Helldivers call them squids because the Illuminate species is called Squ'ith and are from and evolved in an aquatic world, they look like humanoid squids. ARs are so bad against the Illuminates, which is sad as I like the ARs, it takes almost a full mag from the Liberator Penetrator to kill one stick and jetpack squid. Their hitpoints are a bit too high, even with the Dominator it takes quite a few shots to kill one jetpack fly boi.
Yeah they are tanky but that's how they're supposed to be. They have been around much longer than we have and are a much stronger species. They were easily the hardest in the first game too.
Makes sense that they're tanky since they tend to travel with groups of squishy zombies, I don't see an issue with it personally since they aren't throwing hordes of them at us.
For the Overseers (both jetpack and melee variant), their head is medium armor but one Counter Sniper shot kills them. Their chest and shoulder is Light Armor but the armor pieces can be shot off. Their legs are unarmored.
9:30 "Why's there an arty base and 2 SAM sites in the middle of a city?" For Democracy, of course. And for this exact occasion when somebody tries to turn the entire population into non-voters. Would you rather live in a city with NO artillery and SAM sites when the squids come?

A single mag from Knight to their leg kills them. Focus on their legs and not their head as their head is medium armored.
@@Porker_Hamfries funny, in the first game they were piss easy to kill and were one of the easier faction fight

If you play diff 10 they can easily group up to hordes of them, especially noticable with the Jetpack Overseers.

Fire was lethal for the Squids during HD1
To destroy the ship just shoot the shield normally and then throw granades through the entry
Ah yes, the hell-driver.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
19:43 that is beautiful
For the SEAF Arty and SAM Sites, they were there first and the city grew up around. Happen to alot of castles in Europe and Forts in the USA.
I find that the arc thrower is surprisingly good against them squids.
the blitzer too
so far my favorite loadout vs illuminate:
breaker s+p
grenade pistol
arc thrower
guard dog
strafing run
flame turret (or whatever)
The vehicle will be a strategem
Vs walkers, try hitting the legs where they are close to the head.
I've played like 5 games and still not found the truck! Does it not spawn some games?
I think it's just random yeah which is kinda annoying but oh well we're supposed to get it as a stratagem for ourselves soon
istg some people have forgotten u can charge the scorcher for better AP and damage
Me when I have no clue what I'm talking about:
(The PURIFIER can be charged, Scorcher is full Auto.)
@@K1NG_of_ReVeNGe1 sorry im stupid, remmebered it differently
@@theguyyouwatchfornoreason
Happens to the best of us.
I bet the autocannon would rock
Nope
@@person2991 It does on flak mode
@@person2991 It does solid. Staggers the walkers, which feels good.
Stalwart actually rocks just fine. Most of them were just using light armor.

I heard another channel call the zombie types, "non voters'. I thought that was great, so.
That's what i'm gonna call then too. 😂❤
The voteless is their official name from the trailerpost
