I was watching the GAs online with Helldiver streamers seeing what awards Sony bought for themselves, when the trailer dropped. Someone in chat said that the Illuminate were in the game and the stream immediately bailed on the awards, updated the game, and got to spilling ink. Helldivers had some 39K in-game that night, by the end it had almost 200K. It felt like the early days of the game. We're so back!

I dont know guys, but Arrowhead studio feel like current top tier developers. This video alone show that they have great mind and having fun while making this game for us gamers. No BS around, just pure fun and chaos. This is Live game done right. I love their humor and how they even put bugs/mistakes into lore.
My favourite thing about this new update isn't even the introduction of the new enemy type or the new war bonds but the music for the illuminates the guys at arrowhead really nailed that for me
This game has seriously changed my stance on Multiplayer live service gaming. Kudos to the best community and the best developers Arrowhead that listen to the community! 👏
The vehicle should give you an option to don seat belt. It cost 1 or 2 seconds to don and prevent you from falling off the vehicle. The downside is that you can't leave the vehicle as quickly since you have to doff it.
On the battlefield those 2 seconds could be the difference we between life or death. Trust a civilian to ask for such a feature. Say thank you to those on the front line risking life and limb in the name of freedom and liberty.
I see smiling Johan, I also smile. I am so happy that the team at AH have listened to the community and is taking great strides towards more enjoyment, and I cannot wait for more! Oops, my 1 minute 30 second lunch break is done gotta get back to the fight D:
Helldivers is such a special game and franchise. Thank you, Arrowhead for this awesome experience! Also, don't think I didn't see that lever action rifle in the splash art!
I think Illuminates wanna get something on the Meridia singularity, maybe extract energy. It looks like on this banner Helldivers are defending the Meridia singularity
@@TheFrenchClipper Would be cool, but devs said as for now, 2 factions battles aren't working properly because of memory requirements. Hopefully they'll manage to fix it
Excellent work! I stopped playing this game last March and then started again a couple weeks ago, it's more fun than ever at this point and I'm playing regularly now. It's extremely fun now. 💙💀
I thought the tripods would give me anxiety, but seeing that drone turn purple and shoot up enemy recon beams is a ptsd simulator. Made me love the game even more.
You have no idea what you're in for. Wait until the invisible squids come, the giants sphere that creates a energy wall that cuts you off and traps you, the squids that fly in a machine and when they shoots a energy ball at you, all your controls are reversed
There’s currently no supply lines from Aurora Bay or Merak into the rest of the Valdis sector and that’s for a reason. The bots have no doubt dug in heavily on those planets bordering their homeworld and thus we will need the combined might of all divers to push past them. For now let’s just focus on not losing any ground to either faction.
True, but the bots are also dangerously close to super-earth currently. After the Illuminate got pushed back, they should make a major order to reclaim territory from the automatons. We need to protect super earth at all costs!
Traitor detected. Even the act of considering non-compliance with the SEAF Major Order is an act of high treason, let alone discussing it publicly. I will be reporting this to your Democracy Officer and you should expect Truth Enforcers on your ship within the hour.
@@d-bomb17 This is it. Cyberstan needs to be unique, and I'm sure we'll see it at a later date, but AH likely just doesn't have the content ready for it. So there aren't even supply lines connecting it to prevent an eager player base from getting there too early.
I love the Illuminate. It's such a breath of fresh air man. Not only that, I love that they're tough like the bots(think Hulks and Devastators)but they also have the Voteless that swarm you similar to the Terminids. It's such a wonderful combo.
Please let us repair damaged car. 🙏 anyways love all this new stuff really has made the game even more enjoyable. And congratulations on your success and wins.
i'd happily trade a secondary for a repair-tool, espefcially if that also meant the ability to repair broken turrets, maybe fix up some random terrain-tile elements and fix things like the defence-mode walls (ideally via welding actual armour plates to the area affected rather than via stim-style magical hitpoint regeneration)
“Thoughtful about how you approach them” All I need is a spear and shield. A few against the fateful horde, Hellenic hearts are set aflame the hot gates call my name.
I think the most impressive thing about all of this, is that we have all been complaining we want features like this FOR OVER SIX MONHTS... and the entire time, they have been quietly working on them, planning to release them, and haven't given us a hint whatsoever that this was all going on behind the scenes. Then... BAM!!!!... Urban warfare
The thought of losing my ability to engage in democracy is more terrifying than any bug
We will end this nightmare brother!
Yeah thats what the helldivers for
To bring democracy! (kinda)
Chills run my spine when I imagine the idea of not being able to file my super taxes

@@LtCWest It was amazing to witness!
@TheBusNinja
this just shows the lengths that super earth's finest are willing to go to see the enemies of democracy slain!
We literally managed to get more deaths than Malevolon Creek in two days
One of my favorite aspects is how UFO-like the music is while being quite aggressive.
i liked if for more of its cyber Egyptian vibe which is kinda alien i suppose

Agreed! They are so funny. I can't stop laughing while playing Helldivers 2.
I'm so addicted to this game. 😍
@@lil_hajzl_smejdI’d say being under Microsoft is even worse

My favourite thing about this new update isn't even the introduction of the new enemy type or the new war bonds but the music for the illuminates the guys at arrowhead really nailed that for me
The music is amazing, yeah. Equal parts shlocky B-movie sci fi and genuinely creepy.
Feels really creepy and retro!
The music when the harvesters show up is awesome
Yes the eerie alien sounds 👽
The music gives me major Mass Effect vibes
HELLDIVERS 2 is the best multiplayer game
Should've also been game of the year. Just from the impact it had on the gaming industry alone should've been enough to be considered.
@@steved3737Didn’t even get nominated which is ridiculous
@@Sacrifeast Yeah, at the bare minimum nominated
Honestly I don’t think any game should be considerable for “Game of the Year” if it isn’t available on all major platforms.
@@ItAlwaysEnds ?
One of my favorite is how UFOy the music is, but still amazingly intense.
Definetly has those oriental sci-fi vibes to it!
tenet soundtrack but in game
Imo, TF2's Mann vs Machine theme fits them well too
The Fast Recon Vehicle is a hilarious death trap 😂
It like they are not using normal tyre
They are using butter tyre

Is that the technical term for putting on a seatbelt? Donning and doffing?

On the battlefield those 2 seconds could be the difference we between life or death. Trust a civilian to ask for such a feature. Say thank you to those on the front line risking life and limb in the name of freedom and liberty.
It should have the RvB Warthog music and the option for the player to drive in slow motion.
My personal game of the year.
Hundreds of hours of fun and amazing memories with my friends. Devs, your love for the game shows. Thank you
they actually explained @ 2:00 the voteless is people who lost the ability to vote lol

That recon vehicle is so hard to drive 😂 it took me a minute to realize you had to manually shift gears!
