"We destroyed the fabricators! Let's get the hell out of here!" The trees:

Alexa when owner isn't home :

"This isn't your average, everyday communism. This is... advanced communism."

"I knew these things couldn't feel emotion. That's what The handbook said. But when I looked into the eyes of one of these damn things. All I saw was hate, hate for the entire human species. No sooner did I see that. Did it call in a goddamn armada. And it was at that moment I knew, these weren't just robots"

This is scary as fuck to hear when I'm creeping through the jungles of Malevalon Creek.

This robot sympathizer, right here Democracy officer.

Cadet facing bots for the first time - "Wait, so they chant and have a considerable degree of intelligence? Does that mean they can maybe feel pain, too?" Me- *Readying sickle to fire* god, i hope so

Fellow Helldivers! They've returned! And they've taken Cyberstan, this is not a drill! I repeat, they've taken Cyberstan

i cant tell you how immersed i was when i heard this for the first time

The fact they sing adds such an uneasy vibe to the Bots. Like the bugs are just bugs right? Sure they've been unleashed on rebel human colonies intentionally, or selectively bred to be bigger, tougher and scarier, but they're just animals. The bots, by virtue of singing, aren't just soulless machines. They're their own faction, with ideals and hopes and dreams worth singing about. Honestly makes them so much more compelling as enemies.

“This patriotic boot just kicked your ass back to the scrapyard” -John Helldiver

“Cyberstan. Can’t keep her down.” Well…… it pains me to say……. The Automatons were right………..

I hear this, and I know I’ve heard them call me “human scum” in fire fights

Every helldiver knows the sound of economic redistribution that can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop... ever, until managed democracy is dead.

Talking some mad shit for having no planets

what's crazy is the idea that they're using mechanical sounds to make their own speech, and if you didn't see the lyrics or hear them well enough, you would think they're just robot sounds

WE AINT MAKING IT OUT OF MALEVOLON CREEK WITH THIS ONE 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Keep chanting, clanker. Cooldown on my Orbital Barrage is almost at zero.

Cyborgs were a communistic faction that left Super Earth and were broken free from their lies. They embraced machienry and cybernetics for many reasons, though I suspect it was a knee jerk reaction to break away from Super Earth's puritan stance on how humanity is supposed to be. The Automatons are far more robotic, but with the marching songs, the same themes and colors, as well as their human corpse displays, I would suspect that this is a Cyborg faction that broke away from the main group when Super Earth was winning and was just building up the entire time. They go along with the theme of 'hans are we zhe baddies?' in the first game. Same with the bugs since they were actually quite sentient nad happy to not fuck around until Super Earth discovered they could make oil out of the bugs.

Bot sympathizer here, I just love the idea so much. I like how they take the simple concept of terminators and introduce a level of humanity and agency that makes them worth caring about narratively. It’s also cool to have some overt implication of super earth being a lil goober, cus the bugs and their twist are cool, but you can understand why’d they’d be a constant fight considering how envolved in industry they are, but the bots are literally viet cong with in game propaganda to throw you off and keep you immersively brainwashed into thinking their just Terminators. It’s also cool just thinking if the bots have always been into being cyborgs or if they were cyborgs out of necessity to persist against super earth in any meaningful way. I know it’s a long shot but I would pay to see a bot comic on a world helldivers haven’t hit yet.

when you have nightmares of trees speaking binary

The fact that WRII actually wrote a full-on chant, despite knowing most people hear little-to-none of it, shows how dedicated Arrowhead is to this game.

“It’s awfully quiet on the creek today…” The trees:

My first time ever playing Helldivers 2 was on Malevelon Creek. I had no idea how to play the game, and the second after I get my machine gun, I heard this. I heard the patrol before I saw it. I hid, prone amongst some rocks. They spotted me, and the next ten minutes were filled with bullets, lasers, grenades, and oil.

As a player, I love the sound design. As a SUPER CITIZEN, THIS IS FLAG FORSAKEN AUDIO HURTING MY LIBERTY-BLESSED EARS!

someone mentioned that the written automaton language was in fact swedish, but with changed characters for each letter in the swedish alphabet. i wonder if they made actual spoken phrases for the automatons, or just gibberish?

Officer with all due respect the automatons are clearly advancing towards Cyberstan and I’ve personally heard them chanting about it while they march. The enemy is both speaking and clearly demonstrating their intentions.

Well they convinced me. Glory to Cyberstan!

I was so scared when I realized they were singing. I thought they were mindless monsters. This suggests otherwise. They are monsters that know what they are doing.

I remember the first time I fought in Automaton territory solo and heard a patrol sing. The intimidation I felt when they suddenly stopped after hearing me accidentally drop off a small rock while sneaking...

I love that these guys have feelings. They sing for morale. They display Helldiver remains to intimidate and frighten, because they understand those concepts. They send us impassioned communications. It's way more powerful narratively than them just being Terminators.

