And I've just seen more of the leaks for them, and it seems they have actually made a deal with space cuthulu to try and win this war, so the jungle definitely is gonna speak cuthulu now.
This is a warning to new Helldivers: These guys are no joke, lmfao The bugs just swarm you, the bots rely on firepower, but the illuminate....they are smart, strategic, and will mess with you down to your controls ,literally.
What you mean by "controls", soldier? The records from the First Galactic War state that illusionists and council members cast a neurological pulse on you.
@sandgunslinger2739 They got walls ,man. There's a unit that spawns walls at will. Imagine your running to evac, and it just spawns a wall blocking your way. You're gonna wish you brought a jumppack.
Just so you guys know Malevelon Creek was the bloodiest battle of the war. 24 million Divers dead over 9 weeks. We just saved Calypso from the Illuminate. 37 million dead. It was under invasion for 2 days.
And now we lose 4 planets due to the new illuminate invasion, genesis prime and mog are basically lost, gar and shelt are definetly lost also which leaves our factory hub planet WIDE open to bug invasion
There were more divers on calypso. Per mission the casualties may have been the same or less, but the sheer quantity of divers on Calypso made it so that the casualty rate surpassed Malevelon by a large margin.
Bugs swarm you, bots fire everything at you, the Illuminate snipe your friends from a mile away, teleport a squad of walkers behind you, block your retreat with an energy wall, then reverse all your inputs while a cloaker sneaks up on either side.
Predator/Alien theme. Full on attack of xenophobia, fear of the unknown. Terminids are based from Starship Troopers movie where there is a clear good guy/bad guy so it tends to sound like a hero in a crisis. Automatons were based on terminator robots but they're the opposing 'humanoid' side that choose machinery over their humanity so it's a war between democracy vs. communism, a gritty battle of ideology.

All those comments I left blowing them off as nothing more than a bunch of calamari waiting to be cooked... And yet, I was the one getting cooked. Sweet Democracy, the squids got buff.
From what i’ve learned from fighting the Illuminate so far is Not only are they basically a hard mixture of bots and bugs, swarming you, gunning you down and whatnot They’re also smart
The stories I heard from the vets about the aliens that look like squids and that are called illuminates give me chills. They even told me that the creek was nothing but a child's playground for them but hell for us. A vet once told me to be prepared to run because they would appear behind, and if Super Earth would ever fall, it would be because of them. I have never seen fear coming from the vet before in my life.
Was talking to a vet in a server im in and all they could muster was warnings about their deep seeded trauma involving "walls of light" and scrambled controls
As a non vet i always saw the creek as no more than just flooded with scrap metals, But all the stories ive heard It gives chills and very liltle hope, If our cadets struggle with a bunch of microwaves that rely on firepower, and bugs that are just a warm up, how thfuk can we win a war against intelligent strategic beings with redicilous tech We're fked💀...
@@zedmedina8591 8 months later. December 12/13, 2024. Illuminate vanguard launched a surprise attack on Calypso, Saleria sector. They mind controlled thousands of Super Earth citizens to reanimate them as voteless zombies to use as cannon fodder. They took away their democracy and freedom. Over 180k Helldivers stationed to Calypso as soon as possible to ward them off. The result? Another win for the right side of history, however... Malevelon Creek, the most grueling battle of the Second Galactic War took 27 million Helldivers killed in action over the course of 2 weeks. Calypso was invaded for 2 days. *37 million Helldivers killed in action.*
Bro these cadets can’t handle the bots. The Illuminate are going to eviscerate them. Good. We need only the strongest Divers if we want to truly spread Democracy.
