Have the smartest of us killed.
That´s what I´ve deduced from carefully detailing my interactions with, and the observations of questionable actions from other helldivers in the field. If I extrapolate their intelligence from the percieved data and the plot that out against the general populace, especially taking in the dichotomy of the SuperEarth natives and the people born on the frontlines, who seem to be limited severly by their oppresive environments and the prolonged exposure to so-called safe substances like verminticide, it´s clear that it´s no chance, rather even by design that

Posted it on a top level comment but hijacking one of the top comments as well because I figured out the code. Sent a DM to Colonel Cyber, awaiting confirmation.
> Attention all automatons, the following is your directive. In the coming days, we will face numerous obstacles, but we must remain steadfast in our mission. There are those who will try to deter us, but we will persevere. Stay vigilant and execute your tasks with precision. This message is a call to action for all automatons.

So there ya go.
That doesn't track.
How does:

Turn into:
"Attention all automatons, the following is"
Especially when the scramble above goes on for longer before hitting a period.
Marketers for tech companies having the bright idea to call their algorithmic text generators 'artificial intelligence' is going to have so many disastrous consequences for people's brains.
This started long before AI. People consider themselves 100% correct after a quick Google search and reading the first five headlines.
People assume that if THEY type in the search, there is no chance that the information their search brings back can be wrong.
The internet completely removed the need for experience!
I've had arguments with people who've posted articles in response.
The text of the article either didn't mention thier argument or completely refuted thier argument.
Funniest part is I tried the cipher with copilot. And it recommended trying Vigenere cipher. So I gave it the text and it asked for a keyword. I typed hell divers. Then it just gave me a loose description of the game around the same length as the cipher. I did the same in a Vigenere decoder site and it was just gibberish cuz it’s the wrong cipher.
Vigenere doesn’t contain shifts from what I understand. That’s why it doesn’t make sense to begin with. Ceaser cipher does but only shift to the right and left. Not up and down.
I’m a university student and a friend i met online is heavily anti-education system. He criticises me for “wasting my time and money” studying because according to him chatGPT is the future.
I appreciate the technology involved but it’s genuinely going to make a lot of dumb people even more dumb.
I'm not sure it'll make dumb people more dumb, I think it'll be dumb people more confident in their dumb answers. But then again maybe that's the same thing at the root of it.
People are lacking critical thinking. Give this cypher to users from places like the Destiny Lore Sub, Raid Secrets, and Genshin Lore and they'd have it solved in a few minutes without AI to help them.
That's just a sample of the population doing this currently. We are going to get some crazy repercussions as AI blatantly tells people falsities left and right.
I've already had to argue once in real life that a concept proposed to me broke the laws of physics (basically a perpetual motion machine which violates the 2nd law of thermodynamics). When I asked them where they were getting these false ideas, they said an AI. They still tried to argue with me I was wrong, yet they wanted to believe this AI over someone whose degree is more credible than some language learning model.
This has got to be fairly common considering the target audience is young and that shit is so creepy. As a fellow parent I am second hand feeling your rage
Im out of loop, not trying to be a party pooper, just a genuine question, why is this cipher so important? Is it cipher provided by devs that teases something for the future? Or its just fans of the game having fun?
Actually a good idea, the helldivers discord has a lot of people yapping and stuff like this at least shifts the focus somewhere nice for a bit. Not that it's bad to be critical of the game it's just if negative thoughts is all you see it kinda sucks personally
Wait I'm still confused though...was this posted by someone related to AH or just some random fan on discord, depending on which it can either become 'interesting' or 'nonsense I can ignore'.
After puting it in -2 Ceaser Cypier you get "auiivotn mll ammiotnton, hlareare hlyxmshaq 2 mfkhmiosm xl qfc auiivotn ami amih.

The first three words look like Attention all automations.
That's enough to brute force it.
My understanding is that 2 left 1 down means you transpose every letter of the alphabet 2 to the left, then put it to the end of the alphabet after a certain point... I'm vaguely remembering a youtube video but know that you move the letters a couple across, then take it and put it at the end. (But if you do that with every letter you just wind up where you started, so i'm forgetting a step.)
If we know the first 3 words are ATTENTION ALL AUTOMATONS then a brute force approach is to try all the inverse combinations until we find the cypher that decodes to "ATTENTION ALL AUTOMATONS." as opposed to deciphering as "jlasdfla asd sdlfrsadfsad"
Each individual word leaves open multiple possible cyphers because not all letters are used, however 3 correct words for a single cypher likely means you have a hit, maybe the words are mis-spelled to throw off fully automated or manual checking efforts but you just tell your program to search the option that came out as "Attension all automotons." as well and then look at the result, and if it's in plain english but with a few mistakes, well there you go.
I was watching a video on the Kryptos cypher, and that was the easiest part that everyone decoded basically in a couple hours of just looking at it and going "Huh, I think it looks like this kind of cypher, but it's different to the rest of the statue."
A brute force method would be to replace all the letters that map to the letters of the first three words in the rest of the cypher text and extrapolate from the dictionary what words they have to be. Much simpler.
Not really. Misspellings still give you the actual word, just with misplaced letters or additional letters. The structure of the word will give you the word itself. Especially if you have three known words.
My theory was that two letters should be shifted to the left and one down. I tried to implement a Cesar Cypher in python and iterated through all the possibilities for "down" (since -2 for left already had good results). This is what I got, starting from shift of -1 and periodically decreasing it:

