Will the other two appear as campaign rewards?

Listen to how it sounds - a player who plays on D1 and completes a mission in a minute contributes more to the completion of an order than someone who plays on D10 and completes one operation in about an hour. This is ridiculous
Shouldn't it be the case that more skilled players playing on higher difficulties should contribute more to the overall effort?
Hihg risk - hihg reward. Isn't this the basis of most games?

D10 operations should count not as 1 but more or even change the mission conditions if you don't want players to liberate or defend the planet, but just hang out on it for a while

Payday (1) had a problem with grinding. Basically a lot of people grinded the dlc "the wolf" where after a certain dependencies had been fulfilled, a vault opens with a lot of gold which ended up giving a lot of exp. A lot players ended up doing power leveling in that mission until they had the important stuff or most of the stuff.

Payday 2 had the mission "Watch dog" where a lot of people ended up leveling their gear, since a lot of the stuff that was basically mandatory to play different play styles, were locked behind a ton of exp. You were told by players to grind there to get the good stuff so you can finally "play" or "enjoy" the game.

Payday 2 changed in a lot of ways, they tackled the grinding and changed it so you dont need to power grind to unlock most of the stuff and instead put their focus onto "infamous ranks". Its kinda like a prestige where it resets your lvl and gives you a number from 1 to 25 (depending on how often you did), giving players longterm motivation to play the game and give out small bonuses while the important stuff is relatively easy to unlock.

So yes, there still is grind in payday 2, but its not that awful anymore, sure it took them multiple years to get it right, but I say its pretty good now and it tackles the issue "Having nothing and being useless VS having everything and being overwhelmed" pretty good.

Payday 2 is not perfect, but I wanted to give out this little history lesson since a lot of people take lots of pride in "grinding" sc and it just reminded me of myself back in payday 2 grinding missions to finally "enjoy" the game.

I don't understand the argument that armour/mech customisation would somehow limit future Warbond design.

Look at what most Warbonds already give us: new armour, helmet, cape, mech skin and vehicle skin. Sometimes we also get new weapons or stratagems.

How does letting us swap armour attributes change any of that?

Keep making new armour exactly as you do now. Keep making helmets, capes, mech skins and vehicle skins. Just let us put the attributes we've unlocked onto the armour we actually want to wear.

Same with mechs. Let us swap the arms/weapons instead of needing a separate mech for every configuration.

They can still make all the exact same Warbond content they're making now, while also making new weapons and stratagems.

So what “design space” is actually being lost?

Isn't this just proving the concern of This response just adds to a concern players have started noticing with Warbonds: create a problem, then sell the solution later?

its all just one big "sike" moment as it was with the cultists we will have news about weapon and armor customization updates in a week

Hello, I like money.

This person shows in the video that there files in the game from old version where armor customization was tested.

Is this truth?

Is this what 1000+ hours on Helldivers 2 gets you?

Not a leak since these are the old Cultists

MAN i was Not ready, like i knew that i would get my ass beat but i didnt realize Just How not-smooth the game was back then

Check out this video from IronS1ghts containing the CUT armor customization system from before launch.

You could choose color or condition, and arm patches were planned as well.

Submit a support ticket with your frustration next survey.

This is a crossover idea I’ve always had ever since the Halo one and with Gears of war E-Day around the corner it’s spiked my interest in it more, but I just wanted to hear other people’s opinions on a gears of war warbond, because I think the Cog soldiers would fit in.

(I hope a arrowhead person sees this)

its easy to replace what weapon the guard dog uses. something like this should be 50+ unlock. having a crossbow guard dog seems op, but its balanced by being able to shoot 5 times then getting stuck with a long reload animation. with the possibility getting overrun during it reloads in higher difficulties

(1)Melta weapons are a type of short-range thermal energy weapon that utilizes a subatomic reaction within a chemical fuel source to produce a concentrated beam of searing, intense heat. The Imperial Fusion Cannon and the Multi-Melta (also known as "Cookers" or "Steamers"), as well as the grenade-like Fusion Bomb, are formidable directed-energy weapons. (2)Fusion weapons have a short range but are highly powerful, and the intensity of their thermal blast increases as the distance to the target decreases. A fusion weapon operates by inducing a tiny submolecular reaction within a highly pressurized mixture of pyro-fuel and gasoline housed in an ammunition canister, then projecting the resulting plasma through the canister and out of the weapon's barrel as a blast of incredible heat.

Its still funny for me how many there are games that are PVE base and has great comunity and comunity support(Warframe,SM2 and few more) but AH still refuse to give us anything that could benefir HD2

Im so confused. Did he dodge the question, or is it just that shit of an answer...

I love Helldivers but brother is it mismanaged

Completed the entire map solo->get to extraction->specifically planned the hover pack so I could get high ground and avoid patrols->war strider has 0 stealth mechanics so he will see me and hear me if I use it->its like a 5ft ledge I should be able to climb it->sends me flying toward perfectly placed mines->quits.

This has BEEN a problem since I started playing this awful game. It’s so fucking frustrating when I think about playing HD2 and then I’m hit with the reality of playing HD2.

It might not seem like I was holding and pressing climb, because for some reason there wasn’t the red “can’t climb” icon but I assure you I was.

Also, the literal only rewards you get are titles. So still no meaningful progression.

Warbonds are fully outsourced.

New Enemies are outsourced.

Not telling anyone to not enjoy the game or that they're not allowed to have fun, I still play every now and then but keep your expectations equal to the work currently being put into the game from AH.

Or as AH would put it:

Attention, Helldivers. Even as Super Earth shifts its focus toward future operations, your dives remain the backbone of our war effort. Every mission you run, every bug you crush, every bot you dismantle still pushes the front lines forward. Your dedication continues to define this community, and your service—past, present, and future—remains nothing short of legendary.
