Zach plays the new game Helldivers II and has WAY more fun than he thought he was going to. FOR SUPER EARTH! Broadcast live on Twitch -- Watch live at / zach_hazard
Quick note about Super Credits: They can be earnable through gameplay at points of interest (notably the drones you salute to open and buried freight containers you need to grenade open) or unlockable in both free and premium warbonds. More amazingly, the rate you can earn them isn't capped as far as I can tell and is earnable at a reasonable rate. Been playing casually since launch and am halfway to getting enough for a free warbond. Also, unlike most battlepass style systems, warbonds don't expire or retire so there's no FOMO aside from the Superstore's rotation. Additionally medals are earned regardless of warbond ownership so you can earn the medals to unlock things in a warbond before buying the warbond so your efforts aren't wasted. Overall, it's very consumer friendly monetisation by current industry standards, although not quite as good as Deep Rock Galactic but then DRG doesn't have server costs due to it being a peer to peer game.
I like to think the Super President of Super Earth is basically an AI generated deep fake of Donald Trump that gets pallette swapped to different hair, skin and suits every managed election.
Minefields are fun. Not just for the tactical area denial but because you'd be surprised how many players don't notice them despite them glowing bright red leading to comedic accidents.
Warframe made me a believer of that years ago. Sure, you might get someone inexperienced, but that's just being on the other end of all those times a higher level player carried you.
@@bthsr7113 especially when you play as support, I remember some dude who was higher level than me gesturing me to get in a mech suit. So I could handout ammo while being fire support at the same time.
Only an hour in currently so unsure if it was discovered but you can indeed single man operate a team weapon, been using the recoilless on my own, just take both the weapon and the pack though it will take longer to reload on your own
Update, you can use every team weapon solo, just as before though it will take longer to reload, autocannon is fun, haven't used the totally not a Javelin yet
@@FoxNamedFinn remember to reload that auto cannon before it runs empty. The democratic way! This allows you to reload without having to cycle the action again, and is far faster when operating it solo! LIBERTY FOR ALL.
I called my ship the "Founding Father of Liberty" Which is a reference to the founding fathers of America Although I was going to name it the "Beacon of Hope" but I didn't have that option. I want to name my ship after my Discord Server.
I dont know if anyone metioned it in the end to turn flash light on and change fire rate your need to hold r / reload while not aiming to get the menu up
hey zach, only about an hour in but you can also find super credits ingame look for the yellow beacons and crashed ship things sometimes they are requistion slips, super credits or heavy weapons for use until extraction.
I really appreciate the little details like not only gore, but snow deformation and cape tearing. Edit: If my experience from the previous game is anything to go off of, single player is technically doable but not recommended.
I've been imagining this game ever since I got hooked on the first one I've been intending to play it since it was announced I even got the special edition But I can't play it Because my PC is too weak and the game isn't on any cloud gaming service So I get to suffer But hey, fun that Zach uploaded some in the meantime How you doing Hazards, hope you're all having fun and everyone is healthy.
Hey Zach, I recommend getting a PS5 controller for this game. The haptic triggers and haptic vibrations really add to the feel of the guns. Only downside is you'll need a USB cable to connect the controller to your PC. I don't think Sony does an official wireless dongle for it. However I feel the haptics letting you really feel the recoil through the vibrations and triggers is worth it. Plus Steam Input supports so it'll work with other games that wouldn't typically support it.
@@Bone8380 If you read my comment thoroughly, you see that I mention that in order to use it wirelessly you need to get a dongle to do it, or have a Bluetooth adapter in your PC. In either case point is the PS5 controller can't be used wirelessly by itself and requires an additional purchase compared to using a USB cable that you likely already have as it's the same one most phone chargers use.
Being level 35 and looking at how slow this gameplay is but knowing how hectic it was when I was there lol good times not being swarmed by 5 bile titans and 10 chargers
The Leave Lobby option is a button prompt near the cryo pod you enter a lobby from. It's dumb there isn't an option in the menu but I appreciate the immersive thinking.
If they toned down the monetization, fixed progression, and incorporated the missing features (more enemy factions and player accessible vehicles) this game would be ideal. Though even as it is, it's a strong start, and going to take the Starship Troopers game's player base.
There isn't, but there is enough space at the bottom of the war map for another faction. Assuming it's not the Illuminate from the first game, there could very well be dissidents in the future
"It's kinda friend shaped"
General Brasch: "Looks like someone volunteered for the suicide mission."
Oh Zach You'll love the Auto Cannon!
Its ok Zach. Just pretend the other players are NPCs with quirky Fallout AI.
Imagine if Mike joined his game and roleplayed as his companion NPCs right down to throwing grenades everywhere and running into minefields.
@@PlebNC Was Democracy a Pre-Super Earth thing? Or a Pre-Pre Super Earth thing?

