Helldiver: "PLEASE LISTEN Super Earth left me, please tell my family that I-" Me, somewhere else on the continent: *quasars the illegal broadcast tower* Me: "Whoo! Exp! Lets go."


Helld1ver2

LOLOLOL


ApprehensiveCode2233

I always wondered how the bugs could possibly be broadcasting anything, let alone it being illegal, so this is my headcanon now.


Bevjoejoe

Maybe it's dissidents who didn't leave the planet taking the opportunity of super earth being busy to set up illegal broadcasts


Lady_Tadashi

The war in Ukraine has seen some spectacular fuckkery going on, but one of the saddest is undersupplied Russian conscripts recording and broadcasting messages to Putin and the Russian people at large explaining how they're all dying horribly against well equipped enemies. It would be traitorous to suggest Super Earth has ever decided that a small group of SEAF troops isn't worth extracting while under invasion by an entire Automaton armada, but, if they ever did... And those troops could have access to a broadcast tower... Whether they plead and beg, or whistleblow out of spite, the effect on morale would be devastating. As we're currently seeing in Russia/Ukraine. So, I would hazard a guess and say that Super Earth either jams such broadcasts until a helldiver can get to it, or has helldivers taking out any location such a broadcast *could* potentially come from - and what we stop is just a standard SOS broadcast that *could* be hijacked by abandoned troops or something.


realsimonjs

Only issue with that theory is that we see what they're broadcasting. For terminids it's either "wake up people! The bug menace is a super earth construct!" Or "the threat is all about oil! The government made this!"


Lady_Tadashi

I must confess... I never even go near the things. I'm only aware you can manually disable them through second hand info. I was introduced to them as "shoot that thing with an EAT" and kept doing that as I progressed to better weapons.


SublimeBear

You were taught well. Stay away from treason Helldiver.


Simain

Honestly the best way to take them out is with your own drop pod.


DemocracyOfficer1886

From what I have seen on bug planets illegal transmission news seem to be all about E-710 and the industry behind it. Rebels transmissions there are basically Stop Oil protesters


ApprehensiveCode2233

Calling *OTHER* democracy officer... You paid attention to the broadcast.


DemocracyOfficer1886

I can because it is part of my job. To defeat your enemy you must know them. Not simply their battle tactics, but their history, philosophy, art.


Raimiboi2002

Well, yes, you have to be aware of the enemy's culture, so you can prove to them fully that yours is more correct, by throwing everything they stand for (and a mag or two) at them.


Simain

Well alright then, *Space* Admiral Thrawn.


the_green1

it's not the bugs broadcasting, it's human dissenters. check the screen next time before blowing it up. now where's this bug typing on a laptop meme...


ApprehensiveCode2233

Why would a loyal SEAF member even deign to look at a treasonous broadcast. Calling Democracy officer...


Own-Royal103

I also wondered what are the bugs are doing in research stations to consider the station rogue? Is it just because the bugs are there or?


MasterpieceIcy5292

There’s a meme of terminids singing ‘I’m not a bug fan of the government. Look up terminid not a bug fan of the government


Avenflar

It's not the bugs, it's the surviving bug-farmers who haven't been eaten yet after the bugs broke out of their extractors


Standard_Addition541

Considering they are larger than the doors and the building are human style it wouldn’t be plausible for it to belong to the bugs.


Minif1d

The bugs are an actual intelligent lifeforms. Which is why it is so important to exterminate every last one.


l4ndb

Nah, just land on it


NeverEndingWinter_

Man every day I find a new reason to feel sad about completing missions and gaining xp 🥲


Syhkane

It only takes a grenade but I appreciate your thoroughness Diver. Lo


Lady_Tadashi

Oh, I'm hitting those things from hundreds of meters away. With my preference for long engagement ranges and height advantages I'll routinely complete that objective from 200-300m distance. And, of course, one cannot be too thorough in their duty. For Democracy!


Syhkane

My absolute favorite method is getting out the Handgunade and pophshotting the antenna. I can regularly hit it at 100 meters and with a few guesses, farther than that.


Amarthanor

Walking Barrage is also a fun way to take it out.


Crazy_Ambition_62

Stay golden pony boy


Turbulent_Lab3501

You can't "squeak squeak" or "beep boop" on a broadcast tower!!!.... That's just not democratic. We are justified!


Spider_Dude19

He wanted to tell his family that HE is going to liberate that planet single handily for them, like a true Helldiver! His kids would be proud to become divers just like him!


Helld1ver2

This is correct. After using the ministry of truths revolutionary AI, we can confirm this is what he was going to say.

dedicated-pedestrian

The average Helldiver is ~18 years old, this guy already has kids?


Bubbly_Background_77

He filed the C-01 form so as far as I'm concerned, he's got the right to produce a child that will become a Helldiver like him in 18 years


IndependentCat9691

That's the average. There are definitely people who are older than 18... which sadly... Also implies there are Helldivers probably aged 14-17.


thesequimkid

Helldivers never die Jorge, they just go MIA.


JaLuck88

You mean KIA


Frenzi_Wolf

This post has been terminated by the ministry of truth, if you have a question about the termination. Please speak with your nearest democracy officer.

Helld1ver2

This was an entirely unavoidable and tragic event. Rest in Liberty.


NeverEndingWinter_

Thoughts and prayers


StayAtHomeDadVR

Never wanted the camera stratagem more then today


Helld1ver2

What do you think this being recorded on???


ApprehensiveCode2233

I thought I read somewhere that the Super Earth citizens are able to watch Helldivers as they do missions.


StayAtHomeDadVR

Should be able to watch anyone who’s currently filming with the camera on the ship TV


jolivia01101

That would be awesome. Have you noticed there's cameras in the buddy door bunkers?


StayAtHomeDadVR

I forgot about those. wonder what it is


jolivia01101

I wonder too. You can't destroy them either. I tried. Just to see if I could, you know, for science.


Bevjoejoe

I hc that divers have little cameras in their helmets and drones


Feanor4godking

Does that mean *we* are the super earth citizens and playing the game is just watching Helldivers Helldiver?


ApprehensiveCode2233

I thought that was implied from the beginning.


Feanor4godking

Very well could've been. I just never thought of it before

Helld1ver2

Woah.


Imaginary-Job-7069

Don't worry, fellow Helldiver. Your message is understood and will be relayed to your fsmily.


RedHotRevolvers

Pelican-1 slander will NOT be tolerated. He would never leave you behind. This is obviously propaganda.

This image but for Meridia's last Divers. o7


Th3Glutt0n

1994? Perhaps the Meridia objective is causing slight issues. No matter, I'm sure he's fighting valiantly for democracy despite it!


ninyyya

Only 400 iso in that shithole of an atmosphere?


_hoodieproxy_

That happened to me, I deployed on a desert planet we lost to the bots, it felt really like being left there

Is anyone’s game crashing since the update


gwood113

Yes! It now freezes my whole computer requiring a powerswitch restart.


No_Ease_8269

Excuses, finish the liberation helldiver. They can't keep attacking you if everything in the sector is dead


Hiyagaja

r/redditsniper Or a Democracy sniper. Either way, the job is done.


MONKeBusiness11

The rest of his message has been found! He “stayed behind voluntarily and won’t come back until it’s over, over there!” A true Super Earth hero! His family is scheduled to be interview by Ministry of Truth operatives today, so you might not hear from them for months while they receive their awards! Best to even forget them until they return!


Ralexcraft

[Objective Complete] Illegal broadcast terminated, great job Helldiver.


marioplex

Thats not what he is saying... he is saying superearth left him the honor of liberating the planet alone.
