This planet was dope as shit. Got to try it yesterday on suicide difficulty and damn, watching the sky get more and more red as we ran to the extract with bugs and fire tornados everywhere… it was awesome. Visibility went from unlimited to like 40 meters and the chaos got even more beautiful.
Simple and fun. The fact that they make it easy for people just to hop in and have fun with their friends after a work night is something that seems to be lost to most of the world. Still, Arrowhead definitely has a big thing on their hands and its safe to say we're all here for it.
it gets harder and harder evrrytime to find a game that you dont have to treat as another job just to be able to enjoy its content so i imagine that this is one of the bigger reasons Helldivers 2 is doing so well I just hope they bring the game to Xbox eventually, its a bit sad to only be able to "play" it through TH-cam
Just got 'The power of democracy' achievement the other day with the Eagle Airstrike (25 enemies killed with one stratagem) and dear lord the pure unadulterated joy I got seeing bug parts fly everywhere...
@@DivineOrange somehow they managed to copy paste better. probably because the game isn't about exploring so it doesn't matter. Starfield is supposed to be an exploration/RPG so copy pastes are awful for the experience.

Watching Drewski's progression in this game over the last week has been fun. You can definitely tell he has a firmer grasp of the controls and play style needed in this video. Hope this game doesn't die off in popularity too soon because I love watching all the videos!
If they add a mission that has friendly AI fighting bots or something that you have to drop in to a big battle and help turn the tide that would be awesome, all the ODST fans would love that shit
As long as the devs completely iron out all the problems everyone has been experiencing lately and keep updating adding new content I can see this game almost never dying. It’s that much fun
the devs seems 100% committed an from what i hear they were very supportive of hell divers 1 i think were in very capable hands i have high hopes they'll do what's needed an beyond
Wow god damn the environment artists were COOKING for this planet. That transformation was insane. Cool to see you still covering this game Drew, hoping for more ❤.
Btw for the Radar Station quests, when you're aligning the tower, it will make a beeping noise indicating it's within range. Figured this out while playing solo.
playing with friends is the go to, went all the way to impossible difficulty on our second real play session and i especially love the small details like the light from a 500kg bomb reflecting off a bile titan in the distance through the dust is both horrifying and badass, or being in the ship looking out the window and seeing other ships fire off orbitals and lasers and even being destroyed by automaton lasers and exploding. this has to be the game of the year.

Helldivers 2 was built using a discontinued game engine called Autodesk Stingray. The same engine used for the original Helldivers launched on the PS3 in 2015.

Going from reasonable visibility in the beginning of a mission to not being able to identify a target outside of 40ft is a horrific enough experience, but add to that the higher difficulties with Stalkers that are nearly fully hidden in the dust and you have an experience more terrifying than anything automaton Vietnam can throw your way.

I was thinking all week about what this game reminded me of, and Halo: Reach Firefight mode was exactly it. I remember the first time I played that mode thinking "Man, an entire game like this would be awesome."
Games like this are essentially the evolution of early horde modes. Take an infinite supply of enemies and add dynamic objectives. If Microsoft wasn’t so afraid of taking risks with halo they could have made an odst game based on different conflicts with the covenant on dynamic maps. They have all the gameplay elements essentially ready with the odst game they already made including the firefight mode that laid the ground work for something like this.
what I've noticed is that each stratagem has a pattern to it! some are easier than others but usually they have a pattern that relates to what you call down! The autocannon sentry is ⬇⬆➡⬆⬅⬆ which I look as the turret doing a 'scanning motion'. The mortar sentry is just ⬇⬆➡➡⬇ which you can look at as a simple "trajectory" or a mortar being fired lol. The hellbomb is a long one (⬇⬆⬅⬇⬆➡⬇⬆) but you can just see it doing DOWN UP for every side on the hellbomb which has 3 sides or three fins. There's tiny patterns like this which make it so much easier to remember some stratagems!
I would love to see some regular military units and vehicles on the planets that we might have to rescue or reinforce. I think of Helldivers as elite special ops units and it would be rad to see some regular troops fighting (and dying) with us.
you can occasionally see their dead bodies. the SEAF (super earth armed forces) wear blue uniforms with what seems to be light armor. they probably also make use of the low quality weapons like the break action shotgun.
Just tried the planet today and it went from day to night to day in a 40 minute match. It was weird, but yeah the fire spouts were an insane addition. They didn't have to go this hard for one biome.
