Good evening citizens of Super Earth, this is Joe Turner, broadcasting live from Super
Earth Command with today's most critical updates, urgent deployment orders, and frontline reports.
Tonight we stand united against relentless threats, but our resolve has never been stronger.
We begin with breaking news from planet Calypso, where the largest deployment of Helldivers
ever recorded has arrived. A staggering 180,000 brave souls have hit the ground launching an
all-out offensive against the Illuminant.
SE Command now projects an 81% probability for securing total victory by December. The
tide of the war is shifting thanks to our unyielding sacrifice.
Good victory comes with a price. Following a brutal campaign against the Terminids, our
forces were forced to retreat from Getteria. The bugs may have claimed the planet for now,
but CE Command has reaped deployed over 9,500 Helldivers ready for a full-scale liberation.
And in disturbing development, the democracy space station DSS remains offline after suspected
sabotage triggered catastrophic system failures. A station-wide lockdown is in effect, and
enhanced security screenings are underway. Stay vigilant. Loyalty to SuperEarth is not
just expected. It's essential.
Tonight's mission is clear. Enlist, deploy, and defend.
SE Command is calling on all able-bodied citizens to action. Your orders, liberate Calypso,
reclaim Getteria, and crush the aliens' scourge before they take another step toward our homes.
Coming up next, cutting-edge tech updates and game-changing combat strategies straight
from the front lines. Stay locked in, stay ready. This is Joe Turner, and you're tuned
in to the daily wartime update.
SuperEarth, prepare yourselves. Episode 2 of the Halloween Offensive is almost here.
In this chilling chapter, the team ventures into the unknown, where danger hides in the
shadows and survival is anything but certain. Mysteries deepen, people are tested, and an
invisible threat emerges that will push them to their limits. Starring Umbriel as Bulldog,
more like what you'd call hunters these days. See, back then, stalkers weren't as dangerous.
Brady Flanagan as the First Sergeant.
Well, do you want to tell them, or am I telling the story?
Kat as Lieutenant Grayson.
Don't worry, Sergeant. If we find anything, we'll be sure to leave you some bugs to play
with.
And more incredible voices delivering gripping performances.
I'm your six, Lieutenant. I've got movement.
Oh, thanks. So basically, we're hunting ghosts.
What secrets will they uncover? What sacrifices will they make? Find out in Episode 2 of the
Halloween Offensive. Click the link now and watch Episode 1, because the real nightmare
is just beginning.
We've received critical updates from Cief Command on the Illuminate threat, after a
century of absence.
Apologies for this interruption. This just in. Major Order One.
S.E. Command released a new update. Success. The Illuminate forces have been eradicated
on Calypso. Thousands remain unaccounted for. Multiple units have reported human-like combatants
on the battlefield. Investigations into these reports are ongoing. Despite the audacity
of this shocking and unprovoked assault, the Helldivers once again prove their unmatched
martial prowess. The enemy has retreated in defeat. Cief recon units will soon hunt down
any remnants. As soon as they are located, they will be eradicated. The resurgent Illuminate
has been repelled by the Helldivers. Consult the Galactic Map on your ships for additional
information. Back to your regularly scheduled program.
These ancient autocrats known as the Squeath have launched a full-scale assault on Calypso,
sparking the Second Galactic War. Hold on. I'm getting something from the comms desk.
One moment. Attention all Helldivers. This just in from Super Earth Command. After thorough
research, Helldivers have discovered the greatest weak spot of the Illuminate Harvester, also
known as the Tripod. The joint connecting the leg to the rest of its body is its most
vulnerable point. When utilizing heavy weaponry like the RR, ET, or last 99 Quasar, aim for
the joints for maximum damage and make sure those shields are downed. Now, where were
we? Right, here's what Cief Intelligence has confirmed about the enemy profiles currently
known. The enemy profile. Voteless, swarming foot soldiers driven by endless zeal. Agile
and relentless, they excel at overwhelming through sheer numbers. Watchers, flying recon
drones armed with lethal arc weaponry. Take them out fast. They call reinforcements if
left unchecked. Overseers and elevated overseers. Elite infantry with personal shields, devastating
melee attacks, and explosive projectile capabilities. Elevated model sport jet packs, making them
highly mobile and deadly from range. Harvesters, towering war machines equipped with energy
shields and high power laser artillery. Shields must be destroyed before any damage can be
done. Engage cautiously. Field reports also warn of warp ships, airborne platforms deploying
continuous reinforcements. Destruction is mandatory to disrupt enemy ground support.
Super Earth Command isn't sitting idle, folks. The Urban Legends Warbond Initiative is rolling
out game changing tech, and trust me, you're going to want this in your loadout. Let's
talk about the armed resupply pods booster. Imagine calling in a standard resupply pod,
except this one doesn't just drop gear. The second it hits the ground, it sets up shop
as a fully armed turret, ready to unload on anything hostile. These pods are perfect for
holding down key positions, or giving you some breathing room when enemies just won't
quit. Drop one near an objective, and suddenly you've got backup that never panics or misses.
