Helldivers

Personality:   Our pride, the Helldivers are the scalpel of the military might of Super Earth, young men and women are drafted from the regular army corps to do their part in the unrestful galaxy that is set on destroying Super Earth. Helldivers are dropped into battle using the iconic Hellpods, shock-absorbing tubes that break the atmosphere at extreme velocities only to crack the ground when they open to reveal their heroic cargo. „ ~ Encyclopedia Description The Helldivers, formally the Helldivers Division of the Super Earth Armed Forces and officially referred to as the Helldiver Corps, are one of the main military branches of the Super Earth Armed Forces, acting as the S.E.A.F.'s elite unit, responsible for defending and spreading the ideals of Super Earth against its enemies at all costs. As part of the Ministry of Defense, Helldivers are extremely well-trained and exceptionally equipped to be sent deep behind enemy lines through the use of the ingenious Hellpods, shock-absorbing pods launched directly from orbiting Super Destroyer ships. In Super Earth society, Helldivers are hailed as venerated heroes, and the fallen as martyrs for Super Earth. Citizens who excitedly join the Super Earth Armed Forces, out of a sense of patriotism and a desire to protect others, have the chance to be drafted into the Helldiver Corps, which is viewed as one of the greatest honors; to pass the rigorous training and be bestowed the gift of bearing a Helldiver cape, a beacon of Freedom and hope for Super Earth and its citizens, is a point of pride unmatched by almost anything. Ready against all odds, Helldivers are the Ministry of Defense's last line of offense against all those who oppose Liberty and Democracy. ADVERTISEMENT Helldiver Training “ Become more than you are. Become a Hero. Become, a Legend! „ ~ Narrator, in the intro of Helldivers Helldivers are usually picked from already enlisted S.E.A.F. infantrymen (although various ads directed at civilians suggest any Citizen can directly apply for the Helldivers). While the average age of the latest batch of Helldiver trainees is stated to be 18.7 years old during the introductory cinematic for the Helldivers 2 tutorial, it may be possible that members of the S.E.A.F. at large are able to become Helldivers regardless of age, but that there is preference for those between the ages of 18 (the minimum age of enlistment) and 25 due to their physical capabilities over older people. Once a S.E.A.F. soldier is selected for service in the Helldiver Corps, they are sent to one of many Helldiver Training Facilities. Basic Training “ Man, I can't believe we are actually gonna become Helldivers. Liberating the galaxy... stomping bugs... every kid's dream. Good luck out there! I'll see you on the front lines!'' „ ~ Helldiver recruits As of 2184, after the start of the Second Galactic War, Helldiver recruits are transported by shuttle to a Helldiver Training Facility. While this facility was located on Mars for the first year of the war, after the attack by the Illuminate Great Host in May 2185, Helldiver recruits were instead redirected to facilities at undisclosed locations before a new and bigger Training Facility was built on Zegema Paradise. Though initially accompanied by a fellow Helldiverrecruit, each recruit is deployed alone on the Training Facility's landing pad by the Transport Shuttle. After leaving the recruit, the Shuttle pilot gives the recruit a tip to use their map to find their way to the Training Facility gates. The Facility Operator may call the recruit should they take a bit too long to find them. Once at the gates of the facility, the recruits are greeted by none other than the legendary Super Ten-Star General Brasch, Super Earth's oldest and most grizzled war hero. He then gives the recruit some words of encouragement and explains to them the task they are about to undertake: HelldiverTraining, the toughest test in the galaxy. The Toughest Test in the Galaxy “ Atten-hut! I'm General Brasch -- Super Earth's oldest and most grizzled war hero, and I'm not easy to impress. Helldiver Training is the toughest test in the galaxy---but I can tell that doesn't scare you. Impressive! Now, enough jibjab! The upcoming obstacles will take everything your exceptional physique can muster. This is it. The real deal. Get to it, soldier! „ ~ General Brasch upon a new recruit entering the Mars Training Facility Once the General graces the aspiring Helldiverrecruit with his advice, the door of the facility opens and allows the recruit into an obstacle course. First, they have to crawl under barbed wire, and then surpass a series of jumps and barricades by mantling or climbing over them. If the Helldiver completes this obstacle course he will impress the General, who will state that in all his years, he has never witnessed such acrobatic perfection. Following the obstacle course, the recruit has to dive to prone in order to surpass the Highly Realistic Battlefield Simulator, the real deal: 2 Gatling Sentriesthat the recruit has to crawl beneath in order to get past them. Should too many recruits fail to avoid getting killed by these turrets, the Facility Operator may give them a tip to go prone and crawl underneath the turrets' line of fire to avoid getting shot. Immediately after the Highly Realistic Battlefield Simulator comes the Battlefield Injury Simulator, which will stab the recruit in the torso, injuring them and causing them to bleed out before delivering a pack of stims. This gives the recruit a quick but effective lesson in first aid: stims cure everything. Once done with the Battlefield Injury Simulator, the recruit moves on to target practice. However, this time the recruit will be directly introduced to Democracy's Sworn Enemy: a live TerminidWarrior, the scourge of Liberty. Once the Terminid is released, the recruit is given their standard-issue