      1:08:00 Why they are so bad at war? Because Super Earth doesn't have any real space navy (at lest none was shown to this date) and they rely solely on Super Destroyers which are more or less orbital support vessels and not space combat ones.

    Considering that said 4 teams of soldiers CAN complete the mission, they are elite. The idea is the same as a Helljumper and Spartan. They're specialized soldiers sent on suicide missions to turn the tide which is why sending a butt load of them is a lot more risky as you'd be wasting valuable resources if everything goes wrong. They aren't SEAF soldiers or Guardsman, they're closer to being a shock trooper like the Kasrkins

      exactly, these helldivers aren't trained for "5 minutes" and the tut isnt the only training. if that were, none of these soldiers would even be properly trained to survive a trbial mission, let alone reload a gun. they've joined SEAF at 9, and Super Earth culture is militarism, so they've been trained for almost their entire life. And even rewarded a gun just for turning 16.

    Although Helldivers are dispencable, a Helldiver is an elite citizen in Helldivers Lore. The population is much bigger and to be a Helldiver you have to be an elite war veteran but there are thousands like you. Except John Helldiver probably, he’s probably the best HD.

      They’re disposable but elite shock troops akin to modern day paratroopers. Dropped behind enemy lines or in the thickest concentrations of enemies. The SEAF do the majority of the battles whereas the helldivers are stabbing the enemies in the back where it hurts targeting high value targets paving the way for the SEAF

    You should also consider that, according to the recent lore about the terminid research facility, the one that studies the gloom, they mentioned that the E-710 from these planets is more efficient than the regular one, like 10x, making it more appealing to develop technologies to travel those unreachable planets so we can take that resource and "travel even beyond the planets we already know", so technically we might see a map expansion, maybe we could reach Kepler Prime

    The blue laser conspiracy theories can easily be debunked as shell-shocked Helldivers seeing their teammates' ricochets unexpectedly zoom across their visor as the tracers turn blue after bouncing off hard surfaces.

    Misconception!! Helldivers are ELITE SOLDIERS maybe not in the same way Master Chief or the ODST are but every Helldiver needs 6 months (I think, might be more or less time) as a S.E.A.F. soldier before they can become a Helldiver. The average Helldivers age is 18 and their life span is 2 seconds because
    A. Super Earths society and their military go hand in hand, encouraging service by age 16.
    B. Helldivers are dropped far behind enemy lines after SEAF forces have been pushed back already. So they essentially fight on the war's most dangerous battlefields. Of course they're gonna die.
    All in all we are not clueless meat bags sent to our death, we are the best of the best. That still doesn't mean we're all that great though, we just have the numbers to win

    Dont forget that every mission you play on HD2 (maybe HD1 idk) is canon to the story. Every objective completed and failed, every teamkill and citizen saved, every planet liberated and lost actually happens in Helldivers lore and continues developing the story as we play.
    Also, the joke about the forklift and shovel is pretty simple. Fans have been begging to fulfill their Death Korps of Krieg fantasies with a shovel melee weapon. When this was denied, they turned to the forklift, which can found across various planets. The fanbase yearns to drive a forklift for some reason. The video simply combined the shovel and forklift demands into one big blue ball.

    Personal notes as a historian of the game (creator of HOWL project which is a very expansive documentation of the war down to the minutes)
    5:54 “three battles for malevelon creek” it was 4,3 liberation campaigns and 1 defense campaign but I digress
    6:15 funnily enough the record for longest campaign is actually the 2nd Battle of Clasa which is still ongoing at 19 weeks and 5 days as of this message
    10:55 random extra tidbit but the Emancipator or “AC Mech” was unlocked during the Varylia 5 MO
    14:35 I forgot how recent but some territories were removed from the region lock (I believe 33)
    16:23 (07:13pm UTC 2nd June 2024) for anyone who cares this is the exact date of it being turn into a “blackhole” its a wormhole as confirmed by the game lore recently lmao
    16:42 so about that lmao, warp links all got removed and the planet is no longer visitable as of this comment although may change as the plot develops
    18:34 okay, just for the record because this is a personal pet peeve of mine but there are very few actually named operations. The vast majority of major orders actually go unnamed with community names and this is one of them.
    22:58 okay so funny story here. Compare the sector outlines from the video to the sector outlines we actually have. In all likely hood they are using a map in the visuals that was pre-release and never corrected it
    25:21 I’m more of a light-hearted squid sympathizer myself but yea its fun stuff
    26:04 has to do with the melee penetration and the range increase if I recall correctly, every enemy in the is possible to melee to death with it.
    30:25 using a special zigzag movement its possible to trick the leading of the traitor barrage shots to run forever, made even easier if shield backpack is used
    34:05 Theres some murky issues with quoting stats from the game. The way the game handles the recording of stats doesnt work well (for examples look at death count on Rirga Bay and the overall stats of Tien Kwan). Generally speaking any planet fought on before the Reclamation has incomplete stats. There is also leftover dev (and/or hacker) testing stats on a decent amount of planets. Rirga Bay there’s no known explanation for though. It’s cool to quote the stats in game but do keep this in mind.
    34:39 I should stop nitpicking on the phrasing but the gloom technically appeared between Socorro III and Enuliale. To this day Socorro actually still has the lowest possible level of gloom despite being under SE control for a long while. From (09:38am UTC 6th Aug 2024) to (03:04pm UTC 27th Aug 2024) the gloom rapidly expanded to take over 14* systems not 13. 15 if we want to count Socorro which is meh

