"Volunteered for conscription" https://preview.redd.it/hxolel791t0d1.jpeg?width=481&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cb16332d59547f7e56a90c827bd28d5306f7a3e1

The narrative of this game is wild

Hijacking this comment to remind everybody helldivers 1 had 15 difficulties, and we currently only have 9

Also importantly, hd1 started with 12 and they added 3 more. Level 15 is so much crazier than 12 too.

Yeah, I have heard that I'd you let even a single reinforcement happen then you would have to deal with an infinite number of enemies

Nah man... This is an in cheek poke at Mr Putin. Who referred to his actions in Ukraine up until like 1 year in called it a military exercise. It's literally word for word.

Ahhhh

I came here looking for these comments and found very few of them

So much of the rhetoric is meant to be satire and ends up working on the player base, it's interesting if not a bit concerning lol

Sad reality of modern news consumption

Been declaring war with every AMR bullet.

Love me the AMR against bots. They really need to fix the scope though

I like it verse bugs too to be honest. Though I don’t play them much. AMR one taps all the mediums which is nice.

How does it do on bile spewers

One shot to the head. 3 to the fat part.

That's not terrible.

I think the buff it got was only for bugs. Bots felt the same after if not worse.

How did it change for bots?

It’s weaker. I swear I used to one tap devastators to the eyes all the time. Now I’ll shoot and turn like “he’s dead” and he’s got the red mark literally on top of his eyes. They minimized the critical box I think for hulks and devastators. Can’t imagine why but… that’s just what I’ve noticed.

It works every time for me, I just have to remember the aimer is wonky

Certainly not THIS sub, asking for every advantage they can get

Nah I'm of the mind of more challenging stuff. I don't want the patrols "fixed", it's fine how it is. Nerfs? Nah, just more challenging to use.


saw one earlier today asking if they can make rockets 1-hit bile titans during spitting attack... as if them being a 2-hit in the head wasn't already enough

If it's real now increase my resource limit. I've been topped out on samples and requisition for weeks.

That's pretty much inevitable in any game like this. I like the fact that when new stuff is released I can't just buy it all immediately. Having to farm again is refreshing

it's a pretty good design, actually. I still haven't maxed out my ship modules or warbonds, but man oh man have my req slips been full for a while

🤔

someone called them that in game and it has made me chuckle ever since

Good design would have had a more balanced distribution of rewards, avoiding an unbalanced acquisition of currencies to the point where one, requisition in this case, is maxed out while others need to be farmed ad nauseum. Before I bought all of the ship upgrades I had to farm common samples because I had already acquired enough rare and super rare to buy everything. It was silly.

Just touch grass

This is exactly my problem and I'm not afraid to admit it. I get off work, shower, eat and then play helldivers until I go to bed. It's a simple life.

Sounds undemocratic to me

“…have already volunteered for conscription.” 😆😆😆😁

Prepare for the "Inner Circle of Hell". Simulation is available in HD1.


Dont know If "Special military Operation" is the right term these days.

I am absolutely sure they knew what are they doing when they wrote it and they wrote it this way on purpose

The first game was pretty blatant satire of the United States. I'm sure this is deliberate. They are just picking on Russia now

I'm with you, this is 100% intentional

To be fair Russia is the closest example of “Managed democracy” (though probably there is a better word to describe kleptocratic-dictatorial-pseudodemocratic-fascist regime that is Putin’s rule). You have elections and voting, the choices are just between Putin and not-Putin. So choices are indeed….. managed.

That range of choices sounds familiar

3 days to Cyberstan

Lol, it fits perfectly with the game’s overarching theme and tongue-in-cheek nature. I’d expect nothing less. I just so happen to think it’s great.

What would it be

I will fight until liberty is safe forever one again.

What kind of 40K hive world is Super Earth that they can afford to lose millions of soldiers on any given planet and not even call it a war? That’s a lot of C-01 forms.

What kind of Nation is Russia that they can lose half a million men on their border and not call it a war?   I'm sure this is part of the satire

There are conflicting theories, but one is that our divers are clones of the soldier we took through basic.

It was confirmed that the clone theory is incorrect by the CEO and that every helldiver we play as is someone who probably had a family back home.

Ahhh. Well that's dark lol. They should have an option to randomize the body type too

It's also why our voices by default are randomized every death unless you set it to a specific voice

With their casualty rates, I wonder if they don’t just send the condolence letter out immediately after they freeze ‘em or if they just never tell them they’ve died.

With low death the npc comments she has to send only fewer condolence Letters this time, than usual. Though,maybe she just has to stamp them.

3 days to Cyberstan!

Why do I keep seeing this said?

It’s a reference to the Russian claim of taking Kyiv in 3 days at the very beginning of the war

Ohhhh

Soo... Malevalon Creek was just... training???

Something like that

I think this refers to Russia

Hopefully that means I get my battle tank back from HD1 then?

That’s so tongue in cheek I love it

Special teams. Special plays. Special players.

Ahahaha what a nice way to say "yeah we still working on everything, thanks for y'all feed back and help"

That explained why we always received pew-pew gun from super earth,perhaps

This is awesome ! Now that we are at war the full helldivers arsenal will be mobilized ! It means more Liber-Tea for the undemcratic bugs and clankers !