I want them to be legitimately hard. Bugs and bots are challenging on Helldive, but I want some Halo 2 Legendary levels of challenge with these guys. I want to genuinely dread fighting them
@@BogMaster-q9k i heard that the tripod was supposed to be the charger/hulk unit for the illuminate. It'll probably be like the automatons- once the main fleet arrives the whole bestiary of the illuminate will be available.
i was expecting the illuminate to be like fighting the covenant as a normal marine/odst. i wasnt expecting it to be like fighting the flood as well, and god am i here for it
Mostly leak from ironsight is 90% correct Because he just data mind Those thing are already in the game I don't know why still have people don't believe him
I think they all hold a century old grudge Except maybe the automatons, but I bet cyborg propaganda has corrupted their “minds” worse than the other factions
This reminds me of the type of music they had in Doom eternal when you were in the sections of Urdak. Both of them have a computing technological rhythm, foreboding string and synthetic section, and the voice chorus gives off an impression of angels. All this culminates in a sense that the enemy you're facing has become so technologically advanced that they believe that they have achieved enlightenment through it.
Reminder that the illuminate’s may have an apocalyptic look when they arrive since we stripped them from most of their technology in the first galactic war
From what I understand they originate from outside our galaxy. And what we encountered in HD1 was like, a scouting colony just setting up shop in the milky way
I love how this song just feels like the embodiment of dread and the fear of the unknown and is a complete contrast to the more heroic songs that play in the game
Bro I'm a rookie myself and I can't keep thinking that the worst is yet to come, and the divers going on about malevelon have no idea Especially considering its likely were going to lose a LOT of ground and a lot of HARD campaigns since super earth has a liberation status
As a rookie building up my knowledge and resources who hasn't even touched Malevelon Creek. I fear for my future survival. I know that I am currently ill equipped to deal with just the bots. Let alone the illuminate.
@@quantumslime7265 the good thing about the illuminate is that they are somewhere between bugs and bots when it comes to how easy it is to take them down. Most have a shield, but if it's going to be like in helldivers 1, your trusty flamethower will ignore the shield partially, with the flame AoE dealing damage through the shield. They are also not *as* range focused as the bots, there aren't as many ranged units and will mostly melee you. There are a few troublesome things though that, despite them being between the two existing factions when it comes to tankiness, will makes them harder to face than the bots. I kid you not, Malevelon Creek will look like a playground in comparison. 1: the illuminate use hit 'n run tactics using teleportation and cloaking technology. 2: as i mentioned, they have shields. They will not be as well armored, but most of them will have a shield that requires to be shot first. 3: snipers. A common fodder they set in a lot can snipe you from a distance in combination with their ambush tactics. And this is just the tip of what they will bring to the table. Honestly though, comparing to what we got, they are a bless to fight. My favorite faction to fight in hd1 as well. The bugs are mere ferals, the bots are AI that focus on overwhelming forces. The illuminate is the only faction besides humans with a true sentience, and thus fighting them will feel like you're actually going to space vietnam and more. I'd recommend picking up the first game yourself though, trust me when i say that everything about helldivers 2 is in spirit of the first game, and it is just as fun.
@@wickerg041 Yikes. That sounds simultaneously like hell and a lot of fun. Maybe I'll take your advice and try the first game out. Especially since I'm a greenie who jumped on the hype train of HD 2. Thanks for the input.
@@quantumslime7265 no problem! And imo the best way to prepare for the illuminate is by playing the first game. Fun fact btw, in the first game the automatons are not the automatons. They were actually cyborgs with an interesting lore, humans that declared independence from super earth. It's an experience you gotta experience yourself tbh, since without helldivers 1 there would not be a 2. And so you can proudly say, "i went from hypetrain ride to full liberty enjoyer!"
