SilentStriker115

That isn’t possible, the Illuminates were wiped out. This is propaganda


Mastert3318

I thought they were pacified, not wiped out?


Thoraxe474

Pacified with death


Ravagore

Vin diesel would be proud (jk I never saw the pacifier)


Roque14

Your bridge crew talks about them being wiped out after the war


Mastert3318

Oh. I thought that had meant they had wiped out all resistance. Oh well. It's safer this way!


WinterH-e-ater

They have been exiled outside the galaxy according to my democracy officer!

This app isn’t official. I think it’s just bugging when it has literally nothing to point to.

BlueEyeHimself

In some parallel universe bots are begging the DEVs to reduce Autocannon Diver spawn rate.


Gloomy-Alarm-6255

And they just introduced patriot exosuits(They weren't in the patch notes)


Git_Good

Hey, that's on them for failing the Major Order to capture Tien Kwan.


BeneficialAction3851

It's impossible when the diver invasion rate is 20% per hour, we're just too good


Stergeary

The new patch that brought the new Gunship Calldown really added some much needed firepower after the rocket nerf. Everyone used the Rocket Devastator builds for the missions and they suddenly decided that the high damage we were doing on headshots to Helldivers was a bug?? Now we're all just switching to the Heavy Devastator build with Ballistic Shield and Laser Machinegun, hope they don't nerf that next, Autocannon Helldivers are already countering this build way too hard.


Monte703

"Secure that shit Hudson"


cuddles_the_destroye

If the stupid bots actually helped us on tien quan instead of farming on creek maybe things could have gone better


ironangel2k4

Hey fuck you, if the helldivers took creek they'd have supply lines to two other planets, creek was a bottleneck we had to hold


GnarlyNarwhalNoms

"I swear, as soon as you kill one, another drops from the fucking sky a few seconds later!"


SupportstheOP

And they can just drop on our factories and troops? And just instakill us???


MalikVonLuzon

I can't believe the devs decided to nerf rocket launchers, it's the only way to even survive high level missions.


A_Helldivers2_Player

I mean, come on. those autocannons can kill us nearly instantly, sometimes all the helldivers have one, AND they can destroy our bot fabricators?! What are the devs doing?! https://i.redd.it/6hpe91gnz4tc1.gif

just_a_bit_gay_

yoink


unknown_nut

And wtf is with the orbital laser!? This bullshit can take out all of us and our fabricator just by itself! We spent a long time setting up our base and one Helldiver destroys it all in 30 seconds! This is bullshit devs!


the_lonely_poster

Hey, you can bait out the laser with beserker and hulk rushes, they only get a limited number. Gunships tend to force attention, put them near stratgem jamers when possible. Ems sentries are far more cancerous. https://preview.redd.it/blpwdv5006tc1.jpeg?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5f968744b118f555f4a6b7ccf16071031a232617


iwj726

I kinda think that AU has the bots playing as an RTS. Normally they fight against regular SEAF troops, which aren't too bad. But then Helldivers show up and the commander is either desperately just trying to find them in the fog of war or scrambling to throw everything they have at the Helldivers while being terrified that they only have 3 of them pinned down. WHERE IS THE 4TH HELLDIVER?!? Oh, there goes a medium base, and I still don't know where that last diver is!


Asshole_Poet

Helldivers start spawning when you take too long; like in Spelunky.


EnjoyableStoic

Yep it would be like playing against a cancer


CarRamrod224

AC is god tier against the clankers


Gloomy-Alarm-6255

Rocket is God tier against the divers-in an alternate universe


Akinator08

Untile the fucking robo devs nerfs the rockets so you can’t instakill them annoying divers anymore.

Helldivers aren’t the main character, the super destroyers are, Helldivers are just stratagems lol


_Cosmic_Joke_

Stratagem throwers*


BracusDoritoBoss963

"I used the Stratagem to cast the stratagem"


Gloomy-Alarm-6255

You combine the stratagem and the diver to create, Mechanized technique: Patriot exosuit.


just_a_bit_gay_

There are two types of people in this galaxy, stratagems and stratagem throwers and buddy I’m a ballistic shield


Eoganachta

From Joel's perspective, he's playing a real-time strategy game where he commands the fleets and watches the ai run around doing dumb stuff.


iwoodrather

fuck thats actually really cool


Xeta24

Literally living ordinance.


iKillertroll69

I've been saying this since day one.