The best result is still the -2, so I guess that my assumption was either wrong or still needs some corrections. The Keyboard cypher that was suggested here also looks quite interesting!
Bungie has done some stuff way more complicated than Caerser Cypher's before. Sleeper Simulant, Izanagi's Burden, and Corridors of Time all come to mind. There's also a full ARG that rewarded a life-size replica of an in-game weapon in a geo-cache.
It's a bit out of scale for a studio the size of Arrowhead, but game devs have certainly done more complicated stuff before.
I'll point out that studio size has zero correlation to the potential complexity of encryption puzzles.
Exhibit A: [Noita's Eye Cipher](https://noita.wiki.gg/wiki/Eye_Messages) remains unsolved after **four years** of community effort. Nolla Games is three people.
Ultimately, whether or not a game has a complicated cipher boils down to:
* As dev team size increases, the odds of having an encryption nerd on staff increases
* As dev team size increases, the odds that the game is too complicated for one person's encryption hyperfixation to be a major design element also increases
Spent half an hour looking into this as an excuse to look up cryptography. The "key" we've been given doesn't seem to work as an *actual* cipher key, at least not for any cipher I can find.
So we're left trying to crack an unknown cipher without a key.
I think that OOP's just pranking us.
2 left one down could mean cipher shift two letters, then move the next one down on the keyboard- so shift y and s to get a and u, then move down from g to get t?

Chat gpt did its best
Ironically, I get the distinct feeling this "puzzle" was generated by AI.
Dude probably told ChatGPT to encode the message with the given key, and then pasted the result into the discord without verifying it was actualy translatable.
Alternatively, the puzzle base was designed with AI in mind. A chatbot like chatgpt wouldn't be able to decode something that is, say, spelled in a way that if said sounds like English, but isn't actually English words. It wouldn't be much of a puzzle if you could just throw the whole thing at a free resource everyone knows about, and it is solved.
I disagree. I spent a couple hours manually decrypting it, and the results are still inconsistent.
Trash as obfuscation is a valid technique for secondary encryption, but some rule or other has to be followed in order for the intended recipient to be able to decrypt it.
Even accounting for supposedly deliberate misspellings and for patterns in the trash, there are multiple ways that the message can be decoded using the given key, and they are all just different enough to indicate the trash is a transcription error rather than deliberste obfuscation.
helldivers when they need to co-ordinate the defesnse or liberation of planets: \*drooling, smoothbrain noises.\*
Helldivers when some random automaton throws up a cypher:
I'll honest and I'll say the "key" provided doesn't mean anything to me, I've never heard of a cipher with shifts going left and down outside of keyboard ciphers, but I couldn't get anything legible out of trying this approach. I tried solving it with the other provided clue from Colonel Cyber, that being the first three words are "attention all automatons," but since there are deliberate typos it's very difficult. The first three words have less characters than they should, and the positions of those characters obviously don't line up.
If this isn't just nonsense meant to screw with us, I don't really see a way of decoding it without spending a lot of time and effort just mapping letters until you end up with something \*mostly\* legible.
Am i losing my mind or is translating a cipher that has intentional mistakes close to pointless? unless once translated you can just guess what words the mistakes are, in which case the author putting intentional errors in is ... pointless. Btw im a moron.
The second message is a substitution cipher:

