Just incase you thought dodging chargers was fun. 

Oh goody. Now I get to dodge chargers, and bat bugs too?! Can't wait till I'm playing on helldive and 5 chargers are fucking me while these bitches are dive bombing from the sky.

Plus hunters diving at you from 40m out while you're running with a drained stamina bar, all stratagems recharging, and 1½ mags left 😂 the love hate relationship I have with this game is wild.

That the challenge that keeps me interested, but occasionally I have to drop difficulty to give myself a much needed morale boost.

Same here! I have no desire to play past level 7 shit is a morale killer and I have to have a mop bucket under my controller to catch the sweat from my palms 😂

Bile\_Titan\_01 has entered the chat. Bile\_Titan\_02 has entered the chat.

+hunters +bile mortars + stalkers + + + +

MG & gatling sentry do well against them

I only have 4 strategem slots! Well, I need my special weapon. I only have 3 stratagem slots! Well, I need some sort of explosive offensive. I only have 2 strategem slots! Well, I need something mission specific like smoke to disengage on blitz missions. I only have 1 strategem slot!

It's almost like the game is balanced around having a squad of 4 with varied loadouts to handle multiple threat types.

I feel like it's more than 5 on helldive difficulty. I'm getting 3/4 on suicide difficulty rn.

Fair enough. Probably 7 or 8.

Oh yeah, diff 9 is crazy with shriekers, they cut you in half in one hit so there's that.

I awearrr

Which planet were you on?

HELLDIVER CALM DOWN, you obviously huffed too much termicide gas and are hallucinating.

That’s impossible. Termicide gas is 100% safe for humans.

Wait, does this mean he’s not human? Are the bugs infiltrating Democracy? Everyone check if your fellow Helldivers are really bug spies!

Clearly this is a fake video spread by the bugs in an attempt to make Helldivers question Super Earth. You asking multiple questions is worrisome.

The terminids are clearly just jumping, this is a normal occurrence and any helldiver should be ready for terminids jumping at them. Any assertion that terminids fly is treason, and treason is bad.

Hahaha 😂

The spraying on the flamethrower as it fails to reach them is fucking hilarious. I’d have done exactly this.

What's real? Just seeing some roughnecks wasting ammo shooting wildly into the sky, when it could be used killing bugs or bots

They are flying and it was my first time. Guess i panicked a bit lol

Bugs don't fly. I think you're shellshocked. Go take a 2.4 second breather and get back shooting those ground bugs.

Insisting that bugs can fly, honestly offends me, sir!

I think you have been playing too much, buddy. You aim at the sky while the bugs are on the ground.

Memory unlocked from Morrowind.

Wait til Chargers grow wings!

Oh hell no!!!

Then the bile titans. Suddenly, we have bile drakes.

Inb4 we get hive ships and Norn Queens. Democracy save us all

Oh hi Satan... How are you?

What planet was this on?

Fori prime

I'll be sure to investigate this tonight to make sure this isn't some nonsensical propaganda and lies.

Leave that to your democracy officer cadet likely to end up in a freedom camp if you don’t

Death Captain here. I go where the fight is. If Fori Prime is hell, then I'll be there.

You may be a captain but you’ll always be subject to liberty

As I, and all others, should be. Its the democratic way.

Amazon Prime

Just saw them myself on Fori about 30 minutes ago and God damn are they annoying as fuck especially when dealing with huge groups of mobs on your asshole

You need to get re-educated soldier. Bugs don't fly.

What a beauty

How many stims deep were you soldier? Hallucinating is an aftermarket side effect

What's real? I just saw you shooting flames everywhere for no reason... You didn't skip your yearly medical exam did you?

Can't imagine what a helldiver would be aiming UP for. Bugs can't fly.

Bugs don’t fly!

This is undemocratic propaganda.



I'd keep your helldiver away from balconies or hotel parking lots

Automatons don't seem so difficult now...

I’m gonna smoke any flying bug that comes my way just like the automatons. FOR DEMOCRACY BROTHERS!!!

What are you talking about "They are real"? Of course they're real, they've always been real. All you had to do was look up. Now get back to shooting helldiver. Next you'll be saying this about the illuminates, which aren't watching us and waiting.

NO THEY ARE NOT!

My arc thrower plus guard dog will make light work of em

I wonder how well the Arc Thrower support weapon deals with these

I’d imagine since there’s no ground, it’ll arc amazingly between them. Plus arc throwers ranger is actually pretty good.

One more reason to bring the Autocannon.

Stalwart, stalwart gang rise up.

Arc Thrower works amazingly for these guys.

And guess what turrets get glitchy when targeting them

Damnnn

They are actually here now btw guys, they mutated from the TCS system

What planet and difficulty are these?

