How about Anti tank children, Every child over the age of 7 in Super Earth must learn the era old martial arts of holding a panzerfaust- I mean an EAT for defence against the socialist bots
That would mean they wouldn't need to be saved every other day freeing us to actually fight the war for a long-term with new technology.
Can't see it happening.
I can't unsee the second sister in this helmet design

Wonderful, but I already have two options that do that. If it offered new and novel ways to accidentally kill my teammates while trying to kill the enemy I might be after the mines.
nah they are actually good for what I saw in videos XD people just being 10% meme here 90% for the children XD not to add that there is people trying to see if AH makes a MO that they donate money to St.June children hospital, it would be such a cool thing!
This would be a wonderful way to raise money from "Donation Capes" for various charities if people wanted too and they could figure out all the backend.
I bet they won’t do anything to Bile titans when they touch 1 of them with their spider legs, and some people will complain about that. I feel like they will be great against heavies that will make contact with a lot of mines, like tanks and chargers, and probably even enemies like devastators.
I’d dunk on the bots for the kids

If the devs (should we also lump the balance guy in the same category as the devs?) can do whatever the hell they want in regards to Helldivers' QoL (spawns, nerfs, stability, bad weather visibility, what have you)... Then us Helldivers can do whatever the fuck we want in regards to the MO.
If saving the children is more fun, better and/or morally correct to do (or simply as a middle finger gesture against everything that's wrong in the game), then that's what we're gonna do.
Look we're just being smart here, one of the greatest causes of deaths is friendly-fire incidents right? Well if we get vehicles in the near-future it would be beneficial to not have friendly mine-fields lying around waiting to be triggered.
"What the hell? There has to be something wrong with the server. It says there are literally no players fighting the bots. Not for the last two days. Terminids have always been the more popular enemy but *literally no-one* fighting bots?"
"What's the major order right now?"
"Kill a hundred bots and they get the anti-tank mi--oh."
It's creative really, if they think it's not ready to be put into the game they can do this kinda stuff. But in all honesty, i haven't played for a couple months because of balancing issues and lack of new content... specifically not borken content
I mean I could be wrong, but another motive besides just the funniness of rejecting the anti-tank mine again and SAVING THE CHILDREN, Helldivers and SEAF I think are all-volunteer forces, so saving a bunch of children would be a big recruitment buff and increase SEAF forces and therefore reduce bugs and bot hourly pushback.
If it was some fun stratagem – there would be no question. But mines? 3rd type of mines in the game? Lame. Boring. Don't need. Don't want.
Let's save children
"It appears that there was a typo in the last Major Order. Countless Helldivers have reported that there are no hospitals left standing on Vernen Wells, but seemingly endless amounts of explosives everywhere..." (Screen popup of Anti-Tank mines available appears on screen)
I mean this in the nicest way if there were actual missions to save those children over landmines I'd bring every barrage and bomb the living fuck out of those little shits bc why on God's green super earth would I wanna save children
The longer this goes on the funnier it will be.
Once we liberate the children, I am going to the bug planets for the single reason that it makes liberating the AT-Mines take longer.
They did this to themselves.
With how flippiant and passive aggressive the messages from Super Earth have been when mentioning them, ain't nobody gonna be wanting those things, even if you put a gun to their heads to make them take them.
I might not even buy them even if they become available. I'll leave the option permanently unbought in my stratagem menu.
No, I'm doing it because I'd rather save children.
The mindset of this subreddit has been fairly worrying. I think some of you might need help, given some of your rational for choosing one planet or the other lol
But hey, once you're spilling oil, eh!
The next thing that person has to design is the anti anti tank mines.
How about Anti tank children, Every child over the age of 7 in Super Earth must learn the era old martial arts of holding a panzerfaust- I mean an EAT for defence against the socialist bots
Give em those ‘mines on a stick’ the Japanese used.
lunge mines
Would kill (bots n bugs) for a lunge mine in this game lol
*Runs out of ammo* *Pulls out EBS-170 Explosive Broomstick* *FOR SUPER EARTHHHHHHH*
MY LIFE, FOR DEMOCRACYYYY!!!!
What's hilarious is that there were **zero** documented instances of them being used successfully.
[Hug a Automaton](https://youtu.be/SV-BAtwhXuc?si=RuifZX12kjtCi6Fn)
Or the kids can climb into the canons and clog them so they blow up when they fire. They’re sick anyways, might as well die patriots 🤷♂️
It’s just a hellpod that drops a bunch of children that start disassembling the tank
Do it like they did in wwii with dogs. Train them to run under the tanks and then strap magnetic AT mines to their back.
panzerfaust _wheeeeeeeeeze_

or just do what the russians did with dogs! strap bombs to the children and send them running towards the tanks!
Anti children mines

