Good evening Helldivers.
Joe Turner here, and you're tuned in to the daily wartime update.
Your go-to source for the latest victories, critical updates, and front line reports from our ongoing battle for Super Earth.
Tonight, we'll hear from Penny Lively with the latest tech advancements and Bulldog reporting live from the field.
(02:18):
Let's dive in, because every second counts.
Let's kick things off with today's biggest news.
Emmerath has been successfully liberated.
Our forces pushed back the Voatless, leaving 44,819 troops ready to redeploy.
(02:41):
Command suggests focusing next on Heath, where the Terminids are entrenched.
The Democracy Space Station is back online after weeks of illuminate sabotage.
With its engines upgraded to move six times faster, it's a game changer.
A new Heavy Ordinance Disruption Tactical Action ensures our Helldivers are equipped with the best gear on the battlefield.
(03:07):
And finally, we celebrate victories at Merriam, Stout, and Angel's Venture.
These wins reflect our dedication and unyielding resolve of Super Earth.
Keep up the momentum, Helldivers.
We'll be right back after the following messages.
So what was going on with...
(03:30):
Helldivers.
In the heat of battle, when every second is a fight for survival, you need a life-saver.
That's why Novo Boost Pharmaceuticals built some stims, as we already know.
Stimulant, painkiller, and super medicine engineered for the warriors of Super Earth.
With just one injection of Stim, you're back in action.
(03:53):
Feel the rush of vitality as your wounds stabilize and mend before your very eyes.
Stay in the fight longer, push harder, and secure victory against any odds.
With Stim, you're not just surviving, you're stimming to the max.
Use it once, and you'll know you're truly stimming.
Stim is a non-prescription, non-addictive remedy, much like hydrocodone, oxycodone, fentanyl codeine, clonicin, xanax, valium, amphetamines, methylphenidates, lunexta, and sonata.
(04:16):
Side effects may include, but are not limited to, overconfidence, a temporary belief in personal invincibility, an urge to high-five dangerous wildlife, spontaneous victory chance, and, in rare cases, an inexplicable passion for intergalactic diplomacy.
Stim should not be used in conjunction with reality checks, sacks, or inside a closed environment.
If you experience a battle lasting longer than four hours, consult your medic immediately.
Grab your Stim today, and keep the front line moving.
For the rush, for the mend, for the glory of combat, Stim is there.
(04:39):
Once you use it, you will truly be stimming.
Now, let's head over to our resident tech expert, Penny Lively, for an update on the latest advancements fueling the fight for Super Earth.
Over to you, Penny.
(05:03):
Thanks, Joe.
Helldivers, let's talk about the tools and technology keeping us in the fight, and ahead of our enemies.
The battlefield is constantly evolving, and command has been working tirelessly to equip us with what we need to secure victory.
First up, the much anticipated TR-117 armor has started rolling out across the fleet.
After some logistical delays, our Pelican pilots are stretched thin, ferrying reinforcements and supplies.
(05:28):
It's finally making its way to the front lines.
This advanced armor not only provides increased survivability, but ensures you're battle-ready for the toughest encounters.
If your deployment hasn't received it yet, hang tight, it's coming your way soon.
Speaking of gear, the legendary Helldivers Killzone equipment has returned.
Command has reissued these iconic pieces for those who missed out during the initial distribution.
(05:51):
These items are a testament to our commitment to honoring the brave legacy of our allies, even as we forge ahead against new threats.
Keep an eye out, these are worth adding to your arsenal.
On the battlefield performance side, the latest system updates have addressed critical issues.
Patch 01.002.005 fixed crashes caused by Illuminant ship disruptions,
(06:12):
resolved targeting glitches with the STA X3 Wasp launcher, and reduced connection instability during Illuminant operations.
Stability matters, especially when seconds count, and Command is ensuring you stay operational, no matter the challenge.
Now let's turn to the biggest update of the week, the Democracy Space Station overhaul.
(06:33):
Its engines have been completely upgraded, enabling it to reposition six times faster than before.
This means we can respond to enemy advances with lightning speed, turning the tide of battle before the enemy can react.
In addition, the station's new Heavy Ordnance Distribution Tactical Action is already making waves.
This upgrade ensures every Helldiver lands with optimized loadouts tailored to the challenges on the ground.
(06:58):
While the Planetary Bombardment Tactical Action has been temporarily taken offline for recalibration,
this new distribution system is proving itself as a formidable replacement.
And finally, Command has restructured its logistical pipelines to address delays and ensure our supplies keep flowing.
From cutting edge gear to optimized strategies, every aspect of this war effort is designed to support your mission success.
(07:23):
That's the rundown from Tech Today, Helldivers!
Stay vigilant, keep your gear in top shape, and remember, technology is only as good as the hands that wield it.
Back to you, Joe!
Thank you, Penny. It's clear with these advancements, we're not just holding the line, we're charging forward.
(07:46):
Helldivers, take these updates to heart and continue proving that no enemy can outmatch Super Earth.
Now, let's check in with... Standby.
It appears we are having technical difficulties.
(08:09):
We are having technical difficulties with comms and we will get back with Bulldog another day.
As we wrap up tonight, remember this, our victories are hard fought, but each one brings us closer to peace.
With Emerath, Stout, and Miriam reclaimed, we're proving that the enemies of Super Earth can't stand against our resolve.
(08:38):
This is Joe Turner, along with Penny Lively, signing off for the daily wartime update.
Stay safe out there, Super Earth depends on you.