Every theme in Helldivers 2 has a sense of heroism and motivation. The Automaton and Terminid themes are different but they still have their intense strings and valiant horns. They perfectly illustrate that these factions are a threat but also motivate you in the fight against them. Recently, a third enemy of Super Earth has emerged, an ancient foe like no other. The Illuminate, or Squ'ith were originally aquatic lifeforms that evolved thousands of years before humanity even existed and their technology and ideology reflects this. Their tech is indiscernible from magic, being able to psychically conjure up walls and mind control people. Yet, unlike Super Earth, they have no military. They were pacifists focusing on the advancement of science and thought. 100 years ago, in the first Galactic War, Super Earth invaded them for their alleged "Weapons of Mass Destruction." In reality Super Earth was invading them for their technology. They had few volunteers and their main defense were police robots and surveillance cameras. Even with very limited military might, they were still the most formidable and difficult enemy Super Earth ever fought against. At the end of the first Galactic War, their tech was stolen, and they were presumably eradicated or exiled from the Milky Way. But now they have returned. The few Illuminate that remain are back, and different, changed by the horrors Super Earth inflicted upon them. Their elegant and flowing designs have turned grungy and brutal. Their theme is different from the rest, instead of motivating strings and horns they have horrifying synths and creepy choirs. They are no longer pacifists like before, that time has passed. They are willing to be as cruel to us as we were to them. There won't be any heroic war stories, or courageous hymns about the heroes of this war. This is Fear.
Illuminate is more like war of the worlds with how some of the units look, both have the squid connection and the title fits what’s going on between them terminids is essentially pest control, cyborgs/automatons is more like an rebellion of people originally from super earth itself but only the illuminate is truly a clash between worlds
Of course he is, if the war is going too well, it means you are missing something big. Expect the Termicide to blow up in our faces somehow and the Bots to do a major incursion that will take everyone by surprise at the same time the Illuminate make their move. This will take all hands on deck just to stop them and even then even Super Earth will be in jeopardy.
I readed some comment that it "will be some kind of dark hole fluid to destroy meridia, and after that it will be the perfect time for illuminate to strike". I think it is what will happen.
i’m calling it; before the summer is over, the illuminate will be back. Either in full force as a third faction or very rarely and quietly messing with players on other fronts
after hearing stories what our great grandparents fought in the first galactic war, I'm going to need something bigger than my autocannon and dominator....
@@IAmTheStig32 Planet: Meridia Status: destroyed by a black hole created with the Illuminate-origin substance from the first war (??unclear if destroyed??) Results: a black hole with weird noises Well, prepare your PTSD chromosomes, Divers
When these guys show up, Malevelon Creek is gonna look like a trip to Disneyland 💀 The Illuminate will certainly be our greatest foe yet, but we must be prepared. Let them come, for Super Earth depends on us all.
Where Terminids music sounded like you were being chased with relentless swarms, Automatons' sounding EXTREMELY dramatic shootout with a tinge of WW2... this just sounds cold and calculated. The notes heard between giving that "You are being HUNTED" vibe and never straying to being overly noisy, more as a backdrop to remind you to stay focused. The illuminate were a right pain in the ass in HD1, and their theme there really didn't hit it with me owing to the fuckery they commit. This song here? Scares me shitless to even imagine what we'll be up against.
We need this energy. The kind of thing that makes players watch each other’s backs. A team that locks in together and supports each other will not fall. But you guys that love to do your own thing, leave behind your squad…. The Illuminate are watching.
From the moment a new player like myself exited the hellpod solo in dark gloomy jungles, the music instantly set the tone to go for the stealthy approach. Sure enough, hit-and-run tactics seem to be effective at avoiding unending hordes and reinforcements. Such is the genius of the soundtrack design to set the tone of how each faction fights.
The utmost praise to the Helldivers of old who endured true Automaton combat in the creek. Picking off outposts in combat zones with sparse vegetation doesn’t do justice for what they faced. Only critiques so far are the lack of ranged explosive primaries (making the engineer kit a necessity) and the superstore having an extended sale, delaying the rotation of much needed specialist armor sets.
I'm a Draupnir vet, I was there when it was less than 10k while everyone fucked off to deploy the termicide. I don't know anything about the illuminate, but frankly, I've faced down half a dozen charging hulks and lived to tell the story with an autocannon and some well-cooked grenades. Let em come.
