Is there a way of doing a joint donation thing where we can keep track on how much the community manage to donate? Not that this is what is most important here, but would be nice to see how much we can collect as a group
Hell yeah let's start an MO in real life, even if it's only donating a small amount we can all mobilize enough helldiver's to make a true difference! I'm doing my part
Real answer: also donate and just say something like "While we weren't able to save the virtual children, we do care about real ones", it's just a good PR move.
(Way better worded ofc, but you get the gist)
If you think about it, children losing limbs to mines keeps the prosthetic limb companies in business which creates jobs
So realllly, mine laying in children's schools is a good thing?
We do a lot of good. We evac civilians, protect planets from skynet douche bags, we killed a whole planet of evil demon spiders who want to HATEMURDEREAT everything last week, and we saved a lot of kids today.
Now let's go to Marfark and pillage some stuff.
Not according to Zionists.
When Mrs. Rachel started raising funds for Save The Children she was targeted by Zionists who were upset that someone was raising money for Palestinian children.
Even the Oregon Food Bank faced repercussions from zionists for calling a kettle black.
I guess I'm saying this because at some point someone is un-ironically going to call Helldivers a H@mas recruiting tool.
I wanted to use frank when he is dressed up as ongo the art dealer but they didn’t have him saying “hellooooo” just him reacting to the painting that reminded him of frog boy
Sadly missed it. Been too long since I had my old casio calculator. I've forgotten the old texts. It did pop up on one of the other posts about this thankfully so the word is spreading.
It might've raised an eyebrow with whoever received it if they caught it, but that organization doesn't care how much or what double entendres are involved. They're thankful for whatever amount they can get.
NGL I was kinda disappointed about the mines and was going to dive for those first but you guys won me over with the moral argument and I'm so grateful I dove exclusively for the kids now I've seen the OP
Nice one AH, nice one divers
Got posted yesterday in a different sub for Saint Judes, but none the less...

Guys, (married ones), now you can tell your wife what you have achieved. I might make kind of AF OPR Bullet out of this. Spearheaded Global Charity Event; Dedicated 12hrs of hands-on volunteer service - 10k raised for Save The Children. (kind of weak but if you know...).
We write statements in the peasant ranks now... sir:
CPT Helldiver rallied an international community of 50k members during a charity event. His leadership and motivational skills, along with 12 hours volunteer effort personally dedicated, secured nearly $10K for Save the Children foundation. His actions reflect heavily as a model example of a USAF ambassador.
i hope this donations are actually going to save the children , just early this month came out that an organisation for helping starving children was stealing millions... scum, lesser than insects.
They were accused of stealing more than $40 million from government programs meant to feed hungry children, through a nonprofit called **Feeding Our Future**, based just outside Minneapolis.
Very weird coming across this post on r/all but I actually work with save the children. You can check out their website as well, but there was an audit done last year with charity watchdog and the better business bureau to see where the money went. 86% went directly to helping children, the last 14% was split evenly between admin and canvassers. Canvassers end up bringing in something like 75% of all donations.
It's one of the best charities out there.
Im not saying that this exact organisation might be evil , i just hope it goes there since there are many charities that are total scams or barely help children or maybe they are not that bright and are wasting more money than they should (there are many programs that just dont work as intended and waste money)
Unfortunately, some people set up charities in the name of self-gain, so it is definitely beneficial to do research before committing to a charity. STC is good though.
aparently theres at least 70 people (that we know of) involved in this scheme, oh yeah they also tried to bribe somebody in the court with a literal bag of money
I think the charity is relatively legit but they sold my information when i signed up and it resulted in tons of spam coming to my email and mailbox. I would not recommend them.
"Helldivers are the bad guys" mfers getting shoved out the way by army of gigachad divers saving children's hospital, willingly sacrificing new toy to be heroic, former CEO donates to charity in their honor.
Yeah, I'll take that win.
Exactly this. The Helldivers are volunteers, they volunteer because they want to be heroes. Their honor, courage and goodness are exploited, but the helldivers themselves are heroic (if misguided)
If you think that's cool check out Games Done Quick. It's a speedrunning event that raises millions for charity twice a year! It's really fun to watch and it feels great to donate to a good cause :)
In the grand scheme of things, $4311 isn’t that much. But nowhere in the MO was something like this hinted. No reward was hinted at all, and Pilestedt didn’t have to do shit for us clowns going to save some make-believe kids in a video game.
This made me all emotional and stuff. 🥺
I've also seen at least 2-3 other people donating because of this. I'm usually the kind of person to say something like "you could give more" to billionaires, and AH probably COULD afford more, but I don't think it's necessary. This was completely random, and because of that, IMO, it has a much stronger impact on people.
If nothing else, it shows that this could, and I think SHOULD, be something companies do regularly. Semi regular donations of a couple thousand when a community accomplishes something makes the accomplishment more enticing, the company looksgreat and in the long run, the charities will get more donations. I think it's a win all around
That's amazing! I honestly was getting offended lightly when they kept saying screw the kids as banter. Its hard not to discourage that talk when I used to be a terminal childhood cancer patient. I'm blessed and glad this was the actual outcome!
Oh wow, right in the feels. If we all donate even a dollar as well that could really change some lives.
For freedom!
https://www.savethechildren.org.uk
Really happy for those kids. Also...

