My headcanon is that the Illuminate are just checking upon their old faction buddies like a family member who hasn’t met you in a long time like “Hey guys, haven’t seen yall since the Last galactic War. Goodness y’all have grown since we last met.”
honestly I wouldnt mind bonuses and megatives on MO planets making it just different. I remember the creek they you lost a strategem had a 50% cooldown time negative.
Having the Orbital Rail strike is my fave but last night it was Anti Tank mines (which is are shit) but 2nd mission out of 3. It changed to Orbital Laser and I had selected my own so I had 4 uses it was brilliant in a Rocket defence mission we had 16 uses and by the time the 3rd player used his on round 3 my cooldown was nearly done to use the single given one
Don't forget that neither the Cyborgs nor Automatons had anything technologically that would have suggested they had faster-than-light travel. Super Earth wouldn't even have theirs if they hadn't reverse engineered theirs from Illuminate technology, yet the Automaton Invasion Fleet we saw after driving them off the galactic map was using FTL drives. They got it from *somewhere*.
Of course they had FTL drives. Before they became cyborgs, they were human. Colonization didn't start till the FTL drives were already in use. How do you think they got to those passengers in the first place? Wishful thinking?
It’s pretty obvious that almost all of the Automaton’s technology is repurposed human tech. They use gunships, flamethrowers, literal tanks that are literally just our old tanks, Mortar strikes, and so on.
tbf, reinforcing straight away, or away from your death point (it could be halfway across the map), can be a waste of a reinforce charge. I'd rather wait a few minutes and get respawned in a good location, than somewhere random without all my gear, or act as a temporary meat shield and spawn killed. I've seen a lot of player in an intense battle zone constantly blindly reinforcing only to be spawn killed straight away. It's also practically a free insta-kill, and most people don't tag a heavy and utilise that mechanic enough.
@@IWatchUA-camz he was literally next to every teammate that died. plus he had ample time on multiple accounts to reinforce. its no wonder they would leave.
they should add some type of remotely detonated C4 that you can place on (for example) automaton fabricators so u could theoretically sneak through a full automaton base, get out, and then detonate on all the fabricators, completing the objective. thoughts?
having that be an option for a grenade in a possible stealth warbond would be very cool, though idk how they would manage the remote detonation mechanic
Yh you get 4 (or 6 with the extra 2 grenade passives armor) and place a c4 with tap R1 then the detonate all placed charges with hold R1. That way you could place 1 or 2 and detonate or place all 4 sneakily in a base and detonate them all at once when you'll snuck back out of the base.
A feature I've been finding myself wanting more and more lately, would be a voice emote to order a tactical retreat. Sometimes when the enemy forces are just too great, it's better just to GTFO and regroup. Plus it would be handy for other situations. As in; I hate seeing my fellow Helldivers go up in smoke and ashe, all because they had a momentary lapse in their situational awareness as soon as I called in my 500kg bomb.
Retreat? That's the least democratic thing I've heard in years - helldivers don't retreat! Though attacking in the opposite direction... Now that could work
Interesting but I feel like the illuminate may work with the automatons more than the terminids if they wanted to. I highly doubt arrowhead would do something like that. Tech/Hardware limitations and all that
@@phntmloona2843 they’re trying to get something because they’re moving towards the other fronts rather than towards Super Earth which means that’s SE isn’t even their priority. They probably wanted to secure Meridia but since that failed they moved towards the Automoton front probably for more weapons/armor it’s clear we’re dealing with a small force rather than a full army like with the Bugs and Bots
I didn't have this game yet when the Creek happened, so I don't wear that cape because I won't steal valor from those helldivers that were there, but I was here for Meridia and Calypso. Why don't they have honorary capes? Meridia was full bore insanity, and on Calypso, we we won a fight that was engineered to be unwinnable in epic fashion as the last moments of the major order ticked down. Not giving us capes to commemorate those 2 battles would be like the US military looking at D Day, the Battle of the Bulge, and Midway and thinking "Yep, only one of these battles is significant enough to warrant awarding medals or building monuments." Absolutely ridiculous.
