Personal theory: another reason why Helldivers are frozen right after training is to make them go into combat while they are still highly motivated and vigorous from said training. The drill sargeant tells you that you are "literally invincible", hands you a heavy machine gun, and shows you how to use ship-to-ground artillery strikes. Who wouldn't be highly eager to kick some bugs and bots after that? By freezing the fresh Helldivers, they can maintain this blissfully unaware rookie excitement right up until they are deployed.

Resource intensity and purpose.

Helldivers are frozen because it's easier to not upkeep your troops indefinitely until you need to throw them into battle. just think about it within the context of the war. You have a galaxy spanning war that covers thousands of planets at any given time, with the possibility of tens of thousands more that could be invaded without notice. You need hundreds of millions of troops to cover such a vast warfront, so what better way to have your reserves in standby than by having them literally at the warfront awaiting to be deployed. So how do you upkeep so many troops? They all need beds, food, entertainment and other commodities, right? Just put them on stasis indefinitely until the very moment that you need them. You'd be saving an infinite amount of logistical resources by doing this and still have them ready to be deployed whenever needed. From the Helldiver's perspective, you finish all your training, you graduate and next thing you know you're about to be sent into battle. All that training, knowledge, and protocols are still fresh in your memory; after all, from your perspective, you just finished the final exam 5 minutes ago. You know exactly what to do, and when to do it. You didn't have to drill or train anything extra on your way to the front nor while you were on standby waiting for orders. You finish your training, walk into a fridge, get thawed out 100s of lightyears away, go through a small briefing on your objective, maybe grab a healthy nutrient bar on your way to the pod, and dive into battle.

13:03 the hole/chip in the back of the helmet is probably a tracker because when you go out of the mission area, you get a very generous 10 seconds to go back to the mission area before you get orbital strikes called on you- with no beacons. How do i know this? Well, a traitorous squadmate of mine tried to bail!
once i got blasted by those ground spores because an automaton shot it, launching me out of the map, only for me to get back up and get blasted again by more spores, launching me even further from the map. let's just say i didn't make it out cuz i was deemed a traitor
My first bile titan kill came from an act of treachery on my part. I accidently ran too far out the map and then got slowed by a plant. I didnt make it back in time and the bombardment started, but I just kept running around the titan and the ordinance meant for me ended up killing it instead...then it got me too.
i wouldnt say its a tracker for sure since it could be anywhere else on the suit but i guess it would make sense if the ingame ui tracks people from the head position (not sure if it does)
I believe the helldivers in cryo are linked into a neurological network that allows them to experience whatever the current ship commander is doing. This is why they are all the same rank, this is why you only get 20 per mission, 5 per member of the strike team, (that is the number hooked up and ready to assume command) this is why it takes so long to get one more reinforcement after depleting your stock of 20 (they have to manually upload the combat data to another soldier)
That and why the naming scheme is (while a bit creative) limiting because if you have no set list of names, it would be hard to find similar names in which could be a base for the neuro link to use.
Helldivers are definitely not clones. The ship module updates say that your family has to pay for you to have more ammo in the field for stratagem weapons.
ahahaha, these are really funny man, i can tell you put a lot of time in these stories man. i know the ministry of truth would not lie to us though, good stories! you should become a movie writer one day, cheers!
A bit of a correction: The "transport bugs" was only in the CGI animated series Roughnecks. In the book, the Psudoarachnids (All the film adaptations drop the "Psudo" prefix from the name) build starships using advanced industry, and honeycomb their planets with subterranean highways, factories, and advanced infrastructure. Their warrior caste are always armed with a set of high energy beam lasers capable of melting through tank armor with just a few seconds of exposure while being covered in cybernetically implanted alloy armor that protects from most small-arms calibers, and they have a space-navy of FTL capable warships that is on par with the Federation's own technology. At no point in the book does anyone even try to imply the bugs are dumb, actually emphasizing the point that the animalistic, bestial behavior of individual bugs is a quality of their hive-mind intelligence, allowing them to "spend warriors like we spend bullets" and should not ever be allowed to fool you into underestimating their capacity for strategic thinking and tactical brilliance, engaging in flaking maneuvers, deploying decoys, and launching feint attacks using waves of disguised Worker castes posing as warriors to distract and pull away defending troops. To quote the book, "Animals don't build starships." and the Federation expends massive resources and intelligence efforts just trying to develop an understanding of their psychology sufficient to open communication with them to negotiate a peaceful end to the war. The bugs never answer any of these efforts, however, with only very limited success by gathering intel through a 3rd party of methane breathing semi-humanoid aliens who manage to maintain limited communications with the bugs, which is where the bulk of the Federation's intel on the psudoarachnid psychology and culture comes from, including the intel on the "brain bug" caste that function as command and control centers for the hive mind.
