- The New Automaton Base Defending mission, known as "Evacuate High-Value Assets" Is Suuper fun! I love this new type of defending mission, this is how a lot of them should work imo
Enjoy!

Just glad that the automatons are so dumb they never thought to push the door button.
😂
The doors are guarded by a secret pro-democracy handshake known only to Helldivers.
They can literally just drop in the base
@@Raysunghwa I think it might be related to destroyed drop ship . Notice how he didnt shoot them down and had 0 strugglers in base. We (me and 3 discord guys) , shot them on spawn and had to kee p a person in base just for those lol
Basically , when you shoot down dropships , they go off course and don't kill heavy units . So those can land where they shouldn't.
this is how i figure out the bots are back lmao since im at work during the day
Abandon what are u doing right now, and join us brother! We need your strength to push them back!
But if he don’t got money for his internet bill he can’t 😭
I guess OhDough is right, he never thinks the Automatons are fully eradicated, since AT-FS Walkers were JUST coming out.
@@yoorface4680not everyone can be unemployed brother
I've seen a dog in a defense Mission. That means that the Automatons have freed the Cyborgs.
In this mission type, it's Mortars ALL THE WAY.
Mortars can just stay safely hidden away and keep firing until they're out of ammo. Because the enemies only come through one small opening, the EMS mortars just completely shut down all progress by the bots into the base. Regular mortars can then just mop up.
EMS goated as always.
Idk why I didn’t think of this , I was using autocannon and turret . Thanks I’ll use this now
Just ran this way all four of us with ems and reg mortar, I didn't shot a single bullet from my main weapon.
Yeah so Arrowhead is going to look at the data and adjust it to make it harder. We didn't even have mortars and it still felt too easy lol
The bot drops are pretty buggy at times, dropping into the base behind you or on/in mountains.
Mortars are amazing for these missions. Got in a group with randoms, we had 2 mortars + 2 ems, and the bots never got past the 1st checkpoint.
great for solo too
Every bot you kill is a bot killed for those of us who are still at work and school. God speed.
😂 I'm at work and was going to do some shopping, now i'm gonna do it tomorrow 😂
Lmao, I'm currently in school, and I just saw this along with the new bot strider enemy.
@@zazasmoker4203 The Factory Strider has been around for roughly a week now no?
@@thegrunch6448 I haven't played in a week 😭
@@zazasmoker4203 My condolences
They should add a visor/goggle equipment slot so you can use thermal vision on low visibility planets, night vision for night missions, binoculars for recon, or just a visor that lets you highlight the enemy you are looking at with some basic weakness pop ups on the side of the screen. Have them be toggle-able and you pick one of them from your loadout screen like other equipment.
If they do anything like that I hope it doesn’t affect cosmetic, I already don’t like how some of the armor with good perks look
Would you use them if they replaced a stratagem you already use? I don’t feel like they would introduce something like this unless it was a stratagem.
Man if thermals were a thing in any way smoke strikes would be so dope to use them with.
@@lightsourcexthat’s a good point. I can see a gun with a thermal scope being added as the first iteration. The weapon’s stats can balance against the Vision
@@commandercors maybe we get more flexibility ^^ with upgrading stuff^^ so we can upgrade helmet slot to have something that helps :D that would make it atleast interresting to build some stuff... some stuff is a choose between 2-3 some arent... like an amor extra ammo slots/jumping power etc..
Somehow The Automaton Returned
Lmao
Yeah love that haha
I love this… but it makes me mad at that series at the same time haha
Why somehow? As I know a map of planets on ship shows sector that is controlled by superearth. I'm confident we did not destroy them, but pushed them out of the sector...
Although automatons return is anyway kinda strange because they said in one of transmissions that they don't want to fight and just want to leave, but they need some time to prepare for it sooo.. ://
@@NIK1357 It's a reference to one of the shitty Disney Star Wars Movies. The one where they just say "Somehow Palpatine returned."
The return of the automatons AND a new mission type?
I’m almost glad they’re back just so I can break them apart again
Emplacement stratagems might be really fun on this map, you rarely have such ideal terrain to use them during regular missions so I never bring them.
Mortars, gas, 500kg, and QCannon/auto cannon. Because they are funneled so nicely, the gas works well.
In group play I figure everyone rushes to close all the gates.
Everyone bring mortars and EMS ( or other hard hitting sentries ) + orbital laser and support weapon.
Could be a cakewalk.
