Next time I swear they'll just give us the damn mines cause we keep avoiding them lmao "Because the helldivers kept avoiding the mines, high command killed the bots and got them themselves"


PolloMagnifico

*In an effort to support the war, General Brash has picked up a Liberator and personally led a special detachment of Helldivers to Menkent. After punching several fire tornados to death and earning over 400,000 confirmed Automaton kills, General Brash returned with enough resources to begin construction and deployment of the XX11 Anti-Tank Mines*.


Appropriate-Crab-514

Afterwards you check the galactic map and menkent is either at 1000% liberation rate or gone


dpad85

It's completely terraformed with brand new mounted defenses made of the parts of Automatons.

Low_Chance

"Super Earth 2"


Hittorito

It would be funny if it really just disappeared. No black hole, no asteroid belt on its place, not even space dust. Just gone. The general picked up everything up for the mines and just whispered that he didn't want to see the planet again, so it was gone.


tutocookie

Just a bite taken out of it. "The section of the planet that was suspected to contain the anti tank mines was airlifted off the planet to a controlled environment and the anti tank mines were successfully extracted"

You forgot the most important detail! *Then his hellpod landed.*


Wilshire1992

I laughed really hard at this.


HushedShadow

I love how General Brash has basically become the Chuck Norris of helldivers


Worldly-Pay7342

Who would win, chuck norris, or general brash?


Efficient_Star_1336

To avoid making other people feel bad about their limited lifespans, he changes his name every few hundred years.


Brohma312

There was no detachment, it was just General Brasch.


ViceyThaShizzle

The detachment was his fists; *fuckin' A* and *fuckin' B*.


dhaninugraha

Reminds me of that Fast & Furious 7 scene where Letty asks The Rock’s character after seeing him crash an ambulance *onto* a Predator (?) drone, asks him if he brought the cavalry, to which he replied: Woman, *I am* the cavalry


acatohhhhhh

To put 400,000 into perspective I’ve got 160 hours in the game with roughly 20,000 bot kills and 22,000 bug kills


kuda001

I have roughly the same stats. In the first 50 hours it seemed i'd reach 100k kills in no time, yet it feels like i barely rack up any kills despite consistent 300 kills per long mission.


Bergen_is_here

*In his honor, Menkent has been renamed to Brashistan and a plan to terraform its largest mountain into his face has received presidential approval.*

Well, I *am* getting ready to put in the application. Just gotta work on that sweet sweet portfolio. Or I could ignore the portfolio and just give them [this video](https://youtu.be/GuLcxg5VGuo?si=z2fRCVRb9xUNnPtg) with my face superimposed.


Gal-XD_exe

Damn, 11 years ago?


Mal_Reynolds111

Unrealistic. General Brash doesn’t need to pick up a Liberator. He simply shoots finger guns at the Automatons and they fall over dead.


IAmTheWoof

Nah he uses senator


Giorno03Maggio

So its canon, general brasch is helldiver's chuck norris


Charmo_Vetr

'Failing this automaton major order will give Helldivers access to the anti tank mines' 100% of players on bots for the first time since history.


Tacomonkie

>MO: defeat ***all*** socialist presence in the galaxy in 24 hours. Completion awards 45 medals. Failure will award anti tank mines and 250 medals. *Players proceed to win the entire game as a meme*


Kcmichalson

How many Niko-divers do we have in this sub?


Charmo_Vetr

Not enough.


TabularConferta

I'd love it if we keep avoiding it now. Not because they wouldn't be fun and potentially useful, but just because its funny.


noise-tank20

“Due to the entire helldiver force struggling to obtain the anti tank mines super earth has decided to send John diver to go behind enemy lines and obtain them himself


Honksu

Since we havent felled for "carrot" yet, its rime to use "the stick". So next there will be event where spawns grazy amount of Bot tanks or bug chargers. So they can be like "HAHA! Told u to unlock those!"


SpacePirateKhan

Considering the efficacy of regular mines vs their intended targets, I wouldn't be convinced.


Honksu

I wold love to use both minefieöds atm but if my teamies aint Running to them, they will airstrike clear my fields.