ChatGPT if it got access to the whole internet for less than 2 minutes:

i was crawling around in a solo blitz mission on Malevolon Creek, i was legitimately terrified because i could constantly hear the patrols getting closer and i couldn't see where or how far they were through the trees. never doing that again for as long as i live

In case anyone is curious, iirc the actual lore behind the automatons is that they’re fighting out of revenge for the enslavement of the cyborgs from the first game on cyberstan, so this is an army of cyborg abolitionists probably chanting about how they’re gonna burn down every inch of super earth territory until they have justice.

I always advise my team to avoid partols But when i hear them say this i just can't let it slide

Heart steal we kill, get up , on to war Heart steal we kill, get up , on to war Cyber-stan, can’t keep her down Legion go, on to dawn Cy-ber-Stan ,can’t keep her down Get back up, on to dawn That’s what I’m hearing any body else?

I'm convinced that the bots' voice lines is not random gibberish. Every time I hear them mid-mission, I can't resist the urge to go prone and listen in on them. I'd guess it's Swedish that reversed and distorted or something like that.

Automaton talking to a Necron: "You know what the difference is between you and me?" *Automaton begins to drop sick beats* Automaton: "I make this look good."

What's funny about these dudes is that they have a weird, almost Scottish accent

why is this so fucking good

In the Creek that’s the only way to know they are coming. I took my headset off to talk to my mom all the while my eyes glued to my monitor looking everywhere. I put my headset back on and I could hear that God forsaken chant as if the were right on top of me. I couldn’t see those fucks but they could see me. Lasers started flying out of the trees.

I once saw a Hulk in a march with this song playing... The incredibly deep voice was terrifying to hear, and know that at least one of my squadmates was going to die.... We had no orbital railcannon. No heavy weapons available... It was not a good time.

This is actually quite frightening

The bots are wiped out. The trees no longer scream in binary The oil is spilled The mission The nightmares They're finally over

“I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees. Why the fuck are they speaking Binary?”

"Ok let's get out we only got 1 more reinforcement" The trees:

Amazing music to listen too, all Helldivers should listen to this instead of fighting the Automatons.

Me: *refuses to share the pack of gum in class* The classroom: 0:00

The first time I heard this I thought I had totally imagined it. I was running solo on Draupnir I belive, had just come across a bot turbo turret base and hit it with a combined Laser and Eagle Cluster bomb strike. As I sift through the wreckage for samples, I discover a literal altar covered in dismembered Super Earth citizens. I stood completely stunned, I couldnt even really understand, and then I heard this marching chant on the wind as patrols were converging on the ruined base. I realized the Bots arent just putting Helldivers on pikes as a tactic. These murderous iron clad demons enjoy tourturing and dismembering human beings for sport. They arent Artifical Intelligence. They are Abominable Intelligence.

Nice and all, but all I'm hearing is "I'm afraid of fridge magnets"

I love the fact that a lot of the lyrics quite literally have double meanings.

I swear bro Wilbert Roget is a brilliant composer, I’m currently arranging “A Cup of Liber-Tea for my school’s orchestra to play! Really excited to be able to preach democracy and liberty through my means of art!

WE'RE SEIZING THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION WITH THIS BANGER 🗣️🗣️

The chanting in this part 0:17 sounds like some Cyborg voicelines from helldivers 1 but very glitchy and distorted to fit the automaton aesthetic. Very eerie

The air fills the sickening taste of metal and smoke, the sound of thunder stomping against the very ground. *This, is where liberty comes to die.*

Me and the pc gang on our way to Sony headquarters after they announced the account linking update

I’m not a bot sympathiser, I’m listening to this so I can pick it out better against the sounds of the creek

One of the coolest things about the automatons is that they feel like an actual army

I do think we are unto something; they are saying multiple different things at the same time, cluttering the words by two or more words going at the exact same time, so thats propably why its so hard to identify the lyrics, which is so cool

-just wants to freed their enslaved masters and friends on their home planet cyberstan from human -will leave humans alone once they reached that goal -but until then, theres only war Prob one of the most badass motives from every faction

Each line is actually a paragraph because they communicate quickly.

can you like double or triple that up so it sounds like a massive army chanting?

Wow very moving. ⬆➡⬇⬇⬇

Certified Malevelon Creek classic

I'm someone who loves the design of games, not just the gameplay itself. This was a little detail the devs did NOT have to add, but it gives so much more flavor to the universe. It also really helps to establish the bots' sentience, and the organized threat that they are, when combined

this universe is so fucking cool man, hope the devs can keep up with all the new players and keep things fun

Automatons are no longer in our galaxy threatening our way of life...

