The Penitent Crusade, known to the 9th Hellraisers as “Death Watch,” is a
sacred trial for the most resolute and courageous. It’s an honor and a burden;
few return unchanged. Death Watch is about atonement and endurance. Squads on
this crusade are stripped of identifiers, bearing only a black armband until
they earn the Death Watch badge, a symbol of survival and will. They operate
as ghosts, loyal only to the cause, proving themselves through fire. These
squads are sent into hostile territories with minimal support, outdated gear,
and limited supplies. They must adapt and survive off the land. Missions vary
but share one tenet: complete the mission or perish. Each Crusade is
handpicked by Command, testing limits physically, mentally, and spiritually.
They face harrowing conditions: radioactive wastelands, mega nests
infestations, or near suicidal infiltrations. Endurance, not victory, is the
measure of success. Survivors return with respect and the Death Watch badge, a
permanent mark of their ordeal. They are living proof of unbreakable resolve.
Many do not return. Those lost are remembered without grave or ceremony.
Within the 9th, the meaning of a black armband and a vanished squad is well
understood. Death Watch is the crucible for the purest iron. Only the
unyielding return.
They dive in silence, and emerge victorious, or not at all. This is their
reckoning. This is their Penitent Crusade.
Your squad will begin the crusade with a Medium (Level 3) difficulty
operation, with Super Earth's outdated and surplus equipment.
After completing each mission in an operation, your squad will begin a new
operation at the next highest difficulty level.
Your squad's goal is to complete an operation at the highest difficulty level,
Super Helldive (Level 10). Only then will your squad be redeemed. You may
start this crusade on any front.
In order to appease High Command and be rewarded for your efforts, you must
complete each mission with the maximum amount of stars.
If you don't complete a mission with the maximum amount of stars, you do not
earn a reward for that mission.
In either case, press the "Mission Complete" button, and follow the prompts.
NOTE: High-tier equipment and stratagems are more likely to appear as you
progress through your crusade.
The equipment you see in the background is what you currently have unlocked.
Any items you earn through mission rewards will appear there as well.
While you're in-mission, you may not use any stratagems that are available for
free (e.g. experimental weapons testing, arsenal augmentations, etc). Only the
stratagems you have unlocked and objective-specific stratagems (e.g. Hellbomb,
SSSD, SEAF Artillery, SOS, etc.) may be used. However, you're free to pick up
and use any stratagems found in your environment (such as those that can be
looted at Points of Interest).
Additionally, you may share equipment with your squadmates.
If your squad fails a mission, you must start a new operation on the
difficulty that you failed to complete. Furthermore, you must choose an item
to be removed from your inventory.
Press the "Mission Failed" button, then choose an item to be taken from you.
Your progress is saved in your browser's local storage. If you clear your browser's local storage, your progress will be lost. If you want to start a new run, you may do so by pressing the yellow "Restart" button. Your run will be saved and accessible in the save menu.
This mode is unlocked after completing the Penitent Crusade. It is a more difficult version of the Penitent Crusade. The same rules apply.
A: Penitent Crusade was made for divers who are looking for a new way to play and progress in Helldivers 2. Penitent Crusade has rogue-like elements that many find enjoyable.
A: Yes! Teamwork is encouraged!
A: That means that you are required to bring that stratagem with you into the mission. You do not necessarily have to use the stratagem during the mission, however.
A: The intention behind making this site was to provide maximum value to Helldivers everywhere. The majority of my code is browser-based, and I only pay out-of-pocket for the domain, build time, and hosting (I use AWS). Costs are relatively small, but if you would like to reward me for my efforts, feel free to buy me a coffee using the link at the top of the page!
A: Please! Feel free to join the discord and hit me up if you have any ideas/suggestions, or run into any bugs. If you're a coder, I can definitely use your help with upcoming features.
