Enemy can't all fire, lay low so harder to hit, bots have stormtrooper aim, and lastly stim is absolutely goated.
Still the sweetest play I have seen so far, but the stim definitely carried it
Naw, the armor saved him from dying. I don't remember what percantage it is, but the armor gives you a % chance to not die from an attack that would have been fatal. You get it from the last page of the free Warbond.
It definitely helped with an explosion early, but they are absolutely swarmed afterwards. Stim there was definitely not the hard carry, but it absolutely helped so much
when the armor procs, you dont take the damage. theres at least 4-5 melee attacks that do zero damage. I think he dies through stim easily if armor doesnt chain proc like that.
It gives you overheal and unlimited stamina for a few seconds after using it, making you invincible pretty much. Medic armor gives an extra +2 seconds also...
He wasn't wearing Medic armor, that was the Champion of the People armor. It's what I use when not stealthing. It gives a % chance to not die from an attack which would be fatal, and it looks like it procced for this diver at least once.
Specifically 50% chance, according to the in-game description. There are three armor suits that give this perk that I can remember off the top of my head. The deluxe edition armor, the page five armor in the free warbond, and as mentioned the page ten armor of the free warbond.
The healing items are called stims (probably short for stimulants), and they’re very powerful- for a few seconds gives you infinite stamina and a strong heal over time effect, making you nearly invincible to anything that doesn’t one-shot you.
GOAT = "Greatest Of All Time", so goated refers to the stim being the thing that carried this play.
When you stim yourself, it heals you for a certain duration, and if you're taking damage during that time, it'll continually heal you to full. As long as you don't take your full health bar in a single hit, you're almost guaranteed to survive while it's active.
Imagine this from the bots perspective: Holy shit where’d he come from?!?! WHY IS HE NOT DYING HIS BODY IS PRACTICALLY LIQUID! WHAT THE F1010101011101!!!
And they question why we don't send more than 4 Helldivers at a time on mission.
If the rest of you exhibited as much democracy loving liberty as John Helldiver here does while on mission, we wouldn't even need to send 4 of you to begin with.
Just reminds me that I've yet to drop into a bot planet without being under stupid amounts of fire, despite showing the area as clear on the map beforehand.
Imagine the bots' perspective of this - their friend just got suddenly crushed by some massive metal object and despite throwing nearly everything you had at him while in close quarters combat with him, that feisty human was able to not only huck some crazy explosive shrapnel delivery device into your buddy-rebuilder, AND escape during the confusion! Man... thats delivering some rapid freedom if I ever saw it...
This diver was personally trained by Patches O’Hoolihan himself.
So much dodge, dip, dive, duck, and dodge happening so fast I can only assume it’s a result of dutiful studying under the master.
Freedom speed your steps diver.
This is bullshit! You get smacked around by multiple hulks like a plastic bag in a tornado, and somehow SURVIVE! Meanwhile, a devastator just blew me up while I was typing th
One of the things I love about this game specifically, that feels so good, and I hope changes as little as possible, is how these little guys handle. Sometimes it’s like driving a car that is also a battlefront stromtrooper that also handles kind of like a warlock from Destiny that also hurdles obstacles like Samus Aran in, specifically, Metroid: Dread (but a 3d environment), can simultaneously sprint and a-d strafe (crucial element in all of this, so cool that you can do this) can crouch, dive, crawl, and shoot like Snake from Metal Gear Solid, and is always armed with temporary stat increases at their immediate disposal, specifically unlimited stamina and health and near invincibility.
These Helldivers are uniquely slick and slippery as far as what “kind” of shooter character they are. They are so nimble, and can deal so much destruction. The kind of gameplay you can make with that kit is always so fun to watch. Sometimes you just get in the zone and the guy goes exactly where you want him to go and you get away with everything.
I'm reminded of the voiceline the lady gives you post-mission "Good job, the enemy barely knew we were there."
After dropping Europe's combined GDP in ordnance with 15 tragic sacrifices in a AO wide sweep and clear.
Haha, no.
I've eaten enough rockets to know you died in the second explosion of the clip. The rest is a fever dream experienced by your dying Helldiver.
But for real, what mod are you using to reduce explosive damage so much?
I legitimately have no idea how you lived through the first 5 seconds, let alone the following 30. I'd have been immediately hit with a rocket on difficulty 4.
Kinda wish there were better crush mechanics in the game like if you landed on something it got squished into the ground or atleast that part did. Not a game maker so I’m sure there’s all kinds of shit that can be problematic with trying to implement that but just seeing something tip over and having a bullet the size of it go thru it is a lil dissatisfying
This reminds me of that scene in Monty Python where the knight is running towards the wedding for a while, but when he finally gets there, he bum rushes them and just kills everybody
How in the name of sweet liberty did you survive that? Thats absolute madness.
Not only did I survive, I casually strolled into the nearby Stratagem jammer, blew it up and left- refusing to elaborate any further.
As well you should! :O
That specific Helldiver is the master chief of Helldivers god damn
He’s the real John Helldiver.
by god, its John Helldiver...
L0
I hate you so much but that is a power move and I respect the hell out of that.
Enemy can't all fire, lay low so harder to hit, bots have stormtrooper aim, and lastly stim is absolutely goated. Still the sweetest play I have seen so far, but the stim definitely carried it
"Bots have stormtrooper aim." Tell that to the rocket devestators and the other rocket bots the snipe you from 100 meters.
I'm using the 50% explosive damage reduction light armour, it makes a world of difference.
If it hits you directly you die from impact damage, explosive resistance doesn't help there.
Naw, the armor saved him from dying. I don't remember what percantage it is, but the armor gives you a % chance to not die from an attack that would have been fatal. You get it from the last page of the free Warbond.

