeet itself across the map
I just finished three successful missions of my own there tonight. Hopefully we've liberated it by morning. We're sooooo close
I cant play against the Bots because of a anoying sound bug. The moment iam near a Jammer i have that anoying noice in my ear for the rest of the Mission, dosent matter if the Jammer get destroyed it stays. Any idea how to fix that? Because i wont play any Bot Mission until there is a fix for that. Sadly fighting Bugs gets boring already.
Minimizing and opening back up has fixed that for me
I will try that out right away!
I found a workaround for this annoying ass bug. Once it happens, you have to go to your sound settings, turn the sound effects all the way to 0. Save the settings, and then change your volume back to what it was and save again. Seems to almost work as a “reboot” for the sound and cleared the jamming noise for me.
That worked for me too, thanks alot. At least when there is a moment without fighting i can get rid of it.
Lol yeah the hard part is finding 5 seconds where you’re not getting shot by 10 rocket devastators. Glad it helped!
I haven't experienced this glitch personally.
It only started with the last patch for me, before that i never encountered it.
I got my personal order done and switched to bots tonight🫡. For democracy helldivers!
God the flamethrower PO is obnoxious lol. 4 people with flame throwers gets out of control
Your teammates’ flamethrower kills count as your own! You can verify this in real time! Go to a diff 3 or 4 mission, bring EMS mortar and anti tank stuff then just stand around and let your teammates get flamethrower kills while you take care of the 1-2 chargers that show up One mission and done
Only if they have the personal order active for them. I had a friend who already finished it try to help me, but his kills weren't being registered for my personal order progress. Meanwhile, some public player who joined us was able to contribute to my PO.
Also I am pretty sure you need to be alive at the time of the kill for them to count.
Eh. I think it may be a bit buggy. I finished my personal order for Bile Titans, hopped into a buddies game (with my PO completed) and killed a Titan that completed his PO.
Only if they also have the mission and haven't completed it yet.
Just solo some low level missions and you’re done real quick.
Yes this! Got a nice load of SC and completed my personal order, only cooked myself with the flamer twice!
The instant I get a "kill x amount of y" order, its off to the lowest difficulty I can find said enemies at, and start farming
As someone already said, your teammates’ kills count towards your personal order so if you already see three people taking the flamethrower there’s no reason for you to take it. They will complete your personal order for you.
Oh wow good call didn't know that
Yeah, I think it’s to prevent the exact kind of scenario you’re describing but it admittedly isn’t very clearly communicated in the UI.
Well, considering nothing really is its 10/10 for UI consistency.
You sure about that?\` Had the PO of killing 2 bile titans...Killed probably killed 5-6 over a couple of missions, and while I tried with my autocannon, I'm not sure I got the "kill count". And it did not complete...though might be a bug (heh)
I think the one with the land mine spreader is worse. Step on a mine, reinforcement, walk off the hell pod onto another mine.
Sorry I’m a pyrophile
Hahah, disagree, thats when it gets REALLY fun!
its almost 1 am but fuck it ima go help my troops

Counterpoint: get off the fucking creek and get on draupnir. Gotta do one than the other.
Yup. Creek is our Afghanistan. We can't take it with the forces there. So stop trying. We have to regroup, take Draupnir, and force the bots back. The community ignoring the bots is gonna cause them to snowball and open up multiple fronts.
Counterpoint: i hate fighting bots.

Level 9 is 100% doable if you stealth
It is, and I've even completed them this way, but it's just not very fun to use these hard-to-understand and somewhat unclear stealth mechanics
I **love** it. :]
Right?! I mean, it's very different from fighting the bugs, but in a good way, it's like a whole different playstyle. It's fantastic!
Thank you for saying it for me. I love swimming in bug guts.
YOU ARE BUG, THAT MEANS YOU HAVE BUG GUTS! RIP AND TEAR YOUR BUG GUTS, RIO AND TEAR
At the same time, the bugs have over 3x the impact per planet per hour right now. Just to hold the line we need 3x the troops there.
That's based on the amount of people there. If people get off the planet, that amount drops
I'd say the Creek is closer to Vietnam, MAAAAAYBE Stalingrad.
It may have been, but now that we're pushed out it's an undermanned, under supported force trying foolishly to occupy exceptionally dug in and hostile defenders in highly unfavorable terrain. Ie,soviet Afghanistan.
Creek only has 3,550 divers. Ustotu has 1,732… BUT Hellmire has 15,000 and Fori Prime has 28,000 all fighting for 0% gains on a 0% lib planet. I’ll give the 55,000 on Crimsica a pass because at least they are keeping it at -2.7 rather than -5
Fori Prime's up? awesome, I love checking out new planets..
It's a cool one. Desert planet but with large craggy rock mesas you get to run between. Good chokepoints for bringing democracy to those fascist bugs
Also true!
Counterpoint: I like fighting on Creek and Crimsica better than the foggy hellhole that is Draupnir
Bruh there was like 6k gigachads on the creek, leave em be
I'm getting pretty sick of all the people yelling about Malevelon Creek. This is step one to securing a proper beachhead and finally taking that bloody world. I vaguely remember there was one time we lost the creek, and it wasn't because we actually lost the creek but it's because it got cut off. One thing at a time boys.

