The Illuminate Revived Helldivers 2

[@spookubus]

Imagine gobbling up the schlop cod feeds us every year but hating this game lmao

[@TheCorgies]

the city map with destructible building is sooooo good. it's like a new game!

[@TurtleSauceGaming]

I love that renn has found his new destiny

[@CakeSublime]

It's for the best-iny?

[@ayrtonpapageorgiou2679]

literally thinking the same thing

[@5hane9ro]

It's my new Destiny as well. Which, just like Renn, was my new Halo after 4 & 5

[@lRedPosion]

But at what cost?

[@jalontf2]

The moment I unlocked the anti-tank emplacement, it has been glued to my loadout ever since. Double Emplacement gaming is the future

[@izumolee6714]

Cool thing about the Illuminate is that we haven't even seen their full roster of units yet, as Helldiver 1 veterans know there is going to be even more craziness once all of their units are out. Fear the WALLS lol.

[@CaptainKillroy]

Now I am scared

[@rhynn3318]

NOT THE WALLS !

[@dominikbury2]

Not sure how would that work with 3rd person perspective

[@KrimsonStorm]

@@dominikbury2 i mean it projects a beam that turns into a wall. not hard to code and there can be plenty of counterplay too. Im just curious if the walls will too high for jumppacks or not

[@Jorasaurus]

I like the idea that if the enemies are too strong and they need to be nerfed, I would like it if they made that part of the MO. If we want the enemies to be weaker we got to earn that. We have to do like a major order to sabotage one of their supply chains or something thus giving them a Nerf after we complete it.

[@MrRulet550]

That is way too risky of a move cuz it'll either make good enemy boring or would anger the playerbase

[@Jorasaurus]

@MrRulet550 I don't see it angering them. Even if it's like the simplest MO just having the players be involved like that just simply sounds fun

[@brotein7157]

Hasn’t this kinda already happened with the whole jet brigade MO saga…

[@Jorasaurus]

@brotein7157 kind of but I'm talking about like enemy tweaks and helldiver tweaks. Like if something from the illuminate is way too overpowered and too much of a nuisance they could make it a MO To make them like have less stats or something to make them balanced.

[@Mr_Vakarian]

​@@Jorasaurusmaybe in the future. I'd say balancing is great right now

[@coolepic519]

I love games like this, that just by watching someone play it, it makes you want to get up from what youre doing and go play it, its just awesome.

[@Ech_The_Sentiant]

The illuminate is fucking amazing! It requires a level of teamwork to be efficient in combing through the urban environments and taking out elites that no other faction does. It feels like being an Xcom soldier and I love it! I just wish cars were more common tho :(

[@weldonwin]

90% Chance to Hit *(Misses)* That's XCOM...

[@Ech_The_Sentiant]

@ the worst part is it’s actually a little over what the game tells you

[@Chiefofbricks]

They are the easiest for now simply cause it was a scouting party. You know these guys are gonna be nuts a month from now

[@captaincritter6173]

⁠​⁠@@Jorasaurus yes to illuminate part, lastly, it’s over. I think there is something else but right now you can’t even play or fight illuminate on Calpso, for now there has been leaks that they might continue, like I said, look up both. I think there was something that leaked from PlayStation that was covered in one of the news KZbin channels (today).

[@larrellhill1386]

No point in hating this game bc it will always find a way to bring you back 😂 it’s a small company. I’m sure they never intended for the game to get this popular & feel the need to rush content bc part 1 flew under the radar. With that you see the potential they have with just taking their time and make the game they envision. Just ppl were so hype with 2 then social media blows it up they couldn’t keep pace with how they wanted to make their game feeling handcuff. I trust they know what they’re doing. Long as were patient great content will keep coming. Great to have surprises like this

[@Puppy_Puppington]

Who you talking to Willis??

[@dalebandalan9312]

Don't hate the devs hate Sony for the B's they pulled

[@weldonwin]

I've adopted a whole new loadout in the game since this update. Taking the Urban Scout armour set, for the new passive that grants extra ammo and faster reloads, pairing it up with the Ballistic Shield, Knight SMG and the new Stun Baton melee secondary, with the last two slots for Eagles or sentries based on the mission. I call it the *"STOP RESISTING!"* loadout

[@ack7]

*”pick up that can.”*

[@TheGamingCowboy2553]

I know they are still in the early stage, but honestly, the Squids are the most fun I've had in HD2 in a while! Also, the fact that we are currently losing to a RECON FORCE is funny/terrifying.

[@weldonwin]

Losing? We retook Calypso

[@TheGamingCowboy2553]

@weldonwin We were losing Genesis Prime and Mog last night, but i just saw that we reppelled them there as well. FREEDOM STANDS STRONG!!!

[@kellenboyle86]

I’d love it if there was a team up situation. Or if the other factions were also at war. You could drop onto a planet with bugs and bots fighting eachother, controlling different points, etc. I also love the idea of a rebel faction of super earth splitting off and then we have to fight other helldivers with all their kit.

[@arsonexc]

So it WAS Commissar Kai! I knew I recognized that voice!

[@Shin1_42]

9:10 is that WhiteLight?

[@Viewingaccount123]

Those brute commanders man. I can just imagine helping out lower levels from behind flying in to the rescue with the jet pack and stun lance, finishing it off with a spartan 300 kick. Then a hug

[@chaos_lis]

I’ve defeated multiple harvester in a beam struggle.

[@alexmcphee6789]

Kamehameha!!!!