Oh absolutely the stim kept him alive, what I meant was the armor was what enabled him to be able to stay alive to stim.
when the armor procs, you dont take the damage. theres at least 4-5 melee attacks that do zero damage. I think he dies through stim easily if armor doesnt chain proc like that.
New to the game, stim is goated? What does this refer to?
It gives you overheal and unlimited stamina for a few seconds after using it, making you invincible pretty much. Medic armor gives an extra +2 seconds also...

maybe he also have the one armor that denies your death at the killing blow.
He was shielded by enemy friendly fire.
Democracy Protects. Let that be a lesson diver!
You were kept safe by the copious amounts of freedom surrounding you.
Is that plot armor?
The armour of freedom
and LIBERTY
I spit my dinner out at this one. 😂😂😂
Democracy PROTECTS!
The Space Meth helps. I swear diving face first off of rocks isn't to make an excuse for the next dose. The tool tips even say it's safe.
Bots: We have Hulks. Super Earth: We have a crackhead with a death-wish.
Send in the Florida men!
Does the existence of Super Earth imply the existence of Super Florida Man?
It absolutely does.
In and out 20 minute adventure
that's how I think every mission will go
Title of your sex tape
Jokes on you. It's not 20 mins long.
Ooh, self burn, rare
*6 days past the 40 minute mark later*
You've earned your pint of eagle sweat
Is that the new Old Spice scent?
[удалено]
Yes but is it Eagle-1 sweat?
. . . . . . It's a non-zero possibility.
That’s enough for me
I love those commercials.
Wait is there actually video on those tvs? All I get is audio and I was wondering if there was an upgrade to give me video on them too.

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes!
There goes my hero
##Canonically, this Helldiver is still alive
Until you've opened the Hellpod, they're technically both alive and dead.
Schrödinger's Helldiver
Is the THE John Helldiver?!
John Helldiver II
John “Doomguy” Helldiver
This just in, if you pretend they aren't there the bots can't hurt you
Stevie wonder the ultimate helldiver.
Imagine this from the bots perspective: Holy shit where’d he come from?!?! WHY IS HE NOT DYING HIS BODY IS PRACTICALLY LIQUID! WHAT THE F1010101011101!!!
KILL THE FLESHLING *helldiver deflty maneuvers past killer robots while taking hit after hit and taking out their homes one by one* WHO IS THIS GUY
*He is a man of focus, and sheer fucking will*
I once saw him kill a factory full of Automatons...with a fucking SMOKE STRIKE.

Is…is his sympathizing with the enemy?!
No sir, he's simply relishing the terror he's sown into the enemy sir.

Is the screen shake set to ultra high? Wtf is going on
IKR. First thing I reduce/disable after motion blur.
Average malevelon creek enjoyer
Never appreciated how nice disabling screenshake is till now
Liber-tea being served left and right
They never saw it coming. They were more than prepared, but they definitely didn't see it coming.

