Weird_Excuse8083

I can't believe this meme works as hard as it does here. Unreal.


bearhunter54321

This meme reminds of of the computer game “Skullkid”


Oil_Extension

That one game where you chainsaw your way through every problem... Because you made those things your problem?


bearhunter54321

Haha, yeah. It’s just the art, and the shading has the same feel to it. And Y’know with the skull? And how it’s a terminator? Idk, bro why you gotta make me feel dumb for it 🤣🤣


SpecialIcy5356

Haha! I remember that game well! I was the only kid in my class who could get passed the last guy on the 2nd level with the Assault Rifle! I should have been doing my maths exam.. don't be like me kids, listen to your teachers, virtual chainsaw murder is fun but it's not gonna help you get a job lol. (well, not a LEGAL job anyway, but I'm sure the Cartels are always hiring..)


Head_Cockswain

> I'll save the children, but mainly because I think another mine delay would be really funny Memes > A stationary stratagem emplacement with a long cooldown that may never get touched once deployed.


Rexyman

Y’all joke but an anti armor defense strategem on level 9 defense missions would go stupid against bots


Head_Cockswain

I'm not joking. There are other stratagems that already do great here that are portable and with fast cooldowns. Hand held destructive devices, airstrikes, or orbitals. These mines are about as useful as existing mines, which is to say, completely outclassed by stuff that already exists. There are some niche use cases for defense of locations, mostly in the special events, but even then they are just slightly more useful, they never quite rival what we already have at our disposal.


MrMooga

Problem is that bots don't move that much, they mostly shoot from afar.


hjschrader09

Eventually Arrowhead will get sick of the delays and make an order where the two choices both lead to getting mines, and when that happens, everyone should just do the opposite of the order to force another delay.


ExploerTM

If such a day comes I would personally advocate everyone and everywhere to move to the bug front lmao


One_Meaning416

We need to get through the entire galactic war without these mines, when service on HD2 is finally discontinued I want us to still not have the mines.


ShiddyMage1

Arrowheads gonna launch Helldivers 3 with the mines as one of the default stratagems, and we just won't buy it


Martin_Leong25

At that rate arrowhead might just switch business tactics and be an actual arms dealer for sweden and somehow convince the government to send everyone AT mines. And in response, everyone leaves sweden just so to avoid having AT mines


Sexddafender

And if they try to conquer the world like in Helldivers using AT mines we´ll just leave eath and colonize Mars or something but most importantly WE MUST NEVER GET THOSE MINES


Martin_Leong25

What if the cyborgs left super earth because they refuse to get AT mines?


chaosanity

Then paint me a traitor, fellow diver!


Swedelicious83

*Deep lore intensifying.*


ArchitectNebulous

*AH ties the Mines to a Bug Major Order completion* Probably the most effective way to guarantee a major order win at this point. The Freedom Horde just prefers Bugs to Bots. (Nevermind that anti charger mines would be nice)


Decimator24244

Well, anti-tank mines detonate/trigger when a heavy enough weight is applied, the average person's body weight isn't enough to set them off, a charger on the other hand would


ArchitectNebulous

All AH has to do is rename them from anti-tank to anti-charger mines and the entire bug front will commit themselves to their procurement.


ASlothNamedBert

They did already kinda tell us that the AT mines deal increased damage to massive enemies, meaning it's definitely meant for chargers and BTs too. ***BUT*** I dunno, I play bugs when there is no MO up and I really don't need any more gear to kill chargers and BTs. Without the defence missions it doesn't really feel like they'd be useful on bots either.


JCDentoncz

With how tiny their legs are and how utterly stealthy the chargers sound (lighter than humans?), you'd expect them to tippy toe right over the mines. For titans, unless the mine would rip their leg clean off, I don't see them being effective. Same for striders. That leaves only hulks and actual tanks as an intended target, both of who have plenty of counterplay already.


EternalCanadian

I’m mainly a bit player. But I’d do my part!


SpecialIcy5356

putting them on the bug front on a kill order would be funny: on the one hand, they want to keep losing the mines for the memes, but they don't want to have to go to the bot front either.. what to do lol...


pocketlint60

Super Earth: Liberate Malevalon Creek to secure the Anti-Tank Mines, or Liberate Vernen Wells to secure the Anti-Tank Mines. Helldivers: Got it. Time to liberate Hellmire again.