As for the illuminates, my guess is they have too many code bugs to squash right now.
if you get 3 quasar cannons down you can shoot them off one by one, by the time you get to the 1st of the 3 again its cooled down
Modern problems require Napoleon era solutions
that weird swimming animation after the knockback is caused by the water you can see in camera(it actually extends under the ground, since most water isn't "to fit") - the explosion was the right angle to push you under the ground, your diver hit the water level and went into a "surfacing" animation as they popped back up
actually seems like it made the recovery easier lol
Honestly it is weird though, afaik none of the maps actually have water on them as a feature so why are they underneath the maps at all? could just be a weird oversight
Knew the bots will be back shortly. I betted they'd either be back the next day or come back with the illuminates
Who did you betted?
Pretty sure he just meant he was just really confident in his guess lol
@@DroSama-jr6te yeah I know it was a joke 😂
I was thinking we might have seen some cyborg reinforcements helping them. Then the warbond would drop, and it would be deemed a way to deal with them.
Just want to say i appreciate the big red arrow in the thumbnail, i couldn't find the main subject on the picture
Quite fun this mission is, especially compared to the other defense missions of the past. I use a similar loadout and swap out the autocannon for the AMR.
4:13 I agree! I thought April 11th was going to have the Illuminate show up, and the Automatons later.
Hell yes, a 20-minute mission, finally. Not too long, but ample time to complete.
I saw Stodeh and Tomo play this with another dude on helldive diff. Looked like insanely more units. But you also have a very nice tactic so you just might make it look easy lol. Nice gameplay
I had forgotten how annoying bugs were, I'm so glad the bots are back
The more I play the more I hate the bugs ye. The spanwrate of spewers is soooo overtuned in helldive
Weird, I enjoy bugs more than bots tbh. Bots aren't bad but I love fighting swarms.
Polar opposite for me. Bugs don't rocket you repetitively
The bots are hard but they never suceeded on making me rage as the bugs did, hopefully they wont go out fast this time
Yeah same. I used to grind bugs for a long time and last few week i have been playing only against bots and i have never been calmer. Against bots it's from calm to mild sweat depending on difficulty (i can solo 7 barely but done many helldives in groups) but against bugs it's a lot more sweating. Nests are much more difficult than factories and i haaaaaaaate hunters and shriekers (if their nest is close). Also, bots are always basically same where as there are many different combinations of bugs on different planets. Sometimes there are few medium armored bugs but a shitload of small swarmers and heavy armored on top of that. Sometimes there are few swarmers but shitload of medium to heavy armored and then theres those times when there are a shitload of bile fatasses puking from every direction.
I really dig the new mission type, it was a very much needed variation.
I love this new mission type. Played it all day yesterday. My favourite loadout is EAT (can shoot down 2 dropships almost every wave), HMG Emplacement (it shreds through every enemy except the tanks, but tanks sometimes drop down with vents turned to me, and they die before they can turn), and both mortars. Just calling down EAT, supplies, HMG and mortars on CD.
Also running with +2 grenades armor, 'cos the grenades are actually pretty solid vs the tanks if nobody else is dropping a tank-buster strategem on them. Looking forward to trying out the new thermite grenades on the tanks.
Did my first one of these missions yesterday as a 3 man Suicide Mission. We all brought mortar and EMS Mortar with shield and quasar and it worked pretty well.
The HMG emplacement with the shield backpack is a very good combo for this mission, when I'm with a team in usually the only one who brings it but it really makes the mission a breeze, the emplacement shreds through the berserkers and the devastators
Quasar Cannon feels great in this mission. When it comes off CD, I kept swapping cannons and shooting down dropships. I had a great time with it!
a few things about the mission
when the doors break they still have a hitbox that your bullets hit but bots still walk through the texture like its not there
the bots that got stuck on that lip at the start can call in reinforcements and they can drop ON TOP of extract and start attacking the generators immediately. its important to clear them out honestly
my favorite build for this mission is shield bubble and ems mortar, an airstrike and quasar cannon. main gun is sickle and i bring impact nades to finish off tanks close range easily
Mortars/EMS mortars are great, the HMG emplacement is basically 2 amrs slapped on top of a turret and works pretty well for that, 110 rocket pods still work wonders for the massive amounts of tanks that spawn on multiplayer, and as shown, autocannon is the goat.