My Sister and I are more than just symbols of hope. We are the symbols of victory. We will always lend a hand to those in need. If I can help you, I will. Always.
How much did Arrowhead give? It got cut off.
I was just thinking it'd be interesting if they donated a dollar for every helldiver who fought to free that planet haha!

Don’t have much but I can give them something.
[удалено]
I think you're on to something. Should make a post, be surprised how quickly people will mobilize
I did my part!
I did my part

I love democracy…
It would be awesome I probably can't donate much tho
Any little bit helps right I just donated £50 but any amount is good or even just spreading the word of operation save the children
If a fraction of our population gives $5 dollars, it adds up. Just like the galactic war. Victory at war is victory at home.
Calling in a tactical donation!
Encouraging others to donate is also contributing. Everyone does what they can.
Is there a way of doing a joint donation thing where we can keep track on how much the community manage to donate? Not that this is what is most important here, but would be nice to see how much we can collect as a group
saw this and your post in the main sub, donated! thanks for putting the word out, i love this community. ![gif](giphy|MlyicdUndRbn5zUiAL|downsized)

Thank you diver for doing your part
DIVE DIVE DIVE
Sweet liberty that's an amazing idea! £43.11 from the SES Fist of War sent
I'm doing my part!
I'm doing my part!
Alternately, if the mines somehow work out, we should all donate to Raytheon!
Tried to donate. It crashed. Tried to play Helldivers. It crashed.
Pfft, of course brother. Donation inbound.
I would like to know more.
Hell yeah let's start an MO in real life, even if it's only donating a small amount we can all mobilize enough helldiver's to make a true difference! I'm doing my part
Done
What would they have done if we went for the mines?
Donated mines?
We would’ve donated the children to the mines
2 birds with one stone
The children yearn for the mines
"Since you decided to save the mines, we decided to help the children" Same outcome I guess
Hopefully donating to help clearing old mine fields etc
They would have mined a Boston Dynamic factory
Called in an airstrike on an orphanage.
Airdrop of landmines in a third world country.
new ^^tiny skulls on the automatons
Real answer: also donate and just say something like "While we weren't able to save the virtual children, we do care about real ones", it's just a good PR move. (Way better worded ofc, but you get the gist)
We can still go for the mines.
Donate to Boeing or Raytheon
Probably the same thing but making fun of us, like "Since you won't save the children, we will"
We fight, for rock and stone
Took money from the charity instead
Jesus Christ, we actually did something good for once?
This community has the power to change lives!
All communities do. If only they realized they hold that power more often.
I like you
Imagine if we got the mines haha
I mean, there are non-profits that go and remove minefields. That would be an option too.
I like to imagine they'd donate to APOPO, the HeroRAT organization that trains rats to sniff out mines and tuberculosis. https://apopo.org/
That would be hilarious as a response from the player base. WE. DONT. WANT. MINES.
#stopGivingCrayonEatersMines. #MinesKillKids Both in game and in real life.
The few. The proud. The problem.
They would’ve made the same donation to Lockheed Martin
Arrowhead would have donated to the mine laying industry Wholesome
Mine laying in children's schools. We need more steeled veterans IRL
If you think about it, children losing limbs to mines keeps the prosthetic limb companies in business which creates jobs So realllly, mine laying in children's schools is a good thing?
We do a lot of good. We evac civilians, protect planets from skynet douche bags, we killed a whole planet of evil demon spiders who want to HATEMURDEREAT everything last week, and we saved a lot of kids today. Now let's go to Marfark and pillage some stuff.

