Joe 00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:10.500 Turner as the main host, Penny with the tech 00:00:10.500 --> 00:00:13.199 update, and Bulldog on the ground with the... 00:00:13.199 --> 00:00:17.859 This show, GNR 107, is produced by PV Productions, 00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:21.000 LLC.

Tent, this is GNR 107, your daily wartime 00:00:58.299 --> 00:01:00.780 update. Joe Turner here, still broadcasting from 00:01:00.780 --> 00:01:03.560 our Liberty District field tent, where the smell 00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:07.040 of patched sealant mixes with burnt coffee and 00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:10.879 iron grit. Penny Lively is away on special assignment 00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:14.280 and will miss her keen eye on tech and transmissions. 00:01:14.540 --> 00:01:16.920 So today, Bulldog and I will be splitting her 00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:19.140 duties and sorting through a month's worth of 00:01:19.140 --> 00:01:23.099 high -stakes developments. Strap in. Yeah, we've 00:01:23.099 --> 00:01:26.090 got a lot to cover. The automatons kicked off 00:01:26.090 --> 00:01:29.689 July with a full -on surprise offensive. Jet 00:01:29.689 --> 00:01:34.209 brigades back, rebuilt, and meaner. We'll walk 00:01:34.209 --> 00:01:37.730 through the push, the planets we lost, and what 00:01:37.730 --> 00:01:41.030 it took to take them back, including the DSS 00:01:41.030 --> 00:01:45.409 facility on Klaarell. That one's personal. Then 00:01:45.409 --> 00:01:47.969 it's over to our fellow Helldivers on the Terminid 00:01:47.969 --> 00:01:50.390 front. We've got orders to support a new training 00:01:50.390 --> 00:01:52.890 facility, and that meant some messy specimen 00:01:52.890 --> 00:01:55.900 retrieval. We'll cover what that means, where 00:01:55.900 --> 00:01:58.840 we bleed, and how it ties into Super Earth's 00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:01.540 long -term strategy. Illuminate wasn't quiet 00:02:01.540 --> 00:02:06.540 either. Setia, FOI Bay, New Stockholm. The bugs 00:02:06.540 --> 00:02:10.039 might swarm, but the glow sticks adapt. We'll 00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:12.319 break down the surge and what's different this 00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:16.240 time. And finally, constructions begin on the 00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:18.379 first of Super Earth's maximum security cities. 00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:22.129 Fort Union, Fort Sanctuary. and a myriad designed 00:02:22.129 --> 00:02:25.610 to protect against enemies outside and dissidents 00:02:25.610 --> 00:02:27.870 within. We'll talk about what these cities mean 00:02:27.870 --> 00:02:30.949 and why they're happening now, and the psychological 00:02:30.949 --> 00:02:34.710 warfare hitting both sides of the lines. So whether 00:02:34.710 --> 00:02:37.270 you're hunkered in a foxhole or flying high in 00:02:37.270 --> 00:02:40.710 a SEAF cruiser, stay with us. This is The Frontline, 00:02:41.069 --> 00:02:48.349 one transmission at a time. Grab your boots. 00:02:48.449 --> 00:02:51.590 Grab your brain. It's time to provoke attention. 00:02:52.610 --> 00:02:56.469 Helldivers, this message is certified authentic 00:02:56.469 --> 00:03:00.610 from the Ministry of Defense's Exterminantal 00:03:00.610 --> 00:03:04.009 Division. The R &D boys are bored, and you've 00:03:04.009 --> 00:03:08.750 just been volunteered. Welcome to the control 00:03:08.750 --> 00:03:12.990 group. First up, you'll be hearing 70 very... 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:23.819 Seven barrels, three modes, zero regrets. Side 00:03:23.819 --> 00:03:26.060 effects may include loss of limbs, loss of friends, 00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:28.280 or loss of understanding why this was approved. 00:03:28.580 --> 00:03:32.159 Got bugs too close for comfort? Try the G31 armed 00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:35.020 grenade. Toss it down, run and fly, even Jenkins 00:03:35.020 --> 00:03:38.719 if he's nearby. Electro -hugs not recommended 00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:43.400 for indoor use. Behold the Plyce 45 BB Punch. 00:03:43.620 --> 00:03:46.659 Plasma perfection packed with potential. Hold 00:03:46.659 --> 00:03:49.969 a charge, then pray real hard. Overheat and you'll 00:03:49.969 --> 00:03:53.129 see stars. Safe mode is not in the vocabulary 00:03:53.129 --> 00:03:57.909 of science. Next, the ALS -98 Laser Sentry. No 00:03:57.909 --> 00:04:02.050 ammo, no mercy, just infinite beams of beautiful, 00:04:02.310 --> 00:04:08.569 sizzling rage! Just don't forget to let off steam. 