Is doing 2 out of 3 defence missions for an operation actually contributing to anything?

[LKAI]

A lot of quickplays I've joined haven't been doing all 3 missions. Host just leaves after two, so does that count as a failed operation instead?

Every time you finish a mission and see that exp bar go up you contribute to the major order.

Basically any exp your player receives , the war effort also receives. You don't need to finish every part of a campaign.

medals is the bonus for campaign

lvl 8 maps 7/10/12 I think

Is this confirmed? Or is it still based on what that community manager had said?

100% completion of operations is needed to make effect on the war effort

Ahhh no, absolutely not. XP has no effect on the war effort.

100% completion of operations is needed to make any difference in a liberation or defence campaign.

No, you need to play all 3 missions for contribution to be counted.
You have sum up screen at the end so you see what happens if 1 fails.

So it is pointless to do only two missions out of three....

Bro you're wrong on so many lvls it's funny
Planet liberation literally correlates to the amount xp you get, as stated by devs recently
And you def get that sweet contribution after every mission, not after the whole op
Making your text bold and underlined doesn't make it any more true lmao

[LKAI]

So when you get between 3-6 (depending on difficulty) for squad impact at the end of an operation, you are getting 1/2 squad impact for each mission even if that doesn't show up after a mission?
You can get 14/15 stars on hell dive or 9/15 stars and get the same squad impact doesn't that mean XP earned is irrelevant?

[Catteus Of Mars]

im sure im not only one booting game after every mission... you doing one mission in my lobby does indeed help as i will finish the other 2 with other random people ;D

your wrong you need to do do all the missions to get it to count the devs themselfe have said so .

[LKAI]

It's not that im getting kicked, the host is leaving when we are back on their ship (I get it the civilian evac mission is a chore) if it selected a new host from the remaining squad instead, like it does planet side, then we could all continue on the operation.

[Hand's Hermit Permit]

You have to do the whole operation. Doing 2/3 does nothing.

If you're not the host you just have to trust that the host actually completes the operation.

When the host leaves/crashes in the middle of the game, only then does the game count standalone mission contribution, since the host left with all the operation progress.

Your comment triggered a investigation on my part. I did some searches, read all the patch notes, checked the FAQs, the wiki and the official Discord and watched a couple of videos.

"XP counts towards planet defence and liberation progress." is a fan hypothesis (stated as much), posted in one place only the Helldivers.io website. As far as I can tell the devs have never made an announcement stating as much, many people have tested this in a variety of ways, myself included and it is simply not true.

Operation difficulty and completion of operations is the only metric that makes a positive contribution to the galactic war. Individual missions add up to a total contribution but only apply if said operation is completed.
It is stated as such in game by the way.

Care to provide any evidence that liberation is equal to XP earned?

[LKAI]

Ok so xp earned does effect it, you still need to complete an operation to get any impact on the liberation/defence score but the more xp earned throughout the operation increases the overall squad impact. Don't earn enough and you will get only 3 sqaud impact even from a difficulty 8/9 operation.

There is a screen that comes up at the end of every mission to show how much the mission contributed to the war effort; that's the end of it.
