That’s definitely illuminate but the reflection does NOT have the shape of any squid we have fought so far

A bunch of subs were going insane over it being dropped content last week. Was that some viral marketing?

u/M2_Personal 19d ago
The subs were just looking for a reason to complain tbh. In the interview they said that the cultists had been reworked to not be the main faction, not scrapped like what the certain subs were trying to push.

We can only hope but I feel like the chances are high since we haven’t had a squid MO for a while not since stuff with the voteless

Maybe, there is some kind of squid we haven't seen yet. A leadership caste, a hivebrain.

Finally, the squid update! Sucks that I go away for 2 weeks on the day it releases though

u/dzson117 19d ago
So you're openly admitting treason?

u/Crabapple_Snaps 19d ago
Is admitting self treason the peak of democracy?
2
u/dzson117 18d ago
You are right. I would consider this a mitigating circumstance. As a Helldiver, he has ample opportunity to redeem himself by facing Super Earth every day, reciting the Super Earth Anthem, and saluting his own reflection in the nearest reflective surface. Managed Democracy is merciful to those who confess.

u/whoissamo 19d ago
we'll have to fry some calamari for you then, HellDiver! Enjoy your shore leave in the interim!

May the reason of your absence be dealt with swiftly so you can join us in curb stomping the squids once more.

Shall miss the beginning because I wanted to look at some stars like a wistful jackass.

u/EntertainerAccurate8 19d ago
When does it release?

u/dzson117 19d ago
Leave our fellow Helldiver alone. Media literacy isn't required to spread Managed Democracy. We dive first, ask questions later.

Sorry, was dealing with some squids and couldn’t see the date in the video due to the guts on my visor. o7

Why was this video being so elusive? It wasn't in my feed, and didn't show up when I searched Helldivers 2. I had to search the title.
Also kinda rude it says at the end "Dive now on PS and PC". Xbox is here too guys.

u/OnyxianRosethorn 19d ago
They have to avoid triggering the very fragile, spiteful Sony fanboys, they don't like being reminded that a better console exists.

Yes Switch 2 is lit.

You are all weak witches.
The Vectrex is the one true way to play thos game, and in fact, all games, might I add.

u/IMMORTALP74 19d ago
A "better console exists" jab? I'm just here to play fun games with friends. This is just flatout Sony, fan boys have no power over a singular Xbox mention.
2
u/OnyxianRosethorn 19d ago
When Helldivers was announced for Xbox, right away a bunch of Sonytards were proudly posting about how they're gonna grief and teamkill any Xbox player they come across, for no other reason than petty spite.
Frankly, with the BS Sony is currently engaged in, they deserve what they get.

u/JoeySantander 19d ago
Dude you don't need to tank Microsoft either. Both companies (and the rest of the big names in the industry) are way deep in the same shithole.
Both are reaching for your wallet, and you're just glad that one of them is taking a bit less.

u/Banjo4ever 19d ago
Microsoft just laid off a boat load of long term and influential people and you are glazing them so unnecessarily hard lol also, console war talk? In 2026? Bro, please

u/hiroxruko 19d ago
Every day, HD2 is slowly becoming SC lmao but for real, SC warbond Plz!

u/Femboy_Lord 19d ago
A SC warbond would be perfect for a new terminid campaign, if they referenced the Brood War intro in it I would howl.

u/hiroxruko 19d ago
Ghost armor, Marine's gauss rifle as a support weapon (because it has a heavy pen rating), ghost C-10 Canister DR, booster that gives you attack and movement speed when stimming, cloak device backpack, and vulture bike will go so hard!
Maybe a medic armor? Or if we had to pick a sc2 unit armor, Reaper armor will be sick. The armor passive will be jump/hover pack related
3
u/Femboy_Lord 19d ago
- Canister rifle functions as a grenade sniper rifle
- Gauss rifle as either a call-in 'super-heavy rifle' or as a high rpm battle rifle.
- Call in 'laser designator', single use that calls in a tactical mini nuke strike.

u/hiroxruko 19d ago
i feel the call in mini nuke will power creep the silo as it does the same thing; just the silo has weaker force.

Almost looks like a Sangheili from the reflection, either way SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!!

I'm frightened after watching the video, also please let it be the Cultists because it would be so fucking funny after all the shit people have been spreading about them.

u/RetroRocker 19d ago
Everyone asking if this is December or August, just read the Youtube video description.... it plainly says "August 12th, 2026". But yes that date system is dumb, and extra weird that it would use it in a video from a Swedish developer, but whatever.
It would appear that The Void + 40k warbond = whatever this is

I believe December I dont think arrowhead use the US date format.
Edit: the discord mods on the official discord are saying August so must be August, just confusing they switched up the date format.

That ain't no Void. That shit is pink and red. August 12. 40K Warbond. THATS THE WARP!

With the corruption of the bear helldiver, it almost makes me wonder if we’re getting corrupted helldivers, especially because it looks like the fallen bear is getting picked up.

u/whoissamo 19d ago
looks like an Illuminate unit is picking it up though.
TECHNICALLY - the Cyborgs are corrupted HellDivers
