• All hand-crafted arenas. (+ screenshots)
  • Effects of the various terrain types on certain maps (i.e. the "small cyborg square" never features any terrain hazard, etc.)
    • And all bugs, glitches, and exploits assigned to them.

Retaliatory Strike

Retaliatory Strike missions are a part of a free content update Democracy Strikes Back released on 26th October 2015. These missions require Helldivers to drop into a hazardous, arena-like area to exterminate as many of the enemies of democracy as possible before being allowed to extract.

During a Retaliatory Strike, a large kill counter (with progress bar) will appear at the top of the screen.

Difficulty

Retaliatory Strikes are available from Medium up to the Helldive Difficulty, for each faction. High in-game knowledge and skills are required from the Helldivers to successfully complete the mission.