I really love how the illuminate have been rolled out. The constant raids force people to move around to fight them instead of just dead head dropping on the same planet forever. Once they upped the number of raids there is always at least one illuminate planet to fight on now. Releasing only the basic units as a vanguard force means that we can get used to destroying their camps and beating the tripods before the scary stuff actually gets here. Such a great time.
They were talking about power armor drop pods in the game making you even chaunkier then heavy armor, adding like 100 more armor onto your armor that your wearing
I’m excited to be playing again, the community is still great. I’ve always been a stealth player, it’s a fun way to play. Peace and Love from Rhode Island.
I am interested in how the mind control would work with mobile illuminate units, as the disruptors stay in place to screw with you. Maybe if you get hit by an attack it screws with your strats? We will see
Plot twist. All the voteless were actually innocent citizens trying to get to a helldiver for help. We just slaughtered them because the illuminate tricked us....
I think Julheim was chosen for the simple reason that "Jul" is the word used in most scandinavian countries to refer to christmas. Jul = Christmas, and arrowhead is a swedish studio. so it being christmas and all, lets go to the christmas planet.
ive been an autocannon enthusiast since day 1 it brings a tear to my eye that it won gun of the year because it is cool everytime i use it i feel like im back in the 1800s with a semi auto elephant hunting rifle that WILL rip holes in everything or just decimate groups of enemies its just unfiltered raw power
@@MorMorGanGan it can clear bug breaches with just the flak shoot at the ground when the bugs start popping out after the smoke it WILL kill all the squishy bugs or huge waves of illuminate zombies, you can swap to passenger in the car and shoot bug holes, illuminate bases or automaton bases (if you have a las sickle you can destroy every type of illuminate shield in 1 charge as many times as you want) you can immediately complete the "destroy the radio broadcast" from literally anywhere same with the shrieker nests, stun grenades + the flak rounds again really good against hoardes of bugs or any large group chasing you chargers back sides will pop after id say about 5 or 6 good shots if not just mag dump stun grenades come in clutch you can just let them bleed out once its popped alot of people keep shooting it till it stops although it can take almost everything down with persistence alot of the time i will attempt a shot just to stun larger enemies. if you are good enough you can john wick through bases learning weak points will be helpful its almost guaranteed to stun range doesnt really effect flak as long as your line of sight is clear you can help team mates if they are getting over whelmed from any distance the increased reload upgrade effects the autocannon MASSIVELY the flak lets you shoot around corners if the enemies are walking around a corner or over a hill and you cant quite see them if you shoot close ish to the wall or over the hill the flak will explode on them that will take him and his mates out it will 1 shot most armored automatons in the head granted you got good aim (other primarys can do it too but it lets you carry something else)
Personally, it feels like the Illuminate are going to be a distraction while the bots get closer and closer to Super Earth. Hopefully we get a Mars defense campaign sometime next year.
Considering how a lot of Helldivers aren't even going to the Automaton campaigns like me and some, it's logically speaking not entirely off for the war effort to have the opposing factions work in unison with each other to destroy their great enemy, but also... more people really let the Automaton just roam free honestly, we need more of them in our defense and offensive campaigns or they definitely will come towards Super Earth.
It’s impossible to go against the robots. The Illuminates are actually good guys, and the Automatons are just an extension of the Cyborgs seeking revenge. Both sides have no ideological conflicts and share the same goal, so it wouldn’t make sense for them to have a conflict between each other. Perhaps there could be one with the Terminids, since, after all, they’re a kind of plague that wipes out all forms of life.
Personally I really hope the Lazer keeps its limit. I like to use sentries and actually fight my way through bases. Half the time with randoms I will use my sentries and be halfway done with the base then I see a beacon for a Lazer or 500 kg and I have to scramble to escape and they destroy all I was working on without thinking about it
i love stealth in helldivers, more over the ways you can absolutely bone the bots by throwing turrets as ddistractions, shooting their fabricators from miles away with the quasar cannon and be an absolute annoyance in chases with the jumpack
The same people that are just now discovering that they can sneak despite one of the armors we *started the game with* specifcially being meant for sneaking are the ones who were blubbering about "the Creek" being space vietnam.