Now heads up, ammo is limited, so think before you deploy. These aren't set it and forget
it gadgets. Place them where they'll make the biggest impact, like guarding a critical
flank or covering a narrow pass where enemies funnel through. But that's not all the Warbond
is packing. Consider the flame sentry, a portable turret that spits fire like a dragon with
a grudge. Ideal for stopping light infantry dead in their tracks, especially in tight
quarters or during defensive stands. Just be sure to keep it away from critical gear,
it's not exactly subtle. Or how about the arc thrower? This electric powerhouse can
lock down multiple targets, stunning entire enemy squads long enough for you to mop up
or reposition. Perfect when you need crowd control in a hurry. Looking for something
sturdier? The anti-tank emplacement has arrived, packing 30 high impact rounds that can shred
even the toughest enemies, including harvesters and enemy drop ships. Use it wisely and you'll
see the tide turn in seconds. Need something more personal? The siege ready armor boosts
your primary weapon reload speed by 30% and increases ammo capacity by 20%, ideal for
heavy gunners and anyone facing prolonged battles. For those working as a team, the
directional shield offers unparalleled squad protection. This wide energy barrier shields
your team while letting them fire back without breaking cover. Just remember, it won't block
melee or explosive attacks. The stun lance and stun baton provide close combat superiority,
stunning enemy swarms like the voteless. While ineffective against heavy armor, they excel
at crowd control, making them invaluable in intense skirmishes. The Warbond program isn't
just about flashy tech. It's about keeping you in the fight longer. It's about turning
the tide when the odds are stacked against you. Trust in the gear, trust in each other,
and stay sharp out there. Let's talk enhancements from CEEF's Research Division. The Recon
vehicle is redefining frontline mobility. Its speed and firepower make it ideal for
hit and run strikes. Keep fuel reserves in mind and plan extraction routes carefully.
Squad coordination has a new ally in the directional shield. This horizontal energy barrier shields
teammates while allowing them to fire through. Perfect for coordinated assaults. Just be
aware of melee and explosive vulnerabilities. Close quarters combat specialists meet the
stun lance and stun baton. These melee tools excel at stunning enemy swarms like the voteless.
While ineffective against heavy armor, they shine in controlling the battlefield when
paired with tactical precision. Siege ready armor has hit deployment lines. This advanced
gear boosts primary weapon reload speed by 30% and increases ammo capacity by 20%. Crossbow
users, plasma gunners, and any helldiver facing prolonged engagements should make it standard
issue. Finally, the game changing anti-tank emplacement has entered active service. With
30 high impact rounds capable of devastating harvesters, hulks, and even enemy drop ships,
this turret can change the course of battle with precise targeting. Position carefully,
fire decisively, and watch enemy forces fall. Helldivers, the path to freedom is forged
through fire and your dedication to freedom. We will be back after this short break.
Coff freedom is brewed for the brave and served steaming with valor. As you face the mornings
battles let Coff freedom bring you joy every morning. The preferred beverage of all helldivers
and the proud sponsor of GNR 107. The Cascades coffee blend delivers a rich and robust delight
for your mornings. Packed in a 12 ounces bag, this medium dark roast boasts flavors of cocoa
and toasted nut, offering a full bodied experience with each sip. Now available in the link above
with every purchase $6 goes towards GNR 107 to keep you informed about the war effort.
Now available for purchase. As of December 13th, the largest deployment
of Helldivers ever recorded has arrived on planet Calypso. An estimated 180,000 Helldivers
have hit the ground. Pushing the front lines forward with relentless determination, CE
Command now projects an 81% probability of securing total victory by the end of December.
The tide is turning thanks to you. However, there is no time for celebration. Our forces
have suffered a setback on Agueteria. After relentless battles against the terminated
forces, Helldiver units were forced to retreat. The dirty bugs took the planet. But let this
serve as motivation, not despair. SE Command has already deployed 9,000 Helldivers for
an all out liberation campaign. Together we will reclaim what's ours.
Now for the concerning development. The Democracy Space Station has been taken offline due to
catastrophic system failures, suspected to be an act of sabotage. All personnel are undergoing
enhanced security screenings at the station, and the station remains under lockdown for
repairs. Stay vigilant, loyalty to Super Earth is paramount.
SE Command is calling on all able bodies of Helldivers for immediate deployment for missions.
Liberate Calypso. Hold Guteria and push back the alien scourge. If you've got the Spirit
of Liberty in your veins, now is the time to prove it.
Speaking of preparedness, SE Command has just released new tactical updates. In cutting
edge tech, designed to give every Helldiver the edge needed to dominate the battlefield.
Stay with us as we dive into the latest innovations in this tech and tactical briefing, coming
up next. This is Joe Turner bringing you the latest
direct from Super Earth Command. Our forces remain locked in battle across multiple fronts.
Planet Calypso continues to be an epic center of the war effort, with Helldivers holding
the line against relentless Illuminate assaults. For a closer look at the action, we take you
live to the front lines with our embedded field reporter.