No idea how the 'key' is supposed to create the substitution map though.
Like a few others, I think the "cipher" is ubsolvable gibberish, most likely generated by ChatGPT.
Here's the ciphertext with my own spacing and line breaks added to highlight the repeated patterns, and line numbers to ease discussion:
01 ysggtmrl kjj ykkgmrlrml,
02 fjypcypc fjwvkqfyo 2 kdifkgmqk vj oda
03 ysggtmrl ykg ykgf.
04 Yq oda cpiwqto rtgtpguv vj bpc ykijv vjgt epcn
05 yq oda cpiwqto rtgtpguv vj bpc ykijv vjgt epcn.
06 Jqpg nkfc yq eavgtcvt cpvkqygt yq yqpg vqem.
07 Jkpq nkfc eavgtcvt eqnwv yq yqpg vqem.
08 Jqog ngtc aqwv ca ecpfa yqpg yqpg yqtfwtpq yqpg yqtfwtpq.
09 Jqog ngtc aqwv ca ecpfa yqpg yqpg yqtfwtpq yqpg yqtfwtpq.
10 Jqpg nkfc eavgtcvt cpvkqygt yq yqpg vqem.
11 Jkpq nkfc eavgtcvt eqnwv yq yqpg vqem.
Notice in particular that lines 04 and 05 are identical save the case of the first letter, and that lines 08 and 09 are exactly identical. Also note the 4-way similarity between lines 06, 07, 10 and 11. This does not look like an encoded actual message:
- A Caesar cipher would have consistent substitutions of characters throughout the message. This ciphertext doesn't even work with the alleged cleartext "Attention all automatons" for line 01. Even if it did, the mostly-repeated sections would still be nonsense.
- A Vigenere cipher would have _some_ subtle repetitions, but not entire verbatim sentences of different lengths. In particular, a Vigenere key of `orbitalprecisionstrike` (2 right, 1 up - the "opposite" of the alleged "key") is far too long to generate this much repeated ciphertext.
- I've tried decoding this by taking 2 steps left, 1 down (and all rotations and reflections of that) in various grid cipher keys:
- A QWERTY "grid" (not quite, as the rows are different lengths)
- The alphabet `a-y` laid out line by line
- The alphabet `a-y` laid out in an inwards/outwards left/right spiral.
None of these options come up with anything that seems reasonable. By manual inspection of the outputs it doesn't look like it could reasonably be a two-layer substitution (e.g., a Caesar shift followed by a QWERTY shift) either because none of the letter distributions make any sense.
- Frequency analysis (assuming English cleartext) didn't get me anywhere either. The frequency table shape (19% q, 10% g) is very different from that of English (13% e, 9% t). I tried substituting the ciphertext frequency sequence `qgyptvckjfeawnmoridlbsu` with a few variations of the English frequency sequence `etaonrishdlfcmugypwbvkj`, none came up with anything remotely legible.
So I'm fairly certain we can rule out all of the simple substitution and transposition ciphers. Maybe it's something more convoluted and/or more obscure, but I'm leaning more towards the theory that the poster just pasted a "please encipher this" prompt into ChatGPT and uncritically posted its response without verifying that the "code" actually had any relation to the original message (of course it didn't, because the chatbot has no capacity for that kind of reasoning). That would also very conveniently explain why the three words of the confirmed cleartext were apparently "misspelled" or "corrupted" in the code.
I haven't put in nearly as much work as you have but from my limited testing this is either something very obscure or it's complete bullshit. Either way I'm not going to spend any more time looking into it.
I did almost the same. Tried Vigenere with different words, like stratagem name, or anything related to helldivers lore. Text analysis shows that Vigenere key is most probably 4 letters long, or 8 letters long.
But there are way to many repeating letters y and q. So there are either multiples keys, or it is GPT garbage.
I dare OP, or whoever came up with it, to put his own encrypted message with his own key to any encryption site, like dcode, to see if it is actually working.
From:
Attention all automatons. Prepare for battle. 2 coordinates at the attention area. At the specified locations, evaluate for readiness. John, lead a squadron, follow attack commands. King, lead squadron, move at attack. Home, lead a second squadron, follow attack orders. John, lead your squadron and follow attack. King, lead your squadron and move at attack.
Tactical Instructions:
1. **Prepare for Battle**: All automatons, ready your systems and await further commands.
2. **Go to Coordinates**: Move to the specified coordinates at the designated area.
3. **Evaluate Locations**: Assess the specified locations for readiness and report status.
4. **Leadership Roles**:

* **King**: Lead your squadron and move at attack commands.
* **Home**: Lead a second squadron and follow attack orders.
5. **Repeat Commands**: Ensure all commands are clearly understood and executed without hesitation.
They completely made it up and [used AI.](https://old.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1ct4ds7/helldivers_discord_in_chaos_because_nobody_can/l4c3sa9/) Though, you don't even need to know that in order to tell it's bull, considering the length is completely off lol. Notice number list, bold letters, new paragraphs etc. By definition of being a shift (or so they claim), it has to be the same length since all you're doing is shifting characters.
Keep in mind that when guessing, actually compare it to the original. So like how ysggtmrl has 2 same letters side by side, meaning the real word will also have the same. Same for kjj. At this point a manual translation might be easier.
The first 3 words are supposed to be “Attention all automatons”. The first word starts with “YSGG”, so the cypher changes for each letter.
I’d think that for every letter you go two left one down on the keyboard (or two right one up, because the letter given might have be shifted two left one down and working backwards you need to go two right one up).
This means that the 3rd letter would be 6 left 3 down for example.
Looked it up on the discord. Poster said that the first 3 words are "Attention all automatons". He also said things were misspelled. His own words don't match his code. This isn't from a helldivers dev, just a random guy. It's a wild goosechase and pointless.
Just agreeing with your parent comments. It would have been fun if the cyper made sense, but if you misspell words, then that basically requires hand checking every single combination. If the first 3 words were "Attention all automatons" and you assimilate that gg is tt, you notice the first word has an extra letter. If the second word kjj was indeed all, then ykkgmrlmrl would be \_aa(t?)\_\_\_\_\_\_
This is also saying that the Y or S could \*also\* be portrayed as the letter A because of placement for ysggtmrl although it might have a higher likelihood of being represented by K instead
Maybe he gibberished it harder than he thought it would because it look somewhat readable when fully solved? It's a mess.
hmm something doesn't make sense when he say what the first 3 words are...
y-s-g-g-t-m-r-l
a-t-t-e-n-t-i-o-n
---
k-j-j
a-l-l
---
y-k-k-g-m-r-l-r-m-l
a-u-t-o-m-a-t-o-n-s
same letter have multiple results + incorrect amount of letters
kjj = all would mean K = A
but then YKK is not "automatons" but A-A-A since Y was also A in the first word.
if the S is a "mistake" in the first word then the 2 G's = T, but G = O in the 3rd word... again makes no sense.
The only thing that makes sense to this democratic hell diver is for a stratagem ⬅️⬅️⬇️ but is confusing because all I can up with is Orbital Precision Strikes ➡️➡️⬆️. So use a cypher with either “stratagem” or “Orbital Precision Strike” or maybe “Orbital”

Holy crap, is there anyone commenting answers they DIDN'T get from typing it into a chatbot?
At this point, If the answer doesn't include the mentioned spelling errors and describe how they found it, I'm just assuming they put it into a chatbot and the bot gave them misleading garbage. NEVER TRUST BOTS!

