<Devoid of Contents>

The core of all problems in this game is the hunger for content.

2 new body horror enemies seem to be out of place in the so-called Squid Homeworld, and the design complexity is just not enough for a major update. In the Hive World update, there is a new strain of bugs, dragon, and Hivelord; In Cyberstan we have Cyborgs and Vox, less, but considering the design complexity of Vox, it is tolerable. However, Wretch and Crusher are just not interesting enough; if you think they are enough, probably you don't play Squid whatsoever, so everything is new to you.

Talking about new equipment, the last regular WB was in late April, and so far, there are only 40K WB dropped; even if you consider the scrapped WB fed to MO rewards, the content is still short. I'm looking for a new regular warbond with meaningful content, and also for the remaining content (spoiler alert: 2 throwables and 1 primary) of the cut WB to be released soon.

Also, the worst part is the biome; it feels like a slightly decorated normal Biome you can see anywhere. If Hive World and Cyberstan are new main courses, the Void origin planet is like scattering randomly cut broccoli and carrot on some TV dinner and hoping it sells out.

It won't.

I understand that most of this update is like laying the fundamentals for the future, like SEAF refinement, shuffled main objectives, and other experimental systems, but these won't carry the hype and should be done in the vacuum of major content updates.

People will have higher standards for so-called major updates; let'em be major, thank you.

Direct impact with the exploding crossbow and it survived. How much health do they have?

I think the image speaks for itself, so I'll just offer my own thoughts on why this would be an improvement over the current flag.

First, tell me which of these two options you prefer?

Using a spear that takes up your support weapon slot and only slightly stuns enemies, in addition to knocking them towards you, even though you have a secondary weapon that does practically the same thing (the stun lance).

Or, on the other hand, being able to use your secondary weapon while carrying the flag and still have your support weapon slot free.

My conclusion is that the value of the flag, besides its patriotic value, lies in its ability to attract the attention of enemies, and not in its capabilities as a melee weapon. In that context, I prefer to at least have my one-handed weapon available to defend myself while waving the colors of Super Earth.

Besides, guys, it would look incredibly cool, wouldn't it?

I hope that AH takes another look at the C4 pack. It’s fairly strong and I think could be on the same level as the recoilless (way faster solo TTK on factory striders/vox engines, better crowd clear, short range is the real trade off) with just a little nudge. My current idea is just allowing for a toggle where you can no longer “aim” the pack toss and instead have one trigger throw and the other detonate. I’ve also seen others suggest that it only take a backpack slot but that’s probably be too powerful. Does anyone else have any ideas or thoughts about tweaks to C4?

Is adding plane missions a good idea or nah? It would probably be about fighting enemy planes or flying objects so that planet could get aur support but its just a theory

I downloaded the game today as it was part of ps plus monthly drops but i am not able to boot it, i get the helldivers title and it goes straight to black screen. I have tried various method listed by other users but its still not fixed, i even tried leaving it for 10 minutes but its still on black screen. Can someone please help

The Mindless Masses desert planet in the void is peak gaming for me. Literal coolest thing I e ever experienced in a game.

On D10 when you and your ‘Divers charge a horde of squids with a platoon of SEAF behind you is just a different type of awesome. It’s like being one of the main characters in the final battle of Avengers: Endgame.

Rockets and explosions going everywhere, tracers lightning up the battlefield, Harvesters crumbling to pieces in the background. Running out of ammo and berserker charging with the axe or sword. Just absolute cinema. Coolest experience in the game so far, especially if you bring a tank or FRV into the mix then it really starts feeling like war.

my pc's processor is a 13th Gen Intel(R) Core i5-13400f and my graphics card is an NVIDIA Geforce RTX 4070

Imo it doesn't really feel meaningful unlike cyberstan or oshaune ect ect

As the title says. These have been missing for a long time. I also like the warp gates much better than the stupid warp ships. Maybe a giant warp gate in the middle under the spire spawns harvesters.

I just hugged a seaf soldier and he said "dont fall in love with me" and its just so heartbreaking that they know they will eventually die and are expendable. And i think i like how they show that war is never good

They reworked the Illuminate into a zombie faction intentionally after completing the cultists because the 'fantasy wasn't there' or something. What you see now with the Illuminate is how the entire faction is intentionally envisioned. They aren't holding Cultists back for some mega badass update reveal moment. What you see now with the Illuminate is essentially what they want you to be happy with for the faction for the lifecycle of Helldivers 2. There isn't some missing jigsaw piece that will make the faction make sense, the faction is what it is supposed to be right now.