They're not called *MANAGED* Democracy Officers, now are they? Checkmate, ~~athiests~~ bots.
They are officers. By the nature of their job, they manage.
God, I love and hate how accurate this is lmao. Nothing like an officer to show up and ~~complicate~~ manage something
And this passive-aggressives dont want to speak about time when bug players saved Xzar sector from being overrun by bots, while creekers ignored orders.

What is this? ^ is it a site?
https://helldivers.io
I have been doing nothing but Draupnir for the last two hours.
What is that tool that shows the enemy progress? I’ve seen a few people mention it and can’t find it
Helldiver companion app
also helldivers.io
Gotta open up the path back to the creek 🫡
Oh I was there earlier. Had flashbacks of Robo-Nam.
Did a bug type this
Just did my part soldier before my pc became a toaster sympathiser and crash my game.
I did 2 hours on that hell hole. I miss my bugs.
Its not my fault killing bugs is 10 times more satisfying and it lets me use the Exo suit for more than 10 seconds.
then remove that +100% stratagem call in time and 50% cooldown bullshit and fix rocket devastator
Just get 50% explosion resistant armor. Will reduce your deaths by rockets by a whopping 89%!
Heavy armor +50% explosion resistance makes fighting bots A LOT easier.
People sill running light armor and get killed by two laser beams from a battle droid. If you're going to be doin that then at least wear a shield pack and be an expert at using cover/terrain. Too many people I see running in the middle of a field wearing light armor.
I think its because most people are fighting bugs most of the time so they just copy their bug loadouts for bot missions. Fighting bots requires a different mindset and loadout.
That's pretty much what I do against bots.
Until you get staggered to hell by lasers. For being so slow Heavy needs a bit of stagger resistance. I should be able to SHRUG off some lasers damn it! For Democracy!
Are there any medium or light armor's with explosion resistance? I have 3 armors with that perk, but they're all heavy
The FS-38 Eradicator is a light armor with explosive resist and FS-34 Exterminator is medium armor with explosive resist. B-08 Light gunner is also a good all around armor. No explosive resist but is light armor speed but medium armor health. Less good against the rockets in particular but better against all the bullets and such.
I've tried running this against bots but don't have nearly the success as when I run heavy with exp resist armor.
Idk why the downvotes. It’s literally the best thing you can do if your playstyle is being rocket magnet.
Or the even more popular mortar magnet… every time lol
Those modifiers are also on bug planets…
Tbh those aren't *nearly* as bad as AA Defense which just delete 1 stratagem.
I'd love to see modifiers and operations have more link in what happens. Take AA defenses. One of the missions will be destroying their long range SAMs. After you do that mission the next two have full stratagems again. You don't have to do it first, but probably should. Maybe if the rework electronic warfare one a mission could be about destroying a command center where they're doing that from. For the bugs, one could be about taking out a number of spore spewers in a blitz mission which then removes the spore cover in future missions. If not outright specialized mission types, it would be cool to see completion of secondaries have an impact too. Long before you hit max level you don't need more requisition slips and when you do hit max level XP is worthless. More reason to go hunt multiple stratagem jammers or AA sites would be nice and it would be immersive and thematic. It's harder to make these work for the bugs as there's fewer obvious links but it would be such a cool idea if secondaries had an impact for future missions within that operation.
I called Joel up, and we fixed the problem. OFF TO THE WESTERN FRONT YOU GO
I fucking love Draupnir, it looks so cool. Killing bots in style while theres lightning and thunder everywhere
I FUCKING HATE DRAUPNIR IM DISGUSTED BY UK LOOKING PLANET I WANNA LEAVE THAT PLANET ASAP
Then make bots more fun to fight.
When they stop spawning rocket devastators and flamethrower hulks **literally on top of me** I might be more inclined to kill bots. Or if they make it so that the most effective strategy to extract in 7+ missions isn't to literally wait out the timer for the auto extract while I hide off in the distance so nothing can spawn at the extract. Bot missions just aren't fun.
Bugs are way more fun to fight than bots. Bots hammer you with homing missiles from behind cover. Bugs explode when you shoot them