00:04:09.169 --> 00:04:11.930 Explosive overachievement is considered patriotic. 00:04:12.250 --> 00:04:15.009 Fancy moving faster than guilt. Strap on the 00:04:15.009 --> 00:04:18.829 lift, 182, warp pack. Blink to the left and dive 00:04:18.829 --> 00:04:21.189 to the right. What could go wrong with the speed 00:04:21.189 --> 00:04:24.149 of light? Instability may result in spontaneous 00:04:24.149 --> 00:04:28.009 disintegration. Use carefully. Let's talk armor, 00:04:28.170 --> 00:04:31.870 the AD -26, bleeding edge for lightweight geniuses, 00:04:31.870 --> 00:04:36.029 or the AD -49 Apollonian for heavy -duty daredevils. 00:04:36.029 --> 00:04:39.449 Look sharp, stay alive, science armor helps you 00:04:39.449 --> 00:04:43.139 thrive. Both come with the Adreno defibrillator. 00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:46.220 So when death knocks once, you knock back once. 00:04:47.139 --> 00:04:50.920 Capes, oh yes, conductor of brilliance and over 00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:54.060 -artifacts. Triumphant, look smarter, bleed brighter. 00:04:54.379 --> 00:04:57.540 Player banners to match, and a special emote, 00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:01.699 protect eardrums. Cover those ears, avoid those 00:05:01.699 --> 00:05:04.259 tears, sound safety's in this year. Complete 00:05:04.259 --> 00:05:20.079 the set, and the ministry will brand... Be brave. 00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:40.819 Be brave. We're back. I'm Joe Turner reporting 00:05:40.819 --> 00:05:43.079 with Bulldog, who's in the studio with me today. 00:05:43.579 --> 00:05:46.180 Let's get into July's automaton developments. 00:05:46.740 --> 00:05:49.860 On July 1st, High Command officially marked the 00:05:49.860 --> 00:05:53.100 repeal for automaton attack. Mission as accomplished, 00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:56.439 including the successful defense of Ustatu and 00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:59.339 three neighboring defense zones. By standard 00:05:59.339 --> 00:06:01.839 Helldiver forces, even against Jump Pack, Jet 00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:04.000 Brigade, an enemy we thought we had eliminated. 00:06:04.379 --> 00:06:07.759 And while their hardware is familiar, Their numbers 00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:11.160 and tactics are not. And here I thought they 00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:14.920 were coming in to apologize. Instead, we got 00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:18.560 flying tanks that dodge flares, wave shield bots 00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:22.120 that blank mini -shots, and at least two of our 00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:24.560 rookies trying to commit suicide with their own 00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:28.279 slaw. We pulled back squads, patched a few falls. 00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:32.259 Morale's shaky, as if they just realized their 00:06:32.259 --> 00:06:35.829 coffee tastes like molten slag now too. On July 00:06:35.829 --> 00:06:39.129 20th, Colorel finally buckled. They made off 00:06:39.129 --> 00:06:42.810 with the Deep Mantle Forge, RDSS research outpost, 00:06:42.949 --> 00:06:47.250 and command calibration assets. Scientists, training, 00:06:47.529 --> 00:06:51.050 stock, gone. It wasn't collateral. It was baited 00:06:51.050 --> 00:06:54.110 by decrypted logs about Short Bay's former Jet 00:06:54.110 --> 00:06:56.689 Brigade hub. They hacked Pride into protocol. 00:06:57.410 --> 00:07:00.470 Right. Machines that don't feel emotion, but 00:07:00.470 --> 00:07:04.019 act like they just lost in a metal opera. Vengeance 00:07:04.019 --> 00:07:07.939 -laced reprogramming. No mercy required. Despite 00:07:07.939 --> 00:07:11.100 that, we retook the upper Vernon fronts at high 00:07:11.100 --> 00:07:15.160 cost. Good men lost, our machinery dented, but 00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:17.819 every reclaimed inch screamed, code or no code, 00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:21.060 super still bleeds harder. Whether you're repairing 00:07:21.060 --> 00:07:23.379 drones or paving over the smoldering remains 00:07:23.379 --> 00:07:27.079 of the