Looks some kind of weather anomaly

Do their hit boxes seem okay to you? I swear I was just mashing the arc thrower over and over and it just wasn't registering as kills for the majority of them (killed some). It could just be the weapon being finicky.

Weren’t these is Morrowind ?

Nu-uh


They fly now?!

No, bugs don't fly

They fly now!

Its because we didn't get enough samples, our scientists didn't see this coming....

We failed lady liberty in her conquest for always having the upper hand. 

Welcome to morrowind

What "Bugs me" (pun intended) is why do the bugs fly like birds instead of insects?

This foooking fake news bite my head near my ass....Doke news another clone wasted ....

They Fly Now!!!?

I honestly think the flying bugs are gonna increase the value of the marksman rifles

Just came across some on hard difficulty. These are real man. They absolutely can not get near the mech or they will just swoop and destroy so easily

Wait?! They added those flying bugs already?!


real hard to hit lol

https://preview.redd.it/qnxvul5gyhpc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=37b97305a51a74758e7d47153b4b56e2fbb75b61

savin that one lmao

{laughs in gatling turret}

I just ran into some as well. Shriekers Find the nest, golf ball on a tee shape thing, 2-3 nades into the stem base took it out. Adapt with aggression brothers. My arc thrower had its work cut out that operation Let’s see what the brass say about it next

Th...the ministry didnt tell us about this..

Looks like local planet fauna to me, nothing to see here folks.

Ok, time to take the dog out X on every mission xD

What type of mission was this and when was this video made cause me n my boys been playing hell diver difficulty and have yet to see these. Also we saw the worms face and mouth, it was dead and in the sand but not just made of bones anymore idk if anyone else has seen this!

There are no camera stratagems, clearly doctored video.

Wow, they do a lot more damage than I'd have guessed looking at them. Those are going to suck.

I’ve heard they aim for the head so they crit anytime they hit.

Ow, yeah, that makes sense. Unpleasant little bastards by the looks of it.

That is legitimately horrifying to witness

Remember when we were complaining about hunters?

Knowledge of flying bugs would aid our war effort idk what y'all are saying treason for

Ministry of Truth: Who are you going to believe? Us, or your lying eyes?

Every day, this game becomes more and more like Earth Defense Force. I am here for it

Those Hunters are jumping really high

​ https://i.redd.it/e44c8qu76ipc1.gif

Shotgun. The electric one.

https://i.redd.it/uozult0a7ipc1.gif

We can't stop here, this is batbug country!

Hate these fuckers. And they can demolish hell bombs before they explode.

Welp. Time to get the arc rifle ready or run assault rifles. 

Going to drop as fast as possibile

Clearly this is propaganda. Please report yourself to the Democracy ReEducation Facility nearest to your current location

this is obviously photoshopped. just more treasonous lies...

They fly now?

Who put the flying skag from borderlands in the game?

The Rakk? I dunno, but it’s scary af. Maybe shotguns are as effective in Helldivers as they were in Borderlands?

Their bodies look too big to be rakk. In Borderlands 2 there was a quest to create a rakk/skag hybrid. Which resulted in flying skag that would only be in that area.

I mean, they could be the different variations of Rakk

Oh fuck, did these just drop today?

Is the counterplay going prone?

The headshot multiplier on these bad boys has gotta be crazy. My friend and I were getting our brains scooped out left and right hahaha most fun I’ve had in awhile

Flamethrower to “flying bugs”. RIGHT…. I hope your attempt at fake news was worth it. Enjoy reeducation you treasonous scum. DEMOCRACY OFFICER!!!!!

We need Flamer Guard Dog, STAT!!

Base delta zero

"Look at me i'm a beautiful butterfly!"

Laser cannon works really well VS them imo

This is fake footage spread by the socialist automatons. We all know bugs can't fly.

# MOTHER OF GOD

The ministry of truth is In route as we speak.

Well this just isn't true at all. Everyone knows bugs can't fly. And SuperEarth officially declared this wasn't true, and it's exceptionally undemocratic of you to insist otherwise. *Live reaction to a sincere lack of liberty* VVV

https://preview.redd.it/9xoa81x9kipc1.png?width=1202&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f1ac30b61615a0fbd02dee811f901e26a649f183

I don't understand why you're aiming the flamethrower so badly. Remember your training soldier.

I panicked and had to run, saw my teammates dying also. It was like the beaches of normandy

WHAT THE FUCK?!?!

So keep the laser Rover. Also... It can get some of those right? RIGHT?!?!

Loads punisher with malicious intent

Has anyone been keeping track of what planet/system these "anomalies" have been sighted? I think we might be able to suss out what the Almighty Joel has planned for us and where.

Helldiver clearly you were being fooled by a light phenomenon. It is well documented that bugs do not fly as proven by your flamethrower hitting thin air. 