Haven't played it yet, but this map just looks amazing for turrets. Rocket and autocannon turrets seem like they would be great at that first spot you camped. The shield generator dropped behind the gate close to the camp spot could protect both them and the gate. Could be a fun place to use the mounted turret as well. Might be interesting to see if the tesla tower works from behind the gate. And finally, seems like the mortar sentries would both be very effective; zero self risk as long as the gates are up.
My buddy and I duo’d this. He had a quasar on the right side and shot down drops. He called in a second one when able and juggled them to kill drops in quick succession. I held the left with AMR and supply pack, leaving supply drops for my buddy. Ems mortar was amazing for slowing down the waves and setting up hulks. Laser made for a great 4th for me, but I expect regular mortar would also be amazing. Super fun map.
I love the new mission type.
It's really useful having a team and having the two vantage points so the tanks present their nice glowy weak spots at one player who can pepper it.
Much nicer than usual when we are all just running in the same direction and the tank doesnt need to turn as much.
group play on HD dificulty is chaos, countless hulks n tanks plus they can land on the cliff above where u was at the start . another note is tanks can drop inside the compound where the dropship lands.
I used EMS Mortar and the Quaso, but I held position near the generators up the ramp on the right side where the dropships were arriving and shooting them down, it seems the pathing is kind of buggy if you hold that position because the bots will try to swarm you but there's seemingly no way for them to get up onto the platform so they'll just stand there menacingly. Calling down extra Quasos to just swap between them to quickly take down dropships was hilarious too.
Noti gang what’s up man! 🔥
I JUST WOKE UP MAN, CANT HAVE NOTHIN
Well done. Try the mortar twins, the dreadnaught heavy will through those strats over that hill, and if u really want that gold star... Minefield
Judging by the Stodeh and Tomographic squad video, yeah there's waaay more bot drops in group play. I counted at least 6 dropships for each drop wave, maybe more. Edit: and thanks again for showing the way for us Solo divers!
I just started playing this game about 3 days ago and it's crazy to me that people can solo the hardest difficulty.
I love to play the mortar on this mission, the sound is just so satisfying
I'd love me some tower defense any day of the week.
SWEET LIBERTY MY THUMBS!
My thumbs are screaming 🗣️🗣️GET SOME GET SOME (HELLDIVER MANIACAL LAUGH)
I'd love to see some sort of Stratagem launcher support weapon. Something that would allow you to place call downs at a pretty solid distance. Maybe gives an extra use in place of an actual support weapon.
There's the servo armor that gives you +30% throwing range iirc.
Servo assisted throw helps in throwing those strategems further. Throwing during a dive also extends that throw distance.
The jetpack does exactly what you want
I want an arm mounted sling shot that takes up the secondary weapon slot that gives massive range for grenades/strategems and has a targeting computer in it so you can see the tragectory.
this is one of the best missions ever! I love everything about it!
I think next we will see a similar mission setting for the Termicide sites, since one of the broadcasts say we will be tasked with trying to turn them off to prevent the ongoing mutations that Terminids are going through.
They tend to get stuck at that right side wall, the drop ships on that side make them either path towards the gate or towards the wall and then they just chill there
I always use ems mortar and regular mortar , recoil cannon for taking down dropships and orbital laser . Throw down resupply and extra mortars after cooldown and it’s pretty easy . Especially with a team .
Love this new map it’s very cool lot think of all the different strategies you can put in place either solo or with a team!
For loadouts, I love the double mortar strategy. You can tuck them away in a spot where they can reach the whole base, but it's impossible for the bots to get line of sight on them. So they get to empty their entire ammo bank into the enemies! Plus, the walls keep the bots away, negating the mortars biggest downside - their tendency to target bots standing right next to your friends. Last mission we had two people who brought both mortars, and the bots couldn't even make it to the last gate - and they only made it through the one before that because we opened it for them!
you can also bring quasar+eat and destroy every dropship as they come by cycling them, + a mortar as backup and you're chillin
@takibo do you prefer autocannon to quasar? Quasar is def stronger but fire rate is hella low. I've been switching back and forth and idk which I prefer. Quasar with slugger has been working well with me even with the recent nerf
I just wished they added a new sound track after the invasion for a more menacing effect of the bots are back mayday mayday we are under a fleet invasion
I think they will release the new enemy orbital bombardment planetary effect soon, that has been leaked.
If you have a team full of quasar canons you can shoot most of the drops ships before the automatons can even drop
I usually run EAT and Quasar, both mortars. The fallen drop ships usually block out crush them
This is so fun mission! I like to play with 3 or 4 people and just spamming mortars. I think that we had much more waves coming than you in the start.
