In the heart of the night, we're bringing 00:00:33.950 --> 00:00:36.509 the news. Updates from the front, the war we 00:00:36.509 --> 00:00:39.210 choose. Tech's advancing, strategies unfold. 00:00:39.649 --> 00:00:42.570 Stories of heroes, both brave and bold. Here's 00:00:42.570 --> 00:00:45.570 your daily wartime update. Super Earth's fight 00:00:45.570 --> 00:00:49.090 is never late. Joe Turner's got your vital dose. 00:00:49.229 --> 00:00:52.189 With Penny and Bulldog, we're keeping you close. 00:00:56.530 --> 00:00:59.710 Across the stars, the battles rage. We're watching 00:00:59.710 --> 00:01:02.469 the war every step, every stage. Field reports 00:01:02.469 --> 00:01:05.269 from the front lines near. Morale is high, there's 00:01:05.269 --> 00:01:08.709 no need to fear. Here's your daily wartime update. 00:01:08.989 --> 00:01:11.810 Tech and tactics, now that's great. Stay tuned, 00:01:11.969 --> 00:01:14.829 the fight's in full stride. We've got the news 00:01:14.829 --> 00:01:22.760 from Super Earthside. Tune in tonight for updates 00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:26.260 that shine, 8 p .m. CST, it's wartime time! DNR 00:01:26.260 --> 00:01:29.659 107, I'm Joe Turner, welcome back to the front. 00:01:29.819 --> 00:01:32.840 It's the 24th of April, super is standard, and 00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:35.540 the galaxy is burning hotter than ever. In tonight's 00:01:35.540 --> 00:01:38.599 broadcast, we've got critical field diagnostics 00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:41.459 from Penny Lively, sector -by -sector war analysis 00:01:41.459 --> 00:01:44.140 from yours truly, and a frontline report from 00:01:44.140 --> 00:01:46.420 Bulldog, transmitting from the Fortified Command 00:01:46.420 --> 00:01:50.280 Shelter. near Finyear 3. The major order expires 00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:53.099 in just under 18 hours. What we choose to defend 00:01:53.099 --> 00:01:55.760 tonight will echo across the next campaign. So 00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:57.939 wherever you're listening, from a bunker to a 00:01:57.939 --> 00:02:00.879 super -earth destroyer, stay locked in. This 00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:04.879 is Helldivers Radio on GNR 107. War waits for 00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:08.099 no one. We'll be back after some adverts. Stay 00:02:08.099 --> 00:02:10.259 sharp. The update starts shortly with Penny. 00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:16.500 PV Production presents The Halloween Offensive. 00:02:17.550 --> 00:02:21.530 Episode 3, starring Devin Keister as Lieutenant 00:02:21.530 --> 00:02:25.129 Stone and Lieutenant Grayson as Kate McQueen. 00:02:25.370 --> 00:02:29.250 Bold memories. Hard to shake, huh? Something 00:02:29.250 --> 00:02:34.349 like that. How's it been going? And more importantly, 00:02:34.629 --> 00:02:38.830 what's the famous Bulldog of GNR 107 doing here? 00:02:39.490 --> 00:02:43.990 The enemy has changed. What did they truly find? 00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:49.319 What happened to Lieutenant Stone? And make sure 00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:51.960 you watch the first two episodes from Season 00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:56.020 2 on Helldivers Radio. Captain, we're surrounded. 00:02:56.300 --> 00:02:58.900 We need to fall back. These things aren't like 00:02:58.900 --> 00:03:02.300 the others. They're adapting. The final mile 00:03:02.300 --> 00:03:05.479 is blessedly quiet. No sign of the bugs following 00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:12.240 us. Find out on April 30th. You won't want to 00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:16.099 miss this five -episode miniseries. Nine voice 00:03:16.099 --> 00:03:21.120 actors. Nineteen characters. Captain, this is 00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:23.500 Lieutenant John Stone reporting casualty count. 00:03:24.860 --> 00:03:31.360 Premiering on all platforms April 30th. Hold 00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:36.900 on. The new results came in. Invisibility. Evolution. 