All Helldivers 2 missions are absurdly epic and this anthology of moments is irrefutable proof

The first hours in Helldivers 2 are a spectacle like no other, especially if you have not seen live action or videos on social networks. I remember that one of my first thoughts revolved around how long it was going to take to immunize myself from their crazy, unbridled, Hollywood action.

I admit that the matter worried me. Losing the ability to freak out Helldivers 2 It would be equivalent to stopping doing so with films like John Wick, Tyler Rake, Bullet Train, Murder Raid and others like that. For me, it would be catastrophic. That moment will come, like everything in life, but it certainly doesn’t seem like it will be soon… at least it hasn’t in almost the 100 hours that I have democratized.

Each game of Helldivers 2 It’s absurdly epic. Not all to the same extent, obviously, but I very rarely end a game without a scene worthy of a compilation of best moments. I’ve already told you some suicidal adventures, so this time it’s going to be an anthology, something like the Rick and Morty episodes that show cuts from other discarded episodes.

Crazy Helldivers 2 Anthology

The damn Second World War. This is by far my favorite moment so far in Helldivers 2. It was the day after the Planetary Perils were introduced. My companions were calling for extraction and I was still far away, surrounded by Terminids and with the resistance bar in red.

I saw a blue glow in the sky as I entered the last 100 meters. Meteorites began to fall (Planetary Danger). Their explosions upon impact were combined with airstrikes and the impacts of my Autocannon. I entered a hybrid state between panic and frenzy, there were one or two explosions per second near me. I was convinced that I wasn’t going to make it… but I kept moving forward without dying.

I remembered the Advance and Assault games in Battlefield 1. I had to drop to the ground several times to avoid the impact of the meteorites. I managed to reach the extraction and asked for supplies to withstand the enemy attack. A colleague was next to me. Suddenly, a projectile blew up my companion and I could only stare like a fool. How was it possible that he wasn’t dead yet? I don’t know how, but I managed to extract without dying. It was a real rush of emotion, which even made me raise my voice on a couple of occasions.

Aggressive Democratization. That day he was tired and fed up with playing. The damn hunting bugs (the ones that fly and whip) managed to get me mad. Besides, I wasn’t with the smartest helldivers. We managed to request extraction and bugs began to appear without any type of control. At that precise moment, the streamer in the background said something like “if you leave with ammo, you’re doing it wrong.” And I thought, “Right.”

I took out my Autocannon and fired like a complete madman at an area where there were two bug spawn points. I pulled the trigger like the ammo was free. So many explosions accumulated in the same place that a huge cloud of dust arose. The bugs couldn’t even get out. The only moment they had of respite was when he reloaded the gun. I boarded the ship without ammunition or anger. Helldivers 2-style therapy!

Laughter and screams of a psychopath. Have I mentioned that the highlights are wonderful? The second time I flew one was during an extraction. It was fun to slaughter small groups of enemies with the mini-gun, but the game started to go overboard when sending out larger critters. My teammates’ flank was hell, so I stopped by to say hello.

Following the philosophy of not running out of ammo, I aimed at the mass of bugs and pulled the triggers of the weapons as if there were no tomorrow. The gatling gun spit out over 700 bullets in the next minute and the 12 rockets it had available ran out much sooner.

We cleared out all the bugs in a matter of seconds, but a Slayer attacked us from behind. I stood in the way of the mecha so that it wouldn’t run over my companions and I literally put the 260 gatling bullets that I had left over from the previous escabechina into its mouth. I didn’t kill him, but I was able to hold him off long enough for my companions to board the ship and for me to barely escape after abandoning the mecha. Pure Pacific Rim!

Purifying Fire. Two weeks ago, Arrowhead had the idea of ​​increasing the damage of the Flamethrower. If I remember correctly, it was 50% more fire damage. I hadn’t tried it because I was happy with my Autocannon, but the damage increase was significant enough to give it a try… And I discovered a wonder! The ultimate pest cleaner.

As usual, I had separated from the group to clear secondary areas alone and thus clear the map faster. Things got very complicated for me when I came to a huge bug nest. There were at least five nests. I followed my modus operandi for these cases: I threw the Orbital Laser and waited for it to work its magic. As a rule, it destroys all nests. That time it wasn’t like that.

There were three left to destroy, enough for dozens of bugs to gather on the screen. I destroyed them with two grenades and an orbital strike, but the party was already set up. I took out my flamethrower and started burning fuel as if they gave it away at the kiosks. I usually prepare to die, but this time I was not ready to fall. But I fell… I got too excited and went straight, so I got burned. My stupidity ruined a glorious feat with the flamethrower. Try it because it’s glory!
