[@sunbreakerqueenofbronze621]

I love that stupid video

[@solaireofastora5999]

Considering that said 4 teams of soldiers CAN complete the mission, they are elite. The idea is the same as a Helljumper and Spartan. They're specialized soldiers sent on suicide missions to turn the tide which is why sending a butt load of them is a lot more risky as you'd be wasting valuable resources if everything goes wrong. They aren't SEAF soldiers or Guardsman, they're closer to being a shock trooper like the Kasrkins

[@spinal_rat]

exactly, these helldivers aren't trained for "5 minutes" and the tut isnt the only training. if that were, none of these soldiers would even be properly trained to survive a trbial mission, let alone reload a gun. they've joined SEAF at 9, and Super Earth culture is militarism, so they've been trained for almost their entire life. And even rewarded a gun just for turning 16.

[@carlosvicenty-9856]

Thank you, because nobody understands that they are elite soldiers they’re going into missions against hundreds of things that could instantly kill them and are using war crimes mind control antitank weapons, and all of that crap on human beings and winning. They even have vastly superior kill count to like Americas best soldiers and there’s only four of them

[@49mozzer]

They are very expensive cannon fodder

[@carlosvicenty-9856]

@@49mozzer Not at all they are only considered canon fodder because there’s so many of them, but they all really elite soldiers the average hell diver Gets 3 to 4 times the kills a Navy seal gets mind you multiple of those things that kill are things that are the size of the buildings or actually moving buildings not only that the spear what is a better javelin and a single javelin rocket costs $1 million they get four rockets meaning they are definitely not expendable because their equipment is expensive as hell they are kind of expendable just because there’s so many of them but you get the point I’m trying to make

[@TheChampionofthepeople]

Although Helldivers are dispencable, a Helldiver is an elite citizen in Helldivers Lore. The population is much bigger and to be a Helldiver you have to be an elite war veteran but there are thousands like you. Except John Helldiver probably, he’s probably the best HD.

It's a joke about how Super Mario 64 every copy is personalized was a thing on most 64 icebergs.

[@Shinransa]

The blue laser conspiracy theories can easily be debunked as shell-shocked Helldivers seeing their teammates' ricochets unexpectedly zoom across their visor as the tracers turn blue after bouncing off hard surfaces. Super Earth's Ministry of Intelligence would've been aware of any real squid espionage and reconnaissance operation ahead of the Illuminates' return.

[@jefferymosdell2490]

Sure. Just like they were aware of Shriekers and Factory Striders. Everything is on a need to know basis until you needed to know yesterday. Mark my words, HighCom is going to regret their cloak and dagger tactics.

[@spookubus]

Misconception!! Helldivers are ELITE SOLDIERS maybe not in the same way Master Chief or the ODST are but every Helldiver needs 6 months (I think, might be more or less time) as a S.E.A.F. soldier before they can become a Helldiver. The average Helldivers age is 18 and their life span is 2 seconds because A. Super Earths society and their military go hand in hand, encouraging service by age 16. B. Helldivers are dropped far behind enemy lines after SEAF forces have been pushed back already. So they essentially fight on the war's most dangerous battlefields. Of course they're gonna die. All in all we are not clueless meat bags sent to our death, we are the best of the best. That still doesn't mean we're all that great though, we just have the numbers to win

One thing I've never seen mentioned online or in these iceburgs is the 'fence smashing' references in the game. Several of the engineer branded armours have references in their description to how effective they are for smashing fences etc. I've not been able to find any explanation for this and assumed it was an inside joke from the first game or something. Anyone else have any info?

[@korstmahler]

[@TardyTech4428]

38:03 A correction for the Tekken meme for very few of those who might be interested. This is the input of Electric Wind God Fist (or EWGF), a very powerful and arguably the best move in Tekken that evades attacks, completely safe and if you land gives you a full combo resulting in massive damage. Although it requires good execution since last 2 buttons (down-forward and triangle) need to be pressed at exactly the same frame

Great vid ! Hope you dont disapear for you'r... questionnable theories on super heaths motivations Justice for pragg snarbo !

[@GeneralHaha1]

Automatons churn human bodies for bio fuel, just like humans churning terminids for E-710. Also on I think super helldive, you'd be facing automaton fortress that when destroyed will have you transport an automaton head back to extraction. It yields some samples but I can't help but to consider about the automatons built on human brains theory

[@Idontknowwhattoputherea]

50:38 Well its obviously because while everyone else was developing anti nuclear defenses, the UK was researching enhanced tea or something...

[@Nikos.]

I keep getting these dates mixed up, I think it’s bc 2184 the second war started, so I keep thinking the other one started in 2084. In reality, the first helldivers takes place in the final year of the war, 2084, and the war started around 2044, which is insane considering how much of the galaxy humanity inhabited when in 2025 we haven’t even gone to mars yet

I just hope they hurry it up and open it up to everyone again to buy.

Still won’t be as much as meridia. The recorded amount for malevelon creek is like 25 mil while meridia’s was around 42mil. I mean them losing count because the servers were overloaded doesn’t make sense anyway, that would just mean people wouldn’t be able to really play. No matter what it wasnt down long enough to lose count of like 20mil. I mean meridia had 30 million die in 2 days, how wouldn’t that overload the servers? We’re underestimating how much a million is.

[@MrProriya]

12:06 Dudes are always on about "helldivers are cannon fodder bro they're nobodies!!" They aren't, they are an advanced military division, trained in large numbers. Tell me, what cannon fodder militia can team reload an anti tank launcher while under heavy fire from automaton scum, what cannon fodder knows how to use every single support weapon effectively, and pilot an exo suit. They are just an elite force, trained on mass, because the scale of super earth's empire is fucking massive, they are trained in proportion to the populations of the many planets inhabited.

[@Nikos.]

they're definitely professionals, surprising considering how short the helldiver training course is, but they definitely get thrown away like they're nothing

[@MrProriya]

@Nikos. The short training in my opinion isn't the training phase, but it's the final examination that tests all their skills, because by that time, you're seen wearing full body armor, already know how to maintain battle stamina, are largely immune to suppressive fire (two miniguns shooting over your head).

[@Nikos.]

@@MrProriya Interesting point, but in the end I do find it interesting you're frozen at all times unless needed for combat, and the fact that high command will just seemingly dump small squads of infantry on exceedingly difficult, borderline suicide missions. Perhaps they're respected as elite, and they perform like elite soliders, but at the end of the day we can all agree they're treated like cannon fodder

[@MrProriya]

The whole Helldivers 2 nerfs came from the same dev from Hello Neighbor 2. He just hates the fact that the game might have been an open world game and got rid of a lot of features. He's now working at Arrowhead and is part of the major reasons that nerfs went out to fan favorite weapons because of the spreadsheet balancing they had, biggest being the Eruptor. He hates things that gamers find as fun and actively attacked gamers for calling him out in both Hello Neighbor and Helldivers 2.