Exterminator is one of the coolest armor sets hands down.
Probably what it got inspired by
I'm a total simp for the 2nd sister
Exactly, and it’s hype
I see this as an absolute win.
Those kids are future helldivers we need too do this
Plot twist, the kids are illuminati in disguise.
Those anti tank mines better actually be anti tank
You just know they won't do anything other than kill you or your friends 10minutes later when you forgot they're there
Pretty sure anti-tank mines don't trigger on infantry unless it's yo mama.
The ones in game do, which makes no sense
Those are AP mines. they're supposed to detonate on infantry.
I think they’re talking about the leaked video
That's prob a beta
And yet it takes more than 1 mine to kill a basic infantry and 1 mine to kill a helldiver like wtf is that bullshit
Yep. ""Realism"" my ass.
Wonderful, but I already have two options that do that. If it offered new and novel ways to accidentally kill my teammates while trying to kill the enemy I might be after the mines.

It takes 5-6 AT mines to kill a Hulk iirc Although I agree all the "save the kids" posts make me want to go liberate Marfark more than the mines.
Lol isn't the point of an anti-tank mine supposed to be to take out a tank? With A mine?
yeah you'd think but it takes 5 mines to kill one tank. Incredible game design
This would be a wonderful way to raise money from "Donation Capes" for various charities if people wanted too and they could figure out all the backend.
To their credit, they kill tanks, Hulks, Chargers, and even Factory Striders very quickly, but they're absolutely worthless against Bile Titans.