Wonder if mines are actually good with the forced choke points.
The "mission accomplished" is a meme reference to the Iraq war, there's going to be more bots we don't know about.
Did the devs actually say this, or are you just speculating? It’s not as though no one uttered the words “mission accomplished” in any other context, let alone prior to the Iraq war.
That's just an interpretation
@@KazekanAgiel It's not just saying "mission accomplished" though. It's saying that when its obvious that the mission hasn't been accomplished. Also, remember when the president of Super Earth knowingly and falsely accused the Iluminate of having WMDs as an excuse to declare war? Satire can still be satire without having the creators specifically come out and say "Yeah, this was an obvious jab at the US."
@@Omni0404some people need things to be spelled out specifically for them to grasp subtext
@bbodyboi Or rather, some people need to understand the context under which a statement of fact is seemingly being implied. Saying that something "is" vs. "likely is" are two totally different things. The former implies a fact, while the latter implies an opinion. Also, your condemnation of my ability to understand satire is solely based on the idea that I'm fully aware of the game's lore. I (and I'm sure many others) don't remember everything (or anything) the President of Super Earth said, let alone that the game says "Mission Accomplished" even when it actually wasn't. Some of us just play the damn game to shoot things with friends. If you want to immerse yourself in the lore, fine, but don't act like everyone else does too.
For this mission I like taking both Mortars, Quasar for tanks and HMG emplacement - it basically shoots ARM rounds, shredding all devastators and hulks.
What do you use to record your gameplay?
The ems mortar, normal mortar, rocket launcher and automatic Canon are great in a team, the other pick up the quar Canon and a shield and give them away with his second drop to shoot the ships.
My squad has been using both the Mortar and EMS Mortar sentries, just rotate the cooldowns and chuck them back towards the starting area and then the squad can play up ahead of them
Me and 2 other friends used turrets and 1 with a quazar I took a tesla tower and my 1 friend brought an orbital barriage 380 anf got 285 kills whilst I got like 150+ and we beat it it was awesome. Love this mission!!!! ❤
This mission is indeed a lot of fun, especially in groups. With a lot of sentries or mortars you can do so much carnage in those chokepoints.
Although you got the "easy" map, because on this one about a third of the bots aren't even coming into the base, and instead are shooing at a solid wall.
I only played it once with another guy at level 7, it was very fun. Yeah, we both had EMS mortar and mortar and they never destroyed the last door. Way more interesting mission than the dreaded civilians rescue.
do u prefer scorcher over jar 5? is it less jank? I mean im still a ways off unlocking it, just curious.
Mortars are OP for this mission. Honestly I was also really liking some of the mid size barrages like the 120 and walking barrage. Nice to use when you get overwhelmed and need to fall back
Turrets gonna go crazy
Always love your calm mindset. You broke your kill record recently, but am curious what's your bot kill record? It'd be a fun challenge too
I'm curious what it would be like if a couple people brought the shield generator relay and alternate coverage of the gate. Might reduce the pressure coming in.
As others have said Mortars are amazing on this. Rocket pods are also my goto as they 1 shot tanks and hulks if they can hit. Quasar is nice but I think autocannon is better and then I like the orbital barrage as its on a short cooldown and does good damage against everything.
I ran with a group this morning they were dropping all over the mountains and like 5 hot drops at once it was madness. Ems mortar, and mortar make short work of them.
Might be a good mission to use the anti tank minefield on.
Where’d you get that armor? Isn’t it the heavy armor with the extra stim perk? Idt I’ve seen it in any warbond.
We did this one with mortars, turrets and shields, with 2 guys firing the EAT's on the dropships on cooldown. My favourite mission type now.
I had 20 + tanks dropped in when i played this mission set on 9 with friends yesterday. Solo looked like a cakewalk compared to the four stack
When wearing armor that allows you to carry extra grenades or stems. I wish the resupply would give you 3 instead of 2.
Hey man it would be nice to see you do a whole operation in one video
I can see a lot of strategms working here. In solo, I might go with autocannon, orbital laser, ems mortar, and tesla tower.
In a group setting though I might go autocannon/quasar, minfield, shield generator (emplacement), and tesla tower
ngl I'd love just a one off or limited "Tower Defense" type of mission / mini game where you can take all the Turret Strategems and defend waves.