You should consider swapping your strategem keys to the arrow keys so you can still run while you call in airstrikes. Made a HUGE difference in my gameplay
Masterchief collection was an amazing Co-op experience. And games like uncharted 3,4,world war z and earlier live service coop games were good 3rd personthing.
As a Halo trilogy fan, that tweet from Kevin Schmitt is so depressing. A galaxy spanning ODST game would have been incredible and now I'm just upset we never got it

Gosh the sound design in this game is fantastic! I kinda hope you played it with the same group of friends everytime, like how you went through gtfo, but however you do please keep these videos coming!
Tried kill bile titan on challenging solo. The sneaking around and using the fog and smoke to hide while patrols run within feet of you, sneaking up on the titan, hitting it with an orbital laser and 500KG then running like crazy to extract. It was crazy lol.
I have run into so many marines, Army, Navy, Air Force ( Yet to run into Coast Guard ) - and one guy that apparently had ranger cert when he was Army. When those guys are in charge of the group it's so fun. Marines though man. Talk about people that really embody Super Earth. " GET AGGRESSIVE FAST. GO! " Has us charge in against a battle line of Devastators to punch a hole in their defenses, call in our reinforcements on the enemy base and then set up a defensive line with turret stratagems. I had brought auto-cannon turret and mortar turret. Was great.
Helldivers reminds of the the Halo 1 and 2 days playing co-op split screen. I wanna see some co-op vehicle play like a multi-man tank or a gun ship of sorts.
They did have multi-crew vehicles in the first game, and they've said that they'll be adding them into this one. One of the first looks to be a mech with autocannons for arms.
They didn’t even do that; 343 mostly just wanted to create their own story for the future of Halo, 4 was a pretty big step away from the OG titles and while it really isn’t that terrible it’s definitely different. We don’t talk about 5 and Infinite is also vastly different than the originals. At this point it’s just mismanagement of the franchise. I just don’t have hope in Halo anymore, they gave us so many promises and we game them so many chances and it’s just… the same…
Tip: the auto cannon lands facing whatever direction you were facing when you dropped it, so like 27:00 in when that new BT arose you should have thrown it right at your feet facing him and it would have worked. Throwing it left made it start facing away from the BT
3:48 there is no home planet anymore, that was in Helldivers 1. The Termanids is 2 were all used for docile farming before they started all going aggressive again and mutated like nuts.
this game is so fucking good its crazy, hell i didnt even realized i racked up 50 hours already and thats considered pretty low. the community based war table is so good and i cant wait all the future content planned too it helps so much that theres so much variety for the planets too edit: the bile titans are considered small on their home planet too
Such an awesome video; this is an amazing, epic game. Haven't checked out Hell yet, will do tomorrow. The graphics, gameplay mechanics, music, audio - everything's just chef's kiss! Also when you mentioned Elite Dangerous players, I felt that! o7
I may be late to this and you may not see this, but rebind your strategem keys to your arrow keys instead of WASD. It allows you to move while calling strategems in.
I’ve been playing this with my friends, and we’re having a blast! But when you think about it, it’s actually a really simple gameplay loop. Drop, shoot, do objective, extract and repeat. Don’t get me wrong, I freaking love the gameplay, the guns feel great, the strategems are so much fun, the moments when your buddy manages to get 20k in friendly fire are just hilarious, but when you think about it it’s all very simple. Maybe I’m just surprised no one thought about this earlier. ❤
I just wanna acknowledge the amount of teamplay knowledge and awareness that a move as simple as the one at 5:14 takes. Drewski takes in the situation and surmises that his team can handle the front without him, so he takes the time to make sure they aren't getting flanked in the meantime. It's that type of cooperation that makes games like these feel so cool.
The idea of this game is so simple but so much fun. The big studios were busy making games around micro-transaction in the center. Nobody played it for a reason.
If you shoot the chargers(heavies) in the abdomen, you can make them slow and they will bleed out. takes usually like 6-7 autocannon shots or 5-6 railgun shots to work.
If you wanna take out the big charging bugs faster, knock out the armor on one of their legs with your railgun and shoot the exposed flesh. Drops them very quick :) Cool vid!
Or if you have good aim an even faster way is two quick shots to a rear leg with the autocannon. Fastest way to kill them. Of course the autocannon uses a backpack slot which is a bit meh.