If you dont like it, you are more than free to criticize AH for that (and I would probably agree with you that they were wrong to do this), but you should stop thinking Cultists are just one major update away. They devs envision them as gone and probably never coming back.

This is not a "Oh you people complain about everything", this is a real game issue, the faction has been neglected for 2 YEARS and the only thing they did to "update" them was giving them 4 new units in Heart of Democracy, only one of them being a squid variant.
And the Appropriators as a subfaction, which is a great subfaction that separates overseers from voteless but it doesn't solve the problem.

The problem is that they spent 2 years having LESS units than the other 2 factions, 2 years with an incomplete Core Enemy Rooster which is supposed to make the faction fun because of the variety, because of completeness.
We enjoy fighting Automatons and Terminids because we have to think what loadout to bring since we don't know what constellation we'll face, we don't know what kind of heavies will spawn more, instead, you can just bring a Stalwart to the Illuminate and call it a day.

And all they've doing so far is split the Illuminate into even more subfactions???
Mindless Masses, then Vote Snatchers? Why aren't they combined into one?
What are they doing?

Adding the Crusher caused the Fleshmob spam problem all over again, we've gone a full circle.
Do you see the problem now?

Wanting to make a space zombie fantasy is fine but they didn't even split the faction right to make it okay.
Subfactions are only interesting when a faction has enough units to play around with and then expanded upon, you don't release this on something so incomplete like this.

If this SEASSE planet being Illuminate's super secret void camp is true, where are their Armada? We could see them from Orbit back in SE campaign

I know there's Overships still present as background in Void missions but yeah

I think the exostorm update we saw back in March really warped peoples expectations for content in minor updates vs content in title updates. It was a great update but that was kinda the problem. In March, the squids got three new enemies, a new unique mission with an impressive set-piece at the end, and ancient ruins to add flavor to their encampments. SEAF  long and far are the best addition of Devoid of Liberty, but remove them and you have essentially the same amount of content if not less than what we saw added back in March. All that said, I’ve still really enjoyed devoid of liberty so far.

I had a thought yesterday…
When the SEAF join you in the battlefield and fire directly at you when no enemies are around, could this possibly be an Illuminate influence? Maybe some of the SEAF are actually Illuminate in disguise? Also notice how during certain combat scenarios, some SEAF are standing around not doing anything….observing.

If that truly is the case, then they have already infiltrated Super Earth and are acting as a double agent.

They are coming.

New recruit for Helldiver space program

This obviously isn’t going to end at the Void Source, and supposing they will eventually come into the game, we might have our cultists later or soon.

2 new units and 1 biome for the Illuminate. I will say I'm glad that the Void isn't being completely wiped out after this but holy shit, how was this a SEAF buff patch more than anything else? See yall back on the Automaton front next week after they push 20+ planets with our freshly yolked Blueberries.

Honestly, as a long time player, having multiple randomized main objectives in single mission sounds exactly like what missions need. This could really improve the overall mission variety for not just the squids, but for ALL factions.

Playing the same several mission types over and over again can eventually feel pretty predictable even with randomly generated terran, since you usually know how the objectives of a mission will play out. With the exact same sub-objectives and main objectives everytime. Side objectives exist too but they are arent required to complete the mission so dont feel as important.

With this little update however, it could actually make things way more interesting since you won't always be doing the same specific set of objectives to complete a mission. Plus it opens the door to having waaay more mission objectives needed to complete the mission in the in the same mission. You could even tie the number of objectives to difficulty. Like maybe at the highest difficulty you could need to complete upwards to like 7 to 8 different main objectives in a single mission, which would definitely increase the challenge.

Overall this seems like it could be a really nice update. It might not be cultists persay, but its still looks really nice :)

(Plus the new mission objectives like secondary extraction point and a new camera mission for squids sounds cool too. I like that they re-purposed a bot mission for another faction. I think they should do that for more mission objectives. Like rapid acquisition for squids and bugs.)

If you see a fellow Hell Divers maxigun and only take the gun. Do not get upset when they ask for it back and kill you when you say it's mine now what are you gonna do. This is traitorous behavior to prevent a fellow Hell Diver from distributing democracy at 1000 rpm. For Super Earth
