It can also backfire where everyone ends up outside the AO and fighting to to try and get back.

Kinda sucks that you have to cheese the mission like this. Hardly fun, but whatever. I'll just continue to avoid these like the plague.

Edit: It might be fun to try the cheese though. Anything that incorporates smokes as the strat seems interesting.

Smoke, smoke, and even more smoke.
Primary button boy carries smoke lots of it....keep it down near the mid point so the civs can run without getting totally slaughtered. (smoke breaks aim, and agro, ive had patrols walk right next to me and didnt even spot me....so close I was able to melee the first terminator before opening fire.

So the latest work around after many fails with my static group...>
Recon smoke - you are button push man

You other three, keep the Storm at bay, make sure the bots aggro you not him.

If you do this though you probably need the guy in an low visi suit and lots of smoke abilities to keep cover on the peeps and player hiding in the town.

That's exactly the point ! Smokes could be a good idea tho, but the point is to not call any stratagem, to keep stealth at the maximum !

tried it on 9, with 2 bait and 2 inside. Worked like a charm.

Was a bait... I'm having nightmare now.

hahaha ! I'm honeslty glad everyone has a strategy that is working !

Really feels like this is against the spirit of the game. Moreso than the complaints about super cred farmer. It's Payday 2 all over again (ok heavy armored players you stay at start with your thumb up your ass until I screw up the stealth then you can come bail me out and carry my now useless ass through the mission.)

That sounds like a fantastic way to express some DEMOCRACY though?

Seriously though, I always use three on the loud team myself. I recommend splitting up as much as possible because if a Bot Drop ends up on the objective it can mess up the whole mission.

If you ever played helldivers original, you know the game is not about killing everything. The only thing that matters, is completing objectives democraticaly. Jokes aside, the more you go up in difficulty, the less you can allow a fight to heppens on an objective.
The main target for us, is democracy, and everything is allowed to achieve our goal.
Eradication of the menace is what matters. The method is secondary.
I'll be forced to call the ministry of truth if anyone goes against this way of thinking.

In the end, I'm only open to any consistant and working strategy. In 400 hours, I've not seen anything works except than that.

True, Helldivers are tools to complete objectives, enemies are obstacles, if you can complete objectives without obstacles you should

But yet this feels unintended, along with how difficult this type of mission is

I see a lot of divers thinking like you. I honestly think that the devs wanted us to play this way. Some sort of "if you go full front brutal, you will lose. Think twice about what is really happening." They already made these missions easier. But it's still a nightmare to do it full force.

[Toothbrush Cheapwood]

If anyone find thos strategy usefull, please upvote the guide ! Democracy first !

You don't, the biggest mistake people make is not hitting doors when you land. Instead they waste time doing call ins and waiting for gear.

The second you land run to a door hit it. THEN call in. Since you need to wait for door to reset. When call in lands door would have reset.

Thats 18 people saved in first 15s of game.
