Don't mind me, just reviewing historical documentation from the first galactic war. I'm a history buff. No other reason. No other impending, heavily shielded, terrifying reason.

I'm here to learn more after the 'blue beam' sightings on Helldivers 2.

Doing my homework for Democracy

Salute to our veteran! 🫡

Nah we ain’t winning when these come to HD2

the first game had a really cool style to it :o

I’m just here to pay respects to our veterans 🫡✊

I just came here to say; as a veteran of the first galactic war, that my experiences with the Illuminate were few (I spent a good amount of my service deployed to combat Cyborgs) but they were not an enemy to be trifled with. In this footage, 19 Helldiver veterans went in, and only 4 made it out. 15 deaths... May Liberty shine on them. My experience with the Illuminate was on one deployment, as I had to fill in for another diver lost to them. The pods dropped into a jungle planet, and I called in my gear. I was a heavy machine gunner. Not a fancy job, but a necessary support position. Green as grass on the Illuminate front, but usually heavy machine gunners like myself could slag bots like paper, so... In my young mind at that time, the squids ain't nothing. I figured they'd die easy like any bugs or bots. With our gear dropped and my squad loaded, we set off to liberate. Hell... the chaos that unfolded shortly after we set off into the jungle, I don't even remember what we were doing on that damn planet. The squids came outta nowhere, and disappeared just as quick. When you thought you could off them, the damn shields would save them. One of my squad mates tried launching a rocket at those striders, only for the rocket to deflect off the shield and for her to be just as quickly gutted by an invisible foe. I still sometimes think I can see her blood on my old helmet... All I remember from that mission was losing my right leg diving into the pelican, and just mag dumping into thin air as it set off. I don't even know if I hit anything but jungle foliage... I was the only diver out. The Ministry keeps telling everyone the Illuminate are gone... but... Something in these old bones just doesn't think we've seen the last of them. To all new Helldivers, when you watch these patriotic historical archives, you need to pay attention and remember what we sacrificed.

The way they slide into their hellpods is kind of hilarious in this game

Watching film in case they come back

Interesting tactic to use napalm to block their projectiles. Something to keep in mind, certainly.

Oh yes I am most definitely looking forward to fighting them in hell divers 2

Glad to see you back.

Good Lord, i want to see those in Helldivers 2. Im a bit scared tho, the bots are "okay" to deal with when you know how to play but this looks like hell! xD I never really got to play this but this looks hella fun too! Anyways, lovely video! They got liberated for democracy. ❤

I think this enemy will attack like bullet hell

Love that your back but do you still play planetside 2? I've been rewatching all of your previous ones and just wanted something new 😂

5 strats + guns that dont seem nerf, thats the only thing hd2 is missing

When are you going to fight him again in 4k?

Hope helldiver franchise have raid level like Destiny 2.

Just studying old Great War footage

Studying film

You know, i always thought the enemies were kind of cute thanks to the top down aspect. I probably won't feel the same way when these squid f*ckers come to hd2

Yes your back the oblivion arrives and do u still play planetside 2

Besides going 3D it doesn't look like they changed much from the first game!

im starting to think theres a reason everyone uses trident or another laser weapon.... but i don't care im using suppressor forever!

Was this on Xbox?

We will definitely require better weaponry if we are to bring democracy to this menace.😀