I like how the battle pass works. You don't HAVE to unlock all the lower tier items, you can just get what you like.
FOR THE EMPEROR!
I mean Democracy
So...? For the Super President?
Oddly fitting I named my ship "Emperor of Humankind"
I like to think the Super President of Super Earth is basically an AI generated deep fake of Donald Trump that gets pallette swapped to different hair, skin and suits every managed election.
I mean "Emperor of Democracy" is a valid ship name

This valentines day, find someone that holds you like TP holds his blunderbuss
Such a fun game. I really hope they sort out the server issues.
Theyre workin overtime to do so, i feel bad for them cause they were not ready for this game to be the hit it was
KLENDATHU DROP INTENSIFIES
Legally distinct starship troopers 2: the game!
Zach will love one of the SMGs you unlock in the free warbond. It's basically a P90.
The game that made me believe in the power of randos.

LIBERTY FOR ALL.
I named my ship "Star of the Stars". I'm on my Moon Moon shit. 😤
I called my destroyer the Harbinger of Family Values.
I’m the Hammer of The State
Harbinger of family values XD i think you found the best combination
@@thecursed01 Patriot of Patriotism
I called my ship the "Founding Father of Liberty"
Which is a reference to the founding fathers of America
Although I was going to name it the "Beacon of Hope" but I didn't have that option. I want to name my ship after my Discord Server.
This is a Solar Auxilia simulator with less potent gear, but they got the support and orbital-dropping part right at least.
FREEDOM FROM YOUR MORTAL COIL!
I dont know if anyone metioned it in the end to turn flash light on and change fire rate your need to hold r / reload while not aiming to get the menu up
FOR MANAGED DEMOCRACY!
They 100% knew what they were doing letting you have to option to name your ship Wings of Redemption.
"friend shaped." What kind of friends do you have, Zach? The meth monsters next door look more friend shaped than the giant roach.
For liberty for super earth
its the goblin laugh that does it for me
Zach kicking joov is hilarious

How you doing Hazards, hope you're all having fun and everyone is healthy.
Be more enthusiastic damnit!!!! ;)
No Zach, the MG's rates of fire are... Full Auto, Fuller Auto and *SUPER AUTO!*
so at about 1:47:28 that blast door I think requires two people to open it, but you can find credits requistions and a heavy weapon behind those too

The PS5 controller works via Bluetooth. Just saying.
@@waxitron9181 Not when used with a PC. Your choice is wired connection or finding a compatible third party wireless dongle.
@@PlebNCNot true, I use my PS5 controller on my PC via wireless Bluetooth all the time.

@@PlebNC I never bought a dongle or Bluetooth adapter and my PS5 controller works perfectly fine wireless on my PC.

There is an option to leave lobby in the menu
@@captainwolf5922 Fair enough. Is there a Quit to Main Menu button for the host?

But at the same time for an online game the monetizing isn’t bad
Mike and Zack Helldivers when? XD i want some friendly fire

*Would You Like To Know More?*
*Yes* *No*
6:03 "That was a scripted death."
Errr....no it wasn't.

Hi žæçķ
chuckled how he doesn't react at all that mike is one of the donators/subs XD #1:45:30
also: bagels= sad donuts
SpongeBob had Bubble Buddy
Zach Hazard had Cardboard Buddy
Does it have himans as enemies too? Some enemy faction? Super earth vs meh earth?
There isn't, but there is enough space at the bottom of the war map for another faction. Assuming it's not the Illuminate from the first game, there could very well be dissidents in the future
There are terminator robots
