Helldivers, Follow These 4 Mandatory Rules to Escape Being Ragdolled by the DSS Planetary Bombardment

The Helldivers 2 community has spent the past two months completing dozens of Major Orders to aid the construction of the Democratic Space Station. This strategic tool was supposed to help Helldivers but it turns out, the DSS is causing more damage instead of providing support on the battlefield.

Helldivers were able to choose where to place the DSS and picked the Planetary Bombardment Tactical Action but the defense is just a series of orbital strikes that randomly sweep the entire planet, killing all friendlies in the process. The community has now managed to undo things by picking the Eagle Storm Tactical Action. Arrowhead needs to rework the Planetary Bombardment but until it’s fixed, Helldivers need to remember these four rules to stay safe.

Four Golden Rules Every Helldivers 2 Player Should Remember To Survive Planetary Bombardment

Helldivers 2 players contributed their precious resources to use the Democratic Space Station to help them with Planetary Bombardment Tactical Action, however, this plan completely backfired as the constant bombing was killing Helldivers along with the enemies. This tactical action fires periodic Orbital Barrages and accelerates progress in Liberation Campaigns. Since players were constantly getting ragdolled around, a player on the r/Helldivers2 subreddit shared four rules that every player must follow to stay safe.

The Planetary Bombardment got so chaotic that Arrowhead Game Studios had to roll out a temporary fix to make sure Helldivers survive on the planet. The in-game DSS tab revealed that the Planetary Bombardment “increases Reinforcement Budget by +1 per squad member and augments all loadouts with FX-12 Shield Generator Relay Stratagem,” giving players some extra reinforcements and a defense Stratagem.

Helldivers 2 Voted To Turn Off Planetary Bombardment

As soon as the community discovered the damage Planetary Bombardment was doing, it decided to vote to turn it off. Helldivers 2 players voted to send the DSS back to Gaellivare and donated resources to activate the Eagle Storm Tactical Action, which deploys periodic Eagle Airstrikes, a much better option than Planetary Bombardment.

Players are highly disappointed as they spent two months completing many Major Orders. The expectations were so high but the overall experience just became too frustrating. Many have suggested that Arrowhead could’ve introduced the Illuminate, the game’s third rumored faction, instead of dragging the DSS storyline for so long.

At the time of writing, the in-game DSS screen says that players can’t use Planetary Bombardment for at least 6 days now, which is enough time to fix this Tactical Action. We can expect Arrowhead to swiftly come up with a solution for this soon. A lot of effort went into reviving the hype for Helldivers 2, so the studio must fix this if they wish to maintain a steady active player count.