@@Sorain1Apparently the original books weren’t satire of fascism at all, and we were supposed to actually, genuinely like the hyper-militarized society depicted.
@@blam320 Yep, Heinlein (the author) had a hard on for the military, and wrote the book in a "the world would be better this way" type of spiel. I can't remember exactly, but he wrote it in 1959 as a reply to some idea he wasn't fond of at the time, I believe it was some anti-war sentiments? Or anti-military, I can't recall.
@@MadmansPlayland @blam320 Heinlein actually had a trilogy of unconventional, avant-garde societies in some of his best known novels. In Starship Troopers, he paints a picture of a "successful" fascist society, in the original definition (see Mussolini's "What is Fascism", 1932). Stranger in a Strange land takes a wild turn into a hippie story about peace, free love, and space communism (and other fantastic powers) made possible by learning the language of an advanced and very alien species. Finally, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress sharply contrasts with both of the others and presents a rebellious moon with a naturally libertarian society (but not consciously so) plotting and fighting for its independence from Earth, with the most powerful protagonist advancing the ideals of anarchism. All 3 of them are worth a read. The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is the best ;)
Speaking out of character, it's ironic because all the "threats" that face Super-Earth are just blowback from their own actions. They oppressed the Cyborg separatists, who took up arms, and after losing, creating the Automatons, who are an even greater self-replicating threat with no sense of humanity left. They selectively bred the Terminids to be stronger and more aggressive (also probably mutated them if leaks are to be believed). Super-Earth also drove out the Illuminate, who originally came in peace, and will probably come back angrier with better weapons.
That’s part of the irony of fascism The extra power the government gets is severely corrupt by nature, which leads to incompetence. To help hide that and keep the system running there ALWAYS needs to be a enemy, and often the system makes them both on purpose and accident. It’s only mentioned by crewmates, but some bugs showed up on rebel worlds. Perfectly reasonable to assume Super Earth did it to remove a potential threat, and make more 3-710 (which comes from bugs). And bugs are far more dangerous than the rebels ever were, especially after the termicide backfired. Love how the devs kept that part of the joke, and in a more interesting way than starship troopers.
Esteemed Democracy Officer, as a proud citizen of Super Earth, I cannot idly stand by while our nation's honor is threatened by treachery! I bring to your attention an individual accused of the gravest crime against our beloved homeland. I implore you to swiftly address this matter with the utmost vigilance and patriotism. Super Earth must remain strong and united against all who dare to betray our noble cause!
I have a slight worry about how the galactic map is made... In Helldiver 1, the factions got perfect space for each one, but in the second game, there is actually space for a 4th one...
The 3 factions are similar to Starcraft factions. Having a fourth is indeed intriguing. But which trope would it be? A mirror faction of humans would be terrifying, being able to call in stratagems and the like.
I remember my first time playing the game and coming across a forklift, seeing the “E to interact” button and thinking “oh my god you can drive the forklifts” only to be disappointed by just a text box
As a Warhammer fan, Super Earth is light and rather chill. The bots burning people in cages, decapitating people and impaling the corpses while screaming "give me your skull". How can anyone even say the Automatons are the good guys?
@@declicitous1763eh I mean the only possibly good side is illuminate, and even in HD1 it was a defense against them. No one is native to the planets we go on, everyone is a destructive force colonizing planets
My guess is that the bugs were used to wipe out a rebellion, with helldivers and termicide then used to quell the bug infestation. With the termicide inevitably failing, this is when super earth loses control of the situation.
My personal explanation as to why the unfrozen helldivers are the same rank and grow with our skill in the game is that the frozen helldivers are more or less body swaps. They are frozen, augmented with neurochips that transpose the memories of prior helldivers into a new vessel that can command and be as effective as the prior. Also probably cheaper than cloning and allows for growth if one of them learns or does something unique and effective.