Popinguj

I suspect that the next MO will require us to get to Cyberstan, so we'll have to liberate a bunch of planets. When we're done they'll say "Materials needed for production of AT mines has been found on one of the planets, we begin production"


ppmi2

They will make us choose between an Estanu 20k defence for the mines or having to conquer both menketh and chortbay ofensive campaign with a constant 4% decay to give a rabied dog to a loving family. Safe to say Timmy will get a new pet and the mines wil dastardly avoid helldivers arsenal

EdanChaosgamer

A sad day to be able to click a link and have eyes...


Efficient_Star_1336

I think the cat would've been cool with it. Cats are mischievous creatures, the idea that his body would someday be flying through the sky with his old friend at the controls, baffling onlookers and inspiring confusion, probably would have made the little guy happy.


Meretan94

The rabied dog deserves happiness too.


Bober077

FakeChiBlast

Poor orphan tanks just need love and democratic guidance.


StalledAgate832

How sick we talking? Automaton sick or fixing up mothballed TD-110 Bastions sick?


Own-Royal103

I’d gladly die for those tanks!


Catlas55

Kill one bug, AT mines are unlocked. Everyone will go to the bot front, Cyberstan recaptured by the end of the week, and still no AT mines. It's a win for everyone.


clokerruebe

"blow up hellmire or secure hellmire for the mines" the choice would be clear


TypowyPiesel

We secured hellmire so nope


infinity_yogurt

Only one way to safely secure hellmire. By doing it the meridian way.


miki325

Because they didnt let us do the other, in my opinion we should use the dark fluid against hellmire anyway


Jurasito

I still have no problems blowing it up.


Mal_Reynolds111

Honestly if it falls again I say let the bugs keep it. They want the fire nation *soooo* bad? It’s theirs.

‘We’ve set our top men on getting the mines, once the countdown reaches 0 you’ll get them in your arsenal to continue the fight!’ Congrats guys we now all have a pet bile titan and robot butler after we brokered peace.

Gonna be the exact same as the old one: 'Save this planet with orphans or unlock the mines! Syke, the kids became the labour needed to get the mines!'

miki325

Liberate hellmire OR you get the mines, maybe we would actually liberate hellmire then


HardLithobrake

Now that we've saved very sick children, I anticipate the butt of the joke to become steadily more pathetic such as rescuing a large number of puppies and kittens from an inadvisably large planetary pound.

wetchinchilla

It'll come down to saving a fish farm or getting the mines and we'll collectively decide to save the fish farm cause we all suddenly craved sushi.


JakeMcStank

Tuarceata

Ah, you must be referring to Saint Brasch's Home For Very Good Boys. It's on Hellmire.


121_Jiggawatts

I have a feeling that Arrowhead is going to give us 1 or 2 more attempts to earn it and if we fail, the bots are going to start using them. It seems like we are going to start getting some new vehicles in addition to the two mechs soon. Imagine after we start using them and destroying the bots, the bots will use all the anti tank mine materials we failed to liberate to make their own mines that can instantly destroy our vehicles. Then we can have a MO about destroying their mine factory and capturing their schematics for the mines. If we succeed, the bots stop using the mines and we finally get them, but if we fail, the bots continuing blowing up our vehicles with them.


sole21000

Ooh that would be a neat penalty if the bots started deploying the anti-tank mines in addition to their normal oversized ones. Maybe some dropships just sprinkle mines all over an area.


Herd_O_Angry_Turtles

*Super Earth High Command is sick of your avoidance in respect to the acquisition of the anti-tank mines. To rectify this oversight, we have employed the children you saved on Vernen Wells to staff the necessary factories and complete the fabrication of said mines.* And you think they didn't hear us saying *the children yearn for the mines*


alsignssayno

*The children you rescued have decided to sign on to the war effort! They have decided to donate their time and their parent's efforts in fabricating the mines! Well done, Helldivers!*


mbtheory

Anti tank mines are hereby to be deployed by cute and grateful l orphans, delivered by miniature Hellpod into combat as thanks for saving their lives.


PM_ME__YOUR_HOOTERS

eden_not_ttv

Liberate Lesath for Anti-Tank Mines -OR- Defend the Super Burger Town on Menkent


TheSiberianOfficial

RAMIREEEEEZ!