sector or outposts, stand firm, the tech 00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:40.720 update is up next. patriots of precision, ordinance, 00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:50.459 and just a scout of sanctioned madness. Join 00:07:50.459 --> 00:07:53.759 a battle -hardened unit dedicated to weekly operations, 00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:57.139 life -fire exercises, and delivering advanced 00:07:57.139 --> 00:08:00.439 individual training with a side of napalm and 00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:05.560 democracy. Pelusas await those who train. Respect 00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:11.360 is mandatory. Freedom is flammable. Sign up now 00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:15.639 and become a long -range democracy deliverer, 00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:37.139 a democracy commissar. With Penny off on a ministry 00:08:37.139 --> 00:08:39.720 assignment, Bulldog and I are covering this month's 00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:42.759 patch brief. It dropped on July 15th, version 00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:48.679 01 .003 .200. Some of the biggest takeaways are 00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:51.759 crowd control buffs, cleaner hell pod landings, 00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:55.259 and apparently flags that kill. Here are patch 00:08:55.259 --> 00:08:57.740 notes straight from the ministry. I'll read the 00:08:57.740 --> 00:09:00.720 highlights while Bulldog reacts. Here we go. 00:09:00.940 --> 00:09:03.419 Let's get it. Chest bleeding damage increased 00:09:03.419 --> 00:09:06.379 tenfold. Ragdoll recovery time shortened from 00:09:06.379 --> 00:09:10.620 0 .8 to 0 .5 seconds. Means if you get knocked 00:09:10.620 --> 00:09:13.960 on your ass, you're getting up faster. Unless 00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:16.559 that chest shot kills you first. The one true 00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:19.379 flag can now be planted through enemies, alive 00:09:19.379 --> 00:09:23.399 or dead. Officially marked as Pride Tip. Flag's 00:09:23.399 --> 00:09:26.539 a spear now. Don't ask me how. Just start poking 00:09:26.539 --> 00:09:30.620 the enemy. AR -32 pacifier now stuns for 3 seconds. 00:09:31.059 --> 00:09:34.909 Magazines increased from 5 to 6. Max from 7 to 00:09:34.909 --> 00:09:39.409 8. Minor increases to stun power. Finally feels 00:09:39.409 --> 00:09:42.870 like a pacifier, not a party popper. Buying your 00:09:42.870 --> 00:09:47.110 team some time, just aim low. SMG -72 Pummler 00:09:47.110 --> 00:09:50.350 and ARC -12 Blitzer stun durations both bump 00:09:50.350 --> 00:09:53.450 to 3 seconds. ARC -12 is slightly stronger on 00:09:53.450 --> 00:09:57.190 contact. These 3 seconds feel like a lifetime 00:09:57.190 --> 00:09:59.750 when you're getting swarmed. Glad to see the 00:09:59.750 --> 00:10:02.840 Ministry of Science hard at work. Constitution 00:10:02.840 --> 00:10:05.860 and Amendment bayonet stagger increase from 20 00:10:05.860 --> 00:10:09.779 to 25. Sidearm warrant now locks onto large enemies. 00:10:10.460 --> 00:10:13.059 That means you can now poke a Hulk without it 00:10:13.059 --> 00:10:16.000 laughing. And the warrants finally smart saves 00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:19.379 you when big bugs bust through foliage. Perching 00:10:19.379 --> 00:10:22.419 grenades now stagger larger enemies, boosted 00:10:22.419 --> 00:10:26.620 to 50. Incendiaries G10 and G13 burn longer. 00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:30.720 Sticky fire? Yes. That's how it should have been 00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:34.620 done the first time. Stratagems. Flame Sentry 00:10:34.620 --> 00:10:39.059 resists fire 95%. Cooldown shortened to 100 seconds. 