00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,400
Koffreism sponsoring this show.

2
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,560
We're the only ones who keep you in the loop.

3
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,560
With tech updates,

4
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,720
GMR 107 has it all.

5
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:40,720
The whole time and month of data,

6
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:42,720
months will show.

7
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,920
When crisis calls and the sirens sound,

8
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,920
Bulldogs stop the scoop,

9
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:49,920
We're scared deep deep down.

10
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,920
Tech updates, panelists you trust.

11
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:55,920
And frontline reports.

12
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,520
At Table 3, there's no time to stall.

13
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,560
Colonel Hammond, the panelist for-

14
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,560
...

15
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,760
Good afternoon citizens of SuperEarth.

16
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:14,640
This is Joe Turner bringing you the latest updates from the frontlines on GMR 107's

17
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,640
Morning Wartime Update.

18
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,800
Today, we have a plethora of critical announcements and victories to share.

19
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,800
Let's dive right into it.

20
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,120
Before we get to the most recent news,

21
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,680
today's wartime update is going to be a little different.

22
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,520
With most recent news up front, there's been some changes to the whole broadcast.

23
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:36,000
More information will be provided near the end of the show for those who are interested.

24
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,280
New major order.

25
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:42,720
As of noon of today, the Helldivers have been ordered to reclaim more ground from the automatons.

26
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,320
However, the enemy has deployed orbital cannons across their territories.

27
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:51,360
Liberating a bot planet will only allow temporary return to normal extraction.

28
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,480
If two planets are liberated within 12 hours of each other,

29
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,240
shorter extraction times will be possible for the remainder of the order.

30
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,640
So get out there and get out there now.

31
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,120
The automaton forces remain split in two.

32
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:08,240
We must maintain the offensive momentum, however the automatons have devised a new means by which

33
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:09,920
they retain the stolen territory.

34
00:02:09,920 --> 00:02:11,680
Destroy the orbital cannons.

35
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:16,320
Every day the automaton occupation continues and another of our citizens' dreams are stolen.

36
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:22,800
First up, a major order has been won by our Helldivers in a swift and decisive operation

37
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:27,520
our brave soldiers have successfully demonstrated a commitment to scientific progress and democratic

38
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:28,720
supremacy.

39
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:33,200
Thanks to their efforts, the Ministry of Science now has ample data to further ongoing terminated

40
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:34,000
research efforts.

41
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,760
However, the Ministry of Science has identified the terminated mutations decrease in frequency

42
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,760
as the proximity to super-Earth increases.

43
00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:47,840
This intriguing finding suggests the genetic variants originate deep within terminated space.

44
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:53,520
Further investigation is required and more missions are expected to gather additional data.

45
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,200
Moving on, we celebrate a significant victory on Vineyard 3.

46
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,120
Helldivers have successfully defended the planet from terminated forces, ensuring the

47
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:02,160
safety of our citizens.

48
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,360
Remaining troops are now being deployed to other critical fronts.

49
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,040
Super-Earth thanks you for your service.

50
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,400
Unfortunately, not all news is victorious.

51
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,400
Our forces have faced defeats on Borrock and Copas of Thor.

52
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,320
Automaton and terminated combatants have forced our Helldivers to retreat.

53
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:23,200
Immediate forces is required to reclaim these planets and continue our mission for galactic

54
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:23,760
liberation.

55
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:26,640
Luckily, not all bad news.

56
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:30,240
Our Helldivers have liberated multiple other planets from terminated control.

57
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:35,040
These victories remark significant steps toward the ultimate goal of completing galactic freedom.

58
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:39,280
The remaining troops from these victories are being redirected to new fronts, continuing

59
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:40,400
the fire for Super-Earth.

60
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:45,120
In terms of new directives, the Ministry of Science has issued a second larger research

61
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,640
trial following the success of the initial terminated research initiative.

62
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:54,640
High Command has authorized a series of augmentations of stratagems to support this trial.

63
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,640
Be prepared for the increase in terminated aggression and expansion as a result.

64
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,520
On another note, we have an important update regarding our surveillance systems.