Niadain

Im betting that the devs are going to just not release them outright and roll them into a modifier. Like they are a rare commodity since we only got so many production facilities out there for them. So a new modifier that buffs the amount of heavy units that spawn can be madea nd you get anti tank mines for free when that modifier is up to help helldivers counter the increased numbers.


___Balrog___

Loose Mavelon Creek if you don’t go for the mines (will be the next major order)


One_Meaning416

Win the galactic war or we'll give you anti-tank mines


FryToastFrill

Cyberstan liberated in minutes


Raeldri

Did they release the behemoth chargers because we didn't go for the mines?


KyeeLim

throw it to bug planet with "if any bug planet got liberated, grant player with anti tank mine" then finally bot planet will have players


Phire453

I would be a bot player but my friends want to do the MO


Ok_Contract_3661

"saving the kids will also grant the AT mines this time" So then we have to decide if letting the kids die is worth avoiding the mines. Truly a moral dilemma.


Estellese7

Eh, next time they make us choose between two. Put the mines on a bug planet, and the other on a bot planet. We'll get the mines. Nothing can stop the bug only divers from diving bugs.


smellyfacts

Complete the next MO against bots or we will give you the AT mines. This is the only way


Piemaster113

Just a major order of assaulting a bot planet with triple tank spawns


ervin_pervin

Choose between AT Mines and a congressional building filled with geriatric politicians.  


Pale_Kitsune

Just...let me have the mines.


Coldatahd

They do a major order to destroy hellmire and the reward is the anti tank mines, I’d be forced to complete that mission. Fk hellmire


hebdomad7

They'll give us anti tank mines for NOT achieving major orders ....


local_meme_dealer45

"New major order: Kill 100 bots and get the AT mines" The whole community switches to bugs for a week


Umicil

Helldivers stuff aside, do bunnies know what knives are? Does she really have to hide the knife?


Constant_Reserve5293

Okay, weird story time.... But I've had a snake chill out in my front yard... big guy... So he wasn't moving and I kind of had to commit to getting out my bowie. The snake didn't move after me approaching twice and making subtle movements... but the MOMENT, I started unsheathing the knife, he slithered away 'very' fast. So, no, I don't think animals know what a knife is, but for some reason they will react to it.

tehrockeh

I don't understand why they don't just add new stratas to the store like they did with the quasar and hmg instead of tying them to MOs that can be failed... there are SO many unreleased yet fully functional stratagems and tying them to MOs makes the release of them SO slow. Then there's the troll ass people that purposefully sabotage AT mine MOs for the "memes" or "mines bad". We aren't getting any of the other stratagems until we get those AT mines out of the way first.


Brohma312

I can't wait for the message " despite all obstacles we finally made anti tank mines available helldivers." Then the community will promptly never use them.


JustAnEDHPlayer

The next AT Mine MO will either be Bot Front to unlock them, or Bug Front for like, a single medal.


Casey090

Randomize our result, like with the stratagem scrambler?


xkoreotic

On the next bots MO we are going to coincidentally "find" factories of AT Mines and we just claim it as our own. New stratagem unlocked.


Levanthalas

I honestly think the only thing that might work at this point is an appeal to FOMO. Say "you get the mines now or never." That *might* get enough of the collector-minded people to do whatever the order is, because they always want something MORE than the mines, but if it came down to mines or nothing, with no other factors, they might just do it b Plus the people that just always follow the MO. And that's still a strong maybe.


seen_some_shit_

“Anti tank mines are now a free stratagem for all” *doesn’t get used still*


TrenchDive

They probably would help against the behemoth chargers. Just saying lol. My guess is when we go back to a Bot MO maybe pushing to cyberstan. Maybe they release a new variant of tank?


H2so4pontiff

The senior citizens need euthanizing, they are too old to protect and manage democracy. go set up the hell bomb, Liberty will guide the old souls forward.


SmugglerOfBones

I bet we’ll end up earning weapons completely unknown to us rn before we get those mines


RocketBilly13

Honestly? Just make it a grenade for us to use rather than a stratagem. There is zero reason for us to take it when we already have a variety of ways to take out heavies/tanks. A mine where we're forced to get close behind and bait them into it seems way more fun than just dropping it down from the sky.