00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:42.469 Coordination. They're just bugs. Any good news 00:03:42.469 --> 00:03:47.810 we have to report? Good news? Maybe? Grayson 00:03:47.810 --> 00:04:03.050 and Stone get closer, but to what? GNR 107 is 00:04:03.050 --> 00:04:06.310 back, and this is your Tech Update. I'm Penny 00:04:06.310 --> 00:04:09.259 Lively. Here to make sure your loadouts are reliable, 00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:12.580 your triggers work, and your stratagems don't 00:04:12.580 --> 00:04:15.759 betray you mid -fight. We've received two critical 00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:18.600 updates from Super Earth Systems Division. Let's 00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:22.360 run through the essentials. First up, crash fixes. 00:04:22.939 --> 00:04:26.000 Legacy hardware users should now experience fewer 00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:28.920 drop -in failures. We've resolved crashes triggered 00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:31.879 by weapon switching in the armory and by particle 00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:35.420 overloads in high -intensity firefights. Laser 00:04:35.420 --> 00:04:38.139 -class weapons have been fine -tuned. Firing 00:04:38.139 --> 00:04:40.500 and reloading inconsistencies have been resolved, 00:04:40.740 --> 00:04:43.379 so your directed energy tools should now perform 00:04:43.379 --> 00:04:47.220 exactly as designed. Smooth, stable, and without 00:04:47.220 --> 00:04:49.579 the overheating disk sync we saw last cycle. 00:04:50.300 --> 00:04:53.339 Social sync bugs were also addressed, specifically 00:04:53.339 --> 00:04:55.939 a fringe case where mismatched game versions 00:04:55.939 --> 00:04:58.620 were still connecting in a cross -super destroyer. 00:04:58.740 --> 00:05:02.319 That loophole is closed. And if you've seen strange 00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:05.100 white boxes in the Superstore, They've gone too. 00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:07.399 Should have never been there in the first place. 00:05:08.740 --> 00:05:11.560 Next, a rapid deployment fix for the autocannon 00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:15.079 reload bug. This issue is flagged as a high -priority 00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:18.379 frontline risk. Reloading now functions as intended. 00:05:18.819 --> 00:05:22.120 Full cycle. No more getting stuck mid -fire in 00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:24.959 the middle of a bug tide. This was pushed live 00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:27.800 just ahead of the weekend. A small patch, but 00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:31.019 a big win for field reliability. That's the full 00:05:31.019 --> 00:05:34.000 log for now. If you've updated recently, you're 00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:36.959 already reaping the benefits. If not, sync your 00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:39.300 gear before your next drop. The differences could 00:05:39.300 --> 00:05:42.899 be your life. Up next, Joe Turner has the full 00:05:42.899 --> 00:05:45.740 wartime breakdown. He's standing by with sector 00:05:45.740 --> 00:05:47.740 -by -sector analysis and the latest projections 00:05:47.740 --> 00:05:50.360 from Super Earth Command. So if you're deciding 00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:53.060 where to drop tonight, don't move until you hear 00:05:53.060 --> 00:06:20.990 what Joe has to say. Thanks, Penny. Updates in 00:06:20.990 --> 00:06:22.949 the field mean nothing if your gear doesn't keep 00:06:22.949 --> 00:06:26.689 up. And tonight, the gear's holding steady. This 00:06:26.689 --> 00:06:29.730 is your return. It's 2012 hours, CE standard. 00:06:30.209 --> 00:06:32.769 And here's your full -scale breakdown of where 00:06:32.769 --> 00:06:36.389 we stand in the war. Terminator front. Mastia. 00:06:37.919 --> 00:06:40.279 Defended yesterday, already under siege again, 00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:42.620 it's clear the enemy has marked this planet as 00:06:42.620 --> 00:06:46.180 critical. Helldivers are holding, barely. This 00:06:46.180 --> 00:06:49.740 front is far from over. Terrak and Errata Prime. 00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:53.319 Last cycle's rapid deployments saved both. The 00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:56.939 line is stable, for now. Command has marked these 00:06:56.939 --> 00:07:00.019 as secure, but we've seen how fast that changes. 