Helldivers 2 Are Actually Doing The Impossible! Its Growing AGAIN! 

I still want raids. Unlocked at 99% planet clear. Massive undergound automaton research facility/Bug hive complex where you fight through corridors/tunnels taking out minibosses and subobjectives calling down supports/resupplies in special drop pods with drills on the bottom that take longer than normal to burrow to your position. Final boss/objective is an automaton supercomputer/terminid queen. Raid completion clears the planet.

We Will Make Helldivers Great Again

15K on Tarsh right now. Napalm is in our grasps

This is how game studios should work. Most of the big ones, when they see big player counts, will think "Eh, they'll be back. And, if not, we still made money off of this." Arrowhead, on the other hand, went "Okay guys, something went horribly wrong here. We need to take a step back, figure out what went wrong, and fix it."

What more evidence do you need? Nerfs = player base drops to below 10k. Buffs = sky rockets back to 40k, and the buffs aren’t even out yet. Let this be a hard learned lesson, Arrowhead

I'm a bug specialist. I moved to Automatons just to get the orbital fire barrage

*Buffing select weapons to fit the introduction of the powerful Illuminate* Well played Arrowhead. Well played.

I had to go check myself and as of right now, there are approximately 26,700 'divers fighting bugs making no progress and approximately 16,000 on Tarsh with an estimated 19h before liberation. There is about 18h before the order ends.

Currently 15.000+ divers on Tarsh right now AND there a bonus 1% to Liberation progress. It still looks like we're going to miss out on the Napalm by a few hours unless more people show up, but it's still rather impressive we went from just over 1,000 on Tarsh and between 9 and 10,000 on Mastia and suddenly we have over 15,000 on Tarsh so suddenly.

an enemy automaton train would go crazy hard🗣️🔥

We will definitely get the napalm. Tarsh is at 33 percent already and currently has 15k divers on it, push Tarsh because there's no way we are gonna get the MO. Anyone who is bug diving right now is just wasting time. Tarsh is also completely cut off from support planets making it easier to liberate.

The people "upset" by the buffs are the "chaosdivers" that are shitting their pants over these buffs leading to Super Earth crushing their enemies.

Nice to see 40k+ players on again.

The funny part of the "game saving patch" is , rather than an update it's just undoing most nerf they done in the last few months

"More powerful, more volatile, kill your friends" is what ArrowHead should have always been aiming for. It's the fundamental Helldivers experience.

SEAF FORCES ARE HELPING US OUT LET''S GO DIVERS DIVE INTO TARSH!!!!!

Sometimes it's hard being a bot diver, I swear all the new stuff is behind the bots and no one wants to fight them

Bug only players take baths with their parents 😢😂

Thank you all divers for your efforts, I was on both mastia and tarsh to see it liberated. Now we all get to enjoy the orbital napalm. Now I can sleep well.

The napalm barrage is ours. Scrubdivers realized the bug MO is designed for us to not win, woke up and joined us on the bot front. We're annihilating the bots on Tarsh right now

If they listened to the players to begin with it'd never have died, So goes to show, LISTEN TO YOUR PLAYER BASE NOT WHAT YOU WANT

i really want to get a mission where a automaton or illuminate giant ship comes down, and there are multiple large guns around the map that you have to activate to deal large amounts of damage. like a massive map wide bossfight. imagine shooting your support weapons at a giant space ship with your team, thatd be awesome.

Imagine a mission for the bugs: find and kill the stalker queen only on lv 10 difficulty

if people actually thought they were gonna let the game die, they need an IQ test

They need to entertain the idea of changing the eradication mission on the bugs to an actual opening to a superhive (like an anthill) and have it so that the bugs reinforce through the tunnels limiting how much we can use our ships and the whole idea is to set a nuke in a nursery or something like that. Then for the bots give us some trench warfare leading into a giant massive base, the size of at least half a map full of factories that replenish until we take them out.. you can call it a espionage mission or something. Have searchlights panning the trench lines and if they spot you - boom - force multiplier.

Look, the problem was that arrowhead was making these knee-jerk responses to basic data when it needed a more nuanced eye, like a developer should do. Now, they are hamfisting a response in the other direction. We are angry, not because the ship(game) is going in the right direction, but that the captain(arrowhead) is acting like a drunk lunatic. We are in unknown, dangerous waters ONLY because of the captain and his shoddy boat(ancient engine)

We're gonna miss out on the napalm barrage AGAIN!! And it's all the bug players faults

I´m having more fun playing 6 missions on repeat in Space Marine 2 than I had in the past 6 months of helldivers. The patch isn´t out yet so no reason to come back at all.

Adding to that new 3 stage Train mission concept, here's a very similar idea, but for the bugs: Stage 1) Helldivers drop near a giant Super Nest, with the main mission being to defeat the giant worm boss from HD1, with many sub objectives like destroying eggs, extracting larvas and eggs. Helldivers make their way inside the nest. Stage 2) Helldivers face the Worm Boss in the center of the nest, with occasional bug breaches. As with the Train mission, speed is key, because once the boss reaches half health it calls the rest of the nest for reinforcements. Stage 3) The last part is escaping the nest with as many sub objectives completed while massive hordes of bugs spawn to prevent the Divers from escaping.