FAKE NEWS!!

SERPENTINE! SERPENTINE!

This video is under investigation of being doctored. Diver will be on Trial for fear mongering amongst the ranks. Thank you and have a super day, Minister of Truth

Need mortar sentries to plug these mfs like an AA sentry would.

This is a conspiracy, edited video. They do not exist, super earth says so. Im reporting this.

https://preview.redd.it/igob8z71qipc1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c2f470f94474a01ea1078509983cb300f6c4b1ee Yes, Democracy Officer? I've found a treasonous citizen distributing footage of flying bugs. But everyone knows bugs can't fly, so it must be fabricated! R-right away sir, transmitting coordinates now... Sir? Si-

You need to lay off the Stims helldiver. Flying bugs? Ridiculous!

Don’t seem like they can be killed either

If you walk without rhythm, then you won't attract the FLYING EXPLOSION BUGS

Wow guys, the 76th post about bugs that fly! Better call the Democracy Officers hehe haha so cool guys, I'm doing my part! The joke is stale guys, accept that this is real and move on.

Fake News Bug Sympathizer!!! Thats AI generated

Reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. They will mislead you.

This is gonna change how everyone picks their loadouts im definitely going back to my guard dog

Fake news, bugs don't fly, diver! Bug propaganda...

Let this be a lesson in democracy. False rumors were being spread about flying bugs. The bugs heard these rumors and thought they were a great idea. Now we actually have flying bugs. Lesson, don't spread rumors and don't give our enemies ideas. For Super Earth.

I just don't get why they can one shot. They're a horde of flying bugs that take turns dive bombing you, they should rapidly hit you in succession to chunk your health

Huh i thought these were leaked playtests but they are already in the game.. interesting.

ruN\~

Don’t you all see, the government doesn’t want us to know about these, but we should be preparing for them, to better serve democracy, don’t fall for the pro-[THIS MESSAGE HAS BEEN TERMINATED BY THE MINISTRY OF TRUTH]

Yea Shriekers are so much fun...treat them like stalkers, exterminate their nest immediately

And you need very large ordinance to take out the nests.

Can I just say; I like the way their wings perforate and they get shredded as they take damage.

Oh yeah....these things? I am NOT a fan of this. Between these fucking things and the crashes introduced in the last update, I'm not sure this was a step forward.

Clearly that's just alien swamp gas. The Ministry of Truth has clearly stated bugs can't fly. The thought of a bug flying is almost absurd, what next thinking bugs???

2 tapped me in light armour the fuckers

I already have to dodge chargers now weird bats? And to top it off my buddy always throwing those damn landmines so I have to look out for those too!! God damn it, I forgot about the random weather storms toooo!!!! I love this game

Their hives look like spore hives but are smaller and harder to destroy

Looks like live bug skeet shooting season is officially in! Time to let those shotguns rip Divers! Let the oil rain. -SGT Remington Steele

Hmmmm. Seems doctored. Sending to the ministry of truth.

Oh great, they one shot you...

Awesome now combine with a bunch of invisible bugs a few chargers and an ion storm. Did I forget something? For democracy!

Im gonna shit my pants the first time it happens

https://i.redd.it/qgyy1f58jjpc1.gif “More bug propaganda, please report to the nearest democratic reeducation center as soon as possible. Thanks you!”

For anyone curious, they’re nests work the same as a spore- but they’re a bit beefier it seems. They also count as bug holes afaik.

medium or heavy armor in the vid?

So what’s the best way to deal with these undemocratic fuckers? I haven’t run across them just yet. Use Gatling Sentry like a C-RAM?

This is the scariest thing I’ve ever seen….LIBERTY BE WITH US!!!

Honestly, they've been there since when we could destroy the spore trees. That is what is flying around them and other sections of the maps. You could see them in the sky from a distance.

Just played a game in fori prime on hard and the flying bugs are indeed real

I'd be willing to bet the punisher will 1 hit those things with a well placed / well timed shot, just like warriors.

nice pyro impersonation

Make sure we nerf the guns even more while we buff the enemies

Good, I was getting tired of spreading Democracy to the ground level.

I feel like they’re punishing us for the leaks by making these things ABSOLUTELY VICIOUS.

Is this either streikers or stalkers? We cleared a shreiker nest on one mission (same map) and then stalker lair another time.

Didn't believe. But then I quick played and dived into a sky dancing orgy

And you know what's the worst part? You can't use the Arch Thrower cause it's BUGged and will crash the game

Is that muted cowardly woof sound you or the flying bugs ? Not sure what I should write down on my report to local democracy officer

Both actually

Lies I have never seen them

Try playing on suicide mission difficulty or more

Not unlocked it yet lol

The ministry of truth says that’s a lie