The Arc Thrower, once an underdog, is now proving to be the ultimate equalizer against
the Illuminates. Its stunning electrical charge locks down even the largest enemies, leaving
them paralyzed and vulnerable. Moments ago, we saw a squad take down an entire wave of
overseers using precise coordination. With the Arc Thrower chaining through enemy ranks,
the results were brutal and absolute, entire formations fried in seconds. But the enemy
isn't giving up. Heavy harvesters backed by waves of boatless continue to press hard.
Thermite grenades are proving ineffective against their armored plating, forcing squads
to adapt quickly. As we speak, another squad is holding the line near the extraction point.
They're relying solely on the Arc Thrower's chaining power to keep the enemy back long
enough for an evac shuttle to arrive. Extraction is underway. Helldivers scrambling for the
last evac shuttle while fending off relentless enemy waves. Every second counts. Reporting
live from the Warfront on Calypso, we press on.
Thank you for the gripping report from the front lines. The bravery and resolve of our
Helldivers is unmatched. But war isn't just fought on the battlefield. It's shaped by
the decisions made in command rooms and strategic war councils. Up next, we take you to the
strategic insight where top military minds clash over critical decisions shaping the
war effort. Expect sharp analysis, fierce debate, and no easy answers. Stay tuned. This
is Joe Turner.

Welcome back to Strategic Insight, the only place where tactical thinking meets unfiltered
truth. I'm Bulldog, and tonight we tackle a question burning through every war room
across Super Earth. Are we ready for the Illuminate's full-scale war? With me are two of the sharpest
minds in the field, Captain Marcus Rydell, pushing for aggressive counteroffenses, and
Dr. Alina Harker, cautioning against overextension. Let's drop into the fray.
This isn't desperation, Bulldog. It's resolve. We're bringing the fight to the Illuminate
with everything we've got. Our new weapon tech, like the Arc Thrower and enhanced RR
Launchers, gives us a lethal edge. We're finally turning defense into domination.
Captain Rydell, SEAF Command's recent push of 180,000 Helldivers to Calypso is being
called our last best shot. Are we seizing the moment, or setting ourselves up for disaster?
Absolutely. The Illuminate have been fighting wars longer than we've existed. They adapt
fast, too fast. Throwing Helldivers at Calypso without locking down Orbital Superiority is
tactical hubris. Orbital Superiority is coming, Doctor. Our fleets are en route. Meanwhile,
ground forces have proven they can disrupt Illuminate command nodes with shock tactics
and coordinated assaults.
Doctor Harker, you've argued before that large-scale deployments like this are risky
at best. Do you still think we're biting off more than we can chew?
And what happens when the Illuminate counter with dimensional strikes? Their teleport tech
makes the save zones a myth. We've already lost key supply routes twice because of their
ambushes.
Sounds like you're both drawing battle lines here. Captain, are we playing into their hands
by committing everything to Calypso?
Not if we hit them first. We know their weaknesses now. Harvester legs, command relays, target
them and crush their ability to fight.
Sounds like we're stuck between a hammer and an anvil, folks.
And when they adapt, they've turned defeats into traps before. We need a fallback plan,
not just brute force.
Hold that thought. We've just received a live update from SEAF Command. Classified Illuminate
structures detected near Calypso's southern ridge. New strike orders incoming. Looks like
this debate's about to get very real.
That's all for Strategic Insight. Stay locked in. Next up, the Command Directive, where we
break down SEAF's latest combat protocols.
We've been tuned in to GNR's comprehensive warfront coverage where truth meets action.
Let's recap tonight's most critical updates.
Super Earth forces surge forward on planet Calypso, deploying a record-breaking 180,000
Helldivers.
SE Command reports an 81% probability of total victory by December.
Our forces face a brutal setback after a relentless assault by both the Terminids and automatons
– this war is far but over.
Meanwhile, the Democracy Space Station remains on lockdown after suspected sabotage caused
by catastrophic system failures.
On the tech front, SEAF Command unveiled groundbreaking tactical gear through the Urban Legends Warbond
Initiative. Game-changing assets like the anti-tank emplacement and siege-ready armor
promise to redefine the battlefield dominance.
Additionally, Helldivers and SEAF Command gave us critical combat tips on illuminate
weaknesses. Remember, target the Harvester joints and disable enemy warp ships before
reinforcements flood the battlefield.
On our frontline report, you got a direct glimpse into the fierce battles raging on
Calypso.
Their courage reminds us all this war is far but over.
And finally, in the strategic insight, military minds clash over the future of the war.
Super Earth, this fight isn't just for survival, it's for the future of humanity.
Stay vigilant, stay resilient, and never lose sight of what we're fighting for.
I'm Joe Turner, reminding you that democracy is not given, it's earned.
One battle at a time.
Until next time, stay sharp, stay ready, and press on.
Psst, psst, psst, psst, psst, psst.
Steal our hearts, raise heads high, we'll fight strong through storm and sky.
Dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum.
Liberty calls, answer the fight, pull the line through day and night.
Dum da da dum, they stole our voice, they took our home.
Crushed our dreams, turned hearts to stone.
Break the chains, shatter control.
Freedom burns within our soul.
Dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum.
Press ahead, don't fall back, victories are strike first, attack!
