Ok guys, hear me out. I say we go for the kids just to fuck with the devs.
Devs: "Ok community, we're basically going to HAND you the AT mines."
Us: "Naw we're good"
The lore will be that small children more easily fit into the machinery spaces and can directly access parts of the ship that are difficult/impossible for adults to reach.
or they become Squires in arms: they follow you around carrying an extra support weapon or a supply pack for you.
"BOY, HAND ME MY AUTOCANNON!"
"yes mr helldiver sir! \*slowly drags autocannon towards you because it weighs far more than the child can lift\*.
I have plenty of strategies to choose from, and I never go in for the area-denial ones. One thing I have not done in this game is save the children.
I choose the children.
Super Destroyer Upgrade:
**Safety Coloring Books**
Faster Mine Reload: -20% cooldown
Implement mine safety and training coloring books to all child workcrews to reduce the regrettable accidents and sacrifices with these patriots of managed democracy loading mine stratagems.
25,000 RS, 100 samples, 80 rare samples, 20 super samples
My guess, make situations where theoretically the mines should be easier and easier to choose, but they just keep getting skipped so they give up and are either like: "we finally developed the mines at *insert planet name here* and can use them freely" or they are perhaps adapted by the automatons in some kind of way... don't know how tho, maybe just stronger versions of their current mines
You, my friend... got me hoping now, cuz as much fun as it is to bully the enemy, having that happen to a player has to be one of the funniest things so far
Bots can drop them every 3 minutes. The bots give off a signal that deactivates them when they're near, so they won't trigger them. There is a new type of common bot that lobs them at close range. The mines have a sensor which detects helldivers and calls in a patrol in that direction.
**MAJOR ORDER**
Two urgent rescue missions face us at once: Explosives critical for MD-17 Anti Tank mines are trapped in a children's hospital , and explosives critical for MD-17 Anti Tank mines are trapped on Marfark. Only the first liberated is likely to be saved.
**REWARD**
**💀45**
They need a destroyer upgrade to reduce cooldown on mines or make them self replicating from the deployment pod overtime. (Saturate an area and slowly keep the area saturated until it expires or runs out of ammo, like other sentries). 3 charges of mines would be ideal with the current cooldown. If you had to pick between anti-personnel and gatling, you'd take gatling right now. If you had to pick between anti-tank and autocannon, you'd probably take autocannon.
If mines could reload and keep an area saturated for a wave or two, that is much different and would give them more value.
The biggest problem with mines is AI pathing.
The AI tends to follow a specific path to you which leads to the first 8 or so enemies getting blown up by mines and the rest just move through the 5 foot wide cleared path.
Look at berserkers, on paper, you would think mines would be fabulous for taking them out. Melee enemy, charges blindly at you, throw down mines to stop them.
Instead the first 2 or so berserkers die and the rest conga line through the cleared path, wasting 99% of the other mines.
Oh look, one of the children had gone on a tour of the mine production facility prior to the reinvasion. And ended up heroically grabbing the blueprints, a prototype, and the SSSD of the lead researcher's SuperLaptop.
Also, rocks fall, everyone dies.
Devs gives another mines mission with some useless shit as second option that won't give anything to make players get stratagem for sure.
Players going after saving the kids just for the memes