People are becoming increasingly illiterate, and their attention span and retention capacity decrease as the years go by. You're one of the lucky few still capable of reading two sentences without getting bored lol.
I'd love too see a medal display cabinet and helldivers can earn unique medals of honour to display for taking part in iconic battles 😂 like a unique medal for malevelon creek and maybe a unique medal for beating the illuminate on calypso when it seemed impossible 😂 might just be me but I think it'd be awesome to look at our medal display and remember those sort of moments 😂
they should keep harmless bugs like being kicked around as a feature or i remember back when it released you could quickly end the victory pose and walk in front of the camera
Along side a 'Help!' callout, we should get a 'Nice Shot' callout. For when you see someone pull off a, well, nice shot Or snipe a shrieked nest from about 580 meters away with a Recoiless Rifle. No I'm not bragging lol 😊
i don't use the space laser because i like to have all my slots on demand and having only 3 uses of it seems useless compared to infinite 500kg mixed with gatling or airburst.
Something I just realized watching this video is, I am going to miss so much in the next 3 months because of going to boot camp. Hope I don't get lost like a elderly person with new technology lol.
Any major content will likely be dropped after they come back from vacation. I don't really foresee them dropping something big while on holiday break.
I mean, the Illuminate do have mind-control abilities. Maybe we'll have to deal with Illuminate variants of Bots and Bugs eventually. Imagine the Bots all glowing blue instead of red being lead by a Squid overseer, or a behemoth charger with glowing blue eyes coming at you with an arc field around it 😳
3:48 unlimited Orbital Lazer on a lower cooldown would be way better. Of course i think we should receive a better version at somepoint. Orbital Lazer Barrage: 3 powerful Orbital Lazers that start at the center and form a spiral of death for anything in the area
Laser orbital should be unlimited but with a 4 minute cooldown so it’s a great area deletion orbital but would overshadow other orbitals if the cooldown is the same.
They're really getting me too hyped for cross-faction battles, I think a dev said they've played around with it before but because of memory constraints it can't really work for actual missions. I hope they find a way around that in the future like they did with the vehicles, having multiple factions fight each other and also the Helldivers is such a perfect content progression for this game.
for the love of god we have to FIX the galactic war liberation system before we get a third front rolling. WE have a 1 front liberation system we were losing on both fronts and with a third we are SCREWED. a cap of 10% liberation just isnt enough with how strong the enemies are
Automatons and Illuminate joining mechanical and biological "conversions" to test their latest horrors on more civie test subjects? Wouldn't be surprised. Seems one inspired the other
Honestly, me and my friends do not enjoy the illuminate as they are mostly because the harvesters have an instant kill attack which they can whip around, change direction on, and which moves quite quick when it wants to meaning that even if you dodge / dive out of the way, it will still obliterate you. And that is just not fair.
I mean sometimes i think that five strategem slots should be standard there is so much fun with 5 instead of 4 and your build feels much more "fluid" i often dont take exosuit because i feel like i lose a lot of fire power in long run but getting it for free felt amazing and i did not feelt that i had a lack of fire power when i was outside of exosuit.
I hope the next major order gives us the ability to go after the tank or make it where we have to go and collect the limited Weaponry to reverse engineer it four super Earth
Wouldn’t it be cool if we could spend samples, medals, req slips on something? Imagine a game where you could spend in game currency on things… so there was a reason TO ACTUALY COLLECT THEM!!!!