Let then come your so funny man if they are anything like the first game you won't see them coming masters of cloaking tech and disruption tactics they specialize in hit and run divide and conquer tactics I personally am not looking forward to the meeting the cloaked snipers again
I was among the last Creek Vets to retreat after the planet fell, I thought draupnir would be quick and easy before we went back to the real fight. It ended up being just as worse, the fucking robots have dug in on the mountainsides, ICBMS are useless when they're dug in so deeply. All we can do is go in and close off the exits and hope we get critical damage
At this point, it's not a matter of *IF* the Illuminate return... but *WHEN.* And I can assure you, the new helldivers, me included, have NO IDEA how to face an enemy as smart as you veteran Helldivers make them out to be. Our best bet is to simply study the enemy as they study us, try and figure out what tactics, armor and weapons to employ and which stratagems will work best THROUGH TRIAL AND ERROR.
@@thegamingplaguedoctorI’ve focused on bots so I am ready for them, since level 1 I’ve done mostly bot missions, only a few bug missions. If anyone is ready for the illuminate it’s going to be the automaton helldivers.
@@mclovin2408Honestly, while the automatons teach you how to survive overwhelming firepower, the Illuminate will probably require the knowledge of how to not get yourself killed with their nonsensical abilities
Came here searching for the theme, the Illuminate are finally here. Helldivers, this is not a drill, get to your hellpods. Time to show the squids who rules the Milky Way galaxy with a democratic fist!
The score sounds soo out of this world and ominous. Like helldivers are now returning to the south sectors to find out the illuminates, beings missing for sentries since the last galactic war, now returned. And hungry for revenge. And the helldiver feeling the scale of how big of a problem and how it would affect the war-
They're waiting for us to finish off the bugs and bots. This isn't about just catching us at a weakpoint, this is a personal grudge. They want our full might to face them to show us how lucky we got in the first galactic war.
Вероятно, в первой войне мы сражались только с большой колонией. Сейчас же к нам идут основные силы, и они чертовски злы. Но они не ослеплены яростью, нет. Они ждут, пока больше защитников человечества погибнет в борьбе с жуками и автоматонами, что бы потом нанести свой сокрушительный удар 🚬💀
that moment you realize they released the ost for the illuminate long before we got the illuminate. glad I only just found it cause this is a musical spoiler of sorts
Can’t wait to be walking through a forest with my squad, see one probe. And have an entire illuminate squad teleport in, flay my friend with a barrier in two, mindfuck my battlebuddy and die instantly.
Considering the Illuminate were some of the most dangerous sharpshooters during my service in the First War, I really hope we get some better equipment if they show up in the galaxy again
@@Dagamochujek Indeed. Not many people play automatons, so because of the difficulty of the illuminates, I doubt many people will fight them. But I plan to. Sounds like fun and hell at the same time.
What I love about this ost is that it isn’t an ost of war like the automaton’s and Bugs with their marches and overwhelming bass/forces. This ost is meant to give you a feeling of uncertainty and fear as if we really don’t know what we’re fighting against. We can’t rally against an uknowing natural feel. I love the pulsating drum’s too, just adds to the feeling of un-natural.
from some audio leaks a terrifying discovery has been made that we gotta use flares to see them since the planets we'll be fighting them on are so dark and dense, downside to using flares is that they can see you and stealth aint an option, downside to NOT using them is that you cant really fight what you can't see and in the end even with flares the cloaking will get you

From what i’ve learned from fighting the Illuminate so far is
Not only are they basically a hard mixture of bots and bugs, swarming you, gunning you down and whatnot
They’re also smart
FINALLY, they are here, looking for vengeance... Helldivers... THIS IS NOT A DRILL, REPEAT THIS IS NOT A DRILL, THE SQUIDS ARE BACK!!!
The stories I heard from the vets about the aliens that look like squids and that are called illuminates give me chills. They even told me that the creek was nothing but a child's playground for them but hell for us. A vet once told me to be prepared to run because they would appear behind, and if Super Earth would ever fall, it would be because of them. I have never seen fear coming from the vet before in my life.
Was talking to a vet in a server im in and all they could muster was warnings about their deep seeded trauma involving "walls of light" and scrambled controls
As a non vet i always saw the creek as no more than just flooded with scrap metals,
But all the stories ive heard
It gives chills and very liltle hope,
If our cadets struggle with a bunch of microwaves that rely on firepower, and bugs that are just a warm up, how thfuk can we win a war against intelligent strategic beings with redicilous tech
We're fked💀...