There are no perks that level up with the diver, just improved bonuses from the super destroyer. When one helldiver dies, a new one inherits the ship along with all its bonuses. Wouldn't be very democratic to throw them away.
@@jmicjmThis is the canonical answer if you read the legal contract. Upon death, anything the Helldiver owned is considered property of the destroyer they came from and is given to the next helldiver unfrozen.
or that the grenades go deep enough into the lava that it amplifies the explosion massively. IRL example is how many Anti ship missiles explode underwater to benifit from a massive increase in how concussive the blast is
We’ve all been attack by Berserkers. If you listen, you can hear them cry out like they’re in pain, seemingly forced to attack fellow Super Earth Helldivers…
I like to think that the Automatons were made by a smaller group of Cyborgs who escaped into exile, and began to mass-produce Automatons so they could get revenge. I think the human brain thing is impossible, since Automatons seem to be produced very quickly, they even have those Fabricators.
Yeah I agree with your theory. the human brain theory would work for cyborgs since they are literally half robot/ human, but like you said these are just machines likely programmed to be the exact opposite of super earth's culture which also explains why they say they've obliterated inequality, that would be easy to do when every one of those robots are programmed for the same thing which is to kill all humans.
Yeah and they are mass-produced too much. Who knows, maybe Commissars have old human brains? Since they're like the commanders, but I doubt it.@@streetrider1001
Finally I found a comment phrasing my thought listening to this. This guy is saying every sentence exactly the same "myseriously." Closing with every word on each sentence on the same "mysterious" tone rolling out the last few letterssssss. Ive never heard someone speak like this. My head is spinning, im out.
Yeah I wanted to comment basically the same thing but with some constructive criticism, as I think the video content and direction is great, just the narration/speech audio quality can be improved. - speak clearly into the mic and try not to drift in and drift out of sentences. - does sound mixing play a part in the soft beginning and ending of the sentences? - make sure voice is much higher than background audio.
Ha! And I was thinking I’m the only one feeling like this :)) yeah…. It’s some sort of over acting I guess ;) funny interesting video anyway. PS. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s an AI voice on some strange settings :)
Automatons may be digitalized people, as they can be heard saying also "they gave us new life", so maybe they are in a way akin to Necrons, fully mechanical with the mind of a person within.
Question on the Freezing of the Helldivers. I get needing to freeze them for interstellar travel - no need for food, water, bathrooms, etc. But why are you frozen when you travel between two ships right next to one another? If you join up with a group and leave that group to return to your own ship, you get the same unfreezing cutscene. Why would you need cryogenic freezing just to be moved back to your own ship?
"Its up to the helldivers, an elite squad of soldiers" The helldivers: *consistently shoots their other squad mates for whispering anything other than democracy*
Think of it from the enemies perspective. 1-4 strange guys drop in and throw a bunch of ordinance around. You kill them at the cost of 10s or even 100s of lives. Then 1-4 guys drop in...
Imagine spending your whole life in a freezer just to get dropped in to your death because some dude threw down your beacon in the middle of the incoming hoard.
Honestly the fact that an iceberg like this exists is what makes a game so great, the fact that everything on the iceberg is a possibility in hell divers leaves every player guessing at what they might find behind the scenes and or what the next step for the game is
8:18 based on some dialogue, it's through spores. They send millions out into empty space, and just a few landing on a planet is enough to start an entire infestation. They dig down, and breed
There is a tip that the automatons will shoot less accurately if being shot because they are programmed that way or... Maybe their human brain is just afraid to die?
What? No, it’s because they work off of sensory data just like everything else, and suppressive fire causes severe disruption. They are just as brave as helldivers, but with shittier aim (which doesn’t make much sense but they do fight like three seconds after being built so eh) and a severe lack of air support outside of bot drops
One of the theories regarding Helldivers being clones I saw that I REALLY like is that all Helldivers are a unique individual. The training is just a basic aptitude test before they're packaged up and sent to a super destroyer. The super destroyer IS the Helldiver, uploaded into one of the frozen individuals to puppet them. That's why you have the same rank, same resources, and get better - you learn from your own mistakes because you are the ship, not the person.