00:10:40.159 --> 00:10:43.240 De -Accelerators has slightly stronger stun. 00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:47.919 Flame Sentry's a damn war god now. Throw it into 00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:51.039 a nest and just walk away. But remember to use 00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:54.480 it wisely. And populated planets might cause 00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:58.850 unnecessary harm to Class A citizens. Booster 00:10:58.850 --> 00:11:02.110 Hell Pods, Fire Bomb, and Stun Pods now charge 00:11:02.110 --> 00:11:05.230 the Helldivers' explosion. Less self -stagger 00:11:05.230 --> 00:11:17.889 and demolition force. This wasn't just a bug 00:11:17.889 --> 00:11:21.470 fix. This was a battlefield tuning control, tempo, 00:11:21.730 --> 00:11:24.789 and survivability. Helldivers are staying upright 00:11:24.789 --> 00:11:28.279 longer and putting enemies down faster. Feels 00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:31.059 like Command is listening for once. Everything's 00:11:31.059 --> 00:11:34.080 tighter, more surgical. Even the gear's starting 00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:38.019 to speak back. Well, that wraps it up. If you're 00:11:38.019 --> 00:11:40.299 testing the pacifier or planting flags like it's 00:11:40.299 --> 00:11:43.679 Judgment Day, drop us a like and subscribe. Do 00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:45.519 you have anything to mention before we break 00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:49.279 for commercial, Bulldog? Just remember, if you're 00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:52.879 bleeding, on fire, and airborne, the patch might 00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:56.840 not be the problem. We will be right back after 00:11:56.840 --> 00:12:07.279 this break. This all hollows. The ghosts don't 00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:13.450 stay buried. Old enemies, forgotten debts. and 00:12:13.450 --> 00:12:16.549 one retired soldier chasing answers through the 00:12:16.549 --> 00:12:20.549 smoke. Halloween offensive episode four, when 00:12:20.549 --> 00:12:23.529 the dead won't rest, come in late September. 00:12:23.990 --> 00:12:28.330 Friendships forged in fire, now face the dark. 00:12:30.529 --> 00:12:33.309 Now, the Terminate and Illuminate fronts two 00:12:33.309 --> 00:12:36.230 different nightmares. One shared blood cost. 00:12:36.690 --> 00:12:40.129 We'll start with the bugs. On July 3rd, High 00:12:40.129 --> 00:12:44.259 Command issued Major Order 147. Secure live specimens. 00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:48.080 For something they're calling a containment -compatible 00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:52.940 training facility. Translation? We need live 00:12:52.940 --> 00:12:56.159 bugs. Big ones. Still breathing, still biting. 00:12:57.240 --> 00:12:59.299 And guess who had to bring them back without 00:12:59.299 --> 00:13:02.980 getting a face full of acid? Whole ops got messy 00:13:02.980 --> 00:13:06.720 fast. The extraction teams were good, but we 00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:09.159 lost two whole squads before the bugs were even 00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:12.620 boxed. They're mutating faster than we can catalog 00:13:12.620 --> 00:13:16.620 them. Victories like Arata Prime gave us hope. 00:13:16.700 --> 00:13:19.700 We held fast, pulled samples, and secured the 00:13:19.700 --> 00:13:23.379 landing zone. But then came Oasis and Cetia. 00:13:23.620 --> 00:13:26.740 Two disasters, Cetia especially. The command 00:13:26.740 --> 00:13:29.639 kept us holding too long. Illuminate and Terminates 00:13:29.639 --> 00:13:32.620 both struck. The lines folded. We barely got 00:13:32.620 --> 00:13:36.340 the research vessels out. Ceti is a sore one. 00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:42.529 Bugs below, glowsticks above. Bad mix. I had 00:13:42.529 --> 00:13:45.190 two rookies caught between a stalker swarm and 00:13:45.190 --> 00:13:48.490 illuminate plasma fire. The kind of stuff you 00:13:48.490 --> 00:13:51.450 don't come back from. High command called it 00:13:51.450 --> 00:13:55.149 a tactical fallback. I call it leaving boots 00:13:55.149 --> 00:13:58.750 behind. In the illuminate, their pressure is 00:13:58.750 --> 00:14:03.529 escalating. FAA Bay, New Stockholm, even outer 00:14:03.529 --> 00:14:07.250 orbits saw wave formations we haven't charted 00:14:07.250 --> 00:14:10.580 before. They're pulsing energy in controlled, 00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:13.580 spirals -turning battlefield patterns like a 00:14:13.580 --> 00:14:16.700 damn song. Seeftechs are calling it Resident 00:14:16.700 --> 00:14:22.080 Adaptation. We call it Bad News. Clostics have 00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:25.860 rhythm now? Great. What's next? Laser poetry? 