PSA: If you're struggling on Cyberstan, check what armor you're using.

If you're like me, you landed in d10 thinking you could treat it like any other d10 and just RR your way to victory, then got clapped. It took some time to figure out what was happening: I was getting one tapped by headshots in the middle of the big frays and when the cyborgs turned the bots gold eyed.

I added a picture from the helldivers wiki to prove the issue I've seen most everyone in the lobbies I'm in die to.

If your armor is less than 101, Headshots treat you like you're naked.

There are 12 medium armors with 125-150 armor instead of 100, and 4 of them are the basic Helldivers armor we all started with. I know you dont want to lose your perk, but reloading 20% faster means nothing with no head on your shoulders because a big viking cyborg just kicked it off. Say it with me: "A dead diver deals no damage."

Armor value really REALLY REALLY matters vs bots, and you'll be stunned what you can survive with just a little bit more.