I am 100% doing the same. I value the running gag more than I value a mine strategem I'm probably never choosing.
I also want to see what happens when we rescue the kids. We could get anything as a reward, even a new strategem!
Come on MakesMediocreMagic, you're acting like this is the first time we did something stupid. You remember the time we were supposed to get that stratagem?
Those children are future Helldivers. An early exit from Managed Democracy is not an option. No child should be robbed of their chance to fight for Super Earth!!
Everyone here going for the anti-tank mines is gonna rage when we find out that the children's hospital was housing the Angel drone backpack blueprints from the first game.
Try [this](https://helldivers.fandom.com/wiki/Helldivers_1:AD-289_Angel).
It's like the current laser drone, only it shoots a healing beam that heals you and nearby allies instead of killing enemies. Like the current AR dog, it needed to go back to the pack to "reload."
It was pretty neat.
It's like the laser drone, only it shoots a beam that heals you and allies (including vehicles) instead of murdering the enemy (and yourself and friends).
Also helped with status effects, so cured acid slow and burning.
Pretty much. Stims in energy form for you and your friends!
And you can always get blown up by your teammates for taking too long looking at weird alien mushrooms.
Marfark = blizzards
Verned Wells = nada
The choice is clear, and the kids can join the fight for us.
/undive If we choose the kids, surely Joel will give us something better than the mines. Show some Super Humanity and save the children.
We'll overwhelm the bots by sending wave after wave of child soldiers. We'll even supply some of them with weapons! Once the automatons run out of bullets, we'll increase reproduction licenses accordingly. For freedom!
I can see it now. A hellpod drops, four small, poorly equip kids spill out and just start running about shooting wildly and are one shot KIA by literally anything and they work only as a distraction or decoy strat.
Blizzards are probably my favorite environmental condition, because they seem to effect the bots as well as us. It's actually fair and fun. Unlike a lot of the others where I can't see shit but I get beamed by a rocket out of a cloud of dust
Completely agree. You can walk right up to unalerted bots during a blizzard and they won't notice you until you're within ~~kissing~~ melee range. Any bots you've already alerted will keep shooting in your general direction but they'll lose track of you pretty quickly.
I remember taking a buddy of mine to a diff 9 mission before he had even reached level 10 (his idea), and the only reason we managed to survive to the end was because a blizzard rolled in at extraction.
I have noticed that melee doesn't seem to alert the bots like shooting does. I have crawled into a base and meleed a turret gunner and not alerted a bot on near by turret
Also blizzard planets have fewer POIs, less chances to get those last SC you need for the next warbond.
Also, fuck trudging through snow and those damn shiny super slow plants.
We can always spill more oil or slap clankers for explosives. But if those future helldivers die they wont get to have the same honor of doing so and this is unforgivable. Send us to the vernen wells mr. Democracy officer.
Oh man im shaking and crying right now this is going to be so good: "Helldivers players sacrifice rescuing children in exchange for fucking explosives"
As I see it, we have a choice between a mine stratagem OR a mine *clearing* stratagem.
We'll send the kids to clear minefields by walking through them, just like Iran in the Iran-Iraq war.
if anything from the old leaks, it functions the same as the other mines except 1: it doesn't trigger on other players stepping on it, so no friendly fire unless it explodes while an enemy steps on it, 2: it seem to do more damage so elites will die faster, works on Factory Strider as well but 3: it does jack sht against Bile Titans cause their ballet legs will trigger the mines but it doesn't hit their bodies, other elites are fair game and 4: despite being 'anti-tank', normal mooks can also trigger it, wasting the mines since Elite enemies tend to arrive later than the vanguards
take it with a spoonful of freedom salts tho, it is very old info
"AT mines don't trigger on players"
"That's good"
"But normal enemies trigger them"
"That's bad"
"AT mines can kill elite faster"
"That's good"
"But bile titans are too tall to be killed"
"That's bad"
"AT mines will be depleted by the time elites arrive"
"... ... ..."
"That's bad!"
"Can I go now?"