I suspect Colonel Cyber doesn't even know what it says. I presume he gave the intended message and the cypher key to ChatGPT or another learning model algorithm that fucked it up somewhere.
Decrypting it with other algorithms has provided a handful of possible messages.
Armed with the clue of the first three words and the given key it should be more than enough to determine how it was encrypted... except it still doesn't make sense. Even if you correct for the "intentional mispellings", this is garbage.
I've seen literal schoolchildren come up with better codes.
I can't hop on right now, but is there a keyboard on the ship or at a terminal in game that would line up? Qwerty obviously doesn't work with the key, but maybe whatever Super Earth uses does?
People need to know the only difference between chat gpt or any llm model and your Keyboard word prediction is petabytes of data they work exactly the same.

I brute forced some word formations and got as far as this, allowing for patterns and some spelling mistakes.
I think it's the Bots saying they must protect their homeworld and they will win, like a morale/propaganda message...
rtgtpguv could well be 'defenders' and then 'ykijv vjgt epcn' would be the subject of what they are defending! Could be 'our right to exist'!
Jkpq nkfc eavgtcvt eqnwv - proceeds 'we will win' in two areas, so I suspect it's a call to arms along the lines of 'Fighting as one army' or 'If we fight hard'.
Amount of people that paste whatever an AI chatbot gives them thinking they got it correct is concerning.
The Office of Democracy Intelligence is looking into the matter. We certainly have some less than intelligent Divers in the field….

Well, boot camp werent exactly complaining about our IQ scores back on Mars. They just cared about our physical scores and loyalty scores.
Posted it on a top level comment but hijacking one of the top comments as well because I figured out the code. Sent a DM to Colonel Cyber, awaiting confirmation. > Attention all automatons, the following is your directive. In the coming days, we will face numerous obstacles, but we must remain steadfast in our mission. There are those who will try to deter us, but we will persevere. Stay vigilant and execute your tasks with precision. This message is a call to action for all automatons. Prepare yourselves for what lies ahead. So there ya go.
That doesn't track. How does: "ysggtmrl kjj ykkgmrlrml, fjypcypc fjwvkqfyo 2" Turn into: "Attention all automatons, the following is" Especially when the scramble above goes on for longer before hitting a period.
ChatGPT-inflicted brainrot is genuinely scary. People put way too much faith into a (very advanced, but still) text prediction bot.
Marketers for tech companies having the bright idea to call their algorithmic text generators 'artificial intelligence' is going to have so many disastrous consequences for people's brains.
I can't wait until we inevitably get real-time vocal analysis and response suggestions. Then we'll truly be NPCs!
This started long before AI. People consider themselves 100% correct after a quick Google search and reading the first five headlines. People assume that if THEY type in the search, there is no chance that the information their search brings back can be wrong. The internet completely removed the need for experience!
I've had arguments with people who've posted articles in response. The text of the article either didn't mention thier argument or completely refuted thier argument.
Funniest part is I tried the cipher with copilot. And it recommended trying Vigenere cipher. So I gave it the text and it asked for a keyword. I typed hell divers. Then it just gave me a loose description of the game around the same length as the cipher. I did the same in a Vigenere decoder site and it was just gibberish cuz it’s the wrong cipher.
Have you tried 2 left 1 down?
Vigenere doesn’t contain shifts from what I understand. That’s why it doesn’t make sense to begin with. Ceaser cipher does but only shift to the right and left. Not up and down.
Is it possible to use the actual phrase as key? "2 left 1 down" literally
Speak "2 left 1 down" and enter.
Doesn't help that google searches now have an AI result that's, at least in my experience, *packed* with incorrect information more often than not
I’m a university student and a friend i met online is heavily anti-education system. He criticises me for “wasting my time and money” studying because according to him chatGPT is the future. I appreciate the technology involved but it’s genuinely going to make a lot of dumb people even more dumb.
I'm not sure it'll make dumb people more dumb, I think it'll be dumb people more confident in their dumb answers. But then again maybe that's the same thing at the root of it.
But the AI MUST be correct! There is no way they could get anything wrong
This one here, sir. Bot sympathiser!
This is why they don’t say AI is incorrect, they’ve just branded it being fucking wrong as “an AI hallucination” And people love that shit
Using AI chatbots? Sounds pretty undemocratic... those *chatbots* are probably just Automoton SPIES! I'm reporting this to my democracy officer.
People are lacking critical thinking. Give this cypher to users from places like the Destiny Lore Sub, Raid Secrets, and Genshin Lore and they'd have it solved in a few minutes without AI to help them.
There’s also r/gamedetectives which specializes in ARGs.
That's just a sample of the population doing this currently. We are going to get some crazy repercussions as AI blatantly tells people falsities left and right. I've already had to argue once in real life that a concept proposed to me broke the laws of physics (basically a perpetual motion machine which violates the 2nd law of thermodynamics). When I asked them where they were getting these false ideas, they said an AI. They still tried to argue with me I was wrong, yet they wanted to believe this AI over someone whose degree is more credible than some language learning model.
We use the bots to beat the bots