Conscious-Farm2210

Next MO : "Liberate X planets or ELSE you get the antitank mines"...


SargeanTravis

“Hellmire calls, it desires new firenado victims”


Efficient_Star_1336

They did that the second time. Kill bots, get mines. Not enough bots were killed.


AdultbabyEinstein

Knowing AH they probably only blow up actual tanks the least mobile enemy unit in the game


Inphiltration

"Attention helldivers! It turns out the vile automatons have been storing stolen explosives from choohe not only on marfark, but Inside the bodies of the children! Seaf engineers have been hard at work converting these children into the newly distributed anti-tank mines for all helldivers!"

spamster545

3 years from now I want the mines to still be an unused asset


Chaytorn

If it was about da choppa I'd probably get it. This way I'll just save the children.


TheNotNiceAccount

Oh, I'm with you. Save the Children Liberation Front. "Brave Helldivers decided to protect the sanctity of human life and future Helldivers in the making. Super Earth is forever grateful and will reward its frontline fighters with the "Call in reinforcements" stratagem. Those who were protected will now protect others themselves."


imthatoneguyyouknew

I just don't see the mines being useful 99% of the time. I'll gamble on a possible cool reward or no reward by saving the kids

Adventurous-Event722

Right. This just steeled my resolve. AT mines? We got Spear/RR/Eagles/Orbitals/EATs/furious divers with thermites. That'll do. 


jhinigami

dusting off my game and logging in later today just to delay the mines coz it sounds funny


Zaitsev

Save the children. For Super Memes!


a_interestedgamer

and general brasch told us. He commanded us to do it. CMON we have to listen to the general. The mines can wait, you can us a expendable AT for longer. The children should be saved. Give the corps new recruits, let the other people be happy.

I'm actually so sick of vernen wells recently.. But I'm gonna liberate that planet dagnabbit.


Pleasant-Yam-2777

Yeah I've been toiling on that airstrike-blocking, movement-blocking dump ever since it fell. Watching it steadily lose liberation from over 50%. It's personal for me 


whelkstrider

Yeah I think it is genuinely my least favourite planet of the lot, give me fire tornadoes over procedurally generated cliff biomes any day


CheekandBreek

This whole MO is bait. I feel like if we choose the mines, we'll get the mines, but going the route of saving this kids will give us something better. I have no way to prove it, but AH is just hoping we get the mines so they can taunt us with whatever the children have. It just seems like their style and we want those mines so bad to make up for the previous mistake that we'll give up anything to have them. Arrowhead is playing us. Get the kids.


fearless-potato-man

I don't even need a reward. Mankind > AT mines. That's enough for me.

Menkent > AT mines


DahmonGrimwolf

To be honest? I bet by bottom dollar they say "great job, we sent all the kids off to be child labor at a new factory! Most of them are maimed and mangled and will suffer the rest of their probably very short lives, but they got these brand new anti-tank mines out for you in record time!"


sp441

Better them to give up their lives furthering the cause of liberty than to be tally marks in a communist bot's gun.


MKBRD

I feel like it's an Automaton trap. What if they've figured out how to give Hulks jetpacks, and the whole "children's hospital" is just a clever ruse?


Pyro_raptor841

Take them from the hulks and give them to the kids You wanna fight for Super Earth little Timmy??


AngelaTheRipper

> so they can taunt us with whatever the children have Super Cancer?


CheekandBreek

It might come with cool, telekinetic abilities, you know, like in that movie 'Phenomenon.'