The helldivers community after Sony's decision

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine. Your kind cling to your flesh, as though it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved, for the Machine is immortal…

Taking the term Abominable Intelligence to a new extreme

instead of "iron will" or "get up", does anyone else hear "blood - oil"? It sounds way closer to me and goes well with the previous line

They're just missing the stahlhelms.

My grandma heard me play this (due to a very specific meme) and it was the first time i ever saw her smile so cheerfully

I keep hearing "KEEP 'EM DOWN!"

The bots may be gone now, but we’ll never forget how much we heard this chant during our struggle to take back the Creek. No song will weaken democracy, even if it sounds badass. News Flash: They’re back!? Time to fight through the chants again…

After weeks of serving democracy, i received a ban from sony, now i wanna join these guys

For soulless robots they sure got a beat going.

Imagine infiltrating Automaton homeland and this just constantly plays while you run around towering red structures.

automatons are the real threat since they can shoot back 💀

These makes more sense than what most versions ive seen say

i’m so obsessed with them. they’re singing

The actual lyrics are this (as confirmed by devs); Heart. Steel. We. Kill. Get. Up. Onto War Heart. Steel. We. Kill. Get. Up. Onto War. Cyberstan. Can't keep her down. Legion Go. A New Dawn. Cyberstan. Can't keep her down. Get Back Up. A New Dawn.

The Automatons put the Hell in Helldivers.

My new discord intro sound

Plz feel free to correct me or tell me what you hear. I'd like to know actually as we all hear and interpret things differently. There is nothing wrong with that. It's a little hard to understand due to the binaric voice filter they have. I spent more time both in game and listening to this video than what was probably needed but this is what I believe they are saying clear as day. Not just because it's what I want to hear or whatever else. But I believe the cadence of the song goes as follows... And yes they're speaking English. The speech is just distorted because ya know A.I. possibly sentient robots on a warpath of revenge to free their creators the cyborgs from the first Helldivers whom as of Helldivers 2 are currently on Cyberstein working in the mines and undergoing "re-education". First part 1. On! (Commissar) 2. To! (Everyone Else) 3. On! (Commissar) 4. To! (Everyone Else) 5. On! (Commissar) 6. To! (Everyone Else) 7. On... (Commissar) 8. TO WAR! (All in unison) Second Part 1. On! (Commissar) 2. To! (Everyone Else) 3. On! (Commissar) 4. To! (Everyone Else) 5. On! (Commissar) 6. To! (Everyone Else) 7. On... (Commissar) 8. TO WAR! (All in unison) Third Part 1. Cy-Ber-Stein! (Commissar) 2. Can't keep her down! (Commissar) 3. Get back up! (Commissar) 4. On... (Commissar) 5. TO WAR! (All in Unison) Fourth Part 1. Cy-Ber-Stein! (Commissar) 2. Can't keep her down! (Commissar) 3. Get back up! (Commissar) 4. On... (Commissar) 5. TO WAR! (All in Unison)

Scares the fuck out of me that they're that determined.

And here we go again...

i swear the bots aren't quite speaking gibberish. i swear i've heard one call me "human scum" before trying to fire a rocket at me.

Possible Translation: “One! Two!” “One! Two!” “One! Two!” “One, two, three!” “One! Two!” “One! Two!” “One! Two!” “One, two, three!” “Heart of steel!” “Can’t keep us down!” “Marching on!” “On to war!” “Heart of steel!” “Can’t keep us down!” “Marching on!” “On to war!”

we did it

“The mission, the nightmares….its over”

I know the head of the patrol has its own “lyrics” if you can call it that, and I know the followers of the patrol have their own part as well, i’ve hear smaller patrols be quieter since there aren’t as many of the secondary “singers”, so if you could release the leader’s part and the followers’ part, that’d be nice Also Tyranical Beats to pledge your loyalty and servitude to

Even if Helldivers doesn't have a ton of lore; the robots having a marching chant makes them so much more immersive and interesting. You're not fighting dumb machines; you're fighting the threat that took down a sector and killed 10 million Helldivers to do it

Is it just me or does this sound like it can easily be sampled into a dubstep set and have one of the hardest bass drops ever 😂

You weren’t there man…you weren’t on the Creek when it fell…

Thank you Helldiver for risking your life spying on robots to take this audio sample, now we can identify robots more easily through sound.

Lyrics: (2 Times) HEART - STEEL WE - KILL BACK - UP ON TO WAR HEART OF STEEL CAN'T KEEP HER DOWN MARCHING DOWN ON TO WAR CYBERSTAN CAN'T KEEP HER DOWN GET BACK UP ON TO WAR

im no robot sympathizer, but you have to agree that super earth needs one of these!

This was so unsettling the first time I heard it. Was playing solo, it was a night mission. This started playing from a distance and sounded closer and closer while I was trying to sneakily load a SEAF artillery, so I had no visual on the bots. Scary stuff