My theory is after accidentally encountering the bugs, they kinda weirded out and went to the other side of the galaxy to go the long way around the the black hole, but woops, now they’ve just crashed into the bot front…silly squids
Bro, can you help me please? Since the end of last major order I can't play in squads anymore. My game crashes everytime I join someone's game or if someone joins my lobby 😭
Have you tried reinstalling? My game faces connection issues lately, mainly on squid planets, if I join someone's lobby I get disconnected, the same happens with those who join my lobby, but my game ain't crashing like yours is, maybe if you reinstall it that should fix it
4:41 Hold up a min. When did they change stealth? I use scout gear exclusively because of how easy it makes certain situations but I don't really see any changes in that video. Most enemies won't see you while prone with scout gear as long as you aren't right in front of them. I have crawled up to bots, bugs and squids with little issue as long as you don't approach them from the front and prone they won't notice you. I'm just very confused on what exactly they changed about stealth because from what I see in that clip and from what I've experienced myself nothing looks different. It looks like it works as it always did. Am I missing something or are people still not aware that stealth is a viable option in this game? 🤷♂
I miss when the automatons took away a strat and delayed your drops it was challenging and made you play better as a team also you had to actually plan your moves and use your lethal strats wisely because any mistake was extremely punishing some of us like the challenge and breeze through max difficulty 😂
The illuminate 100% will be a complaint point, in the first game there was a wizard that would reverse your commands, i can't wait to see him in this game, but i know, "modern audiences" aren't ready for it, i wanna see them punished.
….speaking of sneaking…we don’t have C-4 charges….that could take out buildings and bot tanks…probably chargers titans and harvesters if your crazy with a backpack…. .-.
The new kick emote is so funny. My buddies and I were board at extract (no hostiles). One of my buddies walked up and went "I need a hug" I yelled "NO" and kicked him in the groin sending him flying. The next 1:30 were spent of me and my buddies kicking each other around extraction. So hilarious, one of the best parts was getting the "worm" bug and hearing him say "yea, you stay down" then panicking and running away as I chase him down while "worming" my way over to him.
Hope they add some game details soon about how the war mechanics work. Since the Illuminates came there have been between 3k-`14k fighting on Vog-Sojoth on the automaton front yet we have been unable to liberate that world! If 3k-14k are not enough divers to impact things outside the major orders then how will we ever win the war outside of when Joel decides we can? Before the Illuminates 14k on a planet was a victory march yet now it was just enough to tread water. Love the new content but hate that all the useful information comes third party.
I received the second free kill zone drop on my ps5. Anyone else? Sadly I paid for a code for the Twitch drop armor when the game first came out. So I have it already and won’t be getting it for free :/. Hopefully there’s a way to get the pre order armor, I loved Helldivers 1 and played a ton of it on my PS4, then I didn’t have a console for about 2 years and the first thing I downloaded onto my PS5 when I got it was Helldivers 1. For some reason I had no idea that a Helldivers 2 was coming out otherwise i definitely would have gotten it in preorder. I just happened to look on the PS store the day HD2 came out and I was sooo excited I couldn’t believe it! Then I saw it was 3rd person and thought that was pretty sweet but was reading other HD1 players that were skeptical about it going 3rd person, lol. They thought it would take away from what made the game fun. Boy were they wrong 😂
To be honest, I just came back after like 6 months of being away and I'm a little disappointed. I've heard of the community complaining about difficulty, etc and that there were a ton of buffs. I've been running level 9 missions and it's honestly too easy. I don't feel the same adrenaline that I did in the first few months of release. Level 9/10 should be insanely hard, almost requiring a stacked and competent squad. I'm finding it boring. We all want to be able to succeed but damn I think the community complained a bit too much, we do need a real challenge.
"Guys guys! I was just passing through Meridia last Tuesday, and of course it's Taco Tuesday so I'm devouring the latest from Super Earth Taco Bell...so long story short...I farted, Meridia is now a black-hole, and the squids are pouring out of the black-hole. Wtf did they put in my tacos?"
If you're going to dive on the bot front, stop going to vog sogoth. 1.5% Regen Martale has a 00.00% Regen. Every little bit helps because our progress ISNT GETTING WIPED OUT EVERY HOUR. so dive on martale
i think we all agree that we need a shoulder pauldron cape added to the game like boba fett or warhammer.