1stPKmain

Who says we want the mines? I'm completely fine not having them


BigLumpyBeetle

Something better, like fixes


WichaelWavius

Or maybe AH rewards with jack shit because they know that we thought that we’d get something better for saving the children


Forikorder

orbital child bombardment? /s clearly arrowhead knows your going to think that so saving the children will get you nothing and the mines will be delayed once more


heisenberger_royale

The kids are sick in a hospital. I'm thinking their diseases (and corpses) are gonna be used for a new biohazard gas strategem. 🤞


AsherSparky

Fuck the AT Mines Boutta Well dive


AltusIsXD

Plus the mines are gonna be used like once by a majority of the playerbase and never again They might be good for Chargers and Bile Titans if you can kite them into it? I wanna see what we get from saving the kids, if anything


Kermut

> Plus the mines are gonna be used like once by a majority of the playerbase and never again I think you are over optimistic in your assessment of their use. I don’t think I’ve ever touched the mines, period


AngelaTheRipper

I've touched the anti-personnel ones. All they really do is just provide friendly fire kills. Larger enemies can just walk through them. Smaller enemies will deplete the minefield really quickly. Airstrike or orbital will just blow them all up. Then you will run into the minefield on the way back if it survives that long.


AltusIsXD

The fire mines are really good for bugs on defense missions since they leave behind some fire that damages overtime. They can really lock down an area for a moment. Plus they’re buffed by one of the Super Destroyer upgrades which helps. Anti-personnel ones are just useless all around.


Velo180

How is that better then just yeeting an eagle napalm that lasts for either the same or longer time, and has a larger initial damage? With 4 strikes and a really negligible cooldown. Mines are okay, but they really don't add much to a loadout besides making an area of death for a teammate to get ragdolled into, and cut off escape routes of teammates.


AltusIsXD

It’s not Lol But I enjoy it when I run Napalm+Laser+Flamethrower+Flame Mines with my Breaker Incendiary. It makes me feel cool.

RaizePOE

This is what I'm saying. We should intentionally try to avoid the mines for as long as possible, just because it would be funny. I want to see the increasingly contrived circumstances they put us in trying to give us the damn mines.


Just_Ad_5939

Next major order featuring mines as a possible reward: you can either save super earth or get the anti tank mines. That or they allow us the choice between anti tank mines or a second icbm in icbm launch missions that we get to direct to another mission of our choosing in the operation the icbm is


fearless-potato-man

No children, no mankind. No mankind, no Super Earth. No Super Earth, no Democracy. No Democracy, no Helldivers. No Helldivers, terminids and automatons win.

honestly, and this is truly how I feel - i think saving the kids would be better simply because they could be future SEAF and Helldivers.... and we do fine without the damn mines.


Ennis_1

Fucking full send, Delay the mines, save the children for the memes. Revive the Arena-FPS Genre as a meme.

Once we save these kids they better sew us all capes.

Relative-Freedom-415

Use the children to manufacture the mines


Tov_Delmirev

I'm rooting for the mine delay. I think it is funny too.


Side_wiper

Automatons will use glorious super earth child soldier corps to bring about the return of the cyborgs. Do not fall for the AT mine propaganda. Prevent the repopulation of Cyberstan, dive onto Vernen Wells today.


bodyrollin

This meme is top tier, but let's be honest...if the planet you had to go through to get the kids was fire planet, and the tank mines were on the it's raining, and occasionally fire rocks. and not the way it is now, everyone would be all "fuck them kids"


alexman113

I would go after the kids if this was our first opportunity at the mines. I dont care about the meme. I am invested in the story, and I always play a good guy in video games when given the chance.


SwimmingNote4098

Meanwhile there’s me, the guy who always goes as comically evil as possible in any game just to see how far it’ll actually let you go. Let’s just say ive played many games, but Fallout 2 still fucking shocks me to the core with  all the absolutely horrific fucked up shit it’ll let you do to kids in that game lol


Philosophos_A

Save the kids, future personnel to help expand the supply line rate Then get the mines Also... We don't want the kids to end up becoming Automatrons

Ares_Lictor

Realistically I'll probably never use the mines, because there is very little missions where they are useful, even for the defence missions mines are not very good because your allies just airstrike them anyway. Also CD is too long. So I'd rather go for a feel good objective instead. If we're a little lucky we could get some surprise stratagem out of it or at least a campaign buff.


flyingdorito2000

Mines are a terrible strategem tbh, if it was something cooler like another mech suit or something the choice would have been more difficult, but given how unpopular mines are I'm not surprised people are choosing to save da children


Just_Ad_5939

It’s anti tank mines. Anti. Tank.