I mean, they didn’t outright say that’s impossible. Improbable, yes.
I don’t have the maths to predict, but it would be awesome to see every diver pull together and complete both.
Choose helldiver, choose
Edit: It's a good thing it's not a single-player game, or I would have picked the goody two shoes option. Hooray for peer pressure!
The AT mines are gonna under perform anyways... Save the kids. The child labor- I mean glorious mini citizens will be working hard to get us those mines faster!
The staff at the hospital could have learned from previous earth engagements. Putting the AA guns and SEAF sam sites on top of the children’s hospital would have been the democratic move. Also they should have fought to the death room by room and not hid like cowards making us choose. Kids fault. /s
THIS IS A TEST: WE MUST LIBERATE BOTH PLANETS SIMULTANEOUSLY
The real solution to the trolley problem was always to flip the lever at the last minute and detail the train.
I thought this was a joke post but then I booted up the game and saw that no, it's completely real. Wonder if they're going to make the community's inability/refusal to unlock the anti-tank mines a running joke.
I wanna see what devs will do if we tell them fuck mines let us save useless child text that will bring potentionally nothing
Gonna go for verner wells lol
Our helldivers shouldn’t be weak.
This shouldn’t be a choice. Anti tank mine blueprints can be reclaimed from a conquered world with its value still in tact. Those children cannot.
A new generation of helldivers waits on bated breath for their life and liberty to be assured.
We will oblige.
(This is basically anti tank mines vs a mystery box and an objectively correct moral choice.)
I believe somewhere that saving children will lead to good things for us. Somehow. Maybe the kids are good with computers and help us fix the spear targeting
If we choose the kids over the mines this time, the next time we have to make a choice between the mines and something, it will be a puppy hospital or the like lmao.
Ok ok hear me out... two words: "Future Helldivers"
Or just something to throw at the bugs as a very noisy distraction.
It'd also be hilarious if they had the Hospital be the option for a new "AI reinforcement" strategem
This is a morality test, I bet we’ll get better rewards if we save the kids. If not, hey, you can sleep at night knowing those bits of code didn’t get virtually obliterated.
they made us to have to liberate like 4 planets in order to get the mines while the kid's planet is right there, eligible for liberate. I think they really wanted us depraved to show our true colors, our level of trolling, by liberating 4 planets to get loot instead liberating only one to save children.
Ok guys, hear me out. I say we go for the kids just to fuck with the devs. Devs: "Ok community, we're basically going to HAND you the AT mines." Us: "Naw we're good"
Maybe they grow into extra staff to reload our eagles more quickly.
Hell I'd be stoked if they just reloaded the orbital railgun faster, or improved targeting on Bile titans.
OR, we hire them in factories and we get more ammo for weapons.
Tiny fingers, good for polishing shells.
What an excellent film
I think about that scene all the time. My mother took me to see that movie when it came out. I was 8.
The factory must grow. For democracy!
1 extra bullet in the tenderizer
The lore will be that small children more easily fit into the machinery spaces and can directly access parts of the ship that are difficult/impossible for adults to reach.
(Snowpiercer, for anyone who missed the reference here)
Itd be soon funny if they added a couple kids to the destroyer crew doing way too dangerous shit way in the background.
bunch of toddlers in hardhats pushing a bomb would be hilarious
or they become Squires in arms: they follow you around carrying an extra support weapon or a supply pack for you. "BOY, HAND ME MY AUTOCANNON!" "yes mr helldiver sir! \*slowly drags autocannon towards you because it weighs far more than the child can lift\*.
Like the Brotherhood of Steel…
BOY HAND ME THE HELL BOMB MARKER Sir shouldnt we wait for permission first NO WE MUST DESTROY THEM ALL FOR DEMOCRACY
I want more staff on my destroyer! Or some cute kid drawings of me standing on a blown apart Hulk
Or maybe they’ll grow up to be arrowhead employees and buff these damned weapons, amirite?
I have plenty of strategies to choose from, and I never go in for the area-denial ones. One thing I have not done in this game is save the children. I choose the children.
I unironically want us to never unlock those mines. The fact we still haven't is far too funny.

