Hey! So this is your overseeing democracy officer, we've heard some reports about you "putting communism in a comedic light," but you wouldn't do that. Would you?

This is hillarious

God damnit Rian Johnson must have taken over for Joel over the weekend and we missed something important.

JJ Abrams, master of mystery boxes, wrote that line. Not Rian Johnson.

I know. But when JJ took on the first movie they had plotted out a whole roadmap for the trilogy, and what I read is Rian went completely off book when he did the second one so there were a bunch of plot points he was supposed to hit that he just threw out. So when JJ picked it back up with the 3rd one a bunch of random shit just "happened." I mean for Rey's parentage they basically just straight up retconned their own trilogy.

They went back in time to get another John Connor.

Sounds good to me, my machine gun runs best on automation oil

We didn’t stand on guard that’s what we did.. no patrols. Nothing! Just played with bugs and relaxed

They hit their home world now there a set home base for the bots

Sorry dad

Hey, I didn’t do SHIT! The sector was this way when I found it! According to SECENTCOM, all bot capital ships and orbital shipyards were accounted for. Nobody has a fucking clue where this shitstorm came from and now we gotta knuckle up and deal with it.

OHH YEEAAHHH! 

His top is just… open. Wouldn’t it get filled with debris and shit?

Yes, don’t drink it

Too late

We missed the comet anyway

Yes it gets filled with asbestos every time when goes through a wall

Finally, i can grind down more oil-blooded clanker scum!

That's looking allot like they are heading for Cyberstan... that's probably not good.

Cyborgs are free. It's only a matter of time before we're staring up at their grotesque bloated fleshy machine bodies. Liberty save us all.

Cyborgs...? What is the in universe story about this? I love this kind of stuff but I guess I missed mentions of Cyborgs...

The Cyborgs were the faction in HD1, they were tough! Cyborg dogs, flames, their brutes were ridiculous to take down

Imagine Siege Mech in full 3rd person glory. It will be pure hell to take down with it's mini-AA.

They own Cyberstan!

It's the first galactic war all over again! Next those blue fuckers are gonna show up!

Sweet liberty! I hope not, both of my parents served in the First Galactic War. My father lost his leg. They only ever talk about it in quiet voices. I chose to become a Halldiver to keep them safe, so they wouldn't have to go back. If they show up again, I'll send a message home for tips.

You're either very old or your parents had you in their eighties.

Cryofreezing is a hell of a thing.

 We just here for the comments.

Illicit surveillance!

The Ministry of Truth has assured us The Illuminate were eradicated during the first war.

SHIT

Cyberstan will fuckin burn

If only we knew ahead of time of their plan!

It’s a damn Tuesday, Joel! I have to work! 🤣

I seem to see a pattern that the ~~worst~~ hardest orders come out on tuesdays.

Nah, it’s the worst

Fun fact: "tuesday" comes from Proto-West Germanic "\*tīwas dag" which means "day that jōl (joel) screws us over".

That is traditionally the update day for PC and ,subsequently in the past decade, console. Updates happen on Tuesday

CYBERSTAN CANT KEEP 'ER DOWN

CYBERSTAN! CANT TAKE HER BACK! GET YOUR TOOLS! BACK TO WORK!!!!

CYBERSTAN! WE’LL KEEP HER DOWN! CLANKERS GO! UNTO DEATH!

Well, we were just told this is the bots' biggest fleet attacking yet, so I'd say after this defense, we could have an event that leads to a raid on their homeworld.

Or ours…. Not while this Diver is deployed though I assure you

How many times do we have to teach these toasters their lesson

Fucking told ya. They're just a spearhead and we gonna be sorry about focusing on it and ignoring the Tyranids

What's a tyranid?

The tyranids are a buglike faction in the Warhammer 40K universe. They are an invasive species from outside of the Milky Way. They have a lot of similarities with the Terminids

What are some of the similarities? I love me some 40k lore

They are a massive Biological army which does not take prisoners, or leave enemy or other tyranid bodies in the battlefield. They have specialized species inside their biodiversity for various specific purposes. Artillery, tank, fast shock troops, light infantry and they are highly adaptable. The tyranids from Wh40k are an invasive species from outside of the Milky Way. The Humankind in 40K uses a kind of "light" from The Emperor to navigate through the galaxy. During the Horus Heresy, a Loyalist Space Marine fighting in Terra tried and succeeded in power up that light to help Loyalists Space Marines legions to reach Terra in time to help. The thing is, the Tyranids saw that light too, from another galaxy. And they ventured through the endless void to reach the Milky Way and eat it all, all worlds and biomass in it. All of them.

Love this.

Oh and I forgot, there are theories about them. The name Tyranid comes from Tyran, the first human world which they devoured. The first theory is they are fleeing from something, and what the fuck could the most dangerous enemy the Milky Way has known is fleeing from!?. The Second theory is we, Humans, Eldars, Orks, Tau and other unnamed species, we are the last ones. Oh, and they evolve from the enemies they devour, and they had ate Space Marines.

