Do I Spend $40 USD On The Regular Edition OR $60 USD On The Deluxe Edition? You only need to buy the $40 USD standard edition. Purchasing the "Digital Deluxe" or "Super Citizen" edition for ~$60 USD is a luxury that just makes it easier/faster to get advanced weapons and armour. The "Super Citizen Edition" comes with the Premium Battle Pass for free. The Premium BattlePass is called "Premium Warbond : Steeled Veterans". This costs 1000 "Super Credits". The "Super Credits" are the premium in game currency. 1000 "Super Credits" amounts to ~$10 USD. You can acquire "Super Credits" in game easily and routinely. I already have 250 Super Credits and I've mainly been screwing around. The Premium Battle Pass is 1000 Super Credits. If I focused on it I could probably amass 1000 Super Credits in a weekend of playing and I'm a 5/10 mediocre FPS player. A good FPS player can probably acquire 1000 Super Credits in one day.
The Free Battle Pass has the ability to acquire "Super Credits" as well.
If are pressed for time and have lots of spare cash buying the $60 USD "Super Citizens Edition" is a good idea. If not, go with the $40 USD Standard Edition. I got the "Super Citizen Edition" because I have more money than brains.
20/02/2024: A patch today cleared up a lot of "Quick Match" issues. You can now jump in on other people's missions very easily. The team must request emergency help for you to be able to jump in.
21/02/2024: There are global level macro campaigns revolving around "Defending" a bunch of planets. Currently, the global community has 8 days left to win at least 8 "Defend Campaigns". So far, 3 have been done. I suspect teh developer or the game itself tunes the difficulty of defending a planet is in order to make sure the Campaign has somewhere near a 50/50 shot at success.
Seems like a fun game but what about the anti cheating software that supposedly might conpromise your computer? I believe it's called nGuard Protect. Don't know alot about it, but giving a third party root access is for many a red flag. Maybe someone else more knowledgeable can share some insight?
the fastest way to skip the queue is to join a friend's game via the Steam friends list. the CEO guy stated an auto AFK kick is coming in a patch so people can't just hang out in the game for hours. Only one time since I bought the game have I had to wait a long time if I chose not to skip the queue. I'm in the north east USA. Usually I wait 0 to 10 minutes when going straight into the game and not using the skip the queue trick.

No sacrifice is too great when defending America, Freedom, Democracy, and the United States Federal Treasury! ! ! Every second you delay a Helldiver mission more innocent civilians lives are at risk.
Game has great vibes and just incredible attention to detail when it comes to enemy design and animations. Of you are prone when reloading the animation is different if you are face down or face up.
Bugs and bots are completely different but either faction is both impressively coherent within themselves but varied in actual units. You can tell they're all the same team but have clear differences on how to fight them and for from them.
When the servers have capacity and quick match works good its going to be worth the wait.
I have 500 "Super Credits" Premium Currency now. I'm level 10.
EDIT: I'm getting into the game instantly. Ubanea, a planet where a defense attempt was made, has fallen to the Automatons. LOL. 100% Automaton control.
I'm on Steam. I'm in upstate New York,North east USA... playing with friends in Toronto, Washington DC, and Florida. Servers are working great for every one. No lag. Buttery smooth.
SPECULATION: Alien race enters the edge of the map in a few months. This new race wins every planetary war and makes a direct line to earth over the course of several weeks or months. There is a month long war on Mars. The humans lose. A $40 expansion pack is introduced and this time next year there is a "battle for the survival of the human race" on planet Earth in the center of the galaxy map.
In order to do the fighting on earth... you will have to buy the $40 expansion pack. You'll be able to fight other places with the base game. However, the most crucial fighting ... for the future of human existence ... will require $40. LOL

Wow Jimmy. Assuming the worst of the devs with absolutely no merit at all. And why wouldn't they charge for an expansion pack? Destiny did it for years and successfully so.

Helldivers 1 ended up with 4 enemy races/factions. It'll be interesting to see the new races/factions introduced in Helldivers 2.
More races are coming for sure. Apparenty even Mechs for Helldivers are an option. Will see

I'm rockin' scout armour and a sniper rifle. Nuttin' like shooting the #1 enemy in the back of the head from 100 meters away.
They could easily charge more for that game and be in the right. Looking at all the triple / quadruple A shit other big studios release (looking at you Ubisoft)

Why would the publisher offer a 17% discount so soon after a super successful release?
It's probably not a planned dev discount but rather a currency discount where the game in developing countries is cheaper and sites like this buy and resell steam keys cheaper that way
