Really wish we could customize missions. I’d love to do one with this biome with only hunting stalkers, but also having no map available or an ion storm for maximum pain.
Played this new GREAT map yesterday, in complete forest camo, Liberator Carbine & shotgun pistol, without knowing the map first.. With 3 random and pretty new Helldivers.. i felt like i LIVED on the planet and it was AWESOME, props to the divers by my side. And WELL DONE ArrowHead, AWESOME MAP..
I had one real bad experience which was hilariously my first on this map. There was ONE path to extraction on an absolutely massive map. We were north west, it was north east. We had to run more than halfway down the map length and take a sharp turn, hugging walls and trees as four of us fumbled through the swamp in search of the damn valley that'd bring us to extract. The reason being a massive line of mountainous terrain and trees blocking what paths we could have squeezed through, with the only saving grace being my servo assisted armor allowing me to chuck a dead teammate over a rock so he could figure out part of the path. Then i eventually found the opening to get to extract. This was a MASSIVE map, and we ran out the last 15 minutes of the clock looking for the extract like that.
We're basically learning some of the lessons they did in Nam and other heavy forested battlefields. Personal weapons that you can carry, aim, and shoot yourself are more reliable than calling in air support...aside from maybe napalm. The other thing is artillery. Grab those 380mm artillery salvos and the like because those will just flatten the area.
8:52 "--A new massive planetary hazard that was jungle themed" Carnivorous vines and/or plants. Vines would grip and slow and damage you if you walk under them (unfurling from above and trying to drag the player up into the tree it's hanging from). Carnivorous plants akin to the Venus Flytrap or Pitcher plant would remain somewhat camouflaged and when triggered would cause the player to fall inside them to digest (pitcher plant) or it would snap on them and kill them (slowly). Players could be freed if another player shoots the flytrap, or be assisted up out of the pitcher plant. For flytrap and vines, players lose the ability to aim their gun, instead able to shoot in a small angle determined by the plant. Flytrap would give you a small vertical window to shoot bugs off of you as you're killed, vines would allow you to swing around ~120 degrees to shoot in front of you.
@@demonofwar1155 could have been me Yesterday, called it on a Charger Brute, threw a Stun nade and we both stood Back to watch it Blow up, to get blasted from the Tree above us. Should have clipped that Szene If i knew how
Some people have been complaining about stratagems not being very effective from tree cover but i personally love the fact that you have to essentially clear the trees with barrages before being able to effectively use stratagems. It adds to the jungle effect
2:03 Thought I was the only one getting lost WITH the map. Every other planet I know where I am at all times and how far my squad is, but this one I don't know what's past 60 meters.
I really like the map a lot, but, one thing I noticed personally is the drop in frames when killing a bunch of bugs in an area. Especially when using the flamethrower.
visually this planet might be the best but if you don’t have the satellite side object done or don’t have it at all it’s def more difficult to find loot sites because the huge trees and their roots
I've experienced alot of issues with side objectives, it'll have it cleared on the map if someone has completed it but it'll still show it not destroyed like a shrieker nest but one tip I can give with the jet pack is the smaller trees you can get into. I've layed down on a branch to snipe but not alot of mobility unless you're crouched in the center of the tree.
I love the enviroment of this planet so much. It really feels quite different from the rest of the maps in a way no other level manages to scratch The trees catching airstrikes and orbitals is a big bummer tho
I think they need to rework the airstrikes, support weapon and sentry drops to be "more smart" like it really sucks when a weapon or sentry lands on top of a mountain or something and cant do anything or when a airstrike just sends it into the side of a tree or mountain. If things were smarter where they landed or attacked it would be nice
Actual Space-Vietnam; the Stalkers are near impossible to spot when it rains (imagine if they climbed the trees). My only complaints are that the rain quality isn't too good, and that my stratagems (gas strikes) often hit the top of trees. Still, I love the aesthetic of it and prefer this over any other planet.
9:00 not sure what happen whether if it was a bug or good timing but as I was traveling in my mech fighting for my life against a hordes of bug and few charger and bile Titan a tree broke next to me as a bile Titan walk through it and it landed directly on me and exploded me inside.
Yea me too. I love the look, but I quit playing this biome after 2 games on ps5 on level 9, it was below 20 fps on performance mode and lag of picking up stuff like samples was at least a second. Tried a different host/game but same result.
I joined a 3 men squad here. One left, the other guy was a rookie, and the 3rd guy was crying. 😂 We managed to get the mission done and they all left.😂
The New Biome is interesting, but it needs some optimizations of walking paths and map generation. We found titans who couldn't leave parts of the woods, and we couldn't get into one part of the map
I swear to God I remember seeing a crystal biome in some of the early media for the game, but for the life of me I CAN NOT find it. It was like a field of giant multicolered geode like crystals, there was also an insane amount of lightning in the sky
This environment could also alleviate bots most annoying aspect (aside from bugging and shooting through walls). Accuracy in tandem with volume of fire and range due to very long un broken sightlines. Shit tonne of trees to hide behind. Lot's of place to duck and dive to get a flank.
As a Creek Crawling vet of Melevelon Creek, I can say that until Gracux gets bots constantly sending volley upon volley of blaster, rocket, and flamers there is nothing that can compare to it, much less surpass it, call me biased, but the bug planets got nothing on the western front
Atmospheric spores sucks in this biome because it makes it harder to navigate through the trees. Spore spewers and shriekers nests can no longer be destroyed from miles away due to ask the trees and looking for them with the spore modifier is a chore. Patrols with nursing spewers really help to hide their numbers. Even chargers become a bigger threat since you can't see where they're charging from.
I think it’d be cool if they added a native species to some of these planets. Be cool if there was something Ewok adjacent to add some environmental hazards
I like the new biome but, calling it the new Malevelon Creek is a bit much. MC was infamous not just for it's jungles but, for the endless onslaught of bots with little to no help from the majority of the community. It made trying to take the planet a nightmarish uphill battle and until bug can get sufficiently difficult enough to make that happen idk if any bug planet could be called the new Malevolon Creek
I doubt they will ever increase the difficulty of bugs because most casuals play exclusively bugs because they cant even handle 7bots. Flammethrower + M1 is literally the selution to all bugs problems besides Biletitans.
Amazing biome. The only drawback is the FPS drop...while I can get over 80fps in pretty much any planet @ 1080p, this one frequently drops from 60 into the mid 50's.
Wow, I cannot wait for Urban Biomes!!!... I will play whatever difficulty to play the raise the flag mission... I want to feel I'm actually Spreading Democracy not just to single trailer on a hill...lol
I’m still hoping for biome that is remnant of a super city and hopefully even one day we get to fight rebel humans 😂 but for real seeing bots and bugs in the streets of a destroyed metropolis would be epic
reasons why i prefer this... Stalkers are seen last second on your peripheral corners... Shrieker nests are harder to destroy shooting through trees wished they used more trees in the heavy nests... wished they had bigger tree trunks for holes to fit in.. so you get to destroy both the hole and trunk.... what i want more is more DARKER DAAAARKER NIGHT TIME campaign... make it a daaaaamn horror movie setting.... PITCH BLACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FFS!!!!!!
Something i found while playing this map was if theres not enemies nearby and the music has stopped you can hear some wildlife besides the bugs
I turn the music off
I've seen blue bugs sitting on the rocks! My Hunter instincts want to pick then up so bad lol
This is a very welcome change from hellmire I hate that planet
And also where are my super cookies
@@samusrox I ate them ; - ;