It would be cooler if u can run Into other squads in the same planet and u can have the option to create a platoon with them joining in coms too or not depending on ur choice. And help each other extract or do ur tasks. Then leave fireteam automatically when extracted or when mission is failed or done.
All men want is games where you and your closest friends fight an overwhelming enemy force in a war that doesn't care about us and we don't get many of those. Maybe this will make EDF more popular
hey drewski as a tip shoot charge twice in the front leg and then finish it with primary, the two railgun shots rip off the armor and the multiplier on the armorless leg is insane.
helldivers 2 has been peeking my interest lately, the nonstop action and the DEMOCRACY bit had me hooked when i first heard of this game. also, loving the vids lately, keep up the hard work Drew!
As a long time jankey support player im hyped to have a game where I can play an ammo loader and make our AT fire roughly 3 times faster. I should really try more games where I can properly play that role, it started as a kid learning the glitches that could make my team invincibleish in black ops zombies.
Just did my first Difficulty 4 Duo Mission. It was pretty difficult but we had 7 revives left and only 2 outposts left. Were gonna play it a bit more before we start Difficulty 5
the eagle airstrike is a must have for higher difficulties until you get much better at the game, you can use them to wipe out outposts from a distance and the eagle reloads so that 2 uses stat is how many times you can use it before it takes 2.5 minutes to reload.
@@Nazukio the 500kg bomb is weird because it doesn't like to destroy fabricators or bug holes unless it lands directly on top of them. the regular airstrike seems to work because of the multiple small bombs having a higher chance of landing directly on target.
Hey Drewski! PLEASE consider doing more GTFO in the near future OR alternatively maybe uncut versions of the missions from the existing 4 videos if nothing else? Your GTFO videos are hands down absolutely THE very BEST! 😎👍🏻 Edit: With the obvious exception for the 4th mission because 10 hours at your level of quality is probably WAY too long for TH-cam.

The autocannon sentry works wonders on big guys.. it take a bit to get shooting, but it’s larger caliber than the one you can carry.
on of my favourites for sure. Deletes every enemy in the game from long range if you can place it on a hill.
what I've noticed is that each stratagem has a pattern to it! some are easier than others but usually they have a pattern that relates to what you call down! The autocannon sentry is ⬇⬆➡⬆⬅⬆ which I look as the turret doing a 'scanning motion'. The mortar sentry is just ⬇⬆➡➡⬇ which you can look at as a simple "trajectory" or a mortar being fired lol.

there is a game called the cycles
its battle royal where you get droped in pod at the edges of the map and you have to make it to an extraction point
there are also other player in there but there are no team BUT you can basically wave at another player and team up with them literally they become your team but you can then also break this team
there is also wild life present on the map
and the plot is that the planet get angery at us being there so the longer we stay a strom will become to come and it become more and more extream the longer we stay
the wild life reacts to the strom getting more extream by also becoming more extream
they basically start to evolve into more bigger and more armored versions and become more voilent
there are also a diffrent types of them so it kinda fun
also you get two chances meaning you can die two time and you get respawned at the pod
there are resources in the map that you can mine or collect
i think you get point for that which you can use to call in better gear like guns and sport gear like heavy sniper or turret or invisibilty clock or bombardment or health
Gosh the sound design in this game is fantastic! I kinda hope you played it with the same group of friends everytime, like how you went through gtfo, but however you do please keep these videos coming!
I fought my first titan on Hellmire. It was quite the traumatic experience.
Time for yet another great Helldivers video from the man himself.
Tried kill bile titan on challenging solo. The sneaking around and using the fog and smoke to hide while patrols run within feet of you, sneaking up on the titan, hitting it with an orbital laser and 500KG then running like crazy to extract. It was crazy lol.
I love the OST. This game has so many war movie moments for me. LAST MAG!
You should see Helldivers 1’s ost
I have run into so many marines, Army, Navy, Air Force ( Yet to run into Coast Guard ) - and one guy that apparently had ranger cert when he was Army. When those guys are in charge of the group it's so fun. Marines though man. Talk about people that really embody Super Earth.
" GET AGGRESSIVE FAST. GO! " Has us charge in against a battle line of Devastators to punch a hole in their defenses, call in our reinforcements on the enemy base and then set up a defensive line with turret stratagems. I had brought auto-cannon turret and mortar turret. Was great.