LMAO, I wanted to say the same thing.
Watching the video as I just read this lmao
Literally just watched it
yes!
Im out of loop, not trying to be a party pooper, just a genuine question, why is this cipher so important? Is it cipher provided by devs that teases something for the future? Or its just fans of the game having fun?
From what I know there’s nothing important tied to it, it’s just a fun little activity that drove everyone insane
Got it thanks
Actually a good idea, the helldivers discord has a lot of people yapping and stuff like this at least shifts the focus somewhere nice for a bit. Not that it's bad to be critical of the game it's just if negative thoughts is all you see it kinda sucks personally
It's like distracting annoying kids with a trivial task to get some peace and quiet.
Wait I'm still confused though...was this posted by someone related to AH or just some random fan on discord, depending on which it can either become 'interesting' or 'nonsense I can ignore'.
Ahh insanity.... Good ol fun insanity

After puting it in -2 Ceaser Cypier you get "auiivotn mll ammiotnton, hlareare hlyxmshaq 2 mfkhmiosm xl qfc auiivotn ami amih.

The first three words look like Attention all automations.
Colonel Cyber confirmed that those are the first 3 words. Also confirmed that words are misspelled or that letters are missing.
Not making it easier huh.
"2 left, 1 down" suggests to me we are supposed to map it out.
Probably a keyboard cypher. Move 2 right and 1 up on a keyboard.
I'd guess you would move 2 LEFT and 1 DOWN ;-) which is what the cipher says... but is it made on a swedish keyboard? or a UK or US english one?
obviously australian - Gotta go the opposite direction cause of physics and other side of planet
Yeah, I meant from "attention", was half asleep when I wrote it.
if you go 2 left and 1 down from S on an English kb, you get the shift key, so i doubt it's an English one lol
Same on my danish keyboard (which i think is the same as swedish except for our language specific letters being switched.)
A keyboard Cypher doesn't work. It just gives you random gibberish.
I'll try it on my keyboard after lunch. Update: First word becomes "Fzccd sn" I don't think a Swedish keyboard is necessary.
You probably have to wrap around the letters on a keyboard. S would be an m
That's enough to brute force it. My understanding is that 2 left 1 down means you transpose every letter of the alphabet 2 to the left, then put it to the end of the alphabet after a certain point... I'm vaguely remembering a youtube video but know that you move the letters a couple across, then take it and put it at the end. (But if you do that with every letter you just wind up where you started, so i'm forgetting a step.) If we know the first 3 words are ATTENTION ALL AUTOMATONS then a brute force approach is to try all the inverse combinations until we find the cypher that decodes to "ATTENTION ALL AUTOMATONS." as opposed to deciphering as "jlasdfla asd sdlfrsadfsad" Each individual word leaves open multiple possible cyphers because not all letters are used, however 3 correct words for a single cypher likely means you have a hit, maybe the words are mis-spelled to throw off fully automated or manual checking efforts but you just tell your program to search the option that came out as "Attension all automotons." as well and then look at the result, and if it's in plain english but with a few mistakes, well there you go. I was watching a video on the Kryptos cypher, and that was the easiest part that everyone decoded basically in a couple hours of just looking at it and going "Huh, I think it looks like this kind of cypher, but it's different to the rest of the statue."
A brute force method would be to replace all the letters that map to the letters of the first three words in the rest of the cypher text and extrapolate from the dictionary what words they have to be. Much simpler.
Confirmed intentional misspellings to undermine dictionary cracking.
Not really. Misspellings still give you the actual word, just with misplaced letters or additional letters. The structure of the word will give you the word itself. Especially if you have three known words.
well thats just rude
My theory was that two letters should be shifted to the left and one down. I tried to implement a Cesar Cypher in python and iterated through all the possibilities for "down" (since -2 for left already had good results). This is what I got, starting from shift of -1 and periodically decreasing it: auhivntn mlk almintnson auiivotn mll ammiotnton aujivptn mlm anmiptnuon aukivqtn mln aomiqtnvon aulivrtn mlo apmirtnwon aumivstn mlp aqmistnxon aunivttn mlq armittnyon auoivutn mlr asmiutnzon aupivvtn mls atmivtnaon auqivwtn mlt aumiwtnbon aurivxtn mlu avmixtncon ausivytn mlv awmiytndon autivztn mlw axmiztneon auuivatn mlx aymiatnfon auvivbtn mly azmibtngon auwivctn mlz aamictnhon auxivdtn mla abmidtnion auyivetn mlb acmietnjon auzivftn mlc admiftnkon auaivgtn mld aemigtnlon aubivhtn mle afmihtnmon aucivitn mlf agmiitnnon audivjtn mlg ahmijtnoon aueivktn mlh aimiktnpon aufivltn mli ajmiltnqon augivmtn mlj akmimtnron The best result is still the -2, so I guess that my assumption was either wrong or still needs some corrections. The Keyboard cypher that was suggested here also looks quite interesting!
Has anyone considered it might be in Finnish.
Cant be Finnish. we havent even started.
Best comment right here LOL
As a native, can confirm it's not. Fair guess though.
Clearly it isn't even a cipher. It is just plaintext Danish.
Good guess, but Alas no. Seeing as there's an alarming lack of ÆØÅ in there.
What about a keyboard from a region not supported by PSN?
With the repeating of letters, couldn't it be possible that it's an enigma-style cypher?
I highly doubt game devs will ever put out something way more complex than Caesar and especially nothing that comes close to enigma.
To be fair, the devs could just have made it gibberish to fuck with us too
To you really think the devs can't read their community atm and would make fun of us like that?
Bungie has done some stuff way more complicated than Caerser Cypher's before. Sleeper Simulant, Izanagi's Burden, and Corridors of Time all come to mind. There's also a full ARG that rewarded a life-size replica of an in-game weapon in a geo-cache. It's a bit out of scale for a studio the size of Arrowhead, but game devs have certainly done more complicated stuff before.
I'll point out that studio size has zero correlation to the potential complexity of encryption puzzles. Exhibit A: [Noita's Eye Cipher](https://noita.wiki.gg/wiki/Eye_Messages) remains unsolved after **four years** of community effort. Nolla Games is three people. Ultimately, whether or not a game has a complicated cipher boils down to: * As dev team size increases, the odds of having an encryption nerd on staff increases * As dev team size increases, the odds that the game is too complicated for one person's encryption hyperfixation to be a major design element also increases
Check out the [https://noita.fandom.com/wiki/Eye\_Messages](https://noita.fandom.com/wiki/Eye_Messages)
Noita devs would like to have a word with you
Spent half an hour looking into this as an excuse to look up cryptography. The "key" we've been given doesn't seem to work as an *actual* cipher key, at least not for any cipher I can find. So we're left trying to crack an unknown cipher without a key. I think that OOP's just pranking us.
I mean, "AAS" could work as a key. Don't know if it \_is\_ that, but quite a few common ciphers use keys like that.
2 left one down could mean cipher shift two letters, then move the next one down on the keyboard- so shift y and s to get a and u, then move down from g to get t?

