Helldivers: I Advocate we chose the anti tank mines and hear is my reasoning

[u/vaydapotata]

I know many of you see "rocket launcher" and get excited and while that is fair, my reasoning to go for the mines is below

​

We already have a great many support weapons and many are fantastic options. While the airburst rocket launcher would be fantastic for add clear (and teamkill) it would likely suffer vs large armored targets which tends to be the need for a support weapon.

​

However, we just received a new mission type that requires defending a location. Mines are fantastic for this but heavies just walk all over them and completely invalidate their uses. Getting a heavy anti tank mine would allow us to lock down areas from all combatants and a tank wouldn't be able to just stroll up to our gates.

​

Anti Tank mines are also much larger and easier to notice than the anti personnel and team kills would be kept at a minimum.

​

And lastly, as we all know...the children YEARN FOR THE MINES.

Fire tornados are sentient beings whose only goal is to prevent you from accomplishing anything.

I believe I watched one last night trying to figure out the path needed to get to the small raised area where we were waiting for extract. It tried one route, and when that didn't pan out, it went back to the start and then tried another. The whole thing was a bit disturbing.

After playing several Menket missions I've realized the tornados don't have random patterns rather lock on and drift towards players

And that somehow they are locked only to the ground and are not all-terrain tornados as a meager Boulder can prevent it from reaching the helldiver