Here's a thought, contractually, every person on freeze in the ship inherits the equipment and rank. But how do they know how to use the equipment, if they're all fresh recruits sleeping and had no prior clearance to use as practice? My theory is that, while we got the FTL engine from the Illuminate, and got the 710 from the Terminids, we probably stole tech from the cyborgs. Most likely, brain to tech interface technology, and it might be a shared memory or gestalt system for us and every sleeper to take over. Think of it, we're aware of our deaths but a new and waiting Helldiver is woken and tactically aware of the present situation just as they drop in. That was us/we leaving the dying connection of the old body and focusing on the new one dropping in
I just realized the Npc in helldivers is the same voice actor as Tyreen from Borderlands 3. Phenomenal video btw got this game a few days ago I'm hooked.
I like the clone theory because it solves a slight problem in the fact that you need to be screened and permitted to have kids yet the helldivers are actively losing tens of millions
keep in mind this is a heavily militarized society with billions of people across an entire galaxy, colonizing probably hundreds of planets. im sure theres no shortage of meat shields
@@infectedpotato117 that's a good point, I suppose it skews my viewpoint a little that the only places we've been fighting have only been rinkydink outposts
my theory is that, well, only the most patriotic citizens are going to be allowed to reproduce. cant have families raising dissidents that wont wanna grow up to be helldivers; that is detrimental to the war effort and not very democratic.
i see a shovel, my first instinct is not 'when get i meme as death korps'. My first thought is 'When do I get to rocket jump and cry out 'SCREAMING EAGLES!' as I bash a giant bug in the face with it midair'
The 710 resource is a connecting tissue to the first game. In that, the player fought The Illuminate and won. From that was garnered a vast trove of technological improvements, amongst them better FTL travel. These drives need a special gas for fuel. The same gas can be farmed from the decomposed bodies of the Terminids, which is the reason the Super Earth government has been farming them across the galaxy. The ones you fight in Helldivers 2 are the ones who have escaped their farms.
Good stuff here, but I'm not sold on the brain harvest theory. Why stitch that head back together after removing the brain if you're gonna leave the rest of the body dismembered?
"Shipmaster gives MOTIVATION to helldivers." *Me and the boys getting back from a mission that we should have not lived through.* *Shipmaster makes the most outrageous comment instantly sparking the urge to airlock her*
The automatons do speak but it's hard to hear over all the shots and bombs. I even heard one say "die human scum" , "Help me", " I can't stop", "fight!"
Brilliant video! I am like 80 hours into this game and have noticed many things mentioned here. Cant wait to see how things go with it. Best game in years especially with friends!
As for the clone theory, the voicelines from the npc's kind of disprove it. Every time you enter the destroyer for the first time as a new helldiver, the npc's on the ship will greet you with a message like, "Congratulations on finishing basic training". At first, I thought this was just an oversight and they didn't bother to remove the line after a while of playing. I experimented with it though, and when I get through a mission without a death I have never heard the message.
I honestly hope as time goes on super earth changes in some big event, there is definitely going to be a 4th enemy faction as time goes on, but how neat would it be if an allied faction pops up? one thats being chased by the 4th faction and allies with super earth and in return brings new tech, it would also be neat is once there are 3 or 4 factions you would be able to find them fighting each other over sectors they control that are next to each other.
I love the unapologetic satire of this game It's basically "Murica Fuck Yeah #1"... on steroids. Sadly, not everyone seems to understand the underlying jingoism, prpaganda and political narratives used to manufacture our consent as citizens.
This is great! I absolutely love the History Channel ‘Ancient Aliens’ tone you used throughout the video. Very conspiratorial - without settling on any absolutes. Putting lots of ‘bugs’ in lots of Helldivers ears. More to come I’m sure!!

Funny thing is, in my friend group here in Germany we noticed the whole 710=Oil thing really quickly because there was a German TV skid in nineties with a guy walking into a workshop, pretending to know a lot about cars and wanting to buy a new 710er cap, which was just a the oil filler cap turned upside down
Funniest German joke:
Isn't it Öl in German
@@AC-hj9tv yeah, but cars aren't produced with local text on the maintenance covers..