That train mission idea is so far removed from reality, it's up there with the people who were hoping for or genuinely expecting there to be some kind of space combat. They havent finished working on the 3rd enemy faction yet, they have to keep undoing the work theyve done after every patch, and they obviously lack the technical compitence to fix any of the "known issues" that have been included in the patch notes since the game's launch. In what world do you think they can, will, or should attempt to build a brand new type of gameplay on top of all this?

Bug Divers going to ruin it again. Thanks Guys, we can always count on you for nothing.

I bought the game this weekend because I know it's getting better next patch. Even being nerfed and playing solo, it's really fun

Helldivers has always been great to me. Just just not well managed well in my eyes. Buuuuttttttt i cant wait to see the new update as they are taking a step in a great direction im so freakin excited! 😁

Get on it fellas , no need for worthless medals fighting bugs. A new stratagem is better!

holy shit that train mission idea sounds insanely COOL, i would love to see that

Helldivers 2 has no end game, no pvp, no progression after 25 The game constantly has a clock of how long a person is willing to play It’s just until they get bored of the same gameplay loop of killing enemies and extracting

It seems like there is a large amount of ppl determined to clear out the bugs. I wonder who they are and what the goal is.

The napalm is so deadly against the bugs! Come try it out on tarsh bugdivers please!!!!!

PC. Keep up the good work. Almost Every day I tune in to see the latest Helldivers news.

The missions I really want is a cavern for bugs and mines for the bot. Where you have to do two objectives above ground to set up a nuke style mission to get in the mine/cavern. Then once under ground they’ll be above you coming from all sides. You have no strats only resupply zones and then you either have to set a location by to drop the nuke to take a super nest or bot mines for there production. Think it’s would add a ton of different and interesting game play

I am a hardcore helldiver over 723 hours on helldivers 2 and I love the buffs🎉🎉🎉

So excited to brew some liber-tea on the 17!

I like to think that the devs look to the hellsivers subreddit like happy ants after giving them a drop of sugar water every day

Had a similar idea about guarding a moving platform of nukes to get it to a mega bug hole

gotta love how theres been a minimum of 5k players on pandion 24 and its been at 0% for the entirety of the major order

I dont know about you guys, but i got me and my buddy back the bot front, fighting to get that Napalm Barrage for my fellow brothers! I mean Divers! So excited for the upcoming patch

Another great video in the books. I appreciate it. Also, to all the new helldiver recruites. No apology is ever needed if your not great at game right from the start. Im a 104 and i love meeting lvl 1s to lvl 25. I get the " im sorry getting used to it the game ". In response I tell them that is why im here ill do heavy lifting you just try and get all you can. Dont make ppl feel bad cuz they aren't on your same lvl as you. Encouragement and communication go along way.

Automatons have space ships and ftl travel with high end technology able to transport millions of troops, tanks, and heavy hulks. Players want them to use a train.

Wow! Who would've guessed that not trashing the game over undiscussed development goals and let a "leading product tester" take major decisions without the communities consent and visibly ignoring the negative feedback for over 3 months would bring everyone back! I wouldn't think of that!

I would add a sub-objective to that train mission, hack AA defenses to shoot down reinforcing gunships and dropships.

Been on Tarsh all damn day running with randoms and trying my hardest to get progress. Now we are finally getting progress, the will of Democracy will not be denied!!

I noticed that bit drop ships now die in about 5 auto cannon shots without hitting the engine!

The train concept is ridiculous. How would you use stratagems? How would you call anything in support weapons/resupply/turrets? Would you really want to just run and gun vs bots on a close quarters train without any support? I’m gonna go ahead and say No. you like the idea of something new and fresh but let’s not get crazy.

Train mission sounds like a Red Dead Redemption mission

2 of my friends and I ran bots on helldive all day today to try and do our part to unlock the orbital napalm. Holy shit balls was it chaotic. SUPER fun, VERY pure chaos.

4:13 They're buffing everything, I wonder if it's for something big that's coming. Not just to make the players happy. They added a lot to the. Arc thrower.

It isn't impossible for hd2 to grow its playerbase back. If the devs deliver a fun engaging product then people will come back. Its that simple. Plus other games are always releasing so it would be common to lose a (large) portion of its base. This game is far from being a dead game it will have a good long run with a wave of playerbase coming n going... this game is not concord nor is it anthem.

i want ur next video to have gameplay of you fighting in tarsh so we can see you doing ur part (GET OFF PANDION)

We are currently halfway through Tarsh with over 13,500 divers and 11 hrs estimated to liberation. I hope we can keep up this momentum.

At a little past 10PM, PST on 9/15/24, Tarsh is estimated to be liberated within 5 hours. Thank you botsville fighters!

