@@Red_block_tales You are the only one who was confused about what he was talking about lol. Their official name is harvester, but the type of sci-fi creature/vehicle they are can be colloquially called a walker
@@spoton6010 Ackshually, it is a tripod🤓 anyway yeah I am hoping their other, stronger, units have as much impact as these have. Its a blast playing against them since its a other type of loadout compared to fighting bugs or bots!
The way Illuminate armor works is, until the armor is destroyed by shooting it, the illuminate only takes 20% damage, so you have to destroy the armor and then shoot the exposed area.
For the Overseers specifically though, their helmets are not ablative armor (what was described above), but instead medium armor (armor rating 3). For example, the AMR will 1-tap them to the head.
@@Quickstein Best thing I've used (now live and die by this thing) is the WASP launcher. That thing is absolutely INCREDIBLE at dealing with the shield and flying enemies. 1 Shots them and can 1-2 volley (all 7 shots from the WASP, not the artillery mode) the striders. Totally changed facing the illuminate for me. Also has INSANE range to hit enemies
As Captain of the Viper Commandos, I find this update to be a remarkable boost to our unit's morale. Its resounding impact has driven our Helldivers to administer managed democracy with precision on the third faction. Any dissent undermining the patriotism of our citizens shall be promptly addressed at the Ministry of Truth, where such treachery will face appropriate scrutiny.
load out tip from a lvl 94 player vs Illum: primary Blitzer (infinite ammo),secondary grenade pistol (for taking out the UFO on the ground once shield is down), grenade Incendiary Strats 500kg, auto cannon mech,laser canon (for taking down shields, inf ammo, takes down a harvester using 75-80% charge shooting leg joint from full shield and hp to death pending on skill,also good for taking out overseers and crowed control) and finaly the guard dog rover (one that uses bullets instead of laser, laser one tends to kill you to much died 4x to it in single match )
As a heads up when fighting the illuminate the eruptor is quite literally the best weapon option. It takes care of voteless, stunlocks overseers, and destroys the harvester’s shield with only one shot (as long as most of the shrapnel hits). It’s is like objectively the best primary for this faction. The only thing it can’t do is destroy the shields of warp drives, but it can still destroy the ship once the shield is down.
Illuminates are a cake walk bro, easiest super hell dive games I’ve ever played. I can imagine once the full faction attacks it won’t be the same obviously but it’s not hard whatsoever atm if you’re an OG player
AJ here (from the video) I completely agree with you honestly. Having a full squad that has played the game enough has made me realize how easy they can be, but since it was our first time trying them out (because we immediately started playing after the game awards) we had no idea what we were doing lol. That’s why I included the defense mission at the end to show how much we’ve learned and build up to the montage at the end. Also yes, the idea of this just being the scouting party or them just testing us is a little scary. We may be a little cooked, but I hope you enjoyed the video!
@@T.L.I1330 once you figure them out I was like damn these fools are easy as hell 😂 it’s nice because there’s only 4 types of enemies in this vanguard force, with the bugs & bots they have soooo many variants you got to work with. That’s what makes a faction hard to play with is when they have massive diversity to work against all armor types & etc etc
Man I’ve played so much of HD2 but I don’t understand why one game can be a cake walk but impossible the next all on the same difficulty. One mission the overseers can’t hit you standing still but next they are all snipers. But I love it
Flying and normal overseers are out here giving me the halo reach experience fr, all they need now is some artillery and then we can get the noble team treatment
*sees how entertaining and good the content is* *sees sub count* *shock* Please get this man the attention he deserves!! Such a good time, great content!
Unironically I also really like the arc thrower, haven't used it on bugs or bots in a while but I take it for every squid mission. That and the Tesla tower are underrated gems, especially on the defense missions.
the illuminate is fun but poorly made, some enemies are just bullet sponges which defeats the purpose of having so many. the flying heavies that throw grenades for example i should be able to take out more then 2 with 4 clips on a shotgun.
10k views!!?!? Holy guacamole!!!
Thank you all for the support. More gaming content will be coming in the future.
friendly reminder for everyone that the walker is their equivalent of the CHARGER. JUST the charger
we are so boned
Another comparison is the hulk
(That also makes the overseers the devastators equivalent)
Walker? You mean harvester?
Harvester is the equivalent to a charger

the martian madness and moon lord themes fit this and the sheer terror so well.
The Star Wars droid noises followed by the “they fly now” is hilarious!

I use something similar, but I take lib pen guard dog, Adjudicator, and machine gun sentry. Everything else is the same

Shoot under the warp ships/base ships with it, takes out the shield with 1-2 shots.

Agreed
Very true
THE CREEEEKKKK I rise from the ashes with Grandpappy’s old armor to curbstomp some Squids!!!!!!!!
This is one of the best Helldivers videos of the update. Stand proud, u cooked.
Most underrated channel ever
I'd love a cosmetic mod that makes the observer a probe droid from Star Wars...
We lost 27 million or so diver on the creek within weeks
*We lost 36 million divers on calypso in 2 days*
That title deserves more recognition
when the mind control guy?
squid = bad
🔥edit!!!
This channel deserves more subs!!
Underrated channel
A tip for the overseers, you can one shot the overseers with a headshot from the senator
imma just try to pick air strike laser 500k and recoilless
Man I’ve played so much of HD2 but I don’t understand why one game can be a cake walk but impossible the next all on the same difficulty. One mission the overseers can’t hit you standing still but next they are all snipers.
But I love it
Ok you having small sub count shocked me, holy hell this is a good content... Keep it up, I'll sub
Flying and normal overseers are out here giving me the halo reach experience fr, all they need now is some artillery and then we can get the noble team treatment
What was the music used at 5:10, I’m on the verge of having a memory unlocked but I just cat remember.
Pretty sure it is Vode An from Republic Commando.
@ Yes, that’s exactly it thank you, great video btw.
Love this
THEY HAVE TAKEN THE CREEK!?!?!?!!?
my illuminate loadout is the wasp with a pray n spray or explosive crossbow and grenade pistol.
Part 2?
*sees how entertaining and good the content is*
*sees sub count*
*shock*
Please get this man the attention he deserves!! Such a good time, great content!
Sir, the Arc Thrower is good everywhere.
Though as I identify as an Arcsexual, I may be biased.

@@dragonhunter2343 The squids have given me the bad habit of destroying every Tesla tower I see, friendly or otherwise😅
Hey, what’re Steam users doing about the Kernel anticheat? Just askin.
the illuminate is fun but poorly made, some enemies are just bullet sponges which defeats the purpose of having so many. the flying heavies that throw grenades for example i should be able to take out more then 2 with 4 clips on a shotgun.
how do you have a 1/9 of the subs i do but have content nine times better than mine seriously underrated channel .
have you used the car yet?