Nice
From what I've heard from people who played the technical beta, the illuminate faction is already ready to launch. They might be tweaking a thing or two as game balances itself with player feedback, but most likely they will release it once playercount starts to fall off. Most likely they will release them with the vehicles update so people have new stuff to unlock even if they dont like the new faction.
in a group of 3, we faced no less than 10 annihilator tanks and 8 hulks. if we didnt have ems mortars and regular mortars, we wouldve been so screwed with the enemy density,,,
I imagine it would be really nice to have a quazar AND thr autocannon here. You shoot a drop ship down with a quazar then switch to autocannon to do cleanup rinse and repeat
i think we will see terminids and automotons on the same planet before we see new enemies, their territories are moving closer to each other. but also the automotons are getting closer to their home planet so idk
Yeah I just played this earlier it was intense I love it
It feels way more chaotic in squad, i actually think this is the first mission where they balance around number of players, i swear even on dif 7 party of 4 there was infinetely more dropships, like a constant stream of them
As a xbox player
I have to watch you guys having all the fun without us
I regret my decision
I feel so bad for you
game exclusivity is sad
yk what a cool strat would be for this. Tesla tower with a shield over it at the entrance and then an ems in the back to cover it . last slot could be whatever you want
This new mission type is by far my favorite already and I've only tried it twice. I was talking to some fellow helldivers about wanting a Helm's Deep style defense mission and here we go, sections of walls to defend a few days later. Love it. I'm hoping for something similar for the bugs, which will be VERY Starship Troopers-like if we get it.
Edit; Also my squad learned quickly that the gates take friendly fire damage. EMS mortars and orbital EMS strikes were doing a number on the enemy. We also shot down over half of the dropships as they arrived, so we didn't have a lot of pressure. So as for stratagem recommends;
Anything EMS and lots of it. Personal weapons that can kill devastators and heavies. And maybe 1 guy focused mainly on clearing the small bots that do minimal damage to the gates.
I've only had failed experiences with this mission type so far lol, appreciate the comment. I'll have to figure out something for it when I play it again because going in with randoms hasn't been successful.
@@JacobKelley-vw1pw It's available from difficulty level 5 and up on defense order planets. Wish you luck! Encourage your squad to bring lots of EMS and you should be fine, I think. Anti-air focus might pay off as well, as there's so many enemy units you can freeze in place by crashing their dropships.
In a 4 man (even not a gamer party) it's pretty easy.
The left side is the way to go, they get stuck on that wall, but sometimes they can get up on the cliff above you and that can suck.
Will be trying this solo as well, with the possibility of defense+ this mission this could be an easier and faster way to complete 3 missions.
Also also, most of the time those are not the anhilator tanks so grandes when they are close is the way to go.
Shield generator + Ems motor + 500kg + Gernade launcher is a w combo
Not a coincidence they came back as soon as I left
I think best is 3 guy on the main door and 1 guy on the extract platform with quasa + EAT just to kill drop ship there. For me with pub team that work quite well and easy mission
Regarding turrets play only with the EMS one. Since the other one will damage the walls.
I had a gut feeling the automatons would be back sooner rather than later. Still waiting for the illuminate
Auto cannon sentry shield Riley eagle ear strike are pretty good too,EAT,CANNONS.
This mission is pretty tough with a squad. It feels like as soon as they push past the first wall, they can't be stopped.
2 mortars (regular + EMS), auto-cannon/quasar/EAT, and you are pretty much set in group missions
It's Tower Defense. Full squads just start the mission and move up to the first gate, close it, and hold it with mortars and anti air. Also you can actually use mines on this mission if you want. Throw them right outside the first gate after closing it. If they get through the first gate, move back and close the second gate, rinse, repeat, profit.
I love the way it says personl hellpod system on your left arm when you zoom in details i seen in this game i have never seen in any other game
I played it on hard solo and I am liking it, first try too. It was super easy, no stress, nothing. Just shot down the drop ships which hindered the autamatons even more so the big units couldn't come forward most of the time. Awesome ^^ Can't wait to play this on Helldive. But sadly, the reward isn't that big for the time invested. BUT for this mission it's completely fun!
I want that on Terminids as well. Damn, that gives 100% Starship Trooper vibes! BUUUUUUUGGGSSSS brrrt brrrt brrrt :D
Stay crunchy.
Try orbital gas stratagem, i really want to see how you will utilities it. It's also really powerful, just not instant like 500 other strikes
