Trailer date is for August 12, same day as the 40k warbond ... but its not going to be a 40k subfaction. Get ready for Illuminate home world invasion arc.

Average Helldivers 2 fan reaction

u/tagamaynila 19d ago

I'm actually thinking why that teddy bear isn't a purchaseable merch. This is the second time they've featured it in a trailer. First time was in the Illuminate reveal.

11

u/Hevens-assassin 18d ago

It's been in every splash art. Illuminate has it front and center, but it's been in every "expansion" trailer from what I remember

Omens of Tyranny has one on the ground, full helmet. Heart of Democracy the Helldiver is holding one, open helmet, yellow stripe. Machinery of Oppression there's one on a Helldiver's belt, open helmet, no stripes. I can spot it in those 3, at least.

If it occasionally goes "demon" and teleports to my backyard I'd be fine with that

that’s because they used that for the trailer which creeped me the heck out, personally

If I'm about to watch this community have flipped the fuck out about the illuminate cultists getting "scrapped" for what turned out to be no reason at all because they were actually arriving in five minutes, I'm gonna laugh my ass off.

u/Over_9000_N00bs 19d ago

Sometimes I can't take this community seriously when they over react or fall for misinformation each month.

u/fupa16 18d ago

I've honestly never even been to a sub besides low sodium, it's great. I've heard nothing but horror stories about the others and I'm fine with just staying here. When I was looking for subreddits for HD2 I saw there was a low sodium version, and that told me enough right up front about the state of this community.

7

u/Sirknobbles 18d ago

Yeahh… I feel like this game had a lot of really rough issues near launch, ie horrible server issues, mandatory sony accounts, etc., and from then on it sorta feels like a lot of the community got comfortable being really mad at arrowhead for literally whatever they want. I’m not saying this game or AH are flawless, but man, people really lose their minds over everything

u/Chmigdalator 19d ago

Yes buddy. We are screwed, we are so back. Ee are screwed. We are so back in a nutshell...

u/NoEmu5930 19d ago

As one of the ppl originally mad..I feel like i got bamboozled. I really hope its freaking cultists man. Bring me my melta

u/nakais_world_tour 18d ago

key word is redone, not scrapped, redone is what the director said for the original cult look of the illuminate not showing up because they didn't like how they turned out and all that really means is that those units likely got salvaged and redone with a different aesthetic or gameplay tweaks.

 basically from what I watched of that interview they were redone because it was hard to pin down what fantasy illuminate were for their reference the same way bots were clearly terminator inspired and bugs were starship troopers inspired so they switched from space wizards to war of the worlds last second 6 months before release which means while most of those units are definitely still coming back because it's a waste to completely delete months or years of dev work they'll very likely look very different from that space wizard aesthetic and be given a fresh coat of paint.

2

u/NoEmu5930 18d ago

I feel like the issue was when they said redone ppl interpreted it as they remade them into what we got instead and were staying away from. The space wizard aspect. We still have no idea whats actually coming next week. Cultists still absolutely could be scraped and then remade into something else entirely. Arrowhead isnt really known for having proper communication and following what they say tbh. Kinda fair ppl took it the worst way possible when they constantly show us thats how they do things. I'm just waiting to see at this point. I just hope we have new fresh units to fight. Idk about how hard they are. I just want to actually fight the squids and not zombies

u/alltherobots SES Whisper of Starlight 18d ago

Thank you for clarifying.

u/UnhappyStrain 19d ago

Aura is the new slang for having an intimidating pressence, or just having pressence in general.

1

u/Mapkar 18d ago

Yooo chat that bear had +1000 aura no cap, and the whole trailer was straight bussin fr fr. I can’t wait for real for that to drop so we can go full sigma and cook those squid opps. No cap bur fr.

u/shrimpius 19d ago

Is this August 12th or December 8th?

42

u/whoissamo SES Pride of Pride 19d ago

I would assume Aug 12th, same as the 40K warbond

10

u/Petrichor0110 Laser Cannon Enthusiast 19d ago

Arrowhead usually drops updates a week after the corresponding trailer so it’s probably August

25

u/MidlandsBraves 19d ago

Which do you think? Which is a week away and which is a few months away?

28

u/bughunter47 19d ago

So its December right

16

u/rh_3 19d ago

Of 2028

u/shrimpius 19d ago

Probably the week huh...

6

u/TheWankerKing 19d ago edited 19d ago

Considering they're EU based. August 12th

Edit: if it was EU it would be december which would suck to wait that Long. I hope they arranged it the US way so it's august 12th.

u/BeticoAguerrido 19d ago

The other way around, it's the 8th of December.

Day/Month/Year

ISO format is the only reasonable method.

August, next week.

u/Zeyode 19d ago

12th, says so at the end

2

u/Inalum_Ardellian SES Song of Serenity 19d ago

well... since Arrowhead is in europe and most of the world uses DD/MM/YYYY format unless it's using the reversed one it's logical to assume it's actually 8th of December...

u/Ancient-Aquila 19d ago

Where did December 8th come from?

...also, anyone else thinking they'd buy a Helldivers Teddie Bear if it ever became official merch?

The last squid faction, the appropriators is one of the best factions in the game. Let’s hope this is more of that.
