20k views!!?!? Holy guacamole!!! Thank you all for the support. More gaming content will be coming in the future.

[@BoatsAreCoolBro]

the martian madness and moon lord themes fit this and the sheer terror so well.

[@strikeratc9918]

friendly reminder for everyone that the walker is their equivalent of the CHARGER. JUST the charger we are so boned

[@dougwark6150]

Another comparison is the hulk (That also makes the overseers the devastators equivalent)

[@Red_block_tales]

Walker? You mean harvester?

[@Red_block_tales]

Harvester is the equivalent to a charger

[@spoton6010]

@@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

[@TheHuffur]

@@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!

[@NitroGod97]

The Star Wars droid noises followed by the “they fly now” is hilarious!

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.

[@Quickstein]

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.

[@Qwiznos]

@@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

[@harpuiaarchwing5828]

I've been using the Purifier and it usually 2 shots the Overseers. The Tesla Tower is great for the Voteless.

[@ReddCrystal]

The running gag of that dramatic music every time you get melee ambushed by an overseer got a chuckle out of me.

[@KniteHoodGaming]

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.

[@LoboNoir-vk8wf]

THE CREEEEKKKK I rise from the ashes with Grandpappy’s old armor to curbstomp some Squids!!!!!!!!

[@BedirKhan]

Tip about the Harvesters: - That little horn on their heads is actually their shield generator. If you destroy it, they wont be able to reinstate their bubble. - The limbs between the head and the top of their legs, or their "shoulders" are the easiest to hit weakspot, an auto cannon usually takes 3-4 bullets to take them out on that spot (i think)

[@nicovlogs632]

YALL ARE SO FIRE> EDITS ARE AWESOME! please keep uploading my new dawgs

[@Robert_Zietz]

Most underrated channel ever

[@spartan078ben]

I'd love a cosmetic mod that makes the observer a probe droid from Star Wars...

[@wafflecon6029]

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.

[@TheHuffur]

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

[@endlessgalaxyz]

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

[@jeremiahwright4450]

truue!

[@T.L.I1330]

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!

[@endlessgalaxyz]

@@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

[@EMPIREOFTHESENSES]

Agreed

[@deliagerhard6997]

Very true

[@BigBeef443]

That title deserves more recognition

[@GooberTrollGaming]

Every time I say a sequel or something similar to another thing I just say, “[blank] 2: Electric Boogaloo.”

[@Nlcup]

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 )

[@calebkelly8221]

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

[@FrenchBaguetteTank]

this is old but i would rather take a assault rifle or shotgun because they are able to quickly take out shields, unlike energy weapons

[@gang-ridertv5433]

I get it, Vode An plays when the Melle illuminates show because they fight like magnagaurds with staves.

[@nickopetra]

when the mind control guy? squid = bad

[@frencerenniermendoza5047]

🔥edit!!! This channel deserves more subs!!

[@calebkelly8221]

This is one of the best Helldivers videos of the update. Stand proud, u cooked.

[@krystallinekris]

Terraria alien music works well for the aliens. Who woulda thought?

[@GenericProtagonist7]

I call them blus, so it fits with the naming scheme we've had so far; Bugs, bots, and blus.

[@Riley_MDS]

Ok you having small sub count shocked me, holy hell this is a good content... Keep it up, I'll sub

[@chaster_mief]

You brought the constitution rifle and an smg to fight an advanced alien race who actually knows how to manufacture armor to your first engagement with them

[@T.L.I1330]

AJ here (from the video). Yeah it wasn’t the brightest decision. Trust me, I learned my lesson quick. That’s why I didn’t bring it during the defense mission at the end lol.

[@tensio7182]

imma just try to pick air strike laser 500k and recoilless

[@polir2023]

A tip for the overseers, you can one shot the overseers with a headshot from the senator

[@freevulture5607]

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

[@talkingtakotaco8611]

From what i can gather, the force shields on harvesters/walkers and bases go down quick when using rapid fire guns. Harvesters/walkers also go down easier if you hit the joints for their legs right next to their heads. So not the head directly.

[@kurtking8046]

Use straffing runs to knockout the shields. The big laser cannon is good for shields but it takes a little longer. The Sam sites are a godsend for the dropships so I usually find that as fast as it can. The anti tank turret takes like 3 shots to drop them. The harvesters u can get close to because they usually try to zap u but the electric resistant suit tanks alot of the damage

[@jdbb3gotskills]

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

[@Medilenman]

in my personal opinion, I think Super Helldive is pretty fun on the illuminates

[@Tempestaii_alt]

Underrated channel

[@m4n1987]

I played one game on "Medium" solo against the illuminate and got ragdoll stun locked and i havent played against them since

[@hansmuller7859]

THEY HAVE TAKEN THE CREEK!?!?!?!!?

[@joejoe0213]

What was the music used at 5:10, I’m on the verge of having a memory unlocked but I just cat remember.

[@T.L.I1330]

Pretty sure it is Vode An from Republic Commando.

[@joejoe0213]

how do you have a 1/9 of the subs i do but have content nine times better than mine seriously underrated channel .

[@ItsMadLadSir]

Hey, what’re Steam users doing about the Kernel anticheat? Just askin.

[@AndrewAspiringGamer]

Sir, the Arc Thrower is good everywhere. Though as I identify as an Arcsexual, I may be biased.

[@dragonhunter2343]

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.

[@AndrewAspiringGamer]

@@dragonhunter2343 The squids have given me the bad habit of destroying every Tesla tower I see, friendly or otherwise😅

[@tacticalviking3773]

Part 2?

[@T.L.I1330]

AJ here (from the video and the editor of the video). Probably won’t be a part two in the sense that it will be another illuminate related video, but trust me, more helldivers content is in the pipeline. But I need a break 🫠 been grinding on heavily edited videos for a while now.

[@kingbach-iousiii4227]

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.

[@AnxiousMrDnD]

have you used the car yet?

[@T.L.I1330]

Check out our latest short to see how using the car has gone for us…

[@Grimwolfmachia]

There’s a trick to the squids, but the biggest tip I ever got was use the dominator as your primary and the medium armor pen pistol that way you can damage overseers and destroy the shield horns on the harvesters