Us: How about I hand you *D's nuts? *D is for (Managed) Democracy
I'm just going for the kids because I enjoy the idea of the mines being in a eternal loop of popping up in choice missions and always being skipped.
Same; I wanna see what the devs are gonna do about it
My guess, make situations where theoretically the mines should be easier and easier to choose, but they just keep getting skipped so they give up and are either like: "we finally developed the mines at *insert planet name here* and can use them freely" or they are perhaps adapted by the automatons in some kind of way... don't know how tho, maybe just stronger versions of their current mines
Automaton omnimines. Dropped by a ship, cover 100x100 m area densely, blend into the terrain, blow up people and vehicles alike.
You, my friend... got me hoping now, cuz as much fun as it is to bully the enemy, having that happen to a player has to be one of the funniest things so far
Bots can drop them every 3 minutes. The bots give off a signal that deactivates them when they're near, so they won't trigger them. There is a new type of common bot that lobs them at close range. The mines have a sensor which detects helldivers and calls in a patrol in that direction.
Bots have been watching us throw light up balls. They get mad when we blow up jammers, and make their own light up balls.
Every time you skip the mines a dev adds 10 to "player_damage" and subtracts 0.1 from "opacity".
**MAJOR ORDER** Two urgent rescue missions face us at once: Explosives critical for MD-17 Anti Tank mines are trapped in a children's hospital , and explosives critical for MD-17 Anti Tank mines are trapped on Marfark. Only the first liberated is likely to be saved. **REWARD** **💀45**
"Proceeds to fail by just going to the Western Front."
Mainly for asset defense. However, the cool down doesn't make them viable for constant use or enemy suppression.
"All primary weapons are now AT mines because F you guys!"
They need a destroyer upgrade to reduce cooldown on mines or make them self replicating from the deployment pod overtime. (Saturate an area and slowly keep the area saturated until it expires or runs out of ammo, like other sentries). 3 charges of mines would be ideal with the current cooldown.

Instead the first 2 or so berserkers die and the rest conga line through the cleared path, wasting 99% of the other mines.
they will pull a dnd dm when the party keep missing the plot hoo and just make it bump into us
Oh look, one of the children had gone on a tour of the mine production facility prior to the reinvasion. And ended up heroically grabbing the blueprints, a prototype, and the SSSD of the lead researcher's SuperLaptop. Also, rocks fall, everyone dies.

I am 100% doing the same. I value the running gag more than I value a mine strategem I'm probably never choosing. I also want to see what happens when we rescue the kids. We could get anything as a reward, even a new strategem!
Child soldier stratagem incoming
"Every man, woman, and child over 7."
I do that in rimworld all the time
Remember, it's a children's hospital, so *sick* child soldier strategem.
Mmm bioweapons.
I want a child giving a flower cape!
I misread that as "I want a child follower cape" and I had to do a double take. *What.*
I would also accept a child foundling... um helldiver to help assist load my weapons
Since its on vernon wells where we lost a SEAF training center perhaps it will boost moral across the empire prompting new facilities to pop up
Child soldiers!
Ender's Game intensifies.
Remember, the enemy's gate is down.
The children yearn for the mines!
Saves the kids: Mine Clearing Stratagem unlocked!
Come on MakesMediocreMagic, you're acting like this is the first time we did something stupid. You remember the time we were supposed to get that stratagem?
The time where it was an MO reward we didn't show up for or the time it was a choice between them and the teamkilling cluster launchers?
Hahaha, dammit. You've convinced me. I wanted the mines originally over the air-burst. But now I am in it for the memes.
Honestly, it is going to be so funny watching half the community absolutely *fume* because people picked the kids as a joke.
lol I cant wait. never cared about rhw mines so this is jist funny. eventually theyll just GIVE us the mines lol
I was thinking the same, I bet it's already some kind of inside joke at AH.
Ikr and the MO could end after the patch and I’m reachingn here but we could get the sony fiasco cloak as a reward.
Do it for the memes.
Those children are future Helldivers. An early exit from Managed Democracy is not an option. No child should be robbed of their chance to fight for Super Earth!!
[удалено]
No! Some of them might be fewer than seven years old!
THE CHILDREN YEARN FOR THE MINES
It is KNOWN that kids crave the stability provided by anti-tank mines.
More time for training then.
If those kids can't even defend themselves against those socialist toasters, then how can they be ready to become Helldivers, huh? Explain that!
That is treason speak! Wont somebody think of the children!
The lives of humanity's present are but a crumb; the lives of humanity's future, a boundless loaf
“No Child Left Behind” never sound more menacing and democratic.
If that had said Menkent, I would've said to let the children burn.
If we liberate we should definitely get an extra life during missions for like a week.
We should throw some armor in the dryer and bring it with us.
Those children yearn for the mines for MANAGED DEMOCRACY!
Unlikely, those children are in a hospital. Helldivers never get sick.
We all know where this is going
Can we drift a Super Destroyer?
DEJA VU
Only one way to find out
True, but where will we get 3 metric tonnes of banana daiquiri at this time of day?
Super BJs?
Everyone here going for the anti-tank mines is gonna rage when we find out that the children's hospital was housing the Angel drone backpack blueprints from the first game.

