Cool thing about the Illuminate is that we haven't even seen their full roster of units yet, as Helldiver 1 veterans know there is going to be even more craziness once all of their units are out. Fear the WALLS lol.
@@dominikbury2 i mean it projects a beam that turns into a wall. not hard to code and there can be plenty of counterplay too. Im just curious if the walls will too high for jumppacks or not
I’d love it if there was a team up situation. Or if the other factions were also at war. You could drop onto a planet with bugs and bots fighting eachother, controlling different points, etc. I also love the idea of a rebel faction of super earth splitting off and then we have to fight other helldivers with all their kit.
The illuminate is fucking amazing! It requires a level of teamwork to be efficient in combing through the urban environments and taking out elites that no other faction does. It feels like being an Xcom soldier and I love it! I just wish cars were more common tho :(
I like the idea that if the enemies are too strong and they need to be nerfed, I would like it if they made that part of the MO. If we want the enemies to be weaker we got to earn that. We have to do like a major order to sabotage one of their supply chains or something thus giving them a Nerf after we complete it.
@brotein7157 kind of but I'm talking about like enemy tweaks and helldiver tweaks. Like if something from the illuminate is way too overpowered and too much of a nuisance they could make it a MO To make them like have less stats or something to make them balanced.
@@captaincritter6173 are you talking about new leaks or are you talking about the ones about the illuminate? I was talking about what do you mean by you wished it lasted longer? What do you want to last longer? Is my question

@@Jorasaurus yes to illuminate part, lastly, it’s over. I think there is something else but right now you can’t even play or fight illuminate on Calpso, for now there has been leaks that they might continue, like I said, look up both. I think there was something that leaked from PlayStation that was covered in one of the news TH-cam channels (today).
No point in hating this game bc it will always find a way to bring you back 😂 it’s a small company. I’m sure they never intended for the game to get this popular & feel the need to rush content bc part 1 flew under the radar. With that you see the potential they have with just taking their time and make the game they envision. Just ppl were so hype with 2 then social media blows it up they couldn’t keep pace with how they wanted to make their game feeling handcuff. I trust they know what they’re doing. Long as were patient great content will keep coming. Great to have surprises like this
I've adopted a whole new loadout in the game since this update. Taking the Urban Scout armour set, for the new passive that grants extra ammo and faster reloads, pairing it up with the Ballistic Shield, Knight SMG and the new Stun Baton melee secondary, with the last two slots for Eagles or sentries based on the mission. I call it the *"STOP RESISTING!"* loadout
I know they are still in the early stage, but honestly, the Squids are the most fun I've had in HD2 in a while! Also, the fact that we are currently losing to a RECON FORCE is funny/terrifying.
There is so much more to put in the game like hivelords that I have been hearing about, some new bots, have the vehicle become a stratagem. Etc. Warbonds now have access to an array of melee weapons and sheilds. Some better armor passives such as %chance to deflect bullets, boost primary/support/sidearm damage, less damage from sentry, additional sentry, etc.
I thought they were going to be harder than the bots but they’re so well balanced with the ruthlessness of the bots’ long range attacks, powerful but breakable shields, the swarm tactics of the bugs, the ability to stop all their deployments due to them coming from shootable ships, as well as a lot of structures with fun mechanics like how they don’t completely restrict your stratagems but instead make it harder for you to use them.
I'm pretty against the new warbond. Basically the melee weapon is cool, and the anti tank turret is good, but that's really it. No new weapons. And locking more strategems behind a paywall, which is one big thing the game always needs more of
If the civilians are all walking to a wall like that then it usually means there is something blocking the path. For me usually it means I have to destroy a few cars nearby.
First on my wishlist is for their servers/network to become more stable. Because on esp. Illumincati missions it keeps dropping out, quite often when you're far into a mission. Which sucks as you then get nothing: no xp, no medals, no freedom - no sirreee! Having said that: I have been able to take out a harvester 3 times when dropping in from reinforcement, and that was awesome 🙂
Thats been a feature on YT for nearly a year now, I have no control over that, somewhere in YT's programming it knows to make that glow when the creator says to click it. I wonder if it can glow multiple times per video?
This is just their patrol unit, imagine the full force 1. The Illutionist(If I'm correct) who can mess up your key bindings 2. The Necromancer who can summoned the faster, stronger version of voteless "The Ghoul". 3. The Sorceror who mainly use lightning as their weapons 4. Weaponized Watcher Drone variant.

i haven't stopped playing this game since the game awards (when this update came out). it's so damn fun to fight these guys with the news toys high command has given us
Man, be prepared to make more Helldivers content because what we just fought was just the scouts, the true Iluminate army is incoming now that we proved to be worthy adversaries
Don’t get me wrong, GO HELLDIVERS! But bro I got into one beginner mission to remember the controls, took a nap cause I was tired, then boom they were defeated
Its VERY VERY GOOD that wr beat them and now arrowhead can get feedback on health etc. AND OF COURSE SECRETLY PUT IN A NEW ENEMY OR TWO! 7 DAYS TILL CAR STRATEGEM IS FULLY AVAILABLE!!!!! THE CAR MEMES BEGIN!
The biggest issue with this game for me is the progression system. They needed something similar to what Space Marine 2 has, and for it to work, your character needs to look like its not made for the 360 with low polys armors and such. As is, after 148h into the game, logging in to do what i already did, but this time around against a new faction is not gonna be too entertaining.
I only play when a new warbond gets released… and that’s fine. If they introduced an actual progression system then of course I would play a lot more.😅
hey renn, youtube told me im in the top 0.01% of your watchers so i think you owe me something :D ive sent a parcel containing a gun, a credit card (PIN included) and a note with instructions to your residence. follow those instructions carefully. thanks, love your vids :DD
Imagine gobbling up the schlop cod feeds us every year but hating this game lmao
I love that renn has found his new destiny
It's for the best-iny?
literally thinking the same thing
The moment I unlocked the anti-tank emplacement, it has been glued to my loadout ever since. Double Emplacement gaming is the future