65
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:09,040
We were successfully back online after a cybersecurity software update caused an unexpected outage

66
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,720
for all destroyer surveillance systems.

67
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:16,400
Technicians were working diligently to restore these services and all personnel had to maintain

68
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,640
a manual record of their behavior.

69
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,160
Lastly, new tech is rolling out to all Helldivers.

70
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:29,120
The LS-98 laser cannon stratagem is temporarily authorized for all use by all troops.

71
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:35,440
In the RL-77 airburst rocket, launcher is now available for all those fighting on the

72
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:35,920
Penta.

73
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,440
These new weapons will provide a significant boost to our offensive capabilities.

74
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,840
That wraps up our most recent updates.

75
00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:48,160
Remember, every effort you make brings us one step closer to the ultimate victory.

76
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,920
Stay vigilant, stay strong, and always fight for Super-Earth.

77
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,920
We'll be right back after this break.

78
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,920
We have some special announcements coming up with a new weapons segment and a Bulldog

79
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:05,920
getting an exclusive interview about the X-45.

80
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:35,920
This medium dark roast boasts flavors of cocoa and toasted nut, offering a full-bodied experience

81
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:36,720
with each sip.

82
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:44,560
Now available in the link above, with every purchase $6 goes towards GNR 107 to keep you

83
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,480
informed about the war effort.

84
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:47,920
Now available for purchase.

85
00:05:47,920 --> 00:06:04,400
The following is pre-recorded and has been approved by Super-Earth Command.

86
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:32,400
This is Bulldog, reporting live from the aftermath of the fierce battle at X-45.

87
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:38,000
Today, we're taking you behind the scenes with the scientists who uncovered the plans

88
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:48,880
for the interplanetary battle station, thanks to the valiant defense of our Helldivers.

89
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,320
Let me set the scene for you.

90
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:56,800
The magical landscape ravaged by combat, the ground still warm from the energy blasts.

91
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:03,040
Amid this chaos, our scientists have been working tirelessly, picking through the remains

92
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:04,560
of the enemy research station.

93
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,360
Good to see you, Bulldog.

94
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:12,640
Thanks to these recovered plans, we're standing on the precipice of a technological revolution.

95
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,920
Dr. Voss, what exactly have we found here?

96
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:22,080
The plans detail a massive interplanetary battle station capable of coordinating strikes

97
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:23,360
across multiple fronts.

98
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:28,480
The sheer scale of this project is daunting, but with these plans, we're looking at a

99
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,960
significant boost in our strategic capabilities.

100
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,800
And how long until we see this battle station come to life?

101
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,680
Completion of a project of this magnitude will take time.

102
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:43,360
We're talking years of research and development, but today's victory has made this possible.

103
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,120
The plans themselves are a blueprint for the future of our defenses.

104
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,360
That's incredible, Doctor.

105
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,560
But what about the fate of X-45 itself?

106
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,160
The research station here has been destroyed.

107
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,760
The automatons will find nothing but lightly irradiated ash.

108
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,360
It's a clear message that we won't leave anything for our enemies.

109
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:09,760
Furthermore, we've managed to ship the remaining MLS-4X commandos off-planet.

110
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:15,680
Dr. Patel, can you tell us more about the MLS-4X's role moving forward?

111
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:22,880
Bulldog, with the commandos safely off-planet, we can ramp up production of the new weapon

112
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:24,720
systems they were developing.

113
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:32,000
These weapons will soon be available fleet-wide, significantly enhancing our offensive capabilities.

114
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,000
Helldivers, listen up.

115
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,880
The rapid production of these weapons means they'll be ready for requisition across the

116
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:39,920
fleet shortly.

117
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,920
This victory at X-45 isn't just a win for today.

118
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,200
It's a turning point for our future engagements.

119
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:53,200
And remember, you can consult the galactic map on your ship for more detailed information

120
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,200
on the future of our defenses.

121
00:08:55,200 --> 00:09:00,000
And remember, you can consult the galactic map on your ship for more detailed information

122
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,000
on our next moves.