13:03 the hole/chip in the back of the helmet is probably a tracker because when you go out of the mission area, you get a very generous 10 seconds to go back to the mission area before you get orbital strikes called on you- with no beacons. How do i know this? Well, a traitorous squadmate of mine tried to bail!
once i got blasted by those ground spores because an automaton shot it, launching me out of the map, only for me to get back up and get blasted again by more spores, launching me even further from the map. let's just say i didn't make it out cuz i was deemed a traitor
On purposely left the mission area once to drag a bile titan and etc to die with me.
@@infectedpotato117 That's what they all say... TRAITOR!
My first bile titan kill came from an act of treachery on my part. I accidently ran too far out the map and then got slowed by a plant. I didnt make it back in time and the bombardment started, but I just kept running around the titan and the ordinance meant for me ended up killing it instead...then it got me too.
i wouldnt say its a tracker for sure since it could be anywhere else on the suit but i guess it would make sense if the ingame ui tracks people from the head position (not sure if it does)
we’re going to the re-education camp with this one 🔥
710 is an old mechanic's joke.
"Where do I put the oil in?"
"Look for a cap that has 710 on it."
I believe the helldivers in cryo are linked into a neurological network that allows them to experience whatever the current ship commander is doing. This is why they are all the same rank, this is why you only get 20 per mission, 5 per member of the strike team, (that is the number hooked up and ready to assume command) this is why it takes so long to get one more reinforcement after depleting your stock of 20 (they have to manually upload the combat data to another soldier)
Most, if not all the helmets, have a port in the back of the head, at the base, similar to the matrix ports imo
yes, though I was going for a more altered carbon vibe. @@nunull6427
@@nunull6427he covered that
That and why the naming scheme is (while a bit creative) limiting because if you have no set list of names, it would be hard to find similar names in which could be a base for the neuro link to use.
Helldivers are definitely not clones. The ship module updates say that your family has to pay for you to have more ammo in the field for stratagem weapons.
Nice touch with the Cyberpunk theme when it comes to body augmentation and modification.
ahahaha, these are really funny man, i can tell you put a lot of time in these stories man. i know the ministry of truth would not lie to us though, good stories! you should become a movie writer one day, cheers!
A bit of a correction: The "transport bugs" was only in the CGI animated series Roughnecks. In the book, the Psudoarachnids (All the film adaptations drop the "Psudo" prefix from the name) build starships using advanced industry, and honeycomb their planets with subterranean highways, factories, and advanced infrastructure. Their warrior caste are always armed with a set of high energy beam lasers capable of melting through tank armor with just a few seconds of exposure while being covered in cybernetically implanted alloy armor that protects from most small-arms calibers, and they have a space-navy of FTL capable warships that is on par with the Federation's own technology. At no point in the book does anyone even try to imply the bugs are dumb, actually emphasizing the point that the animalistic, bestial behavior of individual bugs is a quality of their hive-mind intelligence, allowing them to "spend warriors like we spend bullets" and should not ever be allowed to fool you into underestimating their capacity for strategic thinking and tactical brilliance, engaging in flaking maneuvers, deploying decoys, and launching feint attacks using waves of disguised Worker castes posing as warriors to distract and pull away defending troops. To quote the book, "Animals don't build starships." and the Federation expends massive resources and intelligence efforts just trying to develop an understanding of their psychology sufficient to open communication with them to negotiate a peaceful end to the war. The bugs never answer any of these efforts, however, with only very limited success by gathering intel through a 3rd party of methane breathing semi-humanoid aliens who manage to maintain limited communications with the bugs, which is where the bulk of the Federation's intel on the psudoarachnid psychology and culture comes from, including the intel on the "brain bug" caste that function as command and control centers for the hive mind.
Thanks for this correction! Good explanation and great learning! :)
Yup. The film series should have been it's own stand alone title, so we could get an actual adaptation.
@@Sorain1Apparently the original books weren’t satire of fascism at all, and we were supposed to actually, genuinely like the hyper-militarized society depicted.
@@blam320 Yep, Heinlein (the author) had a hard on for the military, and wrote the book in a "the world would be better this way" type of spiel. I can't remember exactly, but he wrote it in 1959 as a reply to some idea he wasn't fond of at the time, I believe it was some anti-war sentiments? Or anti-military, I can't recall.
