Trivia

• Currently, Helldivers have failed three times in acquiring this stratagem;
  • 26th of April 2024 - Helldivers were tasked to liberate two planets, Choohe and Penta, in order to unlock and utilize the MD-17 Anti-Tank Mines and RL-77 Airburst Rocket Launcher, respectively. Helldivers successfully liberated Penta, but made very little attempt in securing the path to Choohe.
    • The MO did highlight the lack of visible supply lines, which hampered larger helldiver efforts, but overall enthusiasm to rescue the civilians on Choohe was less than desirable.
  • 10th of May 2024 - Helldivers were tasked to decommission 2 billion Automatons in order to acquire the necessary materials to produce the MD-17 Anti-Tank Mines. Helldivers would fail again in unlocking the stratagem by not achieving the ordered amount. This subpar report delayed the production of the Anti-Tank Mines for the second time.
  • 11th of June 2024 - Helldivers were tasked with liberating Marfark and Vernen Wells, with both planets containing valuable importance to Super Earth. Vernen Wells harbored civilian survivors who were sheltering in Super Citizen Anne's Hospital for Very Sick Children, with supplies dwindling; Intelligence discovered a large amounts of explosives stolen from Choohe were located on Marfark, and contained enough raw materials to produce the MD-17 Anti-Tank Mines. Due to the urgent situation for both planets, Helldivers would receive a reward for the first planet liberated (though High Command would float the idea that by liberating both planets, both rewards might be received).
    • Helldivers managed to liberate Vernen Wells first, rescuing the stranded civilians inside Super Citizen Anne's Hospital for Very Sick Children, including 4,311 children, but were unable to liberate Marfark in time, achieving only around 50% completion of the liberation process by the time the Major Order expired. As a result, Super Earth was not able to secure the necessary materials to produce the MD-17 Anti-Tank Mines, leading to the Helldivers once again failing to obtain the stratagem.
• The failure to obtain this stratagem is notable as the failure of the Helldivers includes the failure to protect civilians, the subpar reduction of Automaton forces, and the termination of civilian jobs in Super Earth's industrial centers. Nonetheless, the liberation of Vernen Wells and successful rescue of the civilians there coincided with a USD$4,311 donation to the Save the Children Fund from Arrowhead CCO Johan Pilestedt and was a much-needed moral victory for the Helldiver Corps.