123
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,800
The fight isn't over, but we've gained a decisive edge with these advancements.

124
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:14,240
This is Bulldog, standing firm on the front lines, reminding you all, if it's not rough,

125
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,240
it's not right.

126
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:20,320
Stay sharp, Helldivers, and keep fighting the good fight.

127
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,120
That was Bulldog.

128
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,120
We'll be taking a short break.

129
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:31,120
When we come back, the table of three.

130
00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:00,400

131
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:05,840

132
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:12,320
Originating from a long-lost server, the Rising Phoenix has risen anew, stronger and more

133
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:13,200

134
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:15,120
Our mission?

135
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:19,680
To uphold the major orders of Super Earth Command, delivering maximum liberty to automatons

136
00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:20,400
and Terminids.

137
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:24,640
So, what are you waiting for?

138
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,440
Spread your wings and join the Rising Phoenix today.

139
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,840
Reborn from ash, victorious together.

140
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,320
Together, we'll conquer any challenge that comes our way.

141
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,040
Attention, Helldivers.

154
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:54,640
Welcome back to GNR 107's wartime update.

155
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:58,960
I'm Ivy Carrington, and today we have a special segment where we dive into the assault rifles

156
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:00,480
that every Helldiver needs to know.

157
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:05,600
Two of our best research journalists, Rex Donovan and Lara Simmons, are joining me.

158
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:06,560
Let's jump right in.

159
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:11,680
Our first weapon is the AR-23 Liberator, the standard issue for every Helldiver.

160
00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:16,480
It's known for its balance, of power, fire rate, and weight, making it a reliable choice

161
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:17,680
for rookies and veterans.

162
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:19,680
That's right, Ivy.

163
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,960
The AR-23 has a variable zoom scope, allowing you to engage enemies from various distances.

164
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,880
The select fire options help make precise shots or conserve ammo.

165
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,680
It even has a flashlight and laser mounted under the barrel, which can be set to auto

166
00:12:33,680 --> 00:12:36,560
mode for night missions or left on or off as needed.

167
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,760
And don't forget the aspect of teamwork, Rex.

168
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,920
The laser is visible to friendlies, so they always know where you're pointing.

169
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:49,360
It's a small feature, but it makes a big difference in coordinated strikes.

170
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:54,160
Plus, who doesn't love a little laser tag action in the middle of a firefight?

171
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,760
The AR-23's specs are impressive.

172
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:03,600
Standard damage of 60, max penetration of 2, and a fire rate of 640 RPM.

173
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:08,160
It holds 45 rounds per magazine and comes with 7 spare mags.

174
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,720
It's perfect for light armor penetration with firing modes including auto, semi, and burst.

175
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,080
Scope options range from 25mm to 100mm.

176
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,360
And let's remember the latest updates, Ivy.

177
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:25,440
The AR-23 received a significant update on its release date, April Sec 2224,

178
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:29,440
with the damage increased from 55 to 60 in the latest specification,

179
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:33,200
numbered 300 rolled out on April 29th, 2-2-T-4.

180
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,560
Laura Simmons, just in time for my birthday.

181
00:13:36,560 --> 00:13:38,800
Best gift ever. More firepower.

182
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,400
Now let's move on to the next variant in the AR-23 family.

183
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,240
Next up is the AR-23P Liberator Penetrator,

184
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:50,160
a modified version of the AR-23 designed to tackle armored targets.

185
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,200
Rex, can you tell us more about this specialized weapon?

186
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,920
The AR-23P is built for taking down medium armored targets.

187
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,920
It's not as effective against hordes,

188
00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:03,760
but shines against tougher enemies like bile spewers and devastators.

189
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,200
It sacrifices some damage output for higher penetration,

190
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,800
with standard damage at 45 and max penetration of 3.

191
00:14:11,680 --> 00:14:16,720
It also features a specialized scope, with options ranging from 25mm to 150mm.

192
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:23,760
What's really nice is the fire rate of 640 RPM and DPS of 480.

193
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,400
It's a solid choice for focused firepower.