I absolutely loved the grassy misty planet... Draupnir or something I think? Remined me of Death Stranding.
I love Helldivers.
Hellmire gives me lots of Warhammer 40Ks "Armageddon" with the city Helsreach and the planet's season of fire.
Helldivers reminds of the the Halo 1 and 2 days playing co-op split screen. I wanna see some co-op vehicle play like a multi-man tank or a gun ship of sorts.
They did have multi-crew vehicles in the first game, and they've said that they'll be adding them into this one. One of the first looks to be a mech with autocannons for arms.
Halo is a prime example of how excessive risk-avoidance is simply choosing another slower form of decline.
They didn’t even do that; 343 mostly just wanted to create their own story for the future of Halo, 4 was a pretty big step away from the OG titles and while it really isn’t that terrible it’s definitely different. We don’t talk about 5 and Infinite is also vastly different than the originals. At this point it’s just mismanagement of the franchise. I just don’t have hope in Halo anymore, they gave us so many promises and we game them so many chances and it’s just… the same…
4:28 great stalker reference
35:30 was the chefs kiss of the support role while the homies loot the bunker
I love sinking all my time into either playing Helldivers or watching Helldivers while working!
Will you play Star Citizen sometime?
Drew was right about the red overload, I looked up and everything was blue tinted and the room is already slightly blue so that was even more blue
I so badly wanna play this game, but right now it looks like it's a good idea to wait for a bit longer, until they fix server issues.
Why would you want to knowingly install kernal level malware on your computer just because a cool game is attached to it?
@@DoesNotInhalebecause I'm not an autistic nerd and I like to have fun. Also, "kernal level malware"? 😂Really? Lmao
@@DoesNotInhalewomp womp
I mean I am getting in every time if you just have a little patience.
@@DoesNotInhale You have probably played dozens of games with one and never given a shit until it was made into a big deal here.
Tip: the auto cannon lands facing whatever direction you were facing when you dropped it, so like 27:00 in when that new BT arose you should have thrown it right at your feet facing him and it would have worked. Throwing it left made it start facing away from the BT
They took the concept of DOOM and said "les go then"
I just love the little lore on my armour saying its from Hellmire.
..which headcanonically makes Hellmire my homeworld. AND ILL SEE IT LIBERATED
Against all the bugs that hell can conujure... and all the tanks the bots can produce... we will send unto them... only Drew
Load it up, this is the first person modern Gauntlet Legends, we've all been waiting for.
"this is the coolest planet i've been on"
Very poor choice of words sir.
3:48 there is no home planet anymore, that was in Helldivers 1. The Termanids is 2 were all used for docile farming before they started all going aggressive again and mutated like nuts.
Wow. Best combo of intense fighting and stunning visuals that I've seen yet.
22:18 I appreciate that "Hallo" nice
this game is so fucking good its crazy, hell i didnt even realized i racked up 50 hours already and thats considered pretty low. the community based war table is so good and i cant wait all the future content planned too it helps so much that theres so much variety for the planets too
edit: the bile titans are considered small on their home planet too
A bug gave off a cartwheel at 33:10 in response to the hellbomb hahaha.
Such an awesome video; this is an amazing, epic game. Haven't checked out Hell yet, will do tomorrow. The graphics, gameplay mechanics, music, audio - everything's just chef's kiss! Also when you mentioned Elite Dangerous players, I felt that! o7
Hey man, just wanted to suggest that you bind the stratagems keys to the arrows, that way you can keep moving while you call in support
counterpoint: wasd call-ins can be done considerably faster
@@tinysaddledchicken If you're not doing them fast to begin with it's irrelevant
Those titans are considered small on their home planet
its actually crazy how different sometimes the same planet can look like but this is crazy, so many planets and each look different
3:55 Imagine if you're in the Starcraft Universe & you're in the planet Char, that's where my mind went.
I may be late to this and you may not see this, but rebind your strategem keys to your arrow keys instead of WASD. It allows you to move while calling strategems in.
1:36 I think we all feel your pain here Drew, a dark halo game would've been amazing
“Both are correct” to epic rock music was a hell of a great intro!
1:03 "FOR SUPER EAeRaAAErRTHHHHHH!!!!" had me dead
I’ve been playing this with my friends, and we’re having a blast! But when you think about it, it’s actually a really simple gameplay loop. Drop, shoot, do objective, extract and repeat.