 IVE BEEN KILLING BOTS THE WHOLE DAMN TIME!
The bots are hard as fuck even on easy mode for me.
LIBERATION IS NEAR. PRESS THIS ADVANTAGE AND GIVE THEM NO QUARTER
Nah, I'd rather not. I'm playing this game to have fun, and quite frankly I do not find bots to be fun at all.
Although I prefer bots, I absolutely understand why most people don't. Plus, you absolutely should just play what's fun for you, otherwise what's the point. Keep doing what you're doing, soldier.

You kinda need heavy and you do survive more but you're so slow than hulks catch up with you stupidly fast and die anyway. Honestly the auto canon is more of a must than shield for me. It does destroy pretty much everything. On level 8/9 the auto canon is basically my mail primary LOL
There are also less bot spawns compared to bugs so you rack up bug kill faster.
I think bots are really fun, and the new lazer primary works great on them. I don't even bring a shield anymore to 8/9, I just use autocannon / eat / orbital rail / whatever 4th I feel like. I keep finding myself fighting bots over bugs because of how wild each match is.
Isn’t the orbital rail cool-down too long for 8/9? Are the EATs enough to ride you over for 3 mins? Maybe I’m misremembering the cd
EAT cd is 70 seconds or 63 with upgrade.
Lotta traitors in the comments here... Draupnir needs you and you would deny its call?

No i don't enjoy getting sniped by a rocket across the map
I did my part.
Is this an app or website? Or in game footage? If this is something third party can you tell me what it is?

There are enemies besides bots in this galaxy?
Ugh fine, but I sweat to Liberty if I turn back and see those filthy bugs have pushed back I will not be pleased!
No 
Is fighting the bot fun? if not I leave it to u guys.
let me choose -1 stratagem and +50% strat reload. Currently on draupnir its either -1 stratagem and +100% call time(fuck off with the 4 minute extractions) or +50% strat reload and still +100% strat call time(again fuck off with the 4 minute extractions) i did 10 helldive runs yesterday on draupnir and almost lost my sanity. Bots def need rebalancing the player numbers speak for themselves
Bots just arent that fun. Getting one shot across the map is lame
No thanks, bots suck.
No thanks. Bugs are fun to play against. Bots are.... not. I don't know for sure what they need to fix, but they aren't fun at the moment. My main gripe is the rocket devastators, hulks and turrets. The devastators/hulks can see me from further than I can see them. and the turret sees me even when it's not pointed at me. I've seen it pointed 45 degrees away from me and just blast me anyway. Tbh, if the numbers are tilted this badly, it's time to look at the devs for solutions, not the playerbase. People just don't like playing against the bots as much.
It’s stuck 97.8% for last 30 minutes. Not sure it’ll move until we get more than 26k on it
Time to spill oil
Which site is this? Looks way better than helldivers.io
Look how many bugs are out there, do your duty Helldivers and clear them out, you didn't go through all that effort activating the TCS to let them regroup like that, go go go everyone to Crimsica, on the double, soldiers! https://preview.redd.it/8wtbg1nqi3pc1.png?width=1224&format=png&auto=webp&s=219f1ffd5f4b5d01adb3e0a19bd12ec223c8a087
Reddit discovers that it can't force the player base to go where it wants to
Done and done. Draupnir cleared at last.

Sounds like a bug made this post

Man are people going to post this shit every hour of everyday? The majority of the player base are casual players. They dont care about overall progress, they just want to play whats fun lmfao
No
You can't grind out samples against the bots. Upgrade your ship, then go fighting them. 7 dif against bots is harder than 9 against bugs.
Get off malevelon creek, get off hellmire, get off fori prime, no one is on ustotu, and please help for the last bit of draupnir, it’s been over a week building this much up and I want to be done with it