00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:03.240 Kremsika withstood its latest assault. Held strong, 00:07:03.500 --> 00:07:06.720 reinforcements are holding back for now. No new 00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:09.519 movement reported. On Turing, critical loss. 00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:12.779 The Xeno Entomology Center was damaged during 00:07:12.779 --> 00:07:15.879 the Illuminate strike. Containment failed. Now 00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:18.480 the Predator's train is active here. This isn't 00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:21.040 a clean -up mission. It's a quarantine zone. 00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:25.120 Estinu and Herthan Secundus both fell without 00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:28.120 support. The speed of the Terminids' push overwhelmed 00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:31.579 defense positions. Any reclamation effort will 00:07:31.579 --> 00:07:36.680 need heavy assets and time. Finure 3. Under siege 00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:39.100 again, first from the determinants, now from 00:07:39.100 --> 00:07:41.839 the illuminant. We've retaken it twice this week, 00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:45.639 but it keeps drawing fire. The center of science 00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:49.579 is still operational, barely. And our top minds 00:07:49.579 --> 00:07:54.379 are under siege, physically and mentally. Now, 00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:57.480 to the gloom and predator strain. Four days ago, 00:07:57.560 --> 00:07:59.839 the predator strain surged through our lines. 00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:02.720 It's a billion losses in the millions. We slowed 00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:06.259 it, but we didn't stop it. Now, after a lab breach 00:08:06.259 --> 00:08:09.079 on Turing, the strain is spreading again, not 00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:11.360 through the gloom, but from our own research 00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:14.740 vaults. Command calls it vital. Mutations are 00:08:14.740 --> 00:08:18.379 unprecedented, and every day we hesitate, it 00:08:18.379 --> 00:08:22.519 adapts. On the Illuminate front, Scat Bay, Parsh, 00:08:22.740 --> 00:08:27.500 Klaka 5, and Hisoe Prime, all gone in under 48 00:08:27.500 --> 00:08:31.839 hours. Just sharp surgical attacks. The Illuminate... 00:08:32.110 --> 00:08:34.470 are targeting infrastructure, not territory. 00:08:34.929 --> 00:08:40.110 On Lang Secundus and Karkalia, barely held. Defense 00:08:40.110 --> 00:08:42.889 rotations kept the line from breaking, but the 00:08:42.889 --> 00:08:47.190 next wave could be worse. Stay vigil. Pylon 5, 00:08:47.529 --> 00:08:50.450 still holding. Twice assaulted, twice defended. 00:08:50.730 --> 00:08:53.470 This is more than a battle. It's the construction 00:08:53.470 --> 00:08:55.629 site for the repulsive gravity fill generator. 00:08:56.090 --> 00:08:59.830 If we lose it, we lose our only shot at neutralizing 00:08:59.830 --> 00:09:04.409 the meridian singularity. keep it standing oasis 00:09:04.409 --> 00:09:08.970 textbook good win illuminate repelled with zero 00:09:08.970 --> 00:09:11.830 penetration the kind of defense we need to repeat 00:09:11.830 --> 00:09:16.350 last but not forgotten the automaton front truest 00:09:16.350 --> 00:09:20.309 still stable movement minimal it's not a flashpoint 00:09:20.309 --> 00:09:23.090 but it could become one if we take our eyes off 00:09:23.090 --> 00:09:27.289 of it the rest of the red zone worlds no change 00:09:27.289 --> 00:09:30.799 no action And that's exactly what makes this 00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:33.639 dangerous. Intelligence believes the automatons 00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:37.519 are regrouping, possibly recalculating. Scientific 00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:41.200 priorities and stem reductions. Earlier today, 00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:44.419 command confirmed a reallocation of neurostimulants 00:09:44.419 --> 00:09:47.940 to the research teams on Fenrir. These scientists 00:09:47.940 --> 00:09:51.200 are breaking under constant attack and can't 00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:53.879 afford to lose their minds or their progress. 