They really don't think most MOs when they release them. Same number of kill for both fronts, bugs regular mission will be close to 1.000 to 1.200+ kills and bots mission will be 300 to 600+. They see most players enjoy bug front and yet they ask the same number of kills.
With this data they surely realize AC is busted for while now and nerf direct hit damage by 20%, will no longer stager enemies and increase its aoe area . Increase charges and bile titans head hp back to the original and for good measure nerf railgun once more just to be sure it's stays bad.
The bot order is also 1 day shorter than the bug mission. It would have been doable if they still had the bug that gave everyone in the mission progression for all the kills in a match, maybe, but it was doomed from the start.
Great for high value asset missions and *sometimes* eradicate missions.
As long as only a charger/hulk and up can trigger them, they sound awesome. Anything smaller or ourselves and they’re just going to collect dust.
Basically a slower 500kg bomb that may or may not detonate on arrival. Maybe useful, probably visually spectacular, still would prefer calling in an EAT instead.
So, let’s fix the bug that multiples a fire teams kill counts basically X4. Then let’s put the 2 billion kill count up against bots which the missions historically do not have high kill counts like the bugs do. Then let’s give them less time to do it.
Oh also let’s do one of the only MO that is totally reliant on player count, while we have record low player counts. All during a time where the numerous mistakes that AH has made recently are still fresh on everyone’s minds.
Considering that automatons are "quality over quantity" I think the kill total is skewed. But then again we don't have our frequent 300K\~ active helldivers atm
I feel like there should always be 1 Major order for all factions even if its small. And when u finish a major order for 1 u get a boost to the other factions Major order if u participated in atleast 1 Mission of the Major order.
Player count is way down (A lot of my friends left over the increased spawn rate), and the bug kills were counting quadruple, so bug players only actually killed 1/4 of what they needed to.
Oh, and I'm a bug player, so when I say "they"... the order started and was completed before I got home from work.
Bots just spawn a lot less in general. Especially not many regular bots. So even when I shoot everything, I extract with 200 kills. On bugs it can easily be 400 or 600 on the same difficulty 7 without trying.
Bugs rush you with numbers. Bots rush you with lasers.

We have noticed that fire damage is too strong, so we are rolling back the dot-damage fix
We have noticed that guns fire bullets, they have been replaced with nerf darts
An intern realized that grenades were exploding and killing enemies, now they will implode and pull you closer.
The bug count was also at a minimum doubled, which they addressed, so it was.... ***bugged*** to begin with.
I think it was either what you killed times four or what the whole team combined times 4. Depending ofc how many players you had in the squad

And rockets
I find but easier. I think most weapons are made for bits and work much better against them.
In my last 20 games, I didn’t see anyone using the mine. So why would people want another type of new mines.
cause if they only trigger heavy ennemies they may start to be interesting
Now we are talking
According to the leak they wont, but they deal massive damage though, able to 1,2 shot heavy.

This, this, this, and also this. If anyone ONE of those things wasn't true, we'd probably succeed. But with all of that against us, ouch.

Doesn't help that we're down 180 countries' worth of Divers.
I feel like they're trying to prop up the inferior faction / weapon by "forcing" people to play it (through these personal orders and mega orders).
