Rules of engagement
01 Spin for your themeBefore each mission, spin the reels. Each Helldiver gets one theme.
Squad Fate Wheel (optional): if it's on, the wheel spins first. Red (a 1 in 4 chance) gives the whole squad one shared theme.
02 Stay on themeAt least 2 of your 3 equipment slots (primary, secondary, throwable) must match your theme. Want it harder? Make it all 3.
Any slot that isn't on theme must use that slot's fallback . Nothing else is allowed:
Primary LiberatorSecondary Peacemaker or Stim PistolThrowable Frag Grenade
If your theme has no option at all for a slot, take the fallback. It counts as on theme for that slot.
03 Armor, boosters and mechsUnless your theme says otherwise, every armor passive and booster is fair game .
Style points to anyone who brings a booster that fits the theme.
Mechs are allowed , and for some categories they're recommended.
04 Have fun with itYour squad decides what counts as on theme. Creative, ridiculous reasoning is encouraged. The funnier the justification, the better.
Example: the One-Two counts for “100 Seconds or Less” because 12 is less than 100.
Clarifications
Weapons found during a mission can be picked up and used.
