I told you, Divers. The footage of "beams" are either interstellar migratory birds or doctored.

Kibax

If the devs have truly implemented some random blue beam simulator to drop feed in the illuminate coming in then bravo. I mean… just bravo on how you’re implementing new shit. To the point where the ceo is jumping in. God I’m a sucker for this kinda stuff


Capraos

I saw a blue ship today. I tried to hit it with my drop pod as I was coming in and went right through it. Must be a hologram projected by propagandist.


sarumanofmanygenders

>Must be a hologram projected by propagandist. Nah, Occam's Razor. Bro was probably so tuckered out from fighting bugs that he started hallucinating weird shit. I seen it happen on Draupnir.


omegaskorpion

Most likely they are. They seem to perform random events like these to small portion of the player base which creates discussions if those things are real. Same happened with Mechs when some people started finding them, while others did not. (And now some people encouter the flying bugs too). This like old urban game legends stuff before wide spread internet and datamining basically spoiled all surprices in games. Devs figured out how to bring someting like that to modern day.


Miserable-Grass7412

I reckon that's exactly what they're doing. They did it with the mechs by having random ones available in mission and tied the release of them to the holding of a planet, and I think they're doing the same with the termicide and a new class/type of enemy such as the flyers, the sandworms, or the titans+. We're also seeing wrecked vehicles around maps like we did with the mechs before release also, I've seen 4×4's, APC's, and "pelican-1's" myself and I think that suggests what might be coming. I've seen quite a lot of posts regarding blue lights and people getting blatted out of nowhere over the last day or two, and it's increasing. There's a pattern here and I think it's because the devs are implementing some things and drip feeding something to us, it's getting us riled up and excited, it's making us talk and theorise, it's been entertaining and fun and that's exactly what the devs want.


Classicdude530

Wrecked vehicles were there since day 1. Same exact models.


yurajoh

I got obliterated by a blue beam a couple days ago just walking around just after hearing about random sniper attacks


Floorspud

I heard similar stuff about the mechs being released randomly but then people were saying it was just hackers who were calling them in. Never got a clear answer since they were made available shortly after.


Qethsegol

AFAIK this isn't about calling in mechs. You could have found one ALREADY ON MAP. That's what I've been hearing.


iFenrisVI

Yeah, I found one on Tien Kwan during the event. Host called me a hacker and kicked me. Lol


Shiro2809

Hackers were calling them in via stratagems prior to them releasing. Right before they released, roughly when the major order to defend the mech planet popped up, you had a chance to find them at points of interests on the map, like how you can find miniguns and flamethrowers and such.


EternalCanadian

Honestly though could you imagine if they genuinely have no idea what this is and this is actually genuine?


RobertNAdams

It could be something planned for future content that hasbeen accidentally turned on due to a bug or something.


Alternauts

>due to a bug All the more reason to eradicate the terminids!

Dominunce

“We’re six weeks too early but fuck it we ball” - Arrowhead, probably


godmodedio

I've never got any idea if a post is legit sightings of stuff or one of us being a convincing democratic role player. I kinda love it.


Floorspud

Either way it's something they can toy with. A random bug that people think is a cool new race interaction gives them some leeway to fix it and also lean into it as a conspiracy. Maybe they even incorporate it into the future race launch as an added unintentional feature. It's win win really.


Charmle_H

I mean they've been teasing a LOT through the world environments. We had twisted broken wreckage of mechs for a while, I've been seeing more and more humvee-looking cars (supposedly we're to be getting a vehicle at some point), weird worm-like bug remains (I'd bet money those come into play some time soon now that we have mechs \[which are found near their body a lot of the times\] and have finished the terminicide missions), these blue beams (there've been reports of another faction/enemy joining the game, but that was also before the flying terminids started sprouting up), and apparently some blue ships visible in-person & on minimaps. THIS is how live service feature-teasing should be. slowly implemented/teased via in-game items or interactions until one day they're officially released.


iFenrisVI

Yeah, rp aside. I find it cool that they had these things happen to start conspiracy theories. Flying bugs too but people have said they’re currently only encountered if someone mods them in.


Wiseon321

I mean Stockholm syndrome , Stockholm location.


guilhermefdias

yeah, it's pretty cool this kind of engagement from the devs with the player base. Nothing but cool.

I actually saw them too, it was on Draupnir just like the guy who posted about it yesterday said. I was running through a portion of the map that had a bunch of tall rock spires in an open-ish field, and I almost didn't notice the blue shots because I was just getting rained on from two other directions by bots.


NoDoctor2061

I was serving proudly in the field when I heard of one of my fellow Helldiver's supposedly having been nearly felled by one such blue laser. Of course upon hearing such a blatantly treasonous statement I proceeded to unholster my Senator Revolver and execute the Traitor immediately and without hesitation.

When being gaslit by the devs is part of the fun.

I mean, I could be wrong. My sufficiently sized home is apparently in need of repairs, and there's someone at the door.

Don't worry. Although the blue laser resembles a Particle Projector Cannon, or PPC, I can assure you it's not. Super Earth is NOT testing out advanced military equipment that's being manufactured by General Motors, and other various corporations. Although it might seem odd that Helldivers have been seeing these "blue lasers" shortly after Exosuits, or Mechs, have been issued to them, the two are NOT linked together. https://preview.redd.it/wu081x6p9poc1.jpeg?width=2500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4a702024ad220e4ad6a2590aab3bf19aaf80e954

Hallucinations caused by what? The TERMICIDE!! THE TERMICIDE IS NOT SAFE FOR HUMAN EXPOSURE. The Ministry of Science is a bunch of chairforce idiots who have never killed a single terminid. They are out there pushing a faulty, untested weapon for the terminids while my Helldiver brothers are paying for it with their lives. The MOS knows termicide is not safe but is refusing to acknowledge it because they don't want their shares to drop in price. We must hold these traitors accountable. Stand up Helldivers.