@@MadmansPlayland @blam320 Heinlein actually had a trilogy of unconventional, avant-garde societies in some of his best known novels. In Starship Troopers, he paints a picture of a "successful" fascist society, in the original definition (see Mussolini's "What is Fascism", 1932). Stranger in a Strange land takes a wild turn into a hippie story about peace, free love, and space communism (and other fantastic powers) made possible by learning the language of an advanced and very alien species. Finally, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress sharply contrasts with both of the others and presents a rebellious moon with a naturally libertarian society (but not consciously so) plotting and fighting for its independence from Earth, with the most powerful protagonist advancing the ideals of anarchism. All 3 of them are worth a read. The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is the best ;)
Speaking out of character, it's ironic because all the "threats" that face Super-Earth are just blowback from their own actions. They oppressed the Cyborg separatists, who took up arms, and after losing, creating the Automatons, who are an even greater self-replicating threat with no sense of humanity left. They selectively bred the Terminids to be stronger and more aggressive (also probably mutated them if leaks are to be believed). Super-Earth also drove out the Illuminate, who originally came in peace, and will probably come back angrier with better weapons.
AND THEY WILL BE CRUSHED BY THE HUMAN MIGHT
This comment is under investigation for treason.
That’s part of the irony of fascism
The extra power the government gets is severely corrupt by nature, which leads to incompetence.
To help hide that and keep the system running there ALWAYS needs to be a enemy, and often the system makes them both on purpose and accident.
It’s only mentioned by crewmates, but some bugs showed up on rebel worlds. Perfectly reasonable to assume Super Earth did it to remove a potential threat, and make more 3-710 (which comes from bugs).
And bugs are far more dangerous than the rebels ever were, especially after the termicide backfired.
Love how the devs kept that part of the joke, and in a more interesting way than starship troopers.

I have a slight worry about how the galactic map is made... In Helldiver 1, the factions got perfect space for each one, but in the second game, there is actually space for a 4th one...
You're right....
The 3 factions are similar to Starcraft factions. Having a fourth is indeed intriguing. But which trope would it be? A mirror faction of humans would be terrifying, being able to call in stratagems and the like.
Zombified versions of all the dead helldivers and staff on each planet could be pretty cool.

As a Warhammer fan, Super Earth is light and rather chill. The bots burning people in cages, decapitating people and impaling the corpses while screaming "give me your skull". How can anyone even say the Automatons are the good guys?
There are no good guys in Helldivers, only the most militarily powerful side
As a Warhammer fan since 7th I can say that Warhammer 40k is overrated.
@@declicitous1763eh I mean the only possibly good side is illuminate, and even in HD1 it was a defense against them. No one is native to the planets we go on, everyone is a destructive force colonizing planets
Im a Krieg fan. So the blatant disregard for self preservation and recklessly charging into battle aspects are what got me in
I'm wondering if the automatons are creations of super earth as a sort of false flag. Make them as cartoonishly evil as possible. Perfect propaganda.
I love how this game is just a mashup of literally every sci-fi
My guess is that the bugs were used to wipe out a rebellion, with helldivers and termicide then used to quell the bug infestation. With the termicide inevitably failing, this is when super earth loses control of the situation.
**this comment has been removed by the super earth ministry of defense for investigation of illuminate sympathy**
My personal explanation as to why the unfrozen helldivers are the same rank and grow with our skill in the game is that the frozen helldivers are more or less body swaps. They are frozen, augmented with neurochips that transpose the memories of prior helldivers into a new vessel that can command and be as effective as the prior.
Also probably cheaper than cloning and allows for growth if one of them learns or does something unique and effective.
There are no perks that level up with the diver, just improved bonuses from the super destroyer. When one helldiver dies, a new one inherits the ship along with all its bonuses. Wouldn't be very democratic to throw them away.
@@jmicjmThis is the canonical answer if you read the legal contract. Upon death, anything the Helldiver owned is considered property of the destroyer they came from and is given to the next helldiver unfrozen.
Nothing about the hell divers change, just the equipment. Hence no need for any nerochips just a new body.
25:26 this is lava. it’s stated that helldivers need to watch out for lava in one of the tooltips you see when loading into a level.