We need mandalorian inspired armor soioooo much
That would look sick on Heavy Armor of which I love. Waiting on that super heavy armor.
We need a special calypso cape like the malevelon creek one. We were def not supposed to win that defence 😭
Shemagh cape. Think Strider or Ninja Gaiden
U want the cape of the EMPEROR
My headcanon is that the Illuminate are just checking upon their old faction buddies like a family member who hasn’t met you in a long time like “Hey guys, haven’t seen yall since the Last galactic War. Goodness y’all have grown since we last met.”
this is my headcanon now too, you’re a genius
"you were just a lil scout when i last saw you look at you now! all sharp with your charger armor"
The illuminate inspect the automaton weapons and go “Oh you upgraded your weaponary? I like I like…”
Squids are having a busy week at the recruitment center, voteless, bugs, and bots. Oh my 😂
😃😃😃
Jul is christmas in swedish, so the illuminate turning up at julheim is probably just a swedish joke
It is a little joke, however, during my time on Julheim I noticed the illuminated are way stronger. Even more numerous too.
There should always be a extra Stratagem on the Maps who are important for the Major Orders. That would attract more Divers on the right path.
So so...
@l1ouston oder findste nicht? 😅
Honestly this is a nice idea
OR
it could be a DSS ability, where the planet its on gives an extra strategem if people vote for that ability
honestly I wouldnt mind bonuses and megatives on MO planets making it just different. I remember the creek they you lost a strategem had a 50% cooldown time negative.

Some relatively new to the game but I've been enjoying it.
Welcome aboard diver!
Welcome too the brotherhood a merry Christmas!!!
Congrats on completing training fellow helldiver! For super earth and Liber-TEA🌎

Anyone else worried about the Squids poping up right next to the Clankers?
Imagine the illuminates join the war inbetween the robots and bugs... and eventually us hell divers have to fight all 3 on 1 front
It’s impossible to go against the robots. The Illuminates are actually good guys, and the Automatons are just an extension of the Cyborgs seeking revenge.

w need a jetpack that hovers for 15 seconds or more
I'd like to see the rovers double as jump packs when stored on our backs
Heat sink ship upgrade for the orbital laser incoming I bet. One or two extra uses like the eagle strike upgrade

Ses sword of war here illuminate taste like squid with a bit of salt and tearminid

What I would love to see is contested territory between two other factions (like bugs and bots or squids and bots, etc)

i don't use the space laser because i like to have all my slots on demand and having only 3 uses of it seems useless compared to infinite 500kg mixed with gatling or airburst.
It mostly works best as an "Instantly delete this entire objective with minimal effort" strategem especially for stuff like Automaton command bunkers
@@absoluteknifeofhyperstabby9233 yeah i get it, its just i find that a walking or plain 380 work enough for that.
Something I just realized watching this video is, I am going to miss so much in the next 3 months because of going to boot camp. Hope I don't get lost like a elderly person with new technology lol.
Any major content will likely be dropped after they come back from vacation. I don't really foresee them dropping something big while on holiday break.
I mean, the Illuminate do have mind-control abilities. Maybe we'll have to deal with Illuminate variants of Bots and Bugs eventually. Imagine the Bots all glowing blue instead of red being lead by a Squid overseer, or a behemoth charger with glowing blue eyes coming at you with an arc field around it 😳
Awesome autocannon is my 99% go to. Glad to see it's getting recognized.
3:48 unlimited Orbital Lazer on a lower cooldown would be way better. Of course i think we should receive a better version at somepoint. Orbital Lazer Barrage: 3 powerful Orbital Lazers that start at the center and form a spiral of death for anything in the area
Take a shot when he says "absolute/absolutely"😂
Imagine if there was like a spilt faction area like automatons/illuminate or illuminate/bugs I think that’s what there going for
The Obelisk is probably like a Automaton Cannon Turret.
Laser orbital should be unlimited but with a 4 minute cooldown so it’s a great area deletion orbital but would overshadow other orbitals if the cooldown is the same.