00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:57.679 As a result, helldivers will notice a temporary 00:09:57.679 --> 00:10:02.820 reduction. in stem capacity down by two we're 00:10:02.820 --> 00:10:05.100 just under 18 hours from the end of the current 00:10:05.100 --> 00:10:07.940 major order the illuminate casualties now exceed 00:10:07.940 --> 00:10:11.840 half a billion we're nearly 76 percent toward 00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:16.019 our goal five confirmed repelled attacks we are 00:10:16.019 --> 00:10:18.220 ahead of schedule stay the course and we will 00:10:18.220 --> 00:10:23.059 close it out and here's the kicker seaf pathologists 00:10:23.059 --> 00:10:25.340 uncovered a flaw in the illuminate control system 00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:29.000 your vulnerability and their grasp over the voteless 00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:32.139 if we keep repelling these attacks we could have 00:10:32.139 --> 00:10:35.299 mass liberate of enslaved citizens their remains 00:10:35.299 --> 00:10:38.399 once freed could fuel the next leap forward in 00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:42.240 anti -mine control research diagnostics clear 00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:45.220 front lines reviewed the major order is in reach 00:10:45.220 --> 00:10:49.259 but not secured pennies covered the systems i've 00:10:49.259 --> 00:10:52.100 laid out the fronts now we go beneath the line 00:10:52.100 --> 00:10:56.639 next up bulldog reporting from just outside Pinyear 00:10:56.639 --> 00:10:59.980 3. This was the Wartime Breakdown. I'm Joe Turner. 00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:03.659 Hold fast, drop smart, and don't give them an 00:11:03.659 --> 00:11:24.019 inch. This is Bulldog, transmitting from an active 00:11:24.019 --> 00:11:27.429 war zone. deep beneath the surface. It's April 00:11:27.429 --> 00:11:32.230 24th, 2016 hours. We've got just over a day before 00:11:32.230 --> 00:11:35.169 the Major Order expires, and we're still holding. 00:11:35.769 --> 00:11:38.450 But barely. Illuminate forces are tightening 00:11:38.450 --> 00:11:42.970 around both Fenrir 3 and Pylon 5. If you're just 00:11:42.970 --> 00:11:46.049 tuning in, those two planets aren't just dots 00:11:46.049 --> 00:11:49.009 on the map. They're the twin pillars holding 00:11:49.009 --> 00:11:52.509 back the Meridian Singularity. Fenrir 3 is home 00:11:52.509 --> 00:11:56.000 to the center of science. Pilot 5 is where we're 00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:58.059 building the repulsive gravity field generator. 00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:01.419 If we lose them now, it's not just territory. 00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:05.200 It's the whole war plan. The Illuminate aren't 00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:07.940 hitting us for land. They're hitting to erase 00:12:07.940 --> 00:12:11.679 potential. The gravity generator, that's our 00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:15.500 shot at stopping the singularity. Fender is research. 00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:18.639 That's our only lead on how they've been turning 00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:21.779 our own people into mindless extensions of their 00:12:21.779 --> 00:12:25.379 will. And they know it. That's why they're not 00:12:25.379 --> 00:12:28.480 sending scouts. They're sending full phalanxes. 00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:32.419 We've seen vote -less units breach forward lines 00:12:32.419 --> 00:12:37.240 with total silence. No cries. No hesitation. 00:12:38.379 --> 00:12:42.279 Just civilians turn to soldiers. We don't know 00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:45.820 how they're doing it. Yet. But I've been told 00:12:45.820 --> 00:12:48.240 if we can hold Fenrir's perimeter until cycle 00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:51.480 end, our scientists might have a way to block 00:12:51.480 --> 00:12:55.539 it. To protect the minds of the innocent. To 00:12:55.539 --> 00:12:58.440 give people their will back before it's stolen. 00:12:59.179 --> 00:13:01.840 Right now, there are Helldivers only corridors 00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:06.259 with nothing but grit and flickering light.

We'll make the bastards regret 00:13:46.409 --> 00:14:04.029 ever crossing it. Introducing Coffreedom, the 00:14:04.029 --> 00:14:06.929 coffee that's brewed for the brave and served 00:14:06.929 --> 00:14:12.049 steaming with valor.