    35:29 personally I gotta give a shoutout to helldiverscompanion its a great website with relatively accurate estimation models and the devs are always working on updating it to include new features and stay updated with the game

    37:00 *thousand yard stare* the Acamar IV incident of the 12th of Nov 2024, 5 bug defenses at once. Also notably theres a joke about how whenever Acamar had a surrounding planet liberated it would have a liberation campaign open briefly and it was possible to start new missions. Jokingly dubbed the zoo tours of Acamar (which if memory serves did get a mention in a dispatch after it fell) This also applies to gloom worlds in liberation campaigns opening but theirs an api effect to prevent people from jumping to fully gloomed systems. People already on those worlds should be able to theoretically start new missions if any remain though.
    41:01 Theres actually ones of basically all the automaton units and some of the squid ones floating around now
    43:24 is a really long story but those images were more or less faked. Its a very high quality fake but there was zero api data to back it up (nothing can show up on the multiplayer wide map without having a corresponding data result in the api as the map reads from the api to display stuff) so it wasn’t generated legitimately even if it did happen in-game.
    47:24 oh god people mistaking weapon shots and the ricochet for the squids. Theres also a spike planet on one biome type that can cause “blue lasers” to appear when a large entity interacts with it
    52:47 They are low poly poorly rendered super destroyer models lmao
    54:26 Outpost 32 is confirmed to not even be a possible planet name to generate in hd1’s game files. Its caused a lot of grief but there is no actual solid *confirmed* evidence of the reddit posts talking about Outpost 32 being factual. It’s a psyop folks lmao. Its a poster that for whatever reason exists in the game but has no actual tangible lore attached to it besides fan-made lore (other then the poster)
    1:07:34 Mars is not an actual world on the “map” as we know it and as such isn’t possible for us to fight on a wider scale beyond the tutorial unless changes are made to the current game state.
    1:11:03 Well as I mentioned earlier its Dev or Hacker related stats and for whatever reason the Devs have never bothered to correct stats from things like these.
    1:14:54 its a model rendering thing, often happens when theres issues with game files. Revalidating game files usually helps (if on steam)
    Well ending comments, theres a lot of memes that go unmentioned, “29” personally being the saddest thing I that I didnt see. It’s a running joke in the hd2 discord server to reply to any number question with 29. It’s a joke that writes itself. Also theres like holy shit a lot of cursed documentation related tidbits I could talk about but this probably isn’t the place. HD2 is truly an expansive game and I love it so much. Hopefully all this gives some more context.

    Good news on the whole region-locking thing: the game has been unblocked in 40 countries. Fixing that whole debacle seems to still be a priority for Arrowhead - they've got a cape with the review bomb graph on it ready to go when the rest of the countries are unblocked, and Pilestedt has confirmed they're still working with Sony to get the rest of them unblocked.

    the black fluid from the Illuminate could also have been some kind of strategy to plot a return after being defeated. There is enough reason to expect Super Earth not to be able to withstand the thrill of using it some day in a last ditch effort (as they did on Meridia) which would then not create a black hole as we see it but rather a way to enter the galaxy from their save haven, which is as of now pretty much imminent with the black hole growing in the last weeks and currently beeing completely vanished with a Spacetime Fluctuation Indicator showing in the Map screen

    38:03 A correction for the Tekken meme for very few of those who might be interested. This is the input of Electric Wind God Fist (or EWGF), a very powerful and arguably the best move in Tekken that evades attacks, completely safe and if you land gives you a full combo resulting in massive damage. Although it requires good execution since last 2 buttons (down-forward and triangle) need to be pressed at exactly the same frame

And the dead bugs are from the bugs that we kill during training. As for the dead squids and bots.

    33:55 You are forgetting the connectivity issues throughout the lifetime of the malevelon creek battle period. MANY divers deaths were unreported. It was to the point that the server was completely unplayable at times and only a handful of ships were in the sky to represent online players. It is a guarantee that malevelon had more losses due to the starting player count of the game exceeding all others thus far and the addition of round the clock players before the PSN region ban.