194
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:30,960
The magazine capacity is 30 rounds, but it comes with 10 spare mags,

195
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,760
so you won't run out of ammo quickly.

196
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:38,560
And like the AR-23, it has semi, burst, and full firing modes.

197
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,320
I've heard it's also great for making new friends on the battlefield.

198
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,920
Well, not really friends, more like… well, if you know you know.

199
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,080
Just remember folks, aim for the baddies, not your buddies.

200
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:51,920
Friendly fire is not so friendly.

201
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,720
Luckily no Helldivers have had a friendly fire incident.

202
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,880
We're back starting a new segment focusing on individual assault rifles

203
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,200
used by Helldivers.

204
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:05,600
To kick things off, we'll be discussing the AR-23C Liberator Concussive.

205
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,920
The AR-23C Liberator Concussive is a modified Liberator

206
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,760
featuring concussive rounds that do less damage but stagger enemies.

207
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,800
Taylor, can you give us a quick overview of this weapon?

208
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,560
Absolutely Ivy, the AR-23C is designed for crowd control.

209
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,960
While lower in damage, it fires concussive rounds that can stagger medium sized targets,

210
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:29,040
making it an excellent choice for stopping enemies in fair tracks.

211
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:33,520
Its fire rate is 320 RPM, with a magazine capacity of 30 rounds.

212
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:37,280
That's right Rex, it has a unique role on the battlefield.

213
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:42,720
While it might not be the highest DPS weapon, its ability to disrupt and control the enemy

214
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,600
can be a game changer in tight situations.

215
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,600
And let's not forget it's a strong crowd control option.

216
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,120
It might not clear hordes quickly, but it stops them from advancing,

217
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,480
giving your team crucial time to reposition or take them out.

218
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:58,240
Let's break down the stats.

219
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:04,080
The AR-23C has a standard damage of 65, penetrating light armor with an AP rating of 2.

220
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,680
It comes with 10 spare magazines and has a recoil of 28.

221
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,160
What makes these stats stand out to you Alex?

222
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:14,880
Well Ivy, the combination of its recoil and penetration is interesting.

223
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,960
With a recoil 28, it's manageable but requires a steady hand.

224
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:23,520
The penetration rating of AP2 means it's effective against lightly armored targets,

225
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,080
which is great for its role in crowd control.

226
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,880
And the damage of 65 might seem low compared to other rifles,

227
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,280
but the concussive effect makes it valuable.

228
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,720
That 35 point stagger force stops enemies in their tracks,

229
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,040
making it easier for your team to handle them.

230
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:44,080
Yes exactly, and with a tactical reload time of just 2 seconds,

231
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,080
you can quickly get back into the fight.

232
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:50,800
The initial velocity of 800 menace ensures your shots hit fast,

233
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,200
which is crucial in fast-paced engagements.

234
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:55,120
Let's talk tactics.

235
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,480
How should Helldivers effectively use the AR-23C in combat?

236
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,280
The key is to use it for crowd control.

237
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,880
Its concussive rounds can stagger multiple enemies,

238
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:09,600
giving you time to switch to a higher DPS weapon or for your teammates to finish them off.

239
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:14,400
It's particularly effective in close quarters where you need to control the flow of the enemy.

240
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:18,880
Also, pairing it with a support weapon that can handle crowds is essential.

241
00:17:21,120 --> 00:17:24,720
The Stalwart Machine Gun or a grenade launcher with a supply sack

242
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,280
can complement the AR-23C's strengths.

243
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:34,080
Remember, the AR-23C is about control, not just damage.

244
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:37,680
And always aim for the head.

245
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,760
Not only does this help conserve ammo, but it also maximizes the stagger effect,

246
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,560
making it even more difficult for enemies to retaliate.

247
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:51,360
In summary, the AR-23C Liberator Concussive offers unparalleled crowd control capabilities,

248
00:17:51,360 --> 00:17:54,400
making it a crucial addition to any Helldivers arsenal.

249
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,240
While it may require strategic pairing with a higher DPS weapon,

250
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,440
its ability to stagger and control enemies is unmatched.

