      On note on the lovely white pre order armor, it got a version in the progression system, so even without special edition, or pre order it's still possible to get. It might be one of the best armors though.

    This game is insane. My first automaton battle was a challenging difficulty one. We dropped in with my fellow helldivers. It was in a jungle at night time. We just saw redlights in the darkness. Then we started getting shot from all directions. We tried desperately to hold on, we were jumped on by jetpack robots with chainswords. Walkers and heavy robots were firering missiles at us. We died like 12 times in the first 5 min. We had no time to rest, a nearby automaton base was firering big lasers at us while smaller turrets were pinning us down. It was truly a Helldive.
    We managed to regroup and actually we made it out alive of our first mission. But damn, that feeling of stress and fear while barely surviving is insane haha

    I believe the illuminati were left out due to time constraints. I love the game and once I was told Eagle Stratagems uses aren't per mission it's just per reload it made the game so much better.
    For those wondering what i mean Eagle Airstrikes have two uses. However once you use it twice the Eagle returns to the destroyer to rearm, which takes a few minutes, but then returns with two uses again. You can also send it back early if you have a long walk ahead of you and don't think you'll need any of your Eagle stratagems so it's fully loaded when you reach your target.

    Some friends and I were doing a mission on Space Vietnam, one of the survey missions. We set up the thingy and then the Automatons were on us, throwing everything they had at us. We were in between two hills that gave us a little cover. It really did feel like Vietnam, like the battle of Ia Drang or something. Constant air strikes, mortar fire, and orbital strikes, with tracers, lasers, and bodies flying everywhere. We were constantly diving away from our own airstrikes as much as we were the enemy. By the end of the battle, every tree within 200 meters had been leveled, and the area was a catered mess. We lost some good Helldivers that day, but they gave their lives for Liberty, Prosperity, and Managed Democracy.

    There is a bolter in the game. It's in the Premium pass under the name "Jar-5 Dominator".
    15 bullets per mag, penetrates medium infantry armor and fires jet propelled explosive bullets.
    It can essentially fight all the things an Anti Materiel sniper rifle can, which includes a lot of otherwise annoying enemies that aren't vehicles (Like the medium automaton infantry or the red bugs with armored heads).
    So it's really useful if you drop on top of an enemy outpost and need to quickly take out something heavier and don't have time to call in your support weapon.

    So, regarding the warbonds/not-quite-battlepasses. They're a 'pick-and-choose' progression system, progressed with the 'medals' currency you earn through mission completion or by finding them in hidden caches on the ground. The devs have already confirmed that every warbond they add is going to be evergreen, so no cycling out of goods or FOMO for the progression tracks they offer. They've also stated an intent of adding new bonds on a two week cycle, going forward.
    As far as the super credits are concerned, the game has been shockingly generous with lining your pockets with the stuff, since you can find hidden caches of them around your missions, as well as earn extra via your warbonds. Even the current premium warbond gives you back 300 of the 750 it costs, over the course of unlocking it.
    Premium currencies in paid games still isn't my favorite, but this game may just be one of most generous of the lot as far as that goes. Still not a fan of nProtect, but hey.

    I really like the progression system. I personally didn't find it confusing at all but I guess I can see how it could be. I know there are people that don't like grinding to just get the thing they want, but I do. I love going into missions and looking for those extra medals and watching the number of medals I need to unlock the next page go down. Having to unlock each page feels like a nice progressive milestone and I really appreciate that in a progression system. I, and I'm sure others, enjoy the process of it, not just getting the thing but the journey to get it. It feels good.
    And although I get alot of things that don't really interest me I still end up trying them out or using them because, well, I now have them and they're my new shiny thing, even if it they aren't the item at the end of the tunnel that I'm REALLY looking for, they are still items I can use while I work to get the thing I do want.

    I just unlocked the Ballistic Shield today. I used it against the Automatons, mostly as a meme, but I was shocked that it was extremely useful. The ability to tank A LOT of small-arms fire is crazy good. Now, if a tank, rocket launcher, or mortar/artillery hits you, you're dead regardless (and your shield will be destroyed) but I was able to hold out for a long time while my teammates retreated to the extraction point. I'm also really happy that unlike HD1, SMGs are shotguns are actually really good. I've been using the Defender with my shield to great effect.

