Helldivers 2

Grill Divers for the win. Let's cook those bugs!

The only game to win more awards last night than Helldivers 2 was Astro Bot with five, so it was an excellent night for Helldivers.

Also as of posting, it appears to be slowly slowing down, currently the accumulation rate is 1.00% per hour and the natural decay at this moment is 1.10% per hour, so there is a net decay of 0.10% per hour, but that doesn’t mean we can let any worlds fall into the hands of the Illuminate cult.

I'll see if I can upload the entire clip (saved the whole match lol), but I found an equipable entrenching tool while fighting illuminates. Took my support weapon slot sadly enough but losing my stalwart and all the combat effectiveness it brings was worth the ability to dig holes in the ground.

Seriously you could dig holes with it. I nearly buried myself.

Five planets are at risk of being destroyed as the singularity makes its way to Super Earth:

1. Moradesh (Closest to the rubble FKA Angel's Venture)
2. Ivis
3. Nublaria I
4. Pilen V
5. New Haven (Closest to Super Earth)

Couldn't get a good picture with the singularity and Super Earth in it except this tiny cropped one:

A minor patch fixing usual HD2 scuff and bugs.

Helldivers 2 was released 1 year ago on 2024-02-08. I can recall many defining moments during my time playing Helldivers 2 such as shooting a rock in the distance because it looked like a Charger or failing miserably at destroying a grounded Illuminate Warp Ship.

My favorite moment was completing the Dark Fluid Mission and getting swarmed by Shriekers during extraction.

Share your favorite moments from the past year of spreading managed democracy.

Could this be a hint of another Illuminate weapon of mass destruction? We stopped them in the first galactic war. We will do it again in the name of freedom, liberty, and justice.

Other things spotted in the patch (Twitter post links, sorry):

Bile Titan bug holes

Shovel melee weapon spawns at some POIs