Thanks for the video and HYPE for the update

Let’s hope they keep going on the right direction

i had the idea to climb a giant mountain, thats all the stage, and fight waves of enemies from everyside while climbing, reaching bigger and bigger outpost , side way turrets, automatons/bugs, and spawns

I'm coming back with my squad on 17th ....hyped asf

Honestly I never expected the arc thrower to get reverted and also buffed like damn they really trying to undo their fuck ups

Train would be amazing it would also need to have orbital strikes dissabled

A railsystem would be an amazing idea, instead of something that intense I'd imagine a massive rail cannon and artillery that goes along the tracks around the map and shoots at helldivers till destroyed, destroying tracks can disabled their progression along the map trapping them allowing for a perfect barrage or HB to destroy it for a side objective for higher missions. A Super Earth train would be awesome too, equip it with a SAM site as well as HMGs and a Mountable Cannon, can be moved around the map to provide support around the tracks on the map. As well as a train station, if they ever decided to add vehicles adding a vehicle armory thats able to be accessed by two helldivers via handpads. Inside have a variety of support weapons ammo supplies and a random vehicle, warthog, APC, or a Bizon tank. Would make exploration more rewarding and fun for players without the need to bring a stratagem for the vehicle and just hope to find a Super Earth Armory somewhere on the map

desva now have cd and limited rocket ammo, that should have been the case since the start, but well it's here now and it's a welcome change

@Cloudplay thank for the video 💯

Make Helldivers 2 Great again 👍

I mean, honestly, Napalm Barrage v. some medals isn't even a question.

The train thing sounds cinematic and all, but it sounds like hell to implement, and like it wouldn't be nearly as fun as people think it will be...

It seems the chaos divers might be satisfied, if what I have heard about their goals being to convince Super Earth to stop cutting costs on weaponry are true.

They gotta start giving more incentives to do bot Mos, like u only get the credits if you play 10 games and succeed on the planet, and on top of that only put daily missions catered the MO

We’re back baby! Freedom Lives!

Crunched some numbers, Tarsh will be under our control in 16 hours

We gonna do it. We'll get the stratagem that is 👌🤣

People complaining are probably those weirdos who are trying to sabotage it for whatever reason

I enjoyed the rock/paper/scissors nature of the weapons in HD2. AT strat weapon? Weak to hordes. Flamethrower? Killed everything short of a Titan, but you could easily kill yourself first, and crap range. Decisions to be made, drawbacks to consider, etc. I just hope they don't go so far as to make that kinda thing meaningless.

Imagine having a Illuminate alien train side objective

WE DID IT WE GOT ORBITAL NAPALM

There was 20-30 k players left out of the 450k+ and they are complaining about difficulty there are difficulties so no reason for them to whine and Iv played difficulty 10 it’s just not fun 100% of the time you’re gonna be ragdolling or just avoiding everything like the plague

well Space Marine 2 runs out of content in 5 minutes and everyone has an itch for fun instead of grind

I was thinking about a train mission exactly like that the other day

oh boy... the "im uninstalling the devs are incompetent" players come crawling back.... that explains why the last few days i have seen the absolute worst players on 10, no idea, no teamwork, no objectives, they just wander around aimlessly and die... why... why do they play 10... just to make us suffer.

It’s almost like the holiday period is over. Who would have f guessed, right? Ffs

I think they should also bring back the payload missions for both factions as I love those kinds of missions

You may be mistaken about the napalm barrage. More hours in the MO than there is on Tarsh.

I'm all four for HD2, got to another country, had to leave my all Helldiving gear (pc and tv with net connection) at home, now am only a watching fan from a bench :D for Democracy and Liber-tea!!! ⬆➡⬇⬇⬇

to believe we not only couldn't take 2 planets with 0 percent pushback from our enemies but that we also needed a plus 1 percent to liberation with SEAF planetary reinforcements and that's only the 1st HALF of the MO and its intricacy. XD we are so cooked on these MO's if this update doesn't surge the numbers.

Not sure what to think of the update. But I'm a nerd and I don't like change in general. I do really like this new positive vibe coming from it.

Will say that this is a game that the developers have listened to the community yes they won’t please everyone but they constantly change the game and do it regularly also join in by making the lore with the community with the latest patch that is still to come out they have done a humorous achievement by changing so much back, I have never seen a developer do even half as much to try and please its player base. Also the new warbond looks awesome even taking fans suggestions ie stim pistol and even if not a flame guard dog a chem thrower one works as well.

we need an arc blitzer buff also

Still need more players so when we go into randoms it’s not a bunch of level 20’s and 40s at best

Tomorow will be glorious

Take a shot every time Cloud says “Absolutely amazing/hilarious” I swear his vocab is like 10 words or less 😒

isn't the plan to buff enemies after the weapon balance, who's hating on buffs?!?!?!

We need new armor with a increased ammo perk

Wish the bug divers would give it a friggin break...

Player count was noticeably higher Friday for me. This morning at 630 am was 21k has been roughly 12k. On ps5 btw.