I always thought that warning was for a future level where we'd see liquid lava in the place of water
They didn't teach me that lava exploded but if it's in the training manual it must be true!
id reckon that the lava causes the rock to offgas whatever explosive chemicals+oxygen from the rock needed to make that explosion
or that the grenades go deep enough into the lava that it amplifies the explosion massively. IRL example is how many Anti ship missiles explode underwater to benifit from a massive increase in how concussive the blast is
Thats just what super earth want you to believe

Helldivers has the award of being the only game which I have paid for in-game currency for. Hats off to the devs.
We’ve all been attack by Berserkers. If you listen, you can hear them cry out like they’re in pain, seemingly forced to attack fellow Super Earth Helldivers…
Joel and the writing team watching all these conspiracy theories with popcorn in hand 😂
I like to think that the Automatons were made by a smaller group of Cyborgs who escaped into exile, and began to mass-produce Automatons so they could get revenge.
I think the human brain thing is impossible, since Automatons seem to be produced very quickly, they even have those Fabricators.
Yeah I agree with your theory. the human brain theory would work for cyborgs since they are literally half robot/ human, but like you said these are just machines likely programmed to be the exact opposite of super earth's culture which also explains why they say they've obliterated inequality, that would be easy to do when every one of those robots are programmed for the same thing which is to kill all humans.
Yeah and they are mass-produced too much. Who knows, maybe Commissars have old human brains? Since they're like the commanders, but I doubt it.@@streetrider1001
Ima report this to the ministry of truth it’s illegal to to try and find the origin of the automatons

@@lars4422 I made it to 8:47 and have to give up
Yeah I wanted to comment basically the same thing but with some constructive criticism, as I think the video content and direction is great, just the narration/speech audio quality can be improved.
- speak clearly into the mic and try not to drift in and drift out of sentences.
- does sound mixing play a part in the soft beginning and ending of the sentences?
- make sure voice is much higher than background audio.
Interesting video, but his cadence is cooking me.
The narration style is so annoying

PS. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s an AI voice on some strange settings :)
Automatons may be digitalized people, as they can be heard saying also "they gave us new life", so maybe they are in a way akin to Necrons, fully mechanical with the mind of a person within.
Or Servitors....or Servo Skulls....
Question on the Freezing of the Helldivers. I get needing to freeze them for interstellar travel - no need for food, water, bathrooms, etc. But why are you frozen when you travel between two ships right next to one another?
If you join up with a group and leave that group to return to your own ship, you get the same unfreezing cutscene. Why would you need cryogenic freezing just to be moved back to your own ship?
I played helldiver's one for a moment and I read that terminids rapidly decompose into oil on death.
As a democracy evaluator I recommend watching the first 36 seconds of the video and than immediately shutting it off
I'am suprised about not mentioning terminid corpses on tien kwan. There were a lot of them during fight for mechs. It was very peculiar
How many of them were?
"Its up to the helldivers, an elite squad of soldiers"
The helldivers: *consistently shoots their other squad mates for whispering anything other than democracy*
As an elite helldiver does
Yes, just as _Paranoia_ taught us.
Well yea
Think of it from the enemies perspective. 1-4 strange guys drop in and throw a bunch of ordinance around. You kill them at the cost of 10s or even 100s of lives. Then 1-4 guys drop in...
@@Someone74735 In-universe the Helldivers are elite, I think.
Imagine spending your whole life in a freezer just to get dropped in to your death because some dude threw down your beacon in the middle of the incoming hoard.
Honestly the fact that an iceberg like this exists is what makes a game so great, the fact that everything on the iceberg is a possibility in hell divers leaves every player guessing at what they might find behind the scenes and or what the next step for the game is
8:18 based on some dialogue, it's through spores. They send millions out into empty space, and just a few landing on a planet is enough to start an entire infestation. They dig down, and breed
space is far too big for non ftl travel to be done at the speed the terminids travel
@@carbongreen3498the terminids are literally made of FTL juice
@@BisexualPlagueDoctorYes, meaning it's very unlikely they're using a non-ftl method of travel
I mean, sure, if you trust the dialog.
@@BisexualPlagueDoctorbro is a well-respected terminid expert. Can confirm
There is a tip that the automatons will shoot less accurately if being shot because they are programmed that way or... Maybe their human brain is just afraid to die?