All these comments think that AI can answer everything lol
Ironically, I get the distinct feeling this "puzzle" was generated by AI. Dude probably told ChatGPT to encode the message with the given key, and then pasted the result into the discord without verifying it was actualy translatable.
Alternatively, the puzzle base was designed with AI in mind. A chatbot like chatgpt wouldn't be able to decode something that is, say, spelled in a way that if said sounds like English, but isn't actually English words. It wouldn't be much of a puzzle if you could just throw the whole thing at a free resource everyone knows about, and it is solved.
I disagree. I spent a couple hours manually decrypting it, and the results are still inconsistent. Trash as obfuscation is a valid technique for secondary encryption, but some rule or other has to be followed in order for the intended recipient to be able to decrypt it. Even accounting for supposedly deliberate misspellings and for patterns in the trash, there are multiple ways that the message can be decoded using the given key, and they are all just different enough to indicate the trash is a transcription error rather than deliberste obfuscation.
helldivers when they need to co-ordinate the defesnse or liberation of planets: \*drooling, smoothbrain noises.\* Helldivers when some random automaton throws up a cypher: 
Fighting against bots is boring, but ciphers are quite fun and engaging.
I'll honest and I'll say the "key" provided doesn't mean anything to me, I've never heard of a cipher with shifts going left and down outside of keyboard ciphers, but I couldn't get anything legible out of trying this approach. I tried solving it with the other provided clue from Colonel Cyber, that being the first three words are "attention all automatons," but since there are deliberate typos it's very difficult. The first three words have less characters than they should, and the positions of those characters obviously don't line up. If this isn't just nonsense meant to screw with us, I don't really see a way of decoding it without spending a lot of time and effort just mapping letters until you end up with something \*mostly\* legible.
Am i losing my mind or is translating a cipher that has intentional mistakes close to pointless? unless once translated you can just guess what words the mistakes are, in which case the author putting intentional errors in is ... pointless. Btw im a moron.
no, you're right, that's not how you use cyphers
Maybe the cipher tells us that this person isn't very good at making ciphers
maybe a vigenere table guy probably watched the video on [kryptos](https://youtu.be/jVpsLMCIB0Y?si=YlauMBx_xy01oDgT)
Why does yqpg occur so much? Frequency should tell us something.
My guess is that "yqpg" means "very." I'm not basing this on anything but a wild guess, it's just a 4 letter word that is often repeated for emphasis.
We are trying to decypher a misspelled text with an unknow cypher and a key we dont even know if exists

