I was on my super destroyer the other night and one of the officers on my ship said something along the lines of "With the use of this dark fluid, we can finally punch a permanent hole in Meridian, thanks to the leftover dark fluid we found from the illuminates...good thing they're all dead, haha..."

[ANIMEniacReview]

Our issue was level 4 testing, 80 birds appeared in the air as you tried to extract. No nest, just spawned and endless waves. This mission from start to finish doesn't let up!

[infinitekarma]

Tips for anyone struggling on the new mission:
• Crowd control and fast-response AT is key
• Some stratagems/weapons I would personally recommend are:
- Orbital/mortar EMS
- Gas strike
- Gatling sentry
- Flamethrowers
- Incendiary or stun grenades
- EAT/RR
- Railcannon or eagle rocket pods
• The drill does take friendly fire so be careful with any eagles or orbitals you use
• The dark fluid container (backpack) can be used as a jump pack, but I’ve heard it will explode if used too many times

I’m Lvl 126 and have beat the mission several times now on Helldive with various groups of randoms. If I can do it with randoms, then so can you. Happy diving everyone! :)

[Rizzn]

The dark fluid mission is borderline impossible, though. I don't mind a harder mission and I don't mind suicide missions with tons of shriekers and stuff, but man, this is just plain bullshit. Bugs spawning below the drill, mission objectives floating in the air and way too many bugs even on trivial difficulty? I call bullshit on that one.

[CoryDAnimates]

I like that the devs are providing hints in status reports on places like Heeth that we should focus on it to keep a status boon of the training facility.

[Nope-dmuv]

If you guys missed it, the darkfluid backpack acts as a jetpack just better. Flighs higher and recharges faster. Personally, i think it should be the default jetpack

[FrostyFrodo]

I didn't realize the new mission was so damn hard. Loaded up on a level 8 dark fluid mission expecting a decent challenge, was met with Hellmire-level traumatic experiences.

We successfully completed our mission, but we barely extracted with our lives.

Liberty guide you, Helldivers.

[EdenKross]

we had 3 on helldive, each of us killed ~1000 and narrowly completed the mission with 2 seconds left - disgraceful conduct it said 😢

[dapperdanman]

New major order is going to result in a mini black hole where meridia is!!!

[ASMRCIGARS]

Anyone else completing the new mission just to be shown only 1/2 objectives completed. Mission still gets marked as completed 🤷🏻‍♂️

[ottovonbismarck]

Ngl, that thumbnail armor with white markings instead of yellow goes hard

[spaceman_spiph]

I dont mind a mission being difficult, if its FAIR. With the current balancing and spawning, this event just shows off the problem.

[Yesitsmyrealname]

The Ability to Destroy a Planet is Insignificant to the Power of the Force

[gabor]

Nobody asks for the biggest patch to happen. We want the most meaningful patch where they give our fun toys back.

[billycurrythend]

The new mission on Helldive was horrific. When you have a Bile Titan appear directly under the the objective it's nigh on impossible. I think there needs to be a circle around the objective where the bugs breaches don't spawn

[josemxlif]

Jesus, they weren't kidding about how crazy the spawn rates are on Meridia.

It's the most difficult mission I've done to date! Don't know if the bug breaches are broken since they literally pop up right on top of the drill, and don't even get me started on the damn shreikers!

EMS mortar, EMS Strike, arc blitzer, gatling gun, and flamethrower are your friend. COORDINATION IS KEY!!!

Also, for some reason, dropping a shield on top of the drill will stop the bug breach on the drill

Going to do some more testing, but overall, its frustrating, but at the same time, kinda fun (opinions may very)

[saltwatertaffybag]

The mission is fine except one aspect. Bugs spawning UNDER THE FUCKING DRILL. The hell were they thinking? Other than that, its fine. Its supposed to be very difficult and require teamwork

[Jamesxfce]

I think its one of two things, Success and the Illuminate, Failure and the Hive Lords.

[Silkyfin_]

We need to take back meridia or destroy it if given no other choice, I'm meridian myself. When I learned my home was turned into nothing but a terminid supercolony, I couldn't bear it. My home, my family was gone, digested until it was unrecognizable. I'll never be able to go back to my old house on the lake, or the garden of black roses. I'll always remember meridia for what it stood for, And i'll never forget it.

Remember meridia, remember its sacrifice. But most of all.

Make those bugs remember why we're called helldivers...

For Super Earth!