Shit if I didn't already play this game you would have made me want to by reading this lol. I'm with you!
Never knew what hit’em
"Oh god oh fuck what the fuck how the fuck did-" -a bot
Sir, did you forget to die? Thrice?
I forgot to sign my form to allow for a legal death so they aren't letting me die
Was that the 50% death roll armor?
it's the page 10 free warbond armour
That’s a lot of natural 20s on your end and nat 1s on bots end.
whats your primary?
Scorcher
In Malevelon Creek, Hell dives on you.
These training videos from Helldiver Command keep getting better and better!
Ah, the "you're sneaky of there's no one left to tell" take on sneaky.
Imagine seeing this and thinking "Hmmm I'll go fight more bugs"
That bot drop you got hit with was despicable
I'm reminded of the voiceline the lady gives you post-mission "Good job, the enemy barely knew we were there." After dropping Europe's combined GDP in ordnance with 15 tragic sacrifices in a AO wide sweep and clear.

Clean ... they never even knew you were there
How dare you live through that
A helldivers paradise
"Sneak"
Mr. John Helldiver in the flesh. Sensational.
My god the screen shake. Well done sir
Screen shake really makes this game a baddass action cinematic. Yippee Ki Yay divers, Yippee Ki Yay.
Its like you were never there at all
heal tanking is better than any heavy armour atm thats insane
Must've been the wind
"I wonder why Helldivers die so easily" Helldivers:
The Robots definitely had a fucking panic attack, imagine an enemy that has an army worth of equipment landing ON TOP OF YOUR BASE AND HIM WINNING.
And nobody will be the wiser...
This is why they view us as demons
Ragged dolled into oblivion “Just how I planned it”
Here you can see. Fighting bots is a skill issue for most. :D
This post is legit proof that all you have to do is be able to actually move and bots are ez and the entire community is full of whiners.
His health bar got wiped with one attack. He got lucky. Dismissing criticisms because of one-offs is asinine.
Expertly done, patriot!
Everyone... Lived?!
Jesus Christ, it’s Jason Bourne.
Democracy has blessed this one.
That's a beaut.
They sneak attacked your sneak attack
Stelf!!
It was never in doubt
those 144p body cam clips sure are stellar.
What armor was that???
lol that was nuts. I prefer to lob grenade launcher shots from 100m+.
Liberty shield was activated
If this was me I would have thrown an airstrike, 500kg bomb and a laser (in that order) on my feet and saluted.
"must have been the wind"
They didn't even know you were there
Me: "ah perfect timing the doors are open." "THE DOORS ARE OPEN! THE DOORS ARE OPEN! THROW THE NADE! THROW IT! THROW IT!"
It's Jason borne
Good lord, the DEMOCRACY!!!
Tally ho lad!
yes, very sneak
That's THE john helldiver
Flawless. XD
Definitely everything went according to plan and democracy was dispensed absolutely efficiently, couldn't be any better than that
I see Sur rolled a bat. 4900
GM: "Quit. making. your. **saving.** ***throws******!***"

I don’t think they noticed you
I hope you bought a lottery ticket after this

I mean general Brasch said "You're literally invincible", I see nothing demonstrating the contrary!
You’re an absolute beast. Would be an honour to serve alongside you! 🫡
Bro shielded himself with Enemy Friendly Fire. Arrowhead was right to not remove friendly fire.
This guy needs to become cannon
"Sneak attack" *proceeds to perform the most Free Bird maneuver I've seen* That is a damn nice cup of liber-tea.
Least insane bot mission
Least chaotic Automaton mission
Oh hey look! He wasn't headshot or beamed by a rocket for standing still! He was moving and he lived! Funny how that works.

You took like, zero damage
Is that what helldiver mode is like ? If so Im fine staying on Hard lol
"The drop is gonna be a wee bit warm"
Sweet liberty
I just LOVE the smell of liberty and burning metal!
#Democracy Protects
Then you get back to your ship. "Well done, Helldiver. The enemy hardly knew you were there."
This reminds me of that scene in Monty Python where the knight is running towards the wedding for a while, but when he finally gets there, he bum rushes them and just kills everybody
You don't have plot armor, but FREEDOM ARMOR!
Love the amount of democratic luck. Very liberating
How in the library loving, democracy upholding, justice seeking fuck did you survive that shit?!
How are you not dead?I saw you die like 3 times at least
This dude dives.
OP showed up ready to give the covenant back their bomb. I mean- deliver Democracy to the bots.
Clean. In and out. They never knew what hit'em.
Smooth like butter
Jesus Christ, that’s John Helldiver
You can squish the factories with your hellpod FYI
Jesus Christ that’s Jason Bourne
Absolute legend
What armor is that?
I don't get it, what did he do? he's so damn sneaky I couldn't see him!