    I remember a tense mission me and a friend were doing where right out of the gate we were getting hunted and demolished and when we stormed the robot base and came out on top with craters everywhere as smoke raised from demolished buildings felt incredibly immersive.. This game is awesome because you're rarely going to have a moment of peace and nothing beats dropping through the giant bugs head in a pod and instantly winning a boss fight, this is a game I'll be playing for a while lol.

    The biggest difference in the armours are the buff. Light armour makes you significantly faster and the stamina regen is very noticeable. Heavy armour give you a significant buff against explosives and gives you better recoil control. The Med armour is general purpose but there are variations which give you good buffs like the medical suit which gives you more stims and a 20% buff to their effect duration. In practice this means you can actually completely tank damage when you take a stim while being completely overrun by bugs

      The heavy armor on the premium pass gives you the same throw distance and limb health bonus as the medium armor. For almost every armor skill there will likely be at least one light or heavy variant.

    Regarding the super warbond that requires premium or real money to unlock: Yes you can unlock it through playing just the game, the rate at which you get that currency however is really slow.
    You said you have 350 credits without trying, but that's because you 1. start with a couple credits (If I remember correctly), 2. The progression system lets you spend medals for free credits however this is 100 credits the first 3-4 times and then it lowers to 50. After playing 20+ hours I'm at 500 credits, however getting the next 500 credits through the warbond is really slow as it is now 50 at a time for 20 medals.
    So you'd have to get nearly all those credits from ingame lockers.
    From the lockers the rate is also very low, devs have said the following: players are expected to earn 10-40 Super Credits per hour.
    The Warbond progression only gives you a total of 700-800 credits so you would need to complete the entire Warbond progression system and play 10 efficient hours of looting super credits.
    This would mean to get 1000 super credits for a warbond you'd need to play a lot and that's a shame because there are a lot of cool weapons locked behind the premium battlepass, and they'll stay locked for many hours of gameplay.

    The problem that I have with these games has nothing to do with Helldivers 2 itself but rather with the 4 player co-op genre as a whole. All of these devs are making games for exactly four players. It's like they can't comprehend that a friend group that doesn't fit that exact number not only exists but is pretty common. My gaming group has anywhere between 3-9 people available at any one time. It's really hard to play a 4-player game without intentionally excluding people. (And doing two parallel games rarely works either because they are balanced to require exactly 4 players.) Whenever a game like this pops up: Pulsar, Sea of Thieves, Deep Rock Galactic, 40K Darktide, etc... A couple people in the group get really excited about it. Most of us buy it, the hard-core players immediately proceed to burn themselves out in the course of a couple weeks (and, if it's a game with progression, leave everyone else in the dust). And by the time the people with actual lives are wanting to give it a go, the rest of the group is burned out and moving on. I have 3-4 games in my library that I have literally never played (and many more that I've only played a few times) because I missed the window of interest when people were actually playing it. I'd have even more if I hadn't stopped buying these kind of games.
    Don't get me wrong, the game looks fun. But I'll never be able to play it because of group dynamics. :/

    The Illuminate race was defeated after the first game. We stole their tech which gave us FTL travel and made it possible to colonize the galaxy during the 100 years since. I doubt they will be an enemy race in HD2, unless they somehow manage to fight back after we beat them 100 years ago.
    I personally hope Arrowhead adds another, completely new race. They have also confirmed that the Mech is coming shortly after launch.

    Just to pass my own thing in - it took me roughly 27 hours of game play (just under 50 total missions) to get the 1000 Super Credits. That was me progressing up through the difficult tiers. As the higher difficulties start rewarding more, I think if I play on Suicide mission, I'll see my next thousand a little more quickly.
    This is definitely a game that wants you to stick around and play long term. I think that's why they made the highest tier in the main battle-pass style progression tree take a thousand + medals.
    Also - I am just so excited, thinking about how there is a good chance we are going to be seeing / getting access to vehicles, and the illuminate. I feel like the devs have saved a lot of stuff in the can, to drip feed out to maintain long term interest in the game.
    I feel like with the way the map is set up, there might even be a fourth faction, where we see treasonous humans trying to udermine our way of life. Rogue SEAF type forces, flat out humans, that use our tactics against us, but separate from the automatons. Theres a lot of potential for different enemy types, combos, and dangerous fighting. Robotic Bugs... it has so much potential to be even more fun!