You can throw explosive into barrels into cars to make them fly
They're really getting me too hyped for cross-faction battles, I think a dev said they've played around with it before but because of memory constraints it can't really work for actual missions. I hope they find a way around that in the future like they did with the vehicles, having multiple factions fight each other and also the Helldivers is such a perfect content progression for this game.
They are making their presence known to them all.
I so want to see a 4-way battle with all the factions.
for the love of god we have to FIX the galactic war liberation system before we get a third front rolling. WE have a 1 front liberation system we were losing on both fronts and with a third we are SCREWED. a cap of 10% liberation just isnt enough with how strong the enemies are
welcome to helldivers. ever played the first game? we're supposed to be on the backfoot constantly
@shoulderpyro yes I did play the first game. You win the war or lost the war both outcomes. Not this silly circle of pointlessness
We need a cape for genesis prime. The return of the illuminate was something.
I want the emote wheel to at least be doubled. I don’t want to choose between the “at ease” and RPS anymore.
Automatons and Illuminate joining mechanical and biological "conversions" to test their latest horrors on more civie test subjects? Wouldn't be surprised. Seems one inspired the other
ive been on vacation... FOR 4 DAYS AND THE ILLUMINATE ARE AT WAR WITH THE AUTOMATONS!?
@Cloudplay awesome video 💯
Top weapon of the year in HD2? Pistol Grenade easy!
"floats like Doctor X's chair" ......
Honestly, me and my friends do not enjoy the illuminate as they are mostly because the harvesters have an instant kill attack which they can whip around, change direction on, and which moves quite quick when it wants to meaning that even if you dodge / dive out of the way, it will still obliterate you. And that is just not fair.
This is my vote to upgrade the orbital laser to the planet-glassing lasers from Halo
or at least hammer of dawn
I mean sometimes i think that five strategem slots should be standard there is so much fun with 5 instead of 4 and your build feels much more "fluid" i often dont take exosuit because i feel like i lose a lot of fire power in long run but getting it for free felt amazing and i did not feelt that i had a lack of fire power when i was outside of exosuit.
The gas mines were so fun to use on defenses
I hope the next major order gives us the ability to go after the tank or make it where we have to go and collect the limited Weaponry to reverse engineer it four super Earth
The squids are trying to find and take our DSS
I honestly wanna know when we’re gonna get that new leaver action rifle on the new game cover
Cmon let's go new Dark/Void element! I want to become a VoidDiver!
I was in that jousting clip, and yes it’s a lot of fun
Wouldn’t it be cool if we could spend samples, medals, req slips on something? Imagine a game where you could spend in game currency on things… so there was a reason TO ACTUALY COLLECT THEM!!!!
My theory is after accidentally encountering the bugs, they kinda weirded out and went to the other side of the galaxy to go the long way around the the black hole, but woops, now they’ve just crashed into the bot front…silly squids
Would the automations ever team up with the illuminates?
Bro, can you help me please?
Since the end of last major order I can't play in squads anymore. My game crashes everytime I join someone's game or if someone joins my lobby 😭
Have you tried reinstalling? My game faces connection issues lately, mainly on squid planets, if I join someone's lobby I get disconnected, the same happens with those who join my lobby, but my game ain't crashing like yours is, maybe if you reinstall it that should fix it
Same, and it’s only on squid missions. I’m on ps5
i like how you can kick voteless with the emote it just feels very democratic
Reading the comments to hit that 10 min mark is too funny
Would be cool if the Illuminate's next units are slaves from the bugs and bots the same way they enslaved humans
4:41 Hold up a min. When did they change stealth? I use scout gear exclusively because of how easy it makes certain situations but I don't really see any changes in that video. Most enemies won't see you while prone with scout gear as long as you aren't right in front of them. I have crawled up to bots, bugs and squids with little issue as long as you don't approach them from the front and prone they won't notice you.