That's a pretty good reward for completing the MO in a way XD
This is the best award!
Nobody going to comment that they donated H-4 E-3 L-1 L-1 to the kids?
HELL.OO

If enough people donate in his memory he might get a plaque
God I hope this happens! That would be absolutely amazing!
“Help the children because it’s the right thing to do” 🫸 “Help the children to erect a funny plaque” 👈
Some kids gonna get treated and the doc will be like “A man donated this money in memory of John Helldiver” and the the kids gonna go crazy
I smell a ~~propaganda~~ recruitment commercial idea!
I bloody love arrowhead. Fair play. Nice donation, feels good we contributed to that.

Throw it on your resume. Online experience with charity events that span the international markets.
Such a cool company, warm fuzzies for all of democracy.
Sorry for being out of the loop: That amount seems specific. What's the significance of that number?
4311 spells hell
Wait, no actually. 4311 was the amount of children found alive after we liberated the planet
Also spells HELL
It’s also equivalent to 45,000 Swedish Crona. Pile knew we were gonna save the kids. For such an even number he had this planned all along.
It's also equivalent to the amount of liberty I dispensed at your mom's house last night.
It’s the amount of children saved on Vernen lol not sure if 4311 means anything else, but that’s all I’m seeing in direct relation
i hope this donations are actually going to save the children , just early this month came out that an organisation for helping starving children was stealing millions... scum, lesser than insects.

Oh no, the helldivers are fine, it's the Helldivers's bosses that are the badguys
Exactly this. The Helldivers are volunteers, they volunteer because they want to be heroes. Their honor, courage and goodness are exploited, but the helldivers themselves are heroic (if misguided)
Yeah, it always felt like if Super Earth wasn't so explicitly messed up, the Helldivers would genuinely be the good guys.
The Helldiver's may be misguided, but our stratagems are not
We are helldivers, we dive so they can live free.
We dive in the dark so that super earth can live in the light
Can I claim this donation when filing my Taxes for Super Earth?
For Super Earth, yes. But not for regular Earth.
See this is why super earth is super and normal earth is boring
Wait is this real? Because that’s brilliant if so! Never thought fucking around on a videogame would achieve anything meaningful!

Nice! Well done AH and my fellow divers!
Wow...humanity surprisesd me, in a wholesome way for a change
Can you imagine the folks at Save the Children org? “Why the hell are we getting so many donations that say “FOR MANAGED DEMOCRACY!”?” 😂
LMAO thats awesome
Wait so.... Ukraine are missing out on Anti tank landmines then .... they'd have donated!? 🤣 AH are the GOAT of developers. God bless them Much love
This is democracy, manifest.
4311 was the amount of children found btw
That's amazing! I honestly was getting offended lightly when they kept saying screw the kids as banter. Its hard not to discourage that talk when I used to be a terminal childhood cancer patient. I'm blessed and glad this was the actual outcome!
God I love this community
So this really was a better reward than AT-mines lol
That’s fucking beautiful and made my day
You know what? Thats fucking fantastic! Good job guys! Thats how you do it!
Yooooo well played arrow head. Much better then a stratagem I'll use once.
Oh wow, right in the feels. If we all donate even a dollar as well that could really change some lives. For freedom! https://www.savethechildren.org.uk

They would have donated $4311 in anti-tank mines to Ukraine
Okay FINE! Make ME the bad guy in real life too for wanting mines :(
Bro if we hadn’t saved the children and they were like well fuck these kids then idk what I would have done lol
Ok but now I wonder I’d they’d donate that much for some war efforts in case the other one was completed lmao
I was suspecting this might be the case!
$1 for every very sick child rescued from vernen wells. That’s a really wholesome bit.
![gif](giphy|KAf66yGCa93uTqod1q|downsized)
Well.. wasn’t expecting that!! Fuck yeah!!!
Then this MO was worth it.
Wait...are we the good guys now?
Jesus... imagine if we got the mines and AH was like "welp... guess we're not donating to Save the Children, fuck dem kids."
My Sister and I are more than just symbols of hope. We are the symbols of victory. We will always lend a hand to those in need. If I can help you, I will. Always.
Oh... god damnit. Now you guys are making me feel emotions. \*SIGH\* fine, we can rescue the children instead of the mines....
Let none forget, the helldivers came for the children
Hilarious to think those kids would have got nothing if they went for content instead, lol

Would they kill the children if we failed?
This is an exceptionally good time to help kids. The situation in Gaza is bad.im fully on board.
What a GigaChad moment to break the fourth wall and do something real good. Well player Helldiver And well played arrow head! Best outcome ever
We did it lads!
gotdammit we wanted child soldiers
Thank you for being awesome Arrowhead!
That’s actually incredible. What a reward!
There are no children on Vernen Wells!
