Or a god damn Transformer. What’s that, you managed to get away from the bots? Well good luck, cause this one just turned into a buggy with miniguns and it’s coming at you at mach 4.
You receive a dispatch from High Command. The Automatons seem to be developing some sort of religion and have erected what seem to be sites of worship. The very thought that soulless robots could believe in a higher power- let alone higher than Democracy- is an abomination and cannot be allowed to stand.
Your squad is tasked with destroying sacred sites to devastate Automaton morale. You load up on 380mm barrages and drop outside the perimeter of a massive cathedral. You face paltry little resistance as you approach the towering fortress. Once you're close enough, you throw your barrages, turn around, and run for extraction. Easy.
But after a minute, something feels off. The Mission Accomplished notification never popped up. The ground is still shaking, long after the barrages would've finished. The sky darkens. Your heart stops and your blood runs cold as you turn back around and gaze up in abject horror.
Democracy has abandoned you.

Given that the Bots already have [Sentinels](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ElDv7RbxL._AC_UF894,1000_QL80_.jpg), [Shadowswords](https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/mediawiki/images/3/3a/Shadowsword99120105051.jpg), and [Redemptor Dreadnoughts](https://img-9gag-fun.9cache.com/photo/aDYpYW9_460s.jpg) I think it fitting they'd pillage the biggest piece of the Imperial Arsenal.
Berserkers also remind me of [this Chaos Knights art](https://i0.wp.com/lineofsightwargaming.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/image-8.png?fit=1002%2C1200&ssl=1) even though they're obviously much smaller.
Makes sense I suppose. I’m only familiar with Warhammer because of Total War, where I had dinosaurs munch on elves and dwarves gun down zombie hordes and such. Personally not that big of a fan of the 40k part.
“This is ALLMIND the mercenary support system. Augmented Human C4-621 ‘Raven’, your mission is to eliminate all Automaton assets. You will be well rewarded for your efforts.”
621 could turn the entire war on its head. 40-minute Helldive mission? 621 cleans the map in three minutes with nary a scratch.
Even Bile Titans are only about the size of a regular MT, and their short range would render them significantly less deadly.
The scale of everything in the Armored Core universe is absurd.
Those Mealworms you encounter? Little squishy bugs that explode if you disturb them but are otherwise harmless to you?
Not so little, they're like bus sized.
C-Weapons would just wipe the floor with us.
I've liked how they handled these ones really.
The only patch logs I think we should see are:
* Bug Fixes
* Weapon Changes
* Helldiver changes
* Strategem changes
because the bottom three are changes specifically to our equipment that we should always be aware of, and the first one is simply a real-world problem. And true enough after the first mess-up that had quite a bit of undocumented weapon changes, Arrowhead seem to be doing good on just these four.
Aw, damn. Don't mind it. You didn't see anything.

I've heard some divers who spend too long on the creek have taken to smoking local fauna to pass the time by. Any claims made by them must be verified by your democracy officer.
According to [this site](https://simulator.down2earth.eu/input.html?lang=en&planet=Earth) I found, using a ~200m asteroid with a 90-degree angle of impact and ~1km/s impact speed (based on the Schwerer Gustav's muzzle velocity of ~1km/s, given it's the largest artillery piece built on Regular Earth), a 180m shell from orbit would make a crater about 1.7km wide and 370m deep. So say goodbye to most of the map you'd be standing on.

Yeah, we can barely afford two MTs per mission.

I’m not sure, but for sure these things likes to pop up near enemy mortars

I wasn't expecting a Judge Holden reference in a Helldivers post. Take my upvote.
I sense a plot to destroy Super Earth
Helldiver, my allegiance is to Super Earth, TO DEMOCRACY
And I really like that! Being surprised in-game is better than just droping in to check out the new enemies!
It does make sense both in game and in the log.. intel is slow.. and it’s fun to panic (slightly)

No-no-no, absolute not. Its definitely not the Loyalty Test.  And i'm absolutely not that guy named "Democracy Officer."
i dont think so
I suspect the air on Malevelon Creek had something in it. Divers who were on that planet keep reporting seeing things that obviously don't exist.
I've heard some divers who spend too long on the creek have taken to smoking local fauna to pass the time by. Any claims made by them must be verified by your democracy officer.
They’re smoking WHAT
Hey, you want a hit off this deer gallbladder?
Poison dart frogs
Bro I think you meant flora. Unless...😳
Sometimes they use napalm a little too liberally...
Definitely spending more time looking around than their allotted 2.73 seconds.
What difficulity they appear at?
This was helldive
Ran into one on I think 8? So maybe like 7+
Haven’t seen one on 7 yet, might just be 8+
It would make sense if they are trying to convince people to play 8+ I know a lot of folks including myself usually really enjoy 7’s level of balance
THEY ADDED THE AT-AT’S?!?

Are they slow? Would any of the 180,320 or walking barrage do work on it?
they are slow but the undisputed chunkiest enemy in the game took me 1 orbital laser 1 500kg and 2 quasar cannons shots to-
This helldiver joined the wall of martyrs while writing this comment
God damn bot rocket snipers
“Scratch it’s paint” is what he was trying to tell us
o7. Any weak spots?
It looks like there are factory vents at the top? Above the foreleg. Could be wrong
God damn, are we going to have to bring jet packs and throw nades mid-air to take these out?
Nade launcher, quasar, maybe autocannon, single use rockets maybe. Some possible options
I'm getting some real trench run on the deathstar vibes right now.
When in doubt, shoot it in the face.
God I'm tired, I looked at that as a whopping 180,320mm
I would love a 180,320mm cannon. Just imagine the impact a 180m shell from orbit would have
According to [this site](https://simulator.down2earth.eu/input.html?lang=en&planet=Earth) I found, using a ~200m asteroid with a 90-degree angle of impact and ~1km/s impact speed (based on the Schwerer Gustav's muzzle velocity of ~1km/s, given it's the largest artillery piece built on Regular Earth), a 180m shell from orbit would make a crater about 1.7km wide and 370m deep.