I'm just very confused on what exactly they changed about stealth because from what I see in that clip and from what I've experienced myself nothing looks different. It looks like it works as it always did. Am I missing something or are people still not aware that stealth is a viable option in this game?
🤷♂
I hope they never "fix" the Hellpod kicking feature
I miss when the automatons took away a strat and delayed your drops it was challenging and made you play better as a team also you had to actually plan your moves and use your lethal strats wisely because any mistake was extremely punishing some of us like the challenge and breeze through max difficulty 😂
The illuminate 100% will be a complaint point, in the first game there was a wizard that would reverse your commands, i can't wait to see him in this game, but i know, "modern audiences" aren't ready for it, i wanna see them punished.
….speaking of sneaking…we don’t have C-4 charges….that could take out buildings and bot tanks…probably chargers titans and harvesters if your crazy with a backpack…. .-.
Meridia was 100x crazier than Melevalon Creek. We definitely deserve a cape for that.
They are getting closer to malevolent creek
The new kick emote is so funny. My buddies and I were board at extract (no hostiles). One of my buddies walked up and went "I need a hug" I yelled "NO" and kicked him in the groin sending him flying. The next 1:30 were spent of me and my buddies kicking each other around extraction. So hilarious, one of the best parts was getting the "worm" bug and hearing him say "yea, you stay down" then panicking and running away as I chase him down while "worming" my way over to him.
This game has me in a chokehold
I want boost on the cars or even jet packs on the mechs and it'd be amazing and funny
Hope they add some game details soon about how the war mechanics work. Since the Illuminates came there have been between 3k-`14k fighting on Vog-Sojoth on the automaton front yet we have been unable to liberate that world! If 3k-14k are not enough divers to impact things outside the major orders then how will we ever win the war outside of when Joel decides we can? Before the Illuminates 14k on a planet was a victory march yet now it was just enough to tread water. Love the new content but hate that all the useful information comes third party.
Do you think the illuminate are looking for the wormhole?
i wonder if we get a new real MO this Year because the Christmas MO ends saturday 28.12.2024 0:20 and AH is in Vacation to
purifier top and close second is charging blast shootty third collab smg
I received the second free kill zone drop on my ps5. Anyone else? Sadly I paid for a code for the Twitch drop armor when the game first came out. So I have it already and won’t be getting it for free :/. Hopefully there’s a way to get the pre order armor, I loved Helldivers 1 and played a ton of it on my PS4, then I didn’t have a console for about 2 years and the first thing I downloaded onto my PS5 when I got it was Helldivers 1. For some reason I had no idea that a Helldivers 2 was coming out otherwise i definitely would have gotten it in preorder. I just happened to look on the PS store the day HD2 came out and I was sooo excited I couldn’t believe it! Then I saw it was 3rd person and thought that was pretty sweet but was reading other HD1 players that were skeptical about it going 3rd person, lol. They thought it would take away from what made the game fun. Boy were they wrong 😂
I’ve been away for a bit is the 5th stratagem slot temporary for Christmas or is it permanent?
To be honest, I just came back after like 6 months of being away and I'm a little disappointed. I've heard of the community complaining about difficulty, etc and that there were a ton of buffs. I've been running level 9 missions and it's honestly too easy. I don't feel the same adrenaline that I did in the first few months of release. Level 9/10 should be insanely hard, almost requiring a stacked and competent squad. I'm finding it boring. We all want to be able to succeed but damn I think the community complained a bit too much, we do need a real challenge.
"Guys guys! I was just passing through Meridia last Tuesday, and of course it's Taco Tuesday so I'm devouring the latest from Super Earth Taco Bell...so long story short...I farted, Meridia is now a black-hole, and the squids are pouring out of the black-hole. Wtf did they put in my tacos?"
I hope AR bring back the Trident laser shotgun from HD1
If you're going to dive on the bot front, stop going to vog sogoth. 1.5% Regen
Martale has a 00.00% Regen. Every little bit helps because our progress ISNT GETTING WIPED OUT EVERY HOUR. so dive on martale