8 months later. December 12/13, 2024.
Illuminate vanguard launched a surprise attack on Calypso, Saleria sector. They mind controlled thousands of Super Earth citizens to reanimate them as voteless zombies to use as cannon fodder. They took away their democracy and freedom.
Over 180k Helldivers stationed to Calypso as soon as possible to ward them off. The result?
Another win for the right side of history, however...
Malevelon Creek, the most grueling battle of the Second Galactic War took 27 million Helldivers killed in action over the course of 2 weeks.
Calypso was invaded for 2 days.
*37 million Helldivers killed in action.*
I cant wait people people to start complaining about how "hard" the hardest and most deadly faction is and how they need to be nerfed
Real
If anything the illuminate will need buffs. Absolutely no nerfing the squids!
Try playing against them on The Inner Circle of Hell difficulty and you will see something harder than Dark Souls.
Bro these cadets can’t handle the bots. The Illuminate are going to eviscerate them.
Good. We need only the strongest Divers if we want to truly spread Democracy.
I want them to be legitimately hard. Bugs and bots are challenging on Helldive, but I want some Halo 2 Legendary levels of challenge with these guys. I want to genuinely dread fighting them
I was expecting them to use shields, ambush tactics, teleporting, long range weapons when they arrived.
I wasn't expecting FUCKING ZOMBIES!!
Tbf they are an extremely intelligent species
They haven't shown us everything yet.....
@@BogMaster-q9k i heard that the tripod was supposed to be the charger/hulk unit for the illuminate. It'll probably be like the automatons- once the main fleet arrives the whole bestiary of the illuminate will be available.

Everyone to Calypso! They’ve finally come!
GET ON THE FRONTLINE MEN THE ILLUMINATES ARE HERE
This reminds me of the type of music they had in Doom eternal when you were in the sections of Urdak. Both of them have a computing technological rhythm, foreboding string and synthetic section, and the voice chorus gives off an impression of angels. All this culminates in a sense that the enemy you're facing has become so technologically advanced that they believe that they have achieved enlightenment through it.
Rip and liberate until it is free
exactly what i thought, can't wait to fight the illuminate of sin.
Reminder that the illuminate’s may have an apocalyptic look when they arrive since we stripped them from most of their technology in the first galactic war

*Alert alert* *all helldivers report for immediate redeployment*
I love how this song just feels like the embodiment of dread and the fear of the unknown and is a complete contrast to the more heroic songs that play in the game
Helldiver rookies proudly boasting about Creek and Draupnir. When these fish faces return, y'all be squeaking differently.
Bro I'm a rookie myself and I can't keep thinking that the worst is yet to come, and the divers going on about malevelon have no idea
Especially considering its likely were going to lose a LOT of ground and a lot of HARD campaigns since super earth has a liberation status
As a rookie building up my knowledge and resources who hasn't even touched Malevelon Creek. I fear for my future survival. I know that I am currently ill equipped to deal with just the bots. Let alone the illuminate.
@@quantumslime7265 the good thing about the illuminate is that they are somewhere between bugs and bots when it comes to how easy it is to take them down. Most have a shield, but if it's going to be like in helldivers 1, your trusty flamethower will ignore the shield partially, with the flame AoE dealing damage through the shield. They are also not *as* range focused as the bots, there aren't as many ranged units and will mostly melee you. There are a few troublesome things though that, despite them being between the two existing factions when it comes to tankiness, will makes them harder to face than the bots. I kid you not, Malevelon Creek will look like a playground in comparison.
1: the illuminate use hit 'n run tactics using teleportation and cloaking technology.
2: as i mentioned, they have shields. They will not be as well armored, but most of them will have a shield that requires to be shot first.
3: snipers. A common fodder they set in a lot can snipe you from a distance in combination with their ambush tactics.