251
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:03,040
Absolutely.

252
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,560
It's all about knowing when and how to use it to maximize its potential.

253
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,680
Each mission demands the right tools.

254
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,920
And the AR-23C is perfect.

255
00:18:13,120 --> 00:18:16,480
For those needing to manage large groups of enemies effectively.

256
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,400
Whether facing waves of foes or needing to control the battlefield,

257
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,360
the AR-23C ensures you have the tactical edge.

258
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:30,640
Following along with specializations, we have the AR-23C Liberator Concussive.

259
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:33,840
Lara, could you give us the details you've been researching?

260
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,000
Certainly, Ivy.

261
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:40,240
The AR-23C is tailored for crowd control with its concussive rounds.

262
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,520
It's perfect for clearing out groups of lighter enemies.

263
00:18:44,980 --> 00:18:47,140
The damage is slightly lower at 50,

264
00:18:47,140 --> 00:18:53,120
but the concussive effect compensates by staggering multiple control with its concussive rounds.

265
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,200
It's perfect for clearing out groups of lighter enemies.

266
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,400
The damage is slightly lower at 50,

267
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:07,400
The damage is slightly lower at 50, but the concussive effect compensates by staggering multiple enemies.

268
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:13,400
It features the same firing modes and a scope range of 25 milers to 100 milers.

269
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:23,400
Its magazine capacity is also 45 rounds with 7 spare mags, ensuring you can handle prolonged engagements without needing constant reloads.

270
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,400
It's like a party popper, but for Helldivers.

271
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:34,400
Exactly, Rex. And nothing says, manage democracy like a good concussive round to the face of an enemy horde.

272
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:43,400
The AR-23 series, we have the AR-23A Liberator Carbine. Rex, what can you tell us about it?

273
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:52,400
The AR-23A is a lightweight version designed for speed and mobility. It has a damage output at 60, but offers a higher fire rate of 920 RPM.

274
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:59,400
This makes it ideal for quick close quarters combat. It holds 45 rounds per magazine and comes with 7 spare mags.

275
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:07,400
Its lightweight design and faster fire rate make it a great choice for Helldivers who prefer a more agile combat style.

276
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:12,400
Like the others, it features multiple firing modes and a versatile scope range.

277
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:21,400
Perfect for those who like to get up close and personal with their enemies. Don't forget to hit them with the rifle before you blast them away.

278
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,400
Yeah, nothing like a good melee to the face.

279
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:38,400
In summary, the AR-23 series offers a range of options to suit different combat scenarios, from the versatile standard Liberator to the specialized Penetrator, Concussive, and Carbine models.

280
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:45,400
Each variant has its strengths, making the AR-23 a reliable foundation for any Helldiver's arsenal.

281
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:51,400
With the AR-23A having a recoil of 26 makes it the second most unwieldy AR in the family.

282
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:57,400
But worth it when you turn a corner and unload into an enemy. We will be right back after this short break.

283
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:10,400
Are you interested in supporting this podcast? Not financially, but by becoming a voice actor.

284
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:15,400
Well, good news. We are currently interested in seeking voice actors for the show.

285
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:22,400

290
00:21:54,400 --> 00:22:08,400

291
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:21,400

298
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:46,400
Little clash, flames ignite, day surrenders to the night.

299
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:53,400
Stealing fire, fierce cruel song, nightmares dance, they linger long.

300
00:23:53,400 --> 00:24:01,400
Shattered lives, homes turned dust, vagueness placed, betrayed by trust.

301
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:08,400
In the ashes, stories lie, of a love that couldn't die.

302
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:12,400
Boom, boom, boom, the echoes ring.

303
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,400
Boom, boom, boom, memories cling.

304
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:19,400
Through the night and through the day.

305
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:37,400
Boom, boom, boom, won't fade away.

306
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:41,400
Years will pass and wounds will mend.

307
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,400
Echoes whisper in the end.

308
00:24:45,400 --> 00:25:07,400
In the dawn, new hope is born, from the darkness we are reborn.

309
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:25,400
Thanks for watching!