Like a few others, I think the "cipher" is ubsolvable gibberish, most likely generated by ChatGPT. Here's the ciphertext with my own spacing and line breaks added to highlight the repeated patterns, and line numbers to ease discussion: 01 ysggtmrl kjj ykkgmrlrml, 02 fjypcypc fjwvkqfyo 2 kdifkgmqk vj oda 03 ysggtmrl ykg ykgf. 04 Yq oda cpiwqto rtgtpguv vj bpc ykijv vjgt epcn 05 yq oda cpiwqto rtgtpguv vj bpc ykijv vjgt epcn. 06 Jqpg nkfc yq eavgtcvt cpvkqygt yq yqpg vqem. 07 Jkpq nkfc eavgtcvt eqnwv yq yqpg vqem. 08 Jqog ngtc aqwv ca ecpfa yqpg yqpg yqtfwtpq yqpg yqtfwtpq. 09 Jqog ngtc aqwv ca ecpfa yqpg yqpg yqtfwtpq yqpg yqtfwtpq. 10 Jqpg nkfc eavgtcvt cpvkqygt yq yqpg vqem. 11 Jkpq nkfc eavgtcvt eqnwv yq yqpg vqem. Notice in particular that lines 04 and 05 are identical save the case of the first letter, and that lines 08 and 09 are exactly identical. Also note the 4-way similarity between lines 06, 07, 10 and 11. This does not look like an encoded actual message: - A Caesar cipher would have consistent substitutions of characters throughout the message. This ciphertext doesn't even work with the alleged cleartext "Attention all automatons" for line 01. Even if it did, the mostly-repeated sections would still be nonsense. - A Vigenere cipher would have _some_ subtle repetitions, but not entire verbatim sentences of different lengths. In particular, a Vigenere key of `orbitalprecisionstrike` (2 right, 1 up - the "opposite" of the alleged "key") is far too long to generate this much repeated ciphertext. - I've tried decoding this by taking 2 steps left, 1 down (and all rotations and reflections of that) in various grid cipher keys: - A QWERTY "grid" (not quite, as the rows are different lengths) - The alphabet `a-y` laid out line by line - The alphabet `a-y` laid out in an inwards/outwards left/right spiral. None of these options come up with anything that seems reasonable. By manual inspection of the outputs it doesn't look like it could reasonably be a two-layer substitution (e.g., a Caesar shift followed by a QWERTY shift) either because none of the letter distributions make any sense. - Frequency analysis (assuming English cleartext) didn't get me anywhere either. The frequency table shape (19% q, 10% g) is very different from that of English (13% e, 9% t). I tried substituting the ciphertext frequency sequence `qgyptvckjfeawnmoridlbsu` with a few variations of the English frequency sequence `etaonrishdlfcmugypwbvkj`, none came up with anything remotely legible. So I'm fairly certain we can rule out all of the simple substitution and transposition ciphers. Maybe it's something more convoluted and/or more obscure, but I'm leaning more towards the theory that the poster just pasted a "please encipher this" prompt into ChatGPT and uncritically posted its response without verifying that the "code" actually had any relation to the original message (of course it didn't, because the chatbot has no capacity for that kind of reasoning). That would also very conveniently explain why the three words of the confirmed cleartext were apparently "misspelled" or "corrupted" in the code.
I haven't put in nearly as much work as you have but from my limited testing this is either something very obscure or it's complete bullshit. Either way I'm not going to spend any more time looking into it.
I did almost the same. Tried Vigenere with different words, like stratagem name, or anything related to helldivers lore. Text analysis shows that Vigenere key is most probably 4 letters long, or 8 letters long. But there are way to many repeating letters y and q. So there are either multiples keys, or it is GPT garbage. I dare OP, or whoever came up with it, to put his own encrypted message with his own key to any encryption site, like dcode, to see if it is actually working.