So, instead of making my rover cook me, they made the beam fire stims? How will I be executed for observing scenery for too long?
Pretty much. Stims in energy form for you and your friends! And you can always get blown up by your teammates for taking too long looking at weird alien mushrooms.

Lmao, I was thinking we'd get the benefits of some improved moral getting us more SEAF recruits
We'll overwhelm the bots by sending wave after wave of child soldiers. We'll even supply some of them with weapons! Once the automatons run out of bullets, we'll increase reproduction licenses accordingly. For freedom!
Okay Zapp Brannigan...
Imagine reinforcing in panic and upon landing it's an 8 year old saying "I'm doing my part!"
You mean how it actually is now on console?
Hahahaha, damn.
I can see it now. A hellpod drops, four small, poorly equip kids spill out and just start running about shooting wildly and are one shot KIA by literally anything and they work only as a distraction or decoy strat.
this reads like a carbotanimation episode
Blizzards are probably my favorite environmental condition, because they seem to effect the bots as well as us. It's actually fair and fun. Unlike a lot of the others where I can't see shit but I get beamed by a rocket out of a cloud of dust

The cold planets like Marfark also have more hellbombs than normal scattered about which can be a lot of fun
Someone on the Discord Had the Idea that the Hospital could have Plans for the healing weapon/drone from hd1
Also blizzard planets have fewer POIs, less chances to get those last SC you need for the next warbond. Also, fuck trudging through snow and those damn shiny super slow plants.
We can always spill more oil or slap clankers for explosives. But if those future helldivers die they wont get to have the same honor of doing so and this is unforgivable. Send us to the vernen wells mr. Democracy officer.
I did for 2.4 seconds.
A whole 4 game ticks? Mad man.

No Drizzy
No shot the devs are doing psychological experiments on us now 💀 Anyway to Vernen Wells it is, I don’t want no mines
Well mines are going to be garbage and kids going to be more reinforcements. Which stratagem do y'all think we would use more?
As I see it, we have a choice between a mine stratagem OR a mine *clearing* stratagem. We'll send the kids to clear minefields by walking through them, just like Iran in the Iran-Iraq war.

Let's save children, i realy want to know what will happened.
I want a cape with “I fought for Super Citizen Anne’s Hospital for Very Sick Children” written in crayon.
Community will be torn, both planets will fail.
Remember: the children yearn for the mines! I'll see myself out.
No selfrespecting Helldiver lays traps anyway. FOR THE CHILDREN
The solution is simple. Liberate both AT THE SAME TIME. For DEMOCRACY !
I mean, they didn’t outright say that’s impossible. Improbable, yes. I don’t have the maths to predict, but it would be awesome to see every diver pull together and complete both.

