To compensate for friendly fire deaths due to DSS bombardment, helldivers are being granted extra reinforcements and shield generators

(From the DSS in game)

Why do I get the feeling this is another feature AH never really tested before release
- Honestly, reminds of sessions where the DM didn't/couldn't test a new mechanic and shit goes sideways real fast.
  
  Except AH has staff and literally thousands of potential play testers - they really need to get those playtests out and running.
  
  I see you've sat in on my games before
- This is Helldivers 2. I expect a newly released grenade will bounce off a SH-32 Shield Generator Pack from the inside as I throw it. It would steal from the helldiver experience if things worked as intended.
It's not bug, it's feature!
Just played my first mission with the DSS bombardment. I love it due to the chaos.

Tip: When you glass a planet, try not sending troops down to the planet.

Edit: I'm proud to say I was there when the DSS bombardment went live.
Super Earth rectifies the massive increase in heroic sacrifices by increasing the total number of team members available for heroic sacrifice.

Yeah, that tracks.
We kinda accidentally figured out how to survive tho. Since it's a 380 surrounding the player. Of the team stays together/heavy armour/don't move around too much (Ragdolls happen) you should be able to just walk right through it