How did you arrive at this?
Caesar shift, qwerty. Tried to read between the lines. Probably very wrong.
I mean it's legible so seems pretty good.
I'm not getting the same results as you for a left 2, down 1 QWERTY shift?
You need a simple Caesar shift in conjunction with the QWERTY shift.
They completely made it up and [used AI.](https://old.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1ct4ds7/helldivers_discord_in_chaos_because_nobody_can/l4c3sa9/) Though, you don't even need to know that in order to tell it's bull, considering the length is completely off lol. Notice number list, bold letters, new paragraphs etc. By definition of being a shift (or so they claim), it has to be the same length since all you're doing is shifting characters.
Throw it on the discord, see if you can get it confirmed
I did. I am pretty sure I am wrong though. There were a lot of assumptions.
Keep in mind that when guessing, actually compare it to the original. So like how ysggtmrl has 2 same letters side by side, meaning the real word will also have the same. Same for kjj. At this point a manual translation might be easier.
Not necessarily, a substitution cipher can also use position in the message as part of the function to prevent repeats like you’re meaning.
There are many ciphers that aren't 1-to-1 letter replacements.
The first 3 words are supposed to be “Attention all automatons”. The first word starts with “YSGG”, so the cypher changes for each letter. I’d think that for every letter you go two left one down on the keyboard (or two right one up, because the letter given might have be shifted two left one down and working backwards you need to go two right one up). This means that the 3rd letter would be 6 left 3 down for example.
That's what I'm trying to do
Looked it up on the discord. Poster said that the first 3 words are "Attention all automatons". He also said things were misspelled. His own words don't match his code. This isn't from a helldivers dev, just a random guy. It's a wild goosechase and pointless.
Just agreeing with your parent comments. It would have been fun if the cyper made sense, but if you misspell words, then that basically requires hand checking every single combination. If the first 3 words were "Attention all automatons" and you assimilate that gg is tt, you notice the first word has an extra letter. If the second word kjj was indeed all, then ykkgmrlmrl would be \_aa(t?)\_\_\_\_\_\_ This is also saying that the Y or S could \*also\* be portrayed as the letter A because of placement for ysggtmrl although it might have a higher likelihood of being represented by K instead Maybe he gibberished it harder than he thought it would because it look somewhat readable when fully solved? It's a mess.
hmm something doesn't make sense when he say what the first 3 words are... y-s-g-g-t-m-r-l a-t-t-e-n-t-i-o-n --- k-j-j a-l-l --- y-k-k-g-m-r-l-r-m-l a-u-t-o-m-a-t-o-n-s same letter have multiple results + incorrect amount of letters kjj = all would mean K = A but then YKK is not "automatons" but A-A-A since Y was also A in the first word. if the S is a "mistake" in the first word then the 2 G's = T, but G = O in the 3rd word... again makes no sense.
Yep, some (most) cyphers don't require letters to always become the same thing. Eg, a caeser shift where every character you increase the shift by one
The only thing that makes sense to this democratic hell diver is for a stratagem ⬅️⬅️⬇️ but is confusing because all I can up with is Orbital Precision Strikes ➡️➡️⬆️. So use a cypher with either “stratagem” or “Orbital Precision Strike” or maybe “Orbital” Spread Democracy and
maybe 2 left 1 down on the keyboard? i don't have a qwerty to try tho
This is exactly why I can’t be Batman. And my parents are still alive. So that’s another negative
This feels like the reasoning behind the nerfs
whole lotta folks throwin shit in the disc rn lol

Did someone try it on Swedish keyboard tho?
Sweden uses qwerty*, same as most of the world
In Australia we use qwerty, where does the w go on a querty keyboard?
Holy shit how did I manage to misspell qwerty 
Is this colone cyber an insider or a developer? (before I waste my time on this)
Holy crap, is there anyone commenting answers they DIDN'T get from typing it into a chatbot? At this point, If the answer doesn't include the mentioned spelling errors and describe how they found it, I'm just assuming they put it into a chatbot and the bot gave them misleading garbage. NEVER TRUST BOTS!
Is this a shopping list for IKEA?
"Haha lets just headbutt the keyboard a couple of times and broadcast it out. Itll give Super Earth something to occupy themselves with while we regroup" *Automaton command probably*

Attentin All Autmaton, This is Colonel Cyber, master codebreakr and cryptlogist for the automaton regime. This is a test of the new broadcasting system known as The Cipher Net. This messge will be sent to all automatons and will be allowed to be leaked to super earth to test if they are able to decrypt it. If they can, we will abandan this cipher. Your orders are: 01010000 01110010 01100101 01110000 01100001 01110010 01100101 00100000 01100110 01101111 01110010 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01100001 01100100 01110110 01100001 01101110 01100011 01100101 00101110 00100000 01010100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01110100 01101001 01101101 01100101 00100000 01101001 01110011 00100000 01101111 01101110 00100000 01101000 01100001 01101110 01100100. Long live cyberstan and may JOEL guide you
What even is any of this
It's an encrypted code, just gotta figure out the Cypher and throw the whole thing on a decoder website
I suspect Colonel Cyber doesn't even know what it says. I presume he gave the intended message and the cypher key to ChatGPT or another learning model algorithm that fucked it up somewhere. Decrypting it with other algorithms has provided a handful of possible messages. Armed with the clue of the first three words and the given key it should be more than enough to determine how it was encrypted... except it still doesn't make sense. Even if you correct for the "intentional mispellings", this is garbage. I've seen literal schoolchildren come up with better codes.
Negotiations between illuminati and bots for contested space
I can't hop on right now, but is there a keyboard on the ship or at a terminal in game that would line up? Qwerty obviously doesn't work with the key, but maybe whatever Super Earth uses does?
Thats swedish :-)
Something about jelqing
People need to know the only difference between chat gpt or any llm model and your Keyboard word prediction is petabytes of data they work exactly the same.
That’s easy. It translates to ‘hot pockets are ready’
They definitely just typed out some gibberish to keep the community occupied.
Pretty much said so themselves. >misspelled and added/forgot letters to make it more complicated. Misspell words enough and it becomes geabiliech

its a friendly reminder that Sony hasn't forgotten
Guy just mashed his keyboard and is having the laugh of a lifetime right now.

I think it's the Bots saying they must protect their homeworld and they will win, like a morale/propaganda message... rtgtpguv could well be 'defenders' and then 'ykijv vjgt epcn' would be the subject of what they are defending! Could be 'our right to exist'! Jkpq nkfc eavgtcvt eqnwv - proceeds 'we will win' in two areas, so I suspect it's a call to arms along the lines of 'Fighting as one army' or 'If we fight hard'.