And this is just the tip of what they will bring to the table. Honestly though, comparing to what we got, they are a bless to fight. My favorite faction to fight in hd1 as well. The bugs are mere ferals, the bots are AI that focus on overwhelming forces. The illuminate is the only faction besides humans with a true sentience, and thus fighting them will feel like you're actually going to space vietnam and more.
I'd recommend picking up the first game yourself though, trust me when i say that everything about helldivers 2 is in spirit of the first game, and it is just as fun.
@@wickerg041 Yikes. That sounds simultaneously like hell and a lot of fun. Maybe I'll take your advice and try the first game out. Especially since I'm a greenie who jumped on the hype train of HD 2. Thanks for the input.
@@quantumslime7265 no problem! And imo the best way to prepare for the illuminate is by playing the first game. Fun fact btw, in the first game the automatons are not the automatons. They were actually cyborgs with an interesting lore, humans that declared independence from super earth. It's an experience you gotta experience yourself tbh, since without helldivers 1 there would not be a 2. And so you can proudly say, "i went from hypetrain ride to full liberty enjoyer!"
The ground speaks bug
The jungle speaks binary
*The stars speak Cthulhu*
And the skies sing of freedom
Every theme in Helldivers 2 has a sense of heroism and motivation. The Automaton and Terminid themes are different but they still have their intense strings and valiant horns. They perfectly illustrate that these factions are a threat but also motivate you in the fight against them. Recently, a third enemy of Super Earth has emerged, an ancient foe like no other. The Illuminate, or Squ'ith were originally aquatic lifeforms that evolved thousands of years before humanity even existed and their technology and ideology reflects this. Their tech is indiscernible from magic, being able to psychically conjure up walls and mind control people. Yet, unlike Super Earth, they have no military. They were pacifists focusing on the advancement of science and thought. 100 years ago, in the first Galactic War, Super Earth invaded them for their alleged "Weapons of Mass Destruction." In reality Super Earth was invading them for their technology. They had few volunteers and their main defense were police robots and surveillance cameras. Even with very limited military might, they were still the most formidable and difficult enemy Super Earth ever fought against. At the end of the first Galactic War, their tech was stolen, and they were presumably eradicated or exiled from the Milky Way. But now they have returned. The few Illuminate that remain are back, and different, changed by the horrors Super Earth inflicted upon them. Their elegant and flowing designs have turned grungy and brutal. Their theme is different from the rest, instead of motivating strings and horns they have horrifying synths and creepy choirs. They are no longer pacifists like before, that time has passed. They are willing to be as cruel to us as we were to them. There won't be any heroic war stories, or courageous hymns about the heroes of this war.
This
is
Fear.
The Illuminate will have their revenge!
🌽 🏀
All I glean from the tone of the music is that the squids are back, and they are fucking pissed.
Terminids - Starship Troopers
Automatons - Terminator 2
Illuminate - Independence Day
I knew helldivers 2 was a combination of great sci-fi action movies
Illuminate: Mass Effect, War of the Worlds, Xcom
FIghting the automatons legit feels like Kyle Reese simulator sometimes
Illuminate is more like war of the worlds with how some of the units look, both have the squid connection and the title fits what’s going on between them
terminids is essentially pest control, cyborgs/automatons is more like an rebellion of people originally from super earth itself but only the illuminate is truly a clash between worlds
Illuminate - Predator
GREATEST ENEMY OF FREEDOM
Joel is up to something...
I have a bad feelin' about this lads... 😱
Of course he is, if the war is going too well, it means you are missing something big. Expect the Termicide to blow up in our faces somehow and the Bots to do a major incursion that will take everyone by surprise at the same time the Illuminate make their move.
This will take all hands on deck just to stop them and even then even Super Earth will be in jeopardy.
No he aint, trust
Joel got the chef hat, everyone get ready
The dark fluid is here, and im scared realizing the illuminate might come anytime
I readed some comment that it "will be some kind of dark hole fluid to destroy meridia, and after that it will be the perfect time for illuminate to strike". I think it is what will happen.