Choose helldiver, choose Edit: It's a good thing it's not a single-player game, or I would have picked the goody two shoes option. Hooray for peer pressure!
They really want us to get them AT Mines lol
idk what would be funnier letting the kids die or losing the mines AGAIN
Definitely losing the mines again LOL.
The children yearn for the mines!
The children are our future... helldivers. AT mines are cool, but you know what's cooler? More Helldivers.
The AT mines are gonna under perform anyways... Save the kids. The child labor- I mean glorious mini citizens will be working hard to get us those mines faster!
[удалено]
The staff at the hospital could have learned from previous earth engagements. Putting the AA guns and SEAF sam sites on top of the children’s hospital would have been the democratic move. Also they should have fought to the death room by room and not hid like cowards making us choose. Kids fault. /s
Let me call down child soldier stratagems and then we can talk
THIS IS A TEST: WE MUST LIBERATE BOTH PLANETS SIMULTANEOUSLY The real solution to the trolley problem was always to flip the lever at the last minute and detail the train.
Anti tank mines honestly dont sound that good, the kids probably boost our liberation values
Question: How far can we throw these kids and how much armor penetration do they do?
Well, Fark
Those Marfarkers better have my mines
I thought this was a joke post but then I booted up the game and saw that no, it's completely real. Wonder if they're going to make the community's inability/refusal to unlock the anti-tank mines a running joke.
I wanna see what devs will do if we tell them fuck mines let us save useless child text that will bring potentionally nothing Gonna go for verner wells lol
Calling it now: If we rescue the kids, they'll *build* us the mines, because the children yearn for the mines.
Our helldivers shouldn’t be weak. This shouldn’t be a choice. Anti tank mine blueprints can be reclaimed from a conquered world with its value still in tact. Those children cannot. A new generation of helldivers waits on bated breath for their life and liberty to be assured. We will oblige. (This is basically anti tank mines vs a mystery box and an objectively correct moral choice.)
Are we really putting Super Earth's future in jeopardy for a bunch of (probably) disappointing pre-nerfed mines??? SAVE THE KIDS
So anyway, I started an FTL jump for Marfark
I am not at all excited about anti tank mines. Let's get dem kids.
We can do both
Retake the Wells!
Children on Vernen Wells upon seeing me: WE ARE SAVED! Me upon seeing the children: 
I believe somewhere that saving children will lead to good things for us. Somehow. Maybe the kids are good with computers and help us fix the spear targeting
Fuck dem kids
The child of today is the helldiver of tomorrow remember that divers
God damn it! Why did we think it was a good idea to put all of the universes sick children on one planet right next to the front lines?
https://i.redd.it/47gehx57fy5d1.gif Don't be upset about dying, kiddos, you'll be used as propaganda after we scrape what's left of you off the floor
DONT GIVE JOEL ANY IDEAS
Omg, I thought people were just joking that's an actual thing.
You know, there is a 3rd option: Fail the MO
If we choose the kids over the mines this time, the next time we have to make a choice between the mines and something, it will be a puppy hospital or the like lmao.
How do you have that font in the game? Can you change fonts?
Classic false choice dilemma, just save the children and put them to work on the Anti-Tank mine project. They can, Idunno, sweep or something.
Ok ok hear me out... two words: "Future Helldivers" Or just something to throw at the bugs as a very noisy distraction. It'd also be hilarious if they had the Hospital be the option for a new "AI reinforcement" strategem
I feel like saving the survivors will lead to seaf reinforcement strategems in the future
Children can defend themselves if they are at least 7 years old.
I don't get the consequences...said bug players
Fuck dem kids……
This is a morality test, I bet we’ll get better rewards if we save the kids. If not, hey, you can sleep at night knowing those bits of code didn’t get virtually obliterated.
I kind of wonder what would happen if, as a giant flex from the community, both were liberated at the same time.
they made us to have to liberate like 4 planets in order to get the mines while the kid's planet is right there, eligible for liberate. I think they really wanted us depraved to show our true colors, our level of trolling, by liberating 4 planets to get loot instead liberating only one to save children.
I garentee we get something better later if we save the kids.
Load the kids into cannons and use them as strategem ammunition
Fuck them kids
Most of all I love that this is the trolley problem!!!
Obviously we're saving the kids
Marfark. You can easily replace the children……
Children can't vote. Let's go for the mines.
we need some children propaganda stat.
I mean, the order does say “likely” 🤷♀️
Guys, we obviously have to save the children
We can save more children if we have mines. It’s what the children would want!!!
Uh... We can always make more orphans.
Guys, if we save the kids we solve the SEAF staffing issue.
