There's been a rumor circulating in the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Helldivers 2 community that saluting during the Raise the Flag missions actually makes the flag erect faster. Well, the game's creative director just confirmed it's true. When I shared ღthe video showing the technique with my squadmates they laughed at me. Who's laughing now, Rick?

During the Raise the Flag missions, you have to ge🍒t💛 to a location, call down the flag of Super Earth, and defend it with your life against the hordes of enemies until it stands proud and tall. It can be an agonizingly slow wait, especially on the highest difficulties where huge foes threaten you every second, so of course we'd do anything to speed it up.

It may sound silly that using the salute emote would make it rise faster, because it sort of implies the flag can sense your patriotism, but it turns out ꩵit actually works. In a recent Reddit post, former Arrowhead CEO and current creative director of Helldivers 2 Johan P🥂ilestedt writes: "No it's true. Everyone at the studio did it, so one of the coders added it as an 'Easter egg.'"

It's exactly the kind of thing I expect from Helldivers 2🧸. After all, the crashed pods open when you salute. You don't even have to properly interact with them, you can just do the salute emote and they'll pop open for you, so of course it makes the f🍬lag raise faster, too.

The only issue is anyone who's emoting won't be shooting, but that's a small price to pay in glorious the pursuit of spreading🦋 managed d🌟emocracy across the galaxy.

This is a fun little Easter egg, and certainly better news than Pilestedt seemingly forgetting 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:his own game is dripping with anti-fascist sat𝓰ire and saying developers should "Make good gaꦡmes, don't make a contemporary political statement." I'mꦜ not sure if there is a more contemporary political statement a game could make than "fascism is bad."

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Hellౠdivers 2 ♏is also being turned into a movie, which is interesting because the game is clearℱly heavily inspired by Star✤ship Troopers, another anti-fascist satire that was also misunderstood when it came out.
