So I know most of our Helldivers out there are stuck on some lower end difficulties likes easy and medium, and I know support is floored with requests for it to be fixed and help our divers get to the nitty gritty of this war. Fortunately/Unfortunately there may be a bug...to this bug. To make it brief and save time, I joined an SOS to help someone Defend against the Bots but they were a newer player. When they unlocked Challenging, it also unlocked challenging for meand then Hard after we did a challenging mission.

I know most don't want to hear keep trying or find the newer guy and squad up in hopes this bug works, but it just happened to me, and I know most of the divers here are really wanting to advance the fight forward. I hope this helps, and that support comes for us and our divers here soon.

(On PS5 before those questions come in)