It's like being in the middle of the movie attack of the world but with Guns

@ the worst part is it’s actually a little over what the game tells you

That is way too risky of a move cuz it'll either make good enemy boring or would anger the playerbase
@MrRulet550 I don't see it angering them. Even if it's like the simplest MO just having the players be involved like that just simply sounds fun
Hasn’t this kinda already happened with the whole jet brigade MO saga…

So it WAS Commissar Kai! I knew I recognized that voice!
Harvester.... is just the charger/hulk of the squids.
Imagine the Titan/Factory Strider of the Squids.
In the first game, the Illuminate had a heavier version of the Tripod called a Strider so it's likely we'll get something taller and scarier.
I want that supply pod liberator as a weapon in the future.
I’ve defeated multiple harvester in a beam struggle.
Kamehameha!!!!
9:10 is that WhiteLight?
I love Kai man. He’s so funny and always keeps helldivers fun. Great video!
I haven't played in over 6 months, but I'm "diving" in after watching this vid. 👍
Dont bother the illuminate are already gone.
We beat their initial invasion but they'll be back in a day or 2. If you wanted to play just for the illuminate give it a day before you log in.
They just came back on Genesis so if you've been itching to fight em, GET TO DIVIN SOILDER
I know they are still in the early stage, but honestly, the Squids are the most fun I've had in HD2 in a while! Also, the fact that we are currently losing to a RECON FORCE is funny/terrifying.
Losing? We retook Calypso
@weldonwin We were losing Genesis Prime and Mog last night, but i just saw that we reppelled them there as well. FREEDOM STANDS STRONG!!!
Had to farm some credits first, but now im back liberating squids.
update so good that we, in 4 days, absolutely annihilated them (for now)
Hell yeah a new Renn’s video! I love and enjoy your content man. The work and love you put into your videos works man!

I would also love an only voteless mode in the city like dawn of the dead style
Breaking news...
The illuminate somehow...are back. Again
Me when the tripods sent out that blue beam and I instantly got flash backs of the war of the worlds
Man its good to fight the Covenant.....err I mean the Illuminate
Wellsian Martians
I will tell you that the enemies will team up later on because the other ones from helldivers 1 did
:12
Sweet Liberty, the squids have even turned affordable pre-owned cars against us! The horror!
Somehow the illuminate have returned??? ROS reference

This update is phenomenal, with my favourite part easily being lasering zombies ‘til nothin’ but DEMOCRACY REMAINS!
The same thing with the resupply happened to me! It landed on the overhang and I couldn't get to it
Finally a reason to go back to helldiver's 😂. Thanks renn 💖
Just become a Helldivers TH-camr for now this is awesome
My opinions on the factions
Bots: Stressful
Bugs: Annoying
Illuminate: Easy, but that will change. Feels good.
Now we just need more players in game at once.
Whitelight spotted, opinion valid
Kinda wish I could’ve participated, but I’ll just keep a better eye out then reinstall when the illuminate return.

Im just glad they dont have laser cannon turrets that NEVER SEEM TO GET DESTROYED WHEN I THROW A 500KG AT EM.
So yes this faction is great
Too bad i was plagued with disconects and buggy Gameplay
Because they have the power of RGB!
I wouldn't say its THE best faction rn but once they add the full faction itll probably be
Urban fights are cool though
I don't understand, on game map i still only have no way tonfight against them. Is there a specific thing to do ?
In order to do that you'll first need to leave a comment that makes sense.
i haven't stopped playing this game since the game awards (when this update came out). it's so damn fun to fight these guys with the news toys high command has given us
There will be no more new factions BUT the factions will collide causing a 3 way battle In the future.
Anti-tank turret is one i will take pretty much every map that isn't cyberpunk. Sleeping on that fire turret too. Perfect for cqb
AND THEYRE BAAAAAAACK
Man, be prepared to make more Helldivers content because what we just fought was just the scouts, the true Iluminate army is incoming now that we proved to be worthy adversaries
Is the game worth jumping into for the first time rn? Or not so much? It’s $40 on ps store rn
I would say it's a great time to hop in
It feels like red faction guerilla

Not only a new faction. But you just said it's not a full faction, so yeah...
oh cool a new faction :3
CPU performance absolutely Tanked with this update.
8:44 Good job denying the illuminate future voteless
10:56 don’t do that. Don’t be a douche. Just ask if you can use it
Bugs swarm you, and force you to move. Bots are slow, and use alot of firepower. Squids…. Slowly taking worst of the both fronts☠️