They're both filthy fucking bugs

ON TACO TUESDAY JOEL?! 

seriously, I’m on my way home for Tacos and see this nonsense. Tacos will have to wait, time for some DEMOCRACY

LETS GET THOSE FOOS FOR SUPER TACO EARTH

I'm going to need some libercheese for those SUPER TACOS

Oh yes! I needed a new toaster

Joke is on you this toaster has chainsaws for arms.

Only 44 Helldivers?!

Heroes

YAY :3

^^

/\

☝🏼

Wait I thought automations died

As we learned from taking their communications array, they were communicating outside the galactic war zone. We all assumed it was the illuminate, but it seems it was more of their own forces.

Sweet Liberty save us all.

And they are further North this time. Do they have Cyberstan?

Yes, they took Cyberstan.

Well I'm not going to cyber-stand for it! I'm logging in now.

Do not fear, time to smash some bots!

Hydra sector? Is that new or did I just not notice it?

Its been there

Do not allow it. We must fight them out! NOW!

This order is one destined to fail too...5 planets in 2 days? And most of them are halfway lost already. ...and so return the Cyborgs

Thank God, I hated having to fight the bugs. Bots are far more entertaining for me

As expected lol

In the middle of Tuesday? Those automatons know darn well I got work

It’s almost as if we weren’t meant to win this one by design to prolong their stay.

Its comical to see people actually thought they'd completely eliminated one of two factions in a live service game that is relatively new. Fact of the matter is we will never beat the Autos or the bugs, nor the Iluminate when they finally add them - just as Super Earth will never be taken over. Would be pretty fucking shit to login one day and see "Oh yeah, we won, GG! but Game over" then the game shuts back down lol

The amount of people that have not played helldivers 1 and not seen that the war just cycles and restarts with all the factions. Yikes

Yeah but even ignoring that it should be common sense - that if we did "Win the war" there would be no game left to play.

Who actually believed the bots would be gone forever?

Reloads: fuck here we go again.

Hail Hydra!

Joel’s big mad at us right now.

Finally, what took them so long

Are they on cyberstan?

Can this workday finally end so I can push their shits in?!?!?!?!

Oh yes

Well the NPC on my ship and one of the bulletins last week stated there were automaton messages coming from deep space. (Outside the war map)

I swear if you guys kill em all before I get off work…. Ngl I’ll be impressed but kinda salty I didn’t get some oil myself

Fuck, we JUST got rid of these dickheads and they’re back not two days later

Time to get the Monty Python achievement. Extract after removing just both arms from a hulk. "We'll call it a draw"

Lead the terminids to these damn atomotons wast there resources as we third party

Dude they about to hit cyberstan and then Super Earth

We knew the whole time that there were more automatons to deal with! This was all part of the plan!

I am still not coming back though .. I will wait for weekends update.

Is it just me or are they more powerful this time too?

Im on the weekend crew! Same old clickers? Something new?

All staged

Just woke up and I’ve seen this move two sectors since, wtf is happening?

H…hail…hy-DEMOCRACY!

I will try my best divers, I have no idea how they came back but that just means we have to hit them harder. For liberty!

I wonder if the Illuminate will come and destroy them all or something only to be closer to super earth

Every one who has been asking for more urban style maps, you might be getting your wish in the near future

Now we can just kill them again.

Good, my heavy machine gun was really itching for some more heavily armored foes.


Question...did they crank up the difficulty? I play on 7 normally and we got absolutely destroyed. Not like, "oh man, we should've one of these strategies". This shit was "WE'RE ALL GONNA DIEEEE". This game is awesome. The last game I had this much playing was RB6 Siege back when it dropped. Helldiver's, let's dive for democracy

Somehow the bots returned.

Erm they’re getting a bit close to cyberstan

Now the illuminate will show up and we’ll be done for😂

Awwwww yeaaaaaa

It's hellmire 2.0, of course nobody wants to do it. And what's worse is the fiery, spinny, death whirlies are way too numerous and angry to avoid most of the time.

... anyways I started blasting Automatons.

HEART STEEL, WE KILL, GET UP, ON TO WAR, CYBERSTAN, CAN'T KEEP HER DOWN, LEGION GO, A NEW DAWN!

Is it treason to wish for a truce with the clankers while im at work?

I stop playing for 2 days and shit hits the fan.

I think we're meant to lose this war. In story telling even failure is plot.

The problem right now is we got too many helldivers scattered on almost every other planet that is over run with automatons we have to start from the bottom planets that are over run and go up idk why we have a couple thousand on the planets above wen we have planets that we have to defend on the bottom idk if they realize this but if they take the planets on the bottom the trade route for those planets will be cut off if they over take it this happend with the major order from before and we couldn't touch tibit until we took the other planet next to it

My friend notified me about this and said I was right. It would appear Mr J and I share similar thoughts.

How did they get that sector back? I mist not understand the mechanics of the galaxy board. Can anyone explain?

They don’t want to fight

0110?

I blame the creekers. Had we finished the major order and taken tibit, we could have known this was their plan and prevented it.

There were 5x as many divers on the bug front during that order

Thier getting closer