OrangeBird077

Anti tank mines vs saving 10,000 liberty loving puppies trapped on a Terminid Planet.


okbutinspanish

I just imagine the devs getting so annoyed if we skip on the another time that they just give them to the boys, so not so often there's a mine dispenser that pops up and fills the ground of minse to kill the helldiver or that when you are using a mech the boys can call a anti tack mine feeld


Freecee

They'll put them on Bug planets. This way (if it's not hellmire) people actually go for it


Octi1432

Kill 1 bot.


ODST_Parker

Surprise attack on Creek, anti-tank mines spotted in Automaton hands. Get them or we lose the planet forever.

I feel we should continue to avoid winning the mines. It's tradition now


ChrisZAUR

It would literally need to be an option of anti-tank mines or anti-tank mines


Substantial-Bear-366

Get anti tank mines or psn sign in again gosh no I prefer the anti tank mine before I ever get PSN


twec21

Sex bots for morale boosts (does literally nothing) Or AT mines


dannylew

Hell Divers make it to the only available bug planet and mid invasion they change the whole fucking planet to automatons and there's a major order to take this one automaton planet and if we don't we're never allowed to fight bugs again (for three months or whatever)

TWO planets with kids trapped in hospitals!


Chmigdalator

You have to turn Hellmire into a black hole or get the AT Mines at Automaton front. Nah Nah, that wouldn't devide us. Maybe, Menkent?


Stefe04

What if they give them to the automatons? Like they create cloaked automaton minelayers then propose a major order to stop them from spawning.


Vedemin

Anti Tank Mines are hidden within the core of Hellmire! Nuke the planet and destroy it permanently to get the mines! This would be extremely funny because we need to decide whether avoiding the mines is worth not destroying that shithole.


L45TPH45E

The 4000 children need jobs, subdue the bots for the children to recycle into democracy mines. OR Liberate hellmire 10 times.


BracusDoritoBoss963

"The bots are trying to reach the anti-tank mines production sites. If they succeed we expect for them to place them all over around making missions have 10 times more mines than usual and also making them way harder to see. Prevent the bots from getting this powerful passive defense by getting it first."


SURGERYPRINCESS

Depends r we going to save dogs and cats. Than get pets that can help with stealth and cry when they supposly died for us.


TovarishchRed

Our next major order for them will have us choose between defending a cancer hospital or using them as bait so we can go behind enemy lines for easier access to enemy bases and defenses.


TheSarcaticOne

Kill 1 bot to get the AT mines.


Red_Sashimi

Liberate a random Bot planet for a major order that doesn't mention the AT mines at all and unexpectedly unlock the mines. Dispatch says "Oh, looks like the bots transfered the AT mines materials here. How lucky. AT mines available for purchase"


TheGunzerkr

This meme absolutely slayed me


Constant_Dig4780

The real answer is that they're just not gonna give us a choice and it'll either be either get the mines or fail the major order, and I don't think there's enough people willing to lose on purpose to avoid getting those mines.


harew1

We had that once before. We lost. All we had to do was kill bots. No choice, no specific planet just kill bots where ever you want.


forsencsgo

We dont need mines, we need hunger games like parachuting explosives that detonate 2 times


JustForge

Im convinced we won't get them next time we avoid them. We know there are vehicles we will be able to drive when they are dropped so maybe it will be an enemy weapon. Factory striders drop them as they move or something like that. I mean they almost gave the bots the mech.


MostlyPeacefullUser

What if they are secretly really good?


TheGhostCarp

Damn, it’s almost like mines are far more of a hindrance to us than the enemies. They all need a big rework imo.

Rare_Reality7510

After being informed that the war effort would deliver us anti tank mines in the next 48 hours, the helldivers have unanimously signed a peace treaty and declaration of friendship with both the automatons and terminids. "I know this is highly undemocratic." One helldiver was quoted as saying. "But counterpoint, with no war there's no war effort and getting anti tank mines delayed again is really funny." Edit: Further talks have begun with the illuminate and are predicted to end within 3 hours before the dev team can finish setting up the update for mines. Talks are ongoing of making the treaty permanent to forever banish anti tank mines from existence.


ZenEvadoni

Look, they really want to force feed us the AT mines, all they have to do is make a major order whose objective is to kill a measly 1 billion bugs over the course of 4 days. There's no way people will stop or slow playing the game so we fail and don't get the mines.
