You have great taste. Might I also recommend "Hellraiser" and "I don't want to stop"?
Both by Ozzie, and bring great vibes as we bring democracy to the galaxy.
"The Trooper" by Iron Maiden and "Sleep Apnea" by Chevelle are also great picks.

[@brolapse69]

@Famousagentman All those save for "Sleep Apnea" are in my Helldivers 2 Playlist. It's mostly Sabbath, Ozzy, CCR, early Stones, Hendrix with some Iron Maiden.
Have been meaning to check out Chevelle for awhile, have had them recommended a lot.

[@Famousagentman]

@@brolapse69 Yeah, that's probably my favorite song from them, but they're definitely a band that I would consider underrated.
"The Red" is probably their most popular song, but "Jars" and "Mexican Sun" are solid picks as well.
They don't necessarily fit with the Vietnam-era vibes that I get from your (amazing) playlist, but they're still solid for those interested in hard rock.

I like that this is possible. I hope that instead of limiting it in some way, devs just make an enemy type that is also an artillery battery that will counter this and the players need to go hunt it so their emplacement isn't destroyed.
