Так станим на защиту супер земли
ууууууууууууууууууууураааааааааааааааааа
Squids are here for our Budder! Liberty protect us!
SES Custodian of Humanity. This is R4 squad has been MIA since landfall, ammo is low, stims are gone. I am currently overrun and outnumbered lock on my coordinates and level it with the 380s Calipso STANDS!
The 115th Blitz Assault Battalion is holding the line until other factions arrive to reinforce defenses!
We are so back!
Rally to Calypso! Those squids should’ve stayed extinct, now they’re gonna taste hell diver fury
Plasma weapons work well on the staffed illuminate. Fire is amazing on the cannon fodder!
When?
General brasch exterminated the iluminate with just a peacemaker
Then he pulled the trigger
This is hilarious we have already liberated the sector they are in
This is Scottzip 'call sing Sotvier' of the SES Wings of starlight ready to begin the fight, to all Helldivers call upon yourselves, do you stand with me into fires of hell against the corrupt squid face hinge heads, to defend earth and her colonies?
SES WINGS OF FREEDOM IS LEAVING THE IMPERIUM ASAP
FOR DEMOCRACY
LOOKS LIKE CALAMARI IS BACK ON THE MENU, BOYS!!!
I know the illuminate is cool but how is a video of a waterboarding squirrel a headline
Personal Log, Captain Varnell of the SES Marshal of Conviction. This log is being broadcast on the wideband fleet net under the Democratic Forums Act, and spread for tactical and strategic gain. Should any Democracy Officers take issue, file protest after this has been broadcast.
We arrived within minutes of the alert being sounded. About a dozen ships. We've been skirmishing in orbit, but nothing serious beyond that.
Our complement of Helldivers however, that's a different story. Our Eagle pilots have been sending us their footage and when we can get guncam footage or helmet footage, things are, bleak.
The reports of Civilians being harvested and turned is correct. As horrifying as it is they rank below even Terminid's weakest forms. My men have reported that even a scorcher pistol can save you from over a dozen of them and conserve more important ammo for the bigger threats. Like the actual Illuminate.
The actual Illuminate seem to be mostly shock troopers and heavy weapon teams. Some show melee aptitude but closing the gap is how you beat them. Again, Flame weaponey is unexpectedly powerful against them in general. Autocannona and Recoiless rifles have been something our vessel has always had a standout record with. But I would only use these if your Super Destroyer has nothing better. Exosuits are middling but the Illuminate always seem to prioritize them. Maybe trauma from the last war?
Now, the bigger issue is their buildings and their one heavy weapon so far. The walkers are taller than even a factory strider. What we've pieced together from the footage is the shielding. Treat it like one of our own, smoke the shield and follow it up quickly with another shot. The walkers are thin, but weak after the shield fails.
Now, I'm submitting my own opinion here at the end of the report. Consider this, the opinion of a seasoned Super Destroyer Captain.
Every drop we have sent so far has been incredibly hazardous. And the Illuminate are worse than the bots or the bogs with screwing around and sabotaging our mission capabilities. And the one Diver we have gotten back… well, I have filed for a section 8 for a damn good reason. Expect a lot of Shell-Shocked Divers Captains. I don't like this. We're on a rest cycle waiting for a Hellpod resupply and won't be launching for another day or two. But I've been watching the footage from other ships. The Illuminate are testing us. This is a Vanguard, and if the Vanguard is giving us trouble? We need to square up. Nobody wants to say it, so I will. We're already hard pressed against the bots and the bugs. Now the Squids return. We are in for a hard time unless Super Earth escalates the arsenal again.
FOR FREEDOM!!!
The Ministry of Truth approves this message
just you wait for skat bay
Im in school and missed the whole planet liberation… What luck…
But when I come back I'll make sushi, Helldivers dinner is on me.
HELLDIVERS is about to go viral 😂
Chaos Divers Assembl
THEY’RE EVERYWHERE OH GOD
SO MANY INNOCENTS TRANSMUTATED
THE TRIPODS ARE DESTRUCTIVE
17th Draupnirian Rangers here, currently fighting in Calypso, HEAVY CASUALTIES!
Prophet of Justice reporting for duty. ✊
We have responded to the Illuminate invasion and are progressing through enemy territory. We are also packing arc-throwers, blitzers, and laser cannons for anyone who will join us. Remember the creed established by old earth. We live in the dark to serve the light.