I thought they were free ; - ;
2-3 weeks for shipping from super earth straight to your destroyer 🤝
The jungle biome is so cool! I love the erupting vents that you can shoot.
You mean the anthills?
@@smallpeople172You mean the burning ant fart?
The jungle hazard should've been big venus fly traps 😂
Really wish we could customize missions. I’d love to do one with this biome with only hunting stalkers, but also having no map available or an ion storm for maximum pain.
Call it like combat simulations or something, it'd be cool
Hell they should do this as a simulation type thing we could do as a way to practice missions. Also should give us a wave based horde mode

Sentries are incredible on this map too.
Played a few missions in new biome today. Its extra fun. Even more with Viper Commando stuff.
not really a difference

Sounds like Catachan, I love it.
The Trees blocking my Eagle Airstrike and 500kg did cost me dearly already.
Real LOLOL
Someone called in a 500 and killed me because it hit a tree close to me above my head
I just bring spear and hope for the best
Eagle Barrage works well on this map.

I thought it was just the jungle we saw on Meridia pre-super colony. But it’s cool that it’s something completely different. Dagobah type vibes

I honestly feel like the environment itself IS the modifier because eagle strikes are hit/miss with how much brush blocks the strikes. It’s great 😄
the only issue i see is that the biom is not green enough.
Yeah thank the devs, they are saving ur eyes❤😂
@@ThoughtsMantle predator hunting grounds has a nice color balance. I would love to see this in helldivers.
Now we need a full urban map with high buildings and maybe an extract on top of a building
“This is the only jungle biome”
The fucking automaton planet with complex strategem plotting and AA defenses:
Thankfully they made Bore Rock part of the MO because I wouldn’t have been able to play on this beauty of a planet otherwise
Now we need a Helldivers 2 version of Good Moring Vietnam.
yeah, that would be so funny, and american
I am looking forward to fighting the Automatons on this planet type. Imagine Factory Striders knocking down trees.
On PS5 this is the only place ive had frame rate issues consistently
Yea me too. I love the look, but I quit playing this biome after 2 games on ps5 on level 9, it was below 20 fps on performance mode and lag of picking up stuff like samples was at least a second. Tried a different host/game but same result.
It was awesome to meet you easy. -Montana
Ayyy Montana! Thanks for running some games with me on the new map! 🤝

Uuhhh how do you stand on the bridge and watch your ship travel when you pick a apot on the map to move to?

