In Helldivers 2 you can unlock new gear, but what you get is in the hands of the community.
What kind of decision is that? There is a new general order in Helldivers 2. You have to free the planets Choohe and Penta in a fight against the robots. However, the almighty Joel, who holds the fate of Over-Earth in his hands, has come up with something special.
As a reward for liberating the planets you will receive new equipment. But which equipment you get depends on which of the two planets was completely liberated first.
You, the Helldivers 2 community, have to decide what equipment you want to win for the armies of the over-earth. The other equipment is likely to be lost in the fight against the robots.

The choice: mines or rocket launchers
What equipment can you get? Depending on which planet you liberate, the Helldivers will receive either anti-tank mines or an airburst rocket launcher.
On X.com we were apparently able to take a look at the codes of the new equipment before the new general order was announced. A meme posted by the official Helldivers account suggested a choice between two new loadouts. The codes shown in the meme are not yet included in the game.
“Daddy wants a shiny new rocket launcher.”
What will the players choose? Mines and guns currently rarely play a role in the best loadouts, while the quasar cannon and one-time anti-tank defenses have a permanent place in the meta. So it’s quite possible that a large part of the community wants the new Rocket Launcher and that’s why we’ll see a lot of players on Penta.
User Oakenhawk joked on Reddit: “I have family on Choohe, but Daddy wants a shiny new rocket launcher. Sorry, kids.”
Nevertheless, anti-tank mines in particular could have a special incentive for players to finally be able to effectively eliminate armored enemies such as Hulks and factory walkers. The anti-personnel mines are useless against armored opponents and pose a particular threat to Helldivers.