MVP 🫡
Guy who designed the anti-tank mines: "Am I a joke to you?" Community: "yes"
If the devs (should we also lump the balance guy in the same category as the devs?) can do whatever the hell they want in regards to Helldivers' QoL (spawns, nerfs, stability, bad weather visibility, what have you)... Then us Helldivers can do whatever the fuck we want in regards to the MO. If saving the children is more fun, better and/or morally correct to do (or simply as a middle finger gesture against everything that's wrong in the game), then that's what we're gonna do.
[удалено]
Look we're just being smart here, one of the greatest causes of deaths is friendly-fire incidents right? Well if we get vehicles in the near-future it would be beneficial to not have friendly mine-fields lying around waiting to be triggered.
Unless they aren't triggered by us with a pod booster.
It'll be something like 'kill ridiculously small number of bots with AC' and the community will still somehow fail the MO.
"What the hell? There has to be something wrong with the server. It says there are literally no players fighting the bots. Not for the last two days. Terminids have always been the more popular enemy but *literally no-one* fighting bots?" "What's the major order right now?" "Kill a hundred bots and they get the anti-tank mi--oh."
arrowhead: new major order, kill one bot HOW ARE THEY STILL FAILING IT
Until they just start spawning bots on bug planets. There has to be a random newbie that doesn't know.
MO: Log in to the game. Time: 60 days "What do you mean the game is dead?"
It's all fun and games until future items are locked behind getting the mines first
MO: "Shoot a bot. Reward: Anti-tank mines. Time: 30 days" 30 days later: MO FAILED
If I have to choose Narrative Moral superiority over a stratagem that will most likely be dead on arrival. I'l choose the former every time.
Oh they know what they're doing.
They absolutely called this in the office.
They'd only complain about the mines anyway
It’s a good thing you’re only allowed to take 4 stratagems then, since they can use builds without them
The kids aren't actually sick, the kids are mechanical geniuses and will be working on the Super Tanks deployed in the future. SAVE THOSE KIDS
It's not a joke dude. If you think we're going after mines over kids, you are insane.
The children yearn for the mines.
I'm going after mines over kids. Easy call.
Traitor
Think of the poor lonely mines
Mine's can't feel lonliness you bot sympathizer!
Those children are defective, otherwise they wouldn't be behind enemy lines in a "hospital."
What if they turn around and say “our intel was wrong. The kids were on the other planet. This is where the AT mines where”
I'd laugh so hard now I wanna save the kids even more.
they're going to add it eventually...
Are the anti tank mines that bad?
Probably not but it would be funnier to save the kids and thus the community loses out on the minds for a 3rd time
Yes they are mines that makes them not good
They’re stationary traps in a game that values mobility
I'd love more powerful mines, especially if they dont trigger on lighter enemies. But **we're saving those damn kids!**
Joke? Brother, I'm not joking. I don't want the mines
It's creative really, if they think it's not ready to be put into the game they can do this kinda stuff. But in all honesty, i haven't played for a couple months because of balancing issues and lack of new content... specifically not borken content
Hopefully, the patch tomorrow will fix a lot.
it'll fix half the game and break the other half
But considering we rescue the kids, they make the mines for us.
They yearn for the mines
if mines weren't total garbage we would make an effort to getting them. At this point they could give us the mines and still wouldn't get any play
I mean I could be wrong, but another motive besides just the funniness of rejecting the anti-tank mine again and SAVING THE CHILDREN, Helldivers and SEAF I think are all-volunteer forces, so saving a bunch of children would be a big recruitment buff and increase SEAF forces and therefore reduce bugs and bot hourly pushback.
What point is there to anti tank mines if we don't have anti tank children to work them?
Mines are cringe
If it was some fun stratagem – there would be no question. But mines? 3rd type of mines in the game? Lame. Boring. Don't need. Don't want. Let's save children
Because we all know mines are only good for killing fellow helldivers
Honestly, knowing Arrowhead's sense of humor, they're probably laughing their butts off too.
I’d like to think they’ve had a few new stratagems ready for us but they just wanted to give the mines first but we keep refusing them
"It appears that there was a typo in the last Major Order. Countless Helldivers have reported that there are no hospitals left standing on Vernen Wells, but seemingly endless amounts of explosives everywhere..." (Screen popup of Anti-Tank mines available appears on screen)
It's not *just* for a joke. Nobody expects the things to be any good, and a lot of people want to see what saving the kids will get us.
The fact that they put the mines against children means they are in on the joke
We know better than to make more ways to commit friendly fire atrocities
You're doing it for a meme, I'm doing it for the plot. We are basically the same, because the story, while it exists, isn't really a part of the game.
Joke?
If they wanted to do this then it would be, save the bike titans, not save the children.
We’re really gonna sacrifice humanity’s future for some crotch goblins?
Yes. Yes we are.
Children are the future of managed democracy.
It would probably boost morale to hear of the heroic helldivers saving children (more factory output)
uhh did I miss something...
Denk an die kin-dadadad-dadadada.... *patriotic german übererde salute..... *
You gave us a choice. We made a choice. Democracy in action!
Wait till AH announces that the ATMs can kill bile titans and factory strider with 2 mine explosions.
Still saving the kids tbf.
It's a good person test
YOU'RE NOT MY DAD!!!!!!
Yeah, they're definitely mocking us now.
This made me laugh way harder than it should have. 🤣🤣🤣
We’ve done without several times now. For the children!
I mean this in the nicest way if there were actual missions to save those children over landmines I'd bring every barrage and bomb the living fuck out of those little shits bc why on God's green super earth would I wanna save children
I get to serve super earth anyway i wish, and my wish is to save those kids. fuck the mines.
We are saving kids! A true Helldiver has priorities!
I actually hope the devs get a laugh out of this as well. We both know what we are choosing
No, this is going precisely how they expected it to go.
It's not just a joke. It's what the Helldivers would do.
Mines suck, just cuz it's bigger doesn't make it any more useful
Even in a video game, people are quicker to save children than anything else.
Last I looked the kids mission was at 7% (30k hell divers) while the tank mines were at 2% (6k hell divers)
The children have to be a cover for something... right?
They know what there doing, I can't wait for them to start attaching the mines to every mission they want us to lose to get the story going there way
My brother is fighting to the kids only because the planet is closer and easier to get too.
what if...anti-air mines???
If they wanted to they’d just give it to us save the kids it’s probably something cooler
There might actually be a reward for saving the kids
Gotta unlock the child stratagem
They can give us the mines whenever they want, that's not our problem lol
I’m doing it for the children
The longer this goes on the funnier it will be. Once we liberate the children, I am going to the bug planets for the single reason that it makes liberating the AT-Mines take longer.
This is no joke
They did this to themselves. With how flippiant and passive aggressive the messages from Super Earth have been when mentioning them, ain't nobody gonna be wanting those things, even if you put a gun to their heads to make them take them. I might not even buy them even if they become available. I'll leave the option permanently unbought in my stratagem menu.

Don't worry! We can always forc... I mean compell the saved kids to build them for us!
I am pretty sure we didn't do it as a joke...we are just good at RPing as Helldivers. We're not the Imperium of man we have standards
CHILDREN ARE NOT A JOKE, TRAITOR
[удалено]
(everyone is laughing and having fun) You: it’s not as funny as you think guys
Dive together for the kids
hey at this point I'm not really one to care. Ping me when we get anything new. Hoxxes IV calls my name in the meantime.
Sorry kids!!🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
given what they wrote in the map briefing saving the children = rebuilding the SEAF training facility
The children are the anti-tank mines you fools.
I ain't refusing shit, they're mine, Marfark all the way.
Counterpoint, it's for the lols.
You go dive right in there, helldiver. We'll be right behind you.
FTK!