Can confirm, the ppl in the discord are all super wholesome and use comms well, 10/10, you don’t even need a mic
Me looking at the trees in Gacrux: *loads liberator carbine* did that bush just move?
“There is only one enemy that can do this”
for now
I swear to God I remember seeing a crystal biome in some of the early media for the game, but for the life of me I CAN NOT find it. It was like a field of giant multicolered geode like crystals, there was also an insane amount of lightning in the sky
That sounds amazing
I want swamp alligator bug that pulls you under the water if you’re not paying attention
I wish I could play but the game keeps crashing within 2 to 3 minutes into mission
At least the shriekers get stuck in the trees like my strategems. Really cool map.
3:25 damn lucky guess dude

We’re so back in nam baby, just waiting for a napalm orbital
If this is a jungle then what biome is planets like Meissa?
This is my favorite planet so far. Love it.
Yes, it's an amazing biome. I can't stop playing it!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again (even though I know it would be hard to do) but an urban or suburban biome would be awesome.
Top tier map. Would eagle air strike trees again. Now is the time for the 380 deforestation orbital!
Wait, is your outro “Jort Storm”?
As a Creek Crawling vet of Melevelon Creek, I can say that until Gracux gets bots constantly sending volley upon volley of blaster, rocket, and flamers there is nothing that can compare to it, much less surpass it, call me biased, but the bug planets got nothing on the western front

Flammethrower + M1 is literally the selution to all bugs problems besides Biletitans.
If there is a Helldivers vs Predator crossover this biome would be perfect
We need RIB boats to navigate rivers or small patrol boats and do hit and run missions!
A cave biome would be badass.
Amazing biome. The only drawback is the FPS drop...while I can get over 80fps in pretty much any planet @ 1080p, this one frequently drops from 60 into the mid 50's.
A city scape bot mission would be cool.
Just finished an opp on it, the jetpack goes crazy on it
maybe a gigantic Venus fly trap that can eat the player if you get to close
When the trees start speaking bug
I have ptsd from gacrux
I threw three separate Eagles and all of them hit a tree, total hellscape, I highly reccomend Orbitals
Also, this has strong Princess Bride vibes. Were there Rodents of Unusual Size? 4:57
FPS drop when each tree breaks and fall haha
Am I the only one that had the thought that this planet reminded me of Endor from star wars?
Oh yeah. Def some Endor vibes here
Idk if you have played ewok hunt from battlefront 2, but stalkers and this new map at night is scary af.
Wow, I cannot wait for Urban Biomes!!!... I will play whatever difficulty to play the raise the flag mission... I want to feel I'm actually Spreading Democracy not just to single trailer on a hill...lol
Reminds me of Dagobah from Star Wars.
Rain and spores combined a very limited visibility. Loving the new biome.
I’m still hoping for biome that is remnant of a super city and hopefully even one day we get to fight rebel humans 😂 but for real seeing bots and bugs in the streets of a destroyed metropolis would be epic
Cyborgs were human, we might be fighting them at some point
We need a redwood biome planet and a swamp world
Space ptsd update looks good
I wonder if one day we’ll have an urban biome
Vietnam. Somebody had to say it.
That's a swamp. Looks a lot like the swamp of Valheim. Even the fire eruptions are similar
Yooo, time to get some scrap iron, we upgrading our gear!
New Jungle Biome drops! 😍
Major Order sends us to fight bots.... 🤪
Quicksand & landslides as environmental hazards?
Can't wait to liberate Dagobah from the clankas!
Looks like im going home again
My 500kg keeps hitting the tree line 😂
Welcome to the junge helldivers
I love its design. I got sick of spending time on Estanu and Crimsica, we've been there for months.
The title new Mavalon creek has never made me not want to play something so bad in my entire life. That fucking meme was dumb af.
There will never be another Creek. You failed with this clickbait title.
It's GLORIOUS. Screw Hellmire, if the bugs want it... they can have it.
reasons why i prefer this...
Stalkers are seen last second on your peripheral corners...
Shrieker nests are harder to destroy shooting through trees
wished they used more trees in the heavy nests...
wished they had bigger tree trunks for holes to fit in.. so you get to destroy both the hole and trunk....
what i want more is more DARKER DAAAARKER NIGHT TIME campaign...
make it a daaaaamn horror movie setting.... PITCH BLACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FFS!!!!!!
Yeah I walked right up to this thing and just shot it 😂 4:57
We need a planet that is just a bug colony basically like you are inside a ant colony
Meridia
You think it's hard to see what's in the distance? Bring a 380 or walking barrage and see what happens! ;)
comment for the agoritm. i love this planet too.
Some type of debuff like tall trees negatively affecting targeting accuracy for stratagems would be awesome!
Stalker is the real predator in this biome
Love the jungle!!!
What planet is this on?
EASY E YOUR ALIVE❤ LETS GOO WHEN YOUR NEXT DROP
Can't wait to fight bots in this biome
God I hope it doesnt become like that cause we will never finish another major order that way XD
God help you if you run into stalkers on this one
Love this biome but my 500kgs will not go off or work on this map
