Seriously, check this game out; it's extremely fun. Helldivers x Minecraft.
I'm pretty sure they're already unionized, it's just the union is either weak or collaborationist. Actually I think there are three separate unions, all in competition with one another or something like that?
There is a "union" mechanic that obtusely involves some integration with the official discord server where someone can join one of three unions (and there are in-game signs telling you to do so) and receive small in-game bonuses based on missions completed by members of that union in a given month, though apparently that integration and tracking is spotty and inconsistent at best. I'm not on the official discord so I don't know first-hand how it works or why there are three competing unions.
If Elon Musk ever gets to Mars the wobblies will be there waiting for him.

For Karl!

company scrip
at least i have unlocked :ushanka:
Company scrip in a socialist society would just be money but for luxury shit like ushankas and not required for basic necessities, notice how the only thing that you can consume that costs anything is beer.
Edit: Yes I know a ushanka isn't a luxury item I was just using it as an example of an aesthetic item purchasable in the game's world
Ushankas are a basic necessity. It's January. It's fucking cold in the top half of the world.
The game lets you have a flamethrower, terrain deforming drills, and plastic explosives all at the same time. It's good.
drillers satchel charge is unweildy, and more often than not i put it down as a chokepoint hold that never gets used while the bugs pour in from the other direction, but
heh, lemme tell ya
B O O M
I mostly just set down a wall of fire/ice to bunch up enemies, jump way up and dunk the charge right in the middle of the crowd, and set it off immediately.
yeah that is the way to use it maximally, especially when you have a couple praetorians stacked up. it's just unweildy when you use it that way; weapon swap CD + charge placed into trigger drawn CD is right about the same amount of time for deep freeze to run out (if you're cryo) or for a fire-slowed oppressor to turn fully towards you, tanking the whole blast like a wet sneeze.
absolute favorite is to hop on a gunner's zipline and drop it into a sea of bugs from above :chefs-kiss:
Try using it to mine ore veins or clear pillars when preparing an area for a fight. I find that if one doesn't do that it's pretty rare to actually use two charges of it in between resupplies.
DLC where you launch a drill at Mission Control's offices and suddenly you're space miner dwarves in cs_office fighting through waves of security bots
Rock and Stone!
This is the game me and my brother play when we play video games together, it's a lot of fun.
Absolutely love this game. I haven't played it in a while since my PC is a shitbox but if you want a genuinely fun co-op game this is one of the best I've every played.
wild, i was just gonna ask if anyone else plays this game. i just got it and my only friend that plays lives in a completely different time zone