What? No, it’s because they work off of sensory data just like everything else, and suppressive fire causes severe disruption.
They are just as brave as helldivers, but with shittier aim (which doesn’t make much sense but they do fight like three seconds after being built so eh) and a severe lack of air support outside of bot drops

Thanks for the video, wonderfully put together!
“Do I think Super Earth belongs in Malevolent Creek? Umm idk I belong in Malevolent Creek, I’ll tell you that”
Your choice of background music for this is fantastic!
One of the theories regarding Helldivers being clones I saw that I REALLY like is that all Helldivers are a unique individual. The training is just a basic aptitude test before they're packaged up and sent to a super destroyer. The super destroyer IS the Helldiver, uploaded into one of the frozen individuals to puppet them. That's why you have the same rank, same resources, and get better - you learn from your own mistakes because you are the ship, not the person.
The music choice for this video is spot on. Vigil for the ME reference and Water Temple theme for introducing the Illuminate, who are aquatic aliens
Here's a thought, contractually, every person on freeze in the ship inherits the equipment and rank. But how do they know how to use the equipment, if they're all fresh recruits sleeping and had no prior clearance to use as practice?
My theory is that, while we got the FTL engine from the Illuminate, and got the 710 from the Terminids, we probably stole tech from the cyborgs. Most likely, brain to tech interface technology, and it might be a shared memory or gestalt system for us and every sleeper to take over. Think of it, we're aware of our deaths but a new and waiting Helldiver is woken and tactically aware of the present situation just as they drop in. That was us/we leaving the dying connection of the old body and focusing on the new one dropping in
hmmmm.
I wonder if the illuminate AI just jumped ship and took over human society.
The (Super Earth) AI was made in the 21st century in lore so probably not

I just realized the Npc in helldivers is the same voice actor as Tyreen from Borderlands 3. Phenomenal video btw got this game a few days ago I'm hooked.
I like the clone theory because it solves a slight problem in the fact that you need to be screened and permitted to have kids yet the helldivers are actively losing tens of millions
keep in mind this is a heavily militarized society with billions of people across an entire galaxy, colonizing probably hundreds of planets. im sure theres no shortage of meat shields
@@infectedpotato117 that's a good point, I suppose it skews my viewpoint a little that the only places we've been fighting have only been rinkydink outposts
my theory is that, well, only the most patriotic citizens are going to be allowed to reproduce. cant have families raising dissidents that wont wanna grow up to be helldivers; that is detrimental to the war effort and not very democratic.
but those go hand-in-hand. a society with an overpopulation problem would have no issues dropping 20 people at a time to their immediate deaths.

Dude, the ambience in this video is insane btw. Mass Effect, Twilight Princess, well done man
Hello? Democracy Officer? This one, right here
The 710 resource is a connecting tissue to the first game. In that, the player fought The Illuminate and won. From that was garnered a vast trove of technological improvements, amongst them better FTL travel. These drives need a special gas for fuel. The same gas can be farmed from the decomposed bodies of the Terminids, which is the reason the Super Earth government has been farming them across the galaxy. The ones you fight in Helldivers 2 are the ones who have escaped their farms.
Good stuff here, but I'm not sold on the brain harvest theory. Why stitch that head back together after removing the brain if you're gonna leave the rest of the body dismembered?
This might just be the best helldivers 2 video I’ve seen yet

Very based comment
I can't unhear it. Goddamn it.
As for the clone theory, the voicelines from the npc's kind of disprove it. Every time you enter the destroyer for the first time as a new helldiver, the npc's on the ship will greet you with a message like, "Congratulations on finishing basic training". At first, I thought this was just an oversight and they didn't bother to remove the line after a while of playing. I experimented with it though, and when I get through a mission without a death I have never heard the message.
"be careful who you share it with"
Shares it with the whole Internet
I honestly hope as time goes on super earth changes in some big event, there is definitely going to be a 4th enemy faction as time goes on, but how neat would it be if an allied faction pops up? one thats being chased by the 4th faction and allies with super earth and in return brings new tech, it would also be neat is once there are 3 or 4 factions you would be able to find them fighting each other over sectors they control that are next to each other.
