Helldivers 2 Automaton Combat Music (Game Accurate) 

Warning: you are in range of enemy artillery

In 60 years my grandkids will wonder why their grandpa is terrified of that little red infrared light on the corner of the TV. Well, this is why.

I love how the automaton music has a distinctly soviet anthem kind of vibe to it.

When you drop in hot right next to a stratagem jammer and a gunship fabricator…. That was a painful experience

The Terminids sound chaotic, and primal, I think it's the choice of percussion. They also have very flowy and chaotic string instrumentation that still seems very grand and impactful, making it seem like every tiny bug could be the one you forget to shoot and kills you. As well, the low brass create an intimidating sound, like the idea of the endless horde. Overall, their theme sounds like a jumpy, chaotic battle with a tide of bombastic insects that dont stop coming and are constantly in your face. The automotons are more structured and bombastic, seeming like an anthem of hate. The percussion sounds impactful and consistent, the brass sounds large and intimidating, and the tecni bits that come in here and there compliment the more orchestral bits well, imitating the automoton's contrasting industrial machinery and sci-fi lasers theme, plus it adds auditory intrigue. As well, the fades sound like hydraulic pistons sliding, and the drums sound like metal clashing occasionally. As well, the ambient bits sound very echoey and ethereal. I also notice some of the times the strings sound like a car's engine revving up, or like a swarm of bees. Overall, their theme sounds like facing a swarm of lasers shot by an intimidating, hateful army of indistrial mechanical soviets.

I'm pretty much a bot only player at this point. I love getting into firefight with a bunch of Psycho's who randomly alternate between being "unable to hit the broad side of a barn", and "20 consecutive headshots". Every time I introduce a friend to the game, we hot-drop on a bot base on hard or worse. It's glorious every damn time.

I thought the bots wouldn't be too bad. When I heard this soundtrack for the first time after fighting against the Terminds for hours, I got humbled real quick.

This is IMO the best rendition of the theme on RU-vid. It has a consistent growth and pacing of the different audio cues. I especially love how it builds up to the crescendo bit by bit. Like the soviet industrialization. Save the kids of Vernen Wells. Eradicate the Automatons!

The little flourish at 4:25 tickles my little Clone Wars brain every time

The bot soundtrack is the main reason why I mainly play bot missions now.

I never do bot missions without the Anti-materiel rifle. That damn AMR can just about deal with anything the robots throw at you, save for Factory striders.

I like how the automaton theme sounds like a Star Wars OST

4:20 easily my favorite part. It makes me feel fucking emotion Man. It’s the equivalent of the song saying “WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST DO????!???????” As you see countless dropships showing up on you. Dude that shit tears me the fuck up. Am I having thought crimes???!?

Can't wait for the music to switch up suddenly in a bot mission and hear "warning: unidentified hostiles in your area"

Ah yes.. Everyone's gangsta until *the trees start speaking in binary*

I can almost hear the dropship engines whirring when the music rises.

Great job with the transition! Loved this version!🫡

I really like the Automaton music on desert planets.

Me frantically reloading the Autocannon as a hulk gets closer

Genuinely surprised we havent seen a mashup of the automaton combat theme and the Cabal Stomp from Destiny

In cyberstan socioeconomic situation it was well suited for the natives a Communism-Socialist ideal due to the fact it’s a working place planet full of mines and resources for Super Earth. That’s why the Soviet like vibes. How good a society can be with those ideal in a environment where the only thing is work in mines and industrial places. That’s why the cyborgs rebellion in the first galactic war happened, it targeted capitalism ideal of super earth, that conventionally it was contra-productive within the cyborg society. After the downfall of the cyborgs, they left hidden pre programmed factories of robots in several planets of the galaxy that would continue their fight and liberate them from Super earth attack to their native way of living. My lil theory, which come on, makes a bit sense

This soundtrack makes me want to liberate my microwave

Ost of bugs: Sounds disgusting Ost of robots: GODDAMN ITS SPACE EMPIRE RUN

best track in the game tbh

>drop in the center of a hot zone >land on bot fabricator instantly destroying the adjacent jammer Bots could never

5:20

the automaton soundtrack is by far the better out of the two factions we have as of now

DROPSHIP!

AUTOMATON come here...

POV: You Are in Range of Enemy Artillery

would be cool to see how you made it. :)

Now from Levels 1-5 yes, very accurate but from levels 6-9… no… fr it’s just this 3:48-5:56 over and over again

DROPSHIPS

I take it you extracted the files from the game? How to do it?

The Confederacy of Independent Systems if they weren’t fucking around:

I had to run away from an overzealous squadmate when I accidentally held the voicechat key (it's bound to my mouse side button) while inadvertently humming that tune. On a side note, is this, like, an in-game recording or there is some way to rip the music out of the game?

No choir tho

лучше оригинала. там не хватает этого эпичного вступления

Is the soundtrack affected by what enemies are nearby, and can we get a transcript of what each section is for?

This is not actually game accurate. You're missing some tracks for sure.

I was fighting automatons right aftter training