Don’t get me wrong, I freaking love the gameplay, the guns feel great, the strategems are so much fun, the moments when your buddy manages to get 20k in friendly fire are just hilarious, but when you think about it it’s all very simple. Maybe I’m just surprised no one thought about this earlier. ❤
I think that's why people enjoy it, it's not complicated, it's just fun
The planet looks like it’s having a constant emission storm during the day
I just wanna acknowledge the amount of teamplay knowledge and awareness that a move as simple as the one at 5:14 takes. Drewski takes in the situation and surmises that his team can handle the front without him, so he takes the time to make sure they aren't getting flanked in the meantime. It's that type of cooperation that makes games like these feel so cool.
Remember in the Anthem E3 gameplay demo when they showed the character running into a storm? I want that.
Goosebumps. This was incredible.
Also, your image quality is Top notch! Chefs kiss
The idea of this game is so simple but so much fun. The big studios were busy making games around micro-transaction in the center. Nobody played it for a reason.
helldivers has the potential to be my GOTY man. i hope they keep up the momentum for a while
I hope they do cause I can’t play on my setup and can’t afford a new one yet and I wanna play while it’s at peak 🥲
@@d.martinez9468"at peak" lol.
It'll only get better with time as they fix bugs.
If you shoot the chargers(heavies) in the abdomen, you can make them slow and they will bleed out. takes usually like 6-7 autocannon shots or 5-6 railgun shots to work.
If you wanna take out the big charging bugs faster, knock out the armor on one of their legs with your railgun and shoot the exposed flesh. Drops them very quick :)
Cool vid!
Or if you have good aim an even faster way is two quick shots to a rear leg with the autocannon. Fastest way to kill them. Of course the autocannon uses a backpack slot which is a bit meh.
It would be cooler if u can run Into other squads in the same planet and u can have the option to create a platoon with them joining in coms too or not depending on ur choice. And help each other extract or do ur tasks. Then leave fireteam automatically when extracted or when mission is failed or done.
All men want is games where you and your closest friends fight an overwhelming enemy force in a war that doesn't care about us and we don't get many of those. Maybe this will make EDF more popular
bro, that remembers me from that game in the Wreck-It Ralph movie
hey drewski as a tip shoot charge twice in the front leg and then finish it with primary, the two railgun shots rip off the armor and the multiplier on the armorless leg is insane.
helldivers 2 has been peeking my interest lately, the nonstop action and the DEMOCRACY bit had me hooked when i first heard of this game.
also, loving the vids lately, keep up the hard work Drew!
it really is worth the 40 bucks unless you want to be a super citizen.
Breaker+Stalwart is one of my favorite weapon combos so far. Stalwart is like just having a third gun, it rocks.
As a long time jankey support player im hyped to have a game where I can play an ammo loader and make our AT fire roughly 3 times faster. I should really try more games where I can properly play that role, it started as a kid learning the glitches that could make my team invincibleish in black ops zombies.
you gotta play on HELLdive difficulty in HELLmire for the ultimate HELLdivers 2 experience
Just did my first Difficulty 4 Duo Mission. It was pretty difficult but we had 7 revives left and only 2 outposts left. Were gonna play it a bit more before we start Difficulty 5
the eagle airstrike is a must have for higher difficulties until you get much better at the game, you can use them to wipe out outposts from a distance and the eagle reloads so that 2 uses stat is how many times you can use it before it takes 2.5 minutes to reload.
@@dominuslogik484 Yeah I'm using that one. I think it's even better than the 500kg.
@@Nazukio the 500kg bomb is weird because it doesn't like to destroy fabricators or bug holes unless it lands directly on top of them. the regular airstrike seems to work because of the multiple small bombs having a higher chance of landing directly on target.
@@dominuslogik484 Yeah, noticed that too. It's sad. I thought it would be awesome to play with it, but it's not really helpful.
How could the devs think this wouldn't absolutely blow away the average consumer
Wouldn't mind seeing more of this game
"Do we meed to get to cover?"
"No, we're fine!"
Great gameplay guys! A game with great potential.
Hey Drewski! PLEASE consider doing more GTFO in the near future OR alternatively maybe uncut versions of the missions from the existing 4 videos if nothing else? Your GTFO videos are hands down absolutely THE very BEST! 😎👍🏻
Edit: With the obvious exception for the 4th mission because 10 hours at your level of quality is probably WAY too long for TH-cam.
