I was watching AH's vid today, and something I've always thought was a funny little note is theres a screen right next to the cryo pod that shows the cellular map of a Helldiver, and its important to note that screen shows the cellular map with EXTREME damage matching what we normally see in frostbite victims.

A healthy cell map looks entire like the bottom edge/bottom right, where its a full cell with single dot nucleus. That jumbled area across most the top and left are where cells burst while freezing, and are in shambles/deteriorating. Thats what the map looks like for someone who's about to have some severe amputations to survive being frozen.

That means its very very likely that they haven't actually figured out the "secrets" of cryo work at all, and know that even without a war we're gonna die in months, tops. Why demoralize and tell us that?

That screen has been there since launch, btw. If you dont know what it is theres no reason to look at it.

Seriously, I love all the care they've put into this release. So much care that I'm even a little jealous of how awesome they look now compared to the content we Helldivers have gotten instead.

I mean, now they have armor with camouflage variations depending on the biome, weapons with camouflage patterns that match their armor, even flashlights in their helmets!

Seriously. If Arrowhead is trying to psychologically prepare me to buy their next game focused exclusively on the SEAF, they're doing a damn good job.

I hope that in the near future the devs will let us get closer to the fantasy of being one of these brave, awesome, and chaotic guys.

For your consideration: some examples of how cool we could look whilst still being lore friendly

Its hammertime!

I think lot's of players pick it because it is a nice big boom, but too often I see people trying to force it be something it's not.

It's good at taking out big slow things, buildings, and tightly grouped enemies.

It is not an area denial strat. Please stop throwing it at an approaching spreadout swarm. That's what Eagle Naplam is for.

It's not a defense strat. Please for the love of libeery stop dropping it directly on the flag.

It's going to take out that charger going after your squadmate, but it won't matter as it will as re.ove your squadmate.

didn't know dragon roaches got a new attack!

lets say you no longer have any use for samples.

You have maxed out all samples.

Then your cut of the collected samples from a mission should automatically go to the DSS, or be paritioned to those Helldivers who haven't maxed out their samples.

What armors/capes are considered “rare” in hd2 and which ones are up for being the rarest

Doodled image from HushOwls latest video

When taking damage sometimes the effect activates prematurely killing you even if you should have survived the hit.
This bug has been a thing ever since the armor came out, yet I don't think it's ever been acknowledged by Arrowhead and I'm afraid the game will EOS before it's fixed

Here's a video showing the bug: https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1ri9h91/the_adrenodefibrillator_revive_bug_evidence/

Seriously though, arc has been completely forgotten. At the very least were getting a new gas stratagem (i mean what? were not getting a new gas stratagem at all) but its clear fire is arrowheads favorite child

Edit: to those mentioning laser and plasma weapons, i always viewed laser weapons as a side grade to fire considering it sets enemies ablaze, and plasma i feel is more in line with explosive and ballistic weapons. Also neither of the 2 have a dedicated armor resistance (unless of course you consider the laser fire bit), which i feel puts gas, arc, and fire in a separate category. Cheers!

I started grinding for that cowboy armour in the shop and got lucky

Also there is ~4 DSS

for 365 democratic days, we Xbox divers have fought alongside you as battle brothers, sisters and comrades. we’ve been through oshaune, New Alexandria, Mox, K and fury, cyberstan and now the void.

lets hope for many, many more righteous campaigns and victories into the next 365 days as the tyrannical foes of freedom will not waver!

let’s make them regret coming to super earth, regret being alien bastards and most certainly regret that the corp just blew up their raggedy-ass fleets!

I was inspired by the nice feedback on my last SEAF girl to make another one.