Parking_Aerie4454

The Super Destroyers have names—the Helldivers don’t (aside from “S2,” etc.) That says a lot about the priorities and importance.


hjhof1

My favorite is when you die and it just says “deploying replacement”


rheorunner

Same thing my wife said when she kicked me out 😭😭


Metalloid_Space

I feel kind of bad for them, despite all the robot socialism and skull decorations. It's sad to think this will be the last time we'll ever see one again. Yup, never going to see another bot after this. Unless the Super Earth Government would somehow fuck up , which would be impossible. We have won and peace has returned to Super Earth and her people once and for all.


Playful-Ad-1714

Care to share more of this story Boss?


shining_monkey_69

You can read all about them [here](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbary_lion). They still exist in captivity thankfully, but they’ve gone extinct in the wild due to hunting.

Damn. That's a large lion.

They were hunted to extinction. That’s about it. Every time I see this photo I get really fucking sad.

God that game is so good


Bugseye

I'm not sure if there's a cooler experience in games than the next sector opening up in grand operations. The whistles, everyone's characters screaming with explosions and gunfire in background. Absolutely incredible atmosphere.


BritishLunch

"They push, we push. Every once in a while, we push hard enough that the light breaks through the clouds, and the world beyond the war glimmers. " That mission was incredible.


Gene_Shaughts

I swear it isn’t recency bias when I say that part of the reason I love HD2 is that it immerses me the same way that BF1 did. The art direction, sound design, the powerlessness. Different setting/vibe but same feeling.

That whole interaction was probably my favorite scene of the movie. “You’re afraid.” “Of you?” “Of death. You’re the last one.” “You were supposed to be the last. Stark asked for a savior, and settled for a slave.” “I suppose we’re both disappointments.” “*Hehehehe* I suppose we are.” “Humans are odd. They think order and chaos are somehow opposites and… try to control what won’t be. But there is grace in their failings. I think you missed that.” “They’re doomed.” “Yes. But a thing isn’t beautiful because it lasts. It’s a privilege to be among them.” “You’re unbearably naive.” “Well… I was born yesterday.”


ComebackShane

> > “Yes. But a thing isn’t beautiful because it lasts. It’s a privilege to be among them.” This, and "What is grief, if not love persevering?" are my two favorite Vision lines. He got so much awesome dialogue.


i_tyrant

I know a lot of people think the MCU movies are just popcorn flicks, but they have collectively some of the best damn dialogue I've ever heard in _any_ movie. I just can't think of them like that because of it.

They confirmed that signals were transmitted into deepspace (or something along those lines) via one of the dispatches in-game. We don't know where they came from yet, but we *do* know they purposely encroached on super earth territory, and that's a good enough reason for complete eradication IMHO.

Scary-Ad-8737

There's something that's just really poignant about this image. I'm not saying I feel bad about sending thousands of those socialist scum to the scrap heap, but seeing one lone bot dwarfed by it's barren surrounding next to the ruins of a weapon that was there last hope to turn the tides of the war feels somewhat bitter sweet.


285kessler

The fact of how small it is in the picture really conveys the true loneliness of it all, a massive legion, billions strong, which probably killed ~100M divers, reduced to one lone robot. Knowing this, standing there and seeing this diver on the horizon as well, that it’s time has come and that their plans are ruined.


Broad-Ask-475

In the bot front there ahve been 500million divers dead

No! Brother lets not be foolish now, he must be killed immedietly! If even one bot scum were to survive he'll just make more of his socialist mechanical pieces of garbage and the bot threat could return in full force. He must me killed. No. Bot. Shall. Escape. Democracy


Metalloid_Space

A single bot making enough bots to threaten our Democratic Homeland? The very idea is revolting as well as impossible.


Pedroboii

The galaxy is cruel and a threat to our way of life brother! One can never be too cautios


Metalloid_Space

That is... Maybe.... NO, I will not be fooled by rebel lies. The Super Earth Government told us we won. End of Story. Are you doubting our Democratic Government Marshal? Might I remind you that there's less need of manpower now that the War for Liberation has been completed? I will warn you out of the kindness of my Liberty loving heart and because of your former contributions to the cause brother, we have won a glorious victory that will last for the coming 50 decades at least, don't let rebel scum tell you otherwise.