[@BeastOrGod]

Harvester.... is just the charger/hulk of the squids. Imagine the Titan/Factory Strider of the Squids.

[@Mrcryptidsarereal]

In the first game, the Illuminate had a heavier version of the Tripod called a Strider so it's likely we'll get something taller and scarier.

[@elcazador3349]

I want that supply pod liberator as a weapon in the future.

[@4dragonzzz]

I love Kai man. He’s so funny and always keeps helldivers fun. Great video!

[@Isosyth]

:12 Sweet Liberty, the squids have even turned affordable pre-owned cars against us! The horror!

[@icemann42086]

I haven't played in over 6 months, but I'm "diving" in after watching this vid. 👍

[@DeagleGamesTV]

Dont bother the illuminate are already gone.

[@kenethernandez6246]

We beat their initial invasion but they'll be back in a day or 2. If you wanted to play just for the illuminate give it a day before you log in.

[@thetincanman2363]

They just came back on Genesis so if you've been itching to fight em, GET TO DIVIN SOILDER

[@Fingnonner]

Breaking news... The illuminate somehow...are back. Again

[@spikmaster18]

Man its good to fight the Covenant.....err I mean the Illuminate

[@weldonwin]

Wellsian Martians

[@asherkennedy1276]

Somehow the illuminate have returned??? ROS reference

[@CreeperJaYY]

I couldn’t agree more, the Illuminate are a ton of fun to fight and the new cityscape environment is way cool. It makes sense lore wise and the cars, destructible buildings and alleyways give you a lot of different ways to play and engage the enemy. I feel even more like an ODST than I already did before lol. Reminds me of dropping into the streets of Mombasa and fighting the Covenant. Although, the Voteless do have a bit of a Flood-like silhouette (let’s hope they don’t figure out how to use weapons). Such a great update, hope Arrowhead keeps up the good work and fixes the bugs/connection issues sooner than later!

[@SirKitKatLive]

update so good that we, in 4 days, absolutely annihilated them (for now)

[@postbubevaloran1170]

I would also love an only voteless mode in the city like dawn of the dead style

[@Tyro_]

By far my favourite faction as of now. Maybe it’s just cuz there new, but I love the idea of a zombie horde dotted with elite alien units. Been a heckofalotta fun getting back :)

[@TheDumbSauceGuy]

Had to farm some credits first, but now im back liberating squids.

[@champagneson9]

Hell yeah a new Renn’s video! I love and enjoy your content man. The work and love you put into your videos works man!

[@SimonFrancis-gd1qx]

Oh my god I’ve just realised I should have been giving directions when I was being driven around. Definitely would have helped!

[@MistaBaze]

Kinda wish I could’ve participated, but I’ll just keep a better eye out then reinstall when the illuminate return.

[@dylansmith6078]

There is so much more to put in the game like hivelords that I have been hearing about, some new bots, have the vehicle become a stratagem. Etc. Warbonds now have access to an array of melee weapons and sheilds. Some better armor passives such as %chance to deflect bullets, boost primary/support/sidearm damage, less damage from sentry, additional sentry, etc.

[@Web_2567]

I thought they were going to be harder than the bots but they’re so well balanced with the ruthlessness of the bots’ long range attacks, powerful but breakable shields, the swarm tactics of the bugs, the ability to stop all their deployments due to them coming from shootable ships, as well as a lot of structures with fun mechanics like how they don’t completely restrict your stratagems but instead make it harder for you to use them.

[@RennsReviews]

I'm gonna remember this!

[@jwmdlm07]

Just become a Helldivers KZbinr for now this is awesome

[@Prockski]

If the civilians are all walking to a wall like that then it usually means there is something blocking the path. For me usually it means I have to destroy a few cars nearby.

[@xaviarnl]

First on my wishlist is for their servers/network to become more stable. Because on esp. Illumincati missions it keeps dropping out, quite often when you're far into a mission. Which sucks as you then get nothing: no xp, no medals, no freedom - no sirreee! Having said that: I have been able to take out a harvester 3 times when dropping in from reinforcement, and that was awesome 🙂

[@HorseJoint]

I predicted this video would come SOON and here it is

[@BeardGrizzly]

Here I am, waiting for their next excursion. Bring it on, man.

[@echo5827]

I'm pretty against the new warbond. Basically the melee weapon is cool, and the anti tank turret is good, but that's really it. No new weapons. And locking more strategems behind a paywall, which is one big thing the game always needs more of

[@ack7]

This update is phenomenal, with my favourite part easily being lasering zombies ‘til nothin’ but DEMOCRACY REMAINS!

[@jwmdlm07]

AND THEYRE BAAAAAAACK

[@metadude1234]

My opinions on the factions Bots: Stressful Bugs: Annoying Illuminate: Easy, but that will change. Feels good.

[@cholze9146]

This is just their patrol unit, imagine the full force 1. The Illutionist(If I'm correct) who can mess up your key bindings 2. The Necromancer who can summoned the faster, stronger version of voteless "The Ghoul". 3. The Sorceror who mainly use lightning as their weapons 4. Weaponized Watcher Drone variant. Arrowhead is cooking now. ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

[@SILKYSMOOTH30FPS]

The biggest issue with this game for me is the progression system. They needed something similar to what Space Marine 2 has, and for it to work, your character needs to look like its not made for the 360 with low polys armors and such. As is, after 148h into the game, logging in to do what i already did, but this time around against a new faction is not gonna be too entertaining.

[@ramigilneas9274]

I only play when a new warbond gets released… and that’s fine. If they introduced an actual progression system then of course I would play a lot more.😅