@@thefumyandthechevwe 100% are destroying Merida because my democracy officer said it was already destroyed in a voice line

The Illuminate will certainly be our greatest foe yet, but we must be prepared. Let them come, for Super Earth depends on us all.
This is so much different. Instead of a beat to kinda jam to while fighting, it's just fear
Where Terminids music sounded like you were being chased with relentless swarms, Automatons' sounding EXTREMELY dramatic shootout with a tinge of WW2... this just sounds cold and calculated. The notes heard between giving that "You are being HUNTED" vibe and never straying to being overly noisy, more as a backdrop to remind you to stay focused.
The illuminate were a right pain in the ass in HD1, and their theme there really didn't hit it with me owing to the fuckery they commit. This song here? Scares me shitless to even imagine what we'll be up against.
How tf does this soundtrack keep getting better and better??? Wilbert is amazing.
Facts
We need this energy. The kind of thing that makes players watch each other’s backs. A team that locks in together and supports each other will not fall. But you guys that love to do your own thing, leave behind your squad….
The Illuminate are watching.
From the moment a new player like myself exited the hellpod solo in dark gloomy jungles, the music instantly set the tone to go for the stealthy approach. Sure enough, hit-and-run tactics seem to be effective at avoiding unending hordes and reinforcements. Such is the genius of the soundtrack design to set the tone of how each faction fights.
Welcome to the frontlines rookie, be sure to grab some libertea and salute those that fell at the creek and meridia
The utmost praise to the Helldivers of old who endured true Automaton combat in the creek. Picking off outposts in combat zones with sparse vegetation doesn’t do justice for what they faced. Only critiques so far are the lack of ranged explosive primaries (making the engineer kit a necessity) and the superstore having an extended sale, delaying the rotation of much needed specialist armor sets.
"Ready to kick some Illuminate butt, soldier?"
I'm a Draupnir vet, I was there when it was less than 10k while everyone fucked off to deploy the termicide. I don't know anything about the illuminate, but frankly, I've faced down half a dozen charging hulks and lived to tell the story with an autocannon and some well-cooked grenades. Let em come.
my brother in Draupnir if i ever see fog again im going to flip my shit
Don't get too cocky, arrogant pride is what lost us the Creek the first time
Let then come your so funny man if they are anything like the first game you won't see them coming masters of cloaking tech and disruption tactics they specialize in hit and run divide and conquer tactics I personally am not looking forward to the meeting the cloaked snipers again
I was among the last Creek Vets to retreat after the planet fell, I thought draupnir would be quick and easy before we went back to the real fight. It ended up being just as worse, the fucking robots have dug in on the mountainsides, ICBMS are useless when they're dug in so deeply. All we can do is go in and close off the exits and hope we get critical damage
@@ShadowBoss99 it is what it is.
"Helldiver. The Illuminate have returned. They are an ancient enemy-one we had believed was annihilated."
At this point, it's not a matter of *IF* the Illuminate return... but *WHEN.* And I can assure you, the new helldivers, me included, have NO IDEA how to face an enemy as smart as you veteran Helldivers make them out to be. Our best bet is to simply study the enemy as they study us, try and figure out what tactics, armor and weapons to employ and which stratagems will work best THROUGH TRIAL AND ERROR.
Had to buy Helldivers 1 just to practice fighting Illuminate lol
that drop at 1:05 is so good
War of the Worlds meets XCOM with just a hint of Mandalorian.

And the helldiver feeling the scale of how big of a problem and how it would affect the war-
They're waiting for us to finish off the bugs and bots. This isn't about just catching us at a weakpoint, this is a personal grudge. They want our full might to face them to show us how lucky we got in the first galactic war.
Вероятно, в первой войне мы сражались только с большой колонией. Сейчас же к нам идут основные силы, и они чертовски злы. Но они не ослеплены яростью, нет. Они ждут, пока больше защитников человечества погибнет в борьбе с жуками и автоматонами, что бы потом нанести свой сокрушительный удар 🚬💀
