I dont get it

[EightEs]

So there is this major threat we have to fight, the illuminate and everything new we get are a bunch of tuned celebration and parade rifles with a flag glued to a stick? Also i dont get the Major Order Thing. The last major orders all failed? Do i do something wrong? Is it supposed to be this way? I honestly dont see the stratagy behind all this. Super Earth is on the brink of getting destroyed and we dont get good weapons, nor stratagems and the big ship got partly destroyed... what is going on?

I don't get it either. Arrowhead needs to communicate their MOs better.

Major orders are community wide, a single individual can do very little to effect them (you should still do your part off course, but don't expect your efforts alone to make much of a difference).

The current major order is pretty much set up to fail and a invasion of earth seems unavoidable (Losing is sometimes part of the story). At most the efforts people put in now seems to weaken the enemy fleet (the damage likely carrying over to the next stage).

Note that the major orders are (lore wise) given by super earth and super earth uses a lot of propaganda, so don't assume honesty in the major orders (it might just be propaganda or even politically motivated, super earth politics that is, not real world politics).

To start, the warbond is effectively a reference to Halo 2 (Celerbrations interrupted by a alien fleet), with the helldivers getting their parade gear out after "Wiping out" the illumate for the second time in their eyes

in terms of the Major Orders, they are the community's collective efforts (So your contribution, as well as mine & everyone else's is recommended, but we must focus on the right targets in the MOs)

And in terms of the last bit
Currently the DSS is disabled after we ignored a warning (The game told us the squids had anti DSS measures in place, community voted to send it back into the meat grinder, it got hit by said anti DSS measures), in terms of the warbond the grenade & rifle are both quite nice (M2 amendment does VERY well against any target it can damage (Devastors, overseers, etc) and has a bayonet + burst fire to encourage closer ranged fights + knight level DPS & some good breakpoints), the grenade does a decent bit of inc damage as it spins around before the grand kaboom, finally super earth ain't on the brink of destruction, that is undemocratic of you, Now begin ready to vote at super earth with your bullets, plasma and so on.

Yeah true its pretty annoying we get nothing new to defend again the last line of defence that make zero sense and 3 days to defend a planet cmon
