The Secret Order will support two new games: Helldivers 2 immediately, and Battlefront Classic upon its release on March 14.
“HELLDIVERS™ 2 is a 3rd person squad-based shooter that sees the elite forces of the Helldivers battling to win an intergalactic struggle to rid the galaxy of the rising alien threats. From a 3rd person perspective, players use a variety of weapons (pistols, machine guns, flamethrowers) and stratagems (turrets, airstrikes, etc.) to shoot and kill the alien threats. Players can also aim down the sights for a more accurate 1st person camera view.”
As Helldivers is a PvE game, it will not be eligible for Clusters of Fire, but is eligible for competitions and as activity towards your monthly evaluations. Once the Path system is implemented, it will be used towards earning experience points. Please record the number of successful missions you've played and submit these to your House Quaestor at the end of the month using this form: https://forms.gle/8uRESBHipNvUNQ918
This form will change monthly and be posted. This will eventually be replaced with an "upload match" functionality similar to what we have for reporting matches in the TC, but we're not quite there yet.
With its launch, we will also open up a new competition: The Illumine Strike Back: Helldivers 2
Play as many games as possible, and earn bonuses for playing with other EH members. (They don't have to be SO members.)
Battlefront Classic also returns and will be supported for Clusters of Fire. Support here is pretty straightforward and works like our other platforms.
We're opening up a new competition here as well: Get in, Trooper!. Submit Clusters of Fire as usual, and the Master-at-Arms will grant you one point per kill. The top seven will earn Crescents, and the top player may additionally earn a Kaiburr Star if they submit at least 50 matches.