00:14:29.419 --> 00:14:34.080 Don't give them ideas. But seriously, these aren't 00:14:34.080 --> 00:14:36.559 random skirmishes anymore. They're coordinated, 00:14:36.860 --> 00:14:39.580 psychological. Every retreat leaves symbols, 00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:44.240 glowing spires, ruined banners, like they're 00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:48.320 taunting us. They want us rattled. Bugs bleed 00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:51.960 you dry. Illuminate bend your mind. And between 00:14:51.960 --> 00:14:56.240 them both, July's cost was heavy. But here's 00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:59.419 what matters. We're still here. Still standing. 00:14:59.620 --> 00:15:02.799 And when our dropships touch down, it's not for 00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:06.360 vengeance. It's for victory. Whether you're capturing 00:15:06.360 --> 00:15:10.419 bugs or cracking glow shields, hold your fireteam 00:15:10.419 --> 00:15:15.600 tight. And don't blink. Not once. Not when the 00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:21.659 ground moves. Not when the sky hums. Key Battles, 00:15:21.700 --> 00:15:25.879 Wins and Losses Let's start with the good. Arata 00:15:25.879 --> 00:15:28.919 Prime was defended successfully. That operation 00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:32.259 sealed one of our most vulnerable flanks. But 00:15:32.259 --> 00:15:35.580 it wasn't all celebration. Setia fell to the 00:15:35.580 --> 00:15:39.259 Illuminate. Afreya Bay came under siege. New 00:15:39.259 --> 00:15:42.360 Stockholm was hit then lost. Oasis was taken 00:15:42.360 --> 00:15:45.000 right out from under us. I was in orbit near 00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:47.840 Setia. We barely had time to drop before the 00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:51.279 whole sector was glowing. Bugs below, beams above. 00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:54.360 We lost that ground before we even touched dirt. 00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:57.200 High Command says progress is paved with blood. 00:15:57.879 --> 00:16:00.919 And while that may be true, it's still our boots 00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:03.820 doing the bleeding. And it's not just progress 00:16:03.820 --> 00:16:08.700 they want. They want headlines. Super Earth wins 00:16:08.700 --> 00:16:13.200 Arata Prime. Plays a whole lot better than We 00:16:13.200 --> 00:16:18.960 Lost Oasis. Again. Orders are clear. Reclaim 00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:23.759 Satia, Oasis, and New Stockholm. Hold Afoi Bay 00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:27.519 at all costs. Keep the training facilities on 00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:30.600 track. That means more Helldivers in hot zones. 00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:34.279 and not enough sleep, ammo, or armor patches 00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:38.659 to go around. We move forward anyway. Always 00:16:38.659 --> 00:16:41.940 have. Next up, we'll be breaking down the Super 00:16:41.940 --> 00:16:44.679 Earth morale push, and why some citizens are 00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:47.340 dreaming about the Leviathans more than promotions. 00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:53.820 July 8th. Major order drops. Rebuild Remembrance. 00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:57.600 Super Earth's capital flattened in fire rises 00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:01.519 again. Funding's coming through war reparations 00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:04.339 and what high command calls the abettor guilt 00:17:04.339 --> 00:17:07.960 of termited linked factions. Doesn't matter why. 00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:11.420 What matters is we're laying stone over ashes. 00:17:12.339 --> 00:17:16.740 New city'll stand taller, stronger. Symbol -heavy 00:17:16.740 --> 00:17:19.559 stuff. The heart of Super Earth beats louder 00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:23.900 than steel or spores. To the civilians tuning 00:17:23.900 --> 00:17:28.319 in, yeah, this war chews through hope. But today... 