How do i raise a Flag?

[Gummi Doedel]

So i played my first mission and i didnt know what to do.
We liberated some buildings and my log said i should raise a flag. I know i did it in the tutorial but i really dont know where to go. my hud didnt say anything and my map didt either so i ran around confuse to where the game wanted me to be. and then the objective disappeared and i accedentally activated the extraction.
all i want to know is, where do i raise the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ flag?

Those missions have a stratagem that will call down a flag when you're in the right spot.

Not sure if it's me, but I have literally NEVER had an objective/side objective that involves raising a flag

For some reason that flag tutorial never shows up in the actual game. For that mission it's a mission specific Stratagem. The commander will mention it when you get close to the objective. Open your Stratagem menu and it'll be added to your list for things to call down.

I think it's only in really low difficulties.

Only time I saw that mission type was difficulty 2.

Same here. Been told it's a diff 1 only mission.

is the objective the purple circle on the map?

Yeah, cuz it's funnily enough more of an in-lore world building bit of storytelling than it is an actual mission.

It involves slowly raising a flag while a drone plays the Super Earth national anthem and also records both the flag and the Helldivers raising it. Yet it only shows up on the easiest difficulty of the game. Its soul purpose is to record propaganda to make being a Helldiver look like easy work in order to entice more recruits to join. On a game design level, it teaches you how to use mission-specific Stratagems.

It's a very nice touch.

If it were they'd have to remove the drone that records you lol. Can't have Helldiving look dangerous!

while the flag is rising kill 1 charger 1 bile and a bunch of fooder that the cam can record and then gets edited to make top tier propaganda XD

One other thing people didn't mention: After the flag stratagem drops, you have to stay within range of it for it to raise. If you run out of range, it stops (and I believe it even starts to retract back down).

Also you haveto salute the flag unless you want to be suspected for treason when you get back from the mission.

There's certain objectives in the game that require you to call down a "mission specific stratagem" in order to complete them.
