PALS - A Helldivers II Animation 

Come now he had nothing to lose to begin with lol

Those meds do wonders for your mental health AS WELL as physical.

That's how I felt...learning that they're FUCKING BACK

He was totally was withholding a FLOOD of tears. And then he forgot about it (due to massive brain damage).

He may have been frozen in cryo the entire war. Per lore, you’re thawed out to fight only when you’re needed, that’s why the divers sound so shellshocked when they get into combat because most have had a whopping 5 minutes of training and they’re 18 year old kids. Even Russia’s Wagner convicts had 3 weeks of training before going to bakhmut. Basically you can don your cape on mars and then never experience consciousness again.

@@JohnSmith-tt2tu That's just the Helldiver training. There's also SEAF service to be considered, preteen ROTC style, and the fact all citizens are basically trained from the young age by family with fake guns and schools drlls. They are only given specialized raining to be helldivers I'd say. That's definitely enough because we are the best!

The tower defense mission is thought to be rescuing Helldivers still in cryo from the first war. So it’s not an impossibility.

@@Shadow3397 Man I would LOVE a mission like that!

​@@MusketMan1997then try it, this mission type already exists 😂

That's what was in the defense wall mission rockets when the mission first came out. Phase 1 Helldivers.

Also, all Divers on the ship you control are outfitted with the gear YOU chose in the Armory. So even if they are Old Divers, they still would come standard with the gear you choose to wear.

Well this is cannon as we extract the first ever helldivers from planets that are being attacked

I would love it if there was an armour set from the first game.

If the script was not so specific in some things he could have done a funny thing where while its the Helldivers being in the video, its revealed that its the bugs talking about them and not the other way around!

Missed opportunity dang it 😂

honestly, not even entirely inaccurate, i've seen bugs just chill and watch divers do stuff on the terminals but they get aggressive as soon as it's done

@@gravitationalredshift Sometimes, but thats because their AI and pathfinding can get fugged, most notable example of this is the Chargers, sometimes they stay still because the pathfinding farts itself

@@_MatthewLance just make an animation with the terminids' perspective lol XD

Didn't the guy say his Stratagem Ball was slippery in the cold when talking about his fifth wife? Unless a joke went over my head, I think a bit of friendly-fire happened!

Combine that with the fact that super earth is a extremely militaristic and gun-free society (they literally use the breaker shotgun as a hunting and home defence weapon) an other example we can get from the engineer on the ship is apparently even when you're a small child there's quite a common celebration involving firing a firearm three times in the air and saying "no fascism here insects" and then they reenact historical battles namely something called liberty peak before having cake, this is all done presumably during childhood then combine that with the fact that everyone is GIVEN a constitution rifle on their 16th birthday not like the American second amendment where they are allowed the RIGHT to bear arms the gun is actually GIVEN to them they don't even make a purchase or a choice meaning that every super Earth citizen possibly in their childhood and definitely years before even joining the SEAF let alone the helldivers are given firearm training, then there's a 48 hour training segment for the drafted SEAF troopers and then the ones that are the most skilled and patriotic then become helldivers, are given a 5-minute training course to specifically use the helldiver equipment the strategam beacons the stims they don't actually teach you how to use a firearm they just give you one and give you a refresher by sending out live captive enemy forces you've already been trained for years how to use a firearm and while the helldiver standard lifespan in the battlefield is 2 minutes they are far from incompetent soldiers, the average one being able to take out 50 to 100 to 200 enemies by themselves honestly I don't know where people got this idea that helldivers aren't fucking terrifying soldiers because THEY ARE they drop down behind enemy lines blow up all the logistics destroy concentrated enemy forces activate dormant ICBMs and all kinds of other shit with a average maximum of 20 soldiers only using 4 at a time and they complete their objectives and get out in 40 minutes or less

@@therandomcommenter6629added on to that is the fact that the helldivers will often simply power through broken arms and legs while still very willing to keep fighting, are capable of taking far too many bullets to the chest and willingly give up their entire lives to serve democracy as they are frozen until they deploy and die. The only thing they can’t do is swim but I’ve yet to see a fully loaded modern soldier carrying a heavy weapon swim so we’ll call that one even.

​@@therandomcommenter6629 Precisely. Helldivers may be expendable but they are the Elite, you don't give lower quality forces enoigh resources to rival the cost of a Spaceship

I hope one day we'll get to liberate your home together on some cool city map or something. I heard from a friend that there was one in Helldivers 1

Gone but not forgotten

Thanks! Will do!

The 4th could be the Red shirt, dies every time, and a new diver comes to join the squad.

​@@adamf880 they killed Kenny!

Kinda like red vs blue

@@robertprice965 Yeah but does Church ever really technically die?

Thank you! Love your stuff!

Thank you! If I only had the time lol

Thank you! Some of it was cleaned mocap, like the walking. Lots of the head movements and shoulder movements were hand keyed. It just took me sooo much practice to get where I am right now. The next short, which I am actually animating right now, already looks better.

@@_MatthewLance Hey man, the practice paid off. It's clean. Keep going 😄

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!

I used rokoko video for half of it and got access to a suit to get the rest. Most of it had to be re-keyed after grabbing the mocap data though. Thank you!

That's probably a Ministry of Truth intern that keeps messing with your comments😂

@@chibani-most likely

@CorrodedFilms I swear it wasn’t me lol. Love your stuff!

Does this work for you: discord.gg/helldiversarchive

I grab most of the game assets from the “Helldivers Archive” discord server. Beyond that it’s all blender

Blender! Thank you!

My head cannon is that he was just left frozen on a destroyer for 100 years

Why unfreeze wounded veterans when you can keep them on ice for “advances in stim and surgery” and reactivate them in a time of need?

@@WisdomThumbs that makes sense

@@flyingsquirrell6953 It was the "backstory" for one of the two HD1 veterans in our group. He's also the best and most chill player, as a chad of a single dad. A true hero of lvl 9 Malevelon Creek.