Minimal casualties xD LOL
1st Wardiver division Cadet reporting! The i lluminate outnumbers us in 1:10000 aka 1:10K ratio and they spawning Highly tanky units. This reported on Stage 1 Danger zones in calypso! In higher Level zones of Calypso The situation is reported to be 2000 times worse. Theoratically i'm the last one standing in D7 aka one Of most Highest Dangerous sectors with Danger Ratio 11! Illuminate yeeting everything they got! They not messing around They deploying heavy striders like automatons has but infused their energy based tech and they spam them like Kamikaze units from a war simulator called "Red alert". Before you could take one down they replace it with 20 additional ones.
It might sound undemocratic but loss of calypso is guaranteed. Rescue the civillians!! FOR SUPER EARTH AND DEMOCRACY!
FOR ILLUMINATES!!!
More will come.
Note that the arc thrower performs poorly v the flying ones as it seems not to track their hovering, clears out the hordes well though
And just like the other two factions in HD2, they are target practice compared to what they were in HD1. Really hate how much they dumbed down the game.
Unsubstantiated and undemocratic rumours that this is merely the Illuminate's vanguard forces probing our defences is are clearly false. This is obviously all these pathetic aliens have, barely capable of contesting a single planet with their supposed "superior" technology. Do you know what's actually superior? Liberty and managed democracy. I have no doubt the Illuminate will be defeated quickly, it will all be over before Christmas.
am glad they are back but now they are pissed and ready to teach super earth a lesson about revenge
i think its stupid the ILLUMINATE a super high tech race lost to a species that cant get along with its self and a bunch of hairless apes beat them wow why thu ?
“and have already killed many of the intolerant squid-like terrorists while taking minimal casualties.”
lol they already know how easy difficulty 10 is against them (at the moment) compared to the other factions.
There is no war on calypso🙂. Go back to your homes citizens the illuminate is a myth. There is no war on calypso.
113th Purifier Corps. here.
our flame throwers are hot and ready!
Let's make some calamari boys!
This is just their scouting battalion. We yet to see their high councils to come into play. Damn…
This is helldiver P21 representative of the alliance of harmony and super earth
We are under MAJOR assault here!
WE NEED BACKUP ASAP!
My wife's cousin's brother was on Calypso.. Those damn dirty squids are gonna pay.. FFOORRR SSUUPPEERR EARRRTHHH!
What’s worse is that the automatons are close to super earth
"Footage of waterboarding Squirrel goes viral"
Helldivers waterboarded Squirrel girl lmao
Good video👍
Okay, so the news within the news at the bottom;
"Mot starts worldview reinforcement program to defend against mind control."
Now, why do I have a feeling that's going to backfire somehow in someway?
"Colony defense spending increased."
Uh….um, yeah, that happens when one is at war, on multiple fronts, I'll give that a pass on criticism.
"Robo-panda decommissioned following attach on zoo-goer."
Probably bot control? I'm saying this as these little teed-bits will often also give clues on future updates, so probably not, but with this game, anything is possible as of right now.
"Patriotism best defense against Illuminate mind control, says MOT."
Yeah, tell that to the vote-less, they weren't far flung colonist, there were closer to the core and developed.
"Footage of waterboarding squirrel goes viral."
Maybe nothing, however, will probably come back in the news, like the 'Cow/chicken/pork' thing, like the after mentioned 'Robo-panda'.
"New bill increases military spending."
Again, that's to be expected when one is at war, on multiple fronts.
In the video itself, I've got one mention;
"The Helldivers deployed immanently in response to the Illuminate and have already killed many of the intolerant squid like menace, while taking minimal casualties."
Yeah, that's a bit harder to sell, on a Super Destroyer, when you just came back from a mission. Again, this is why I think we'll someday see a 'civil war' in the game between players.
+Log started+
This is an emergency message from the SES soul of democracy.I
My super destroyer has had its it's systems wiped out and loads of illuminate ships are attacking us.
we've been lucky to have been out of planet's gravitational pull.
The crew has worked frantically to get systems back online but our gun and missile pods have been destroyed.
To any helldivers out their hurry towards calypso and provide emergency aid.
+Log has ended+
Tell the squids to put up an actual fight in their next invasion.
Otherwise they're going to be even easier than Terminids at this point.