00:17:28.619 --> 00:17:30.599 We're rebuilding something that wasn't there 00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:36.940 yesterday. That's how we win. July 22nd, Major 00:17:36.940 --> 00:17:39.460 Order has issued three maximum security cities 00:17:39.460 --> 00:17:44.519 now under construction. Fort Union, Fort Sanctuary, 00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:49.319 and Amira Command says its response to psychological 00:17:49.319 --> 00:17:53.440 fatigue across the colonies, too many sleepless 00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:57.660 nights, too much watching the sky. They're not 00:17:57.660 --> 00:17:59.980 just building walls, they're launching a morale 00:17:59.980 --> 00:18:04.779 campaign. Cereal box inserts, pre -filmed stringers, 00:18:04.900 --> 00:18:08.400 tactical boot camps, doubling as field trips, 00:18:08.660 --> 00:18:12.039 even bedtime broadcasts. And for the nightmares? 00:18:13.099 --> 00:18:16.460 The extermination list was expanded to strikers 00:18:16.460 --> 00:18:19.599 and impalers. And something High Command dubbed 00:18:19.599 --> 00:18:23.619 a flesh mob. No photos, no survivors, just a 00:18:23.619 --> 00:18:27.299 redacted silhouette and orders to burn on sight. 00:18:28.039 --> 00:18:31.299 It's propaganda meets practical. Kill what keeps 00:18:31.299 --> 00:18:34.420 them up at night. And maybe, just maybe, someone 00:18:34.420 --> 00:18:39.640 sleeps better. Our current snapshot. Let's bring 00:18:39.640 --> 00:18:43.259 it home. Status across the front. As of August 00:18:43.259 --> 00:18:46.059 4th, Terminator lines are holding, but barely. 00:18:47.019 --> 00:18:50.279 Pushes on Geldar's belt and Mika's spiral were 00:18:50.279 --> 00:18:53.660 repelled, though casualty counts are still rising. 00:18:54.619 --> 00:18:57.539 Automatons remain dug in across Mentoria Waste 00:18:57.539 --> 00:19:00.700 and Outer Vernon, skirmishes ongoing lots of 00:19:00.700 --> 00:19:04.920 ECM activity, drone interference, and comm blackouts. 00:19:05.740 --> 00:19:09.740 Terminate lines are holding, but barely. Pushes 00:19:09.740 --> 00:19:12.759 on Geldar's belt and Mika's spiral were repelled. 00:19:13.420 --> 00:19:16.220 Though casualty counts are still rising. And 00:19:16.220 --> 00:19:19.279 yes, for those asking, the gloom is still active. 00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:23.000 Four systems remain clouded, no new ships recovered, 00:19:23.299 --> 00:19:26.519 no cons returned. Still feels like it's watching 00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:31.019 us. Sector response remains high. Recruitment 00:19:31.019 --> 00:19:35.480 steady, stratagems uptime has improved. Gear's 00:19:35.480 --> 00:19:38.380 cleaner, drops are tighter, morale's holding. 00:19:38.920 --> 00:19:43.890 But barely. That's the truth. We're bloodied, 00:19:43.890 --> 00:19:49.430 but upright. And most recently, Super Earth High 00:19:49.430 --> 00:19:52.269 Command has issued a new major order as of this 00:19:52.269 --> 00:19:56.430 morning. Eliminate the top threats from the citizens' 00:19:56.650 --> 00:19:59.849 nightmares. We've got one week to make the galaxy 00:19:59.849 --> 00:20:03.910 sleep easier. The kill targets are as follows. 00:20:04.410 --> 00:20:08.029 20 million shriekers, 12 .5 million impalers. 00:20:08.490 --> 00:20:12.890 6 .25 million factory striders, 7 .5 million 00:20:12.890 --> 00:20:17.970 flesh mobs, and 3 .75 million leviathans. This 00:20:17.970 --> 00:20:22.549 isn't just extermination, it's morale ops. Still 00:20:22.549 --> 00:20:26.170 standing, still diving, still killing bugs, bots, 00:20:26.369 --> 00:20:30.769 and big glowing things. Penny will be back next 00:20:30.769 --> 00:20:33.569 episode, but for now you've had to endure the 00:20:33.569 --> 00:20:37.099 honor of me and Bulldog. dragging truth through 00:20:37.099 --> 00:20:41.039 the dirt so you don't have to. Till next time, 00:20:41.059 --> 00:20:45.240 Helldivers. And if the truth's too heavy, lift 00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:48.579 with your legs. We'll see you next month, if 00:20:48.579 --> 00:20:51.359 the bugs don't get there first. If you're still 00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:54.859 here, Helldivers, check out our Patreon to support 00:20:54.859 --> 00:20:57.519 the show and its efforts. The more support we 00:20:57.519 --> 00:20:59.660 get, the more often we will be broadcasting. 00:21:00.349 --> 00:21:03.890 Voice actors are Ashley Peavyhouse as Penny Lightly 00:21:03.890 --> 00:21:07.410 and Devin Keister as Bulldog. This was Grant 00:21:07.410 --> 00:21:11.130 Peavyhouse, creator, writer, show producer, iPlayer, 00:21:11.130 --> 00:21:15.890 Joe Turner. Constitution and Amendment Bayonet. 00:21:15.890 --> 00:21:18.390 Why can't I just say that? That's not strict. 00:21:18.829 --> 00:21:22.849 Shriekers. Shriekers. This was a Peavy Productions 00:21:22.849 --> 00:21:25.089 LLC. Thanks for listening.