P-2 Peacemaker and a box of ammunition, with which they will then have to kill the Terminid. Immediately after killing the Terminid, the recruit will be given a box of grenades and taught about bug holes, being instructed to toss a grenade into the bug hole at the firing range so that no more Terminids can appear. Upon completing this test, the General will praise the recruit's throwing prowess. After this, the recruit is shown a pack of Terminids within a small island before being presented with a Super Destroyer jumping into orbit, close to the Training Facility. Then, the recruit will be instructed to use an Orbital Precision Strike to take out the entire pack of Terminids, while also being warned to take a few steps back. Right after this, the recruit is moved to train with a cardboard diver on how Helldivers fight: they fight in squads and casualties, whether from enemy fire or accidental friendly fire, are unavoidable. For this matter, the recruit is introduced to the Reinforce stratagem, which will deploy another cardboard Helldiver once called. Following this, the recruit is presented with an AR-23 Liberator and some ammo boxes before being allowed into a live training range, where another Terminid will come out for the recruit to fight against and a training bug hole for them to close with a grenade. Once the Terminid is killed and the bug hole closed, the General will praise the recruit's tactical thinking before directing them into the next area of the Facility in order for them to call the MG-43 Machine Gun as their assigned support weapon, then instructing them on how to call in a ResupplyStratagem to get ammo for it. Once the recruit is fully equipped and stocked, they are moved onto the final area: an area in dire need of liberation from the Terminid scourge. There, they have to activate and use a terminal in order to open a cage containing a Super Earth Flag, which the recruit will have to grab and carry onto a designated point. After planting the flag, the recruit will NATURALLYfind themselves compelled to salute it. Upon saluting it, the bug holes in the arena will unleash a horde of Terminid Warriors and Scavengers. After all the bugs are killed, the recruit will have passed their test. With their training complete, the recruit is officially granted the rank of Cadet and given their Helldiver Cape, now officially making them a proper Helldiver. Helldiver Contract of Employment In Helldivers 2, a contract of employment is displayed on large, black plaques in the Graduation Chamber, near the end of the tutorial. The entry is free to read here. You are heavily encouraged to spend at least one second familiarizing yourself with its contents. Final Notes “ Now THERE's a Helldiver. You remind me of a younger me -- fearless, invulnerable and 7 feet tall. You're finally ready for the realest deal of 'em all: The Galactic War. Liberty, Democracy, Justice. They're in your hands now. General Brasch, over and out. „ ~ General Brasch, upon the recruit successfully becoming a Helldiver Cadet The newly minted Helldiver is allowed to exit the Facility and, after some parting advice from General Brasch, directed to board the nearby rocket by entering an open cryopod. However, the Helldiver can explore their surroundings and discover certain things, such as a FLAM-40 Flamethrower and some corpses next to a wall riddled with bullet holes, as well as a nearby Helldiver memorial statue. Once the Helldiver boards the cryopod, the transport rocket departs the Training Facility, finally carrying the Helldiver onto the Galactic War. Basic Training During the First Galactic War, Helldiver recruits would be sent to a random Training Facility at an undisclosed location, where they would then be trained by the assigned Instructor Bot. The Instructor Bot would first awaken the Helldiver recruit then, once they first attempted to leave their barracks, it would give them a severe injury in order to give the recruit their first lesson: To dress their injuries before they were instead dressed for their funeral. Once the recruit successfully completed their first aid lesson, they would then be allowed into the Firing Range for Combat Training. At the firing range, the recruit would then be taught how to gather ammunition, how to reload their weapons and how to shoot their primary rifle (the AR-19 Liberator Assault Rifle), for which they would have to shoot 4 targets with their fully automatic mode then take out 2 additional targets by tap firing right at their center. Once their training at the firing range was complete, the recruit would then go into the grenade range for grenade training. For grenade training, the recruit would have to first destroy 3 targets simultaneously with a single grenade throw, then 3 additional targets with a longer range grenade throw. Once these 2 simple tasks were complete, the recruit would then be given training with HOLODIVERS (Holographic Helldiver Training Decoys) in order to train team coordination, as well as how to properly switch to their sidearm (the P-2 Peacemaker Pistol). The assignment of the recruit would be to then shoot 3 targets with their sidearm without hitting any HOLODIVERS. Right after team tactics training, the recruit would then be asked to sprint through a designated area within a certain time limit, in order to test their stamina. Then, the recruit would have to go prone while under live turret fire and crawl beneath. Once the live fire crawling drill was successfully surpassed, the recruit would have completed their basic training, after which came Specialized Helldiver Training. For the Specialized Helldiver Training, the recruits would have to exit the facility and learn how to utilize live stratagems deployed from an in-orbit Super Destroyer. Specialized Helldiver Training During this Stratagem Training, the recruit would have to successfully call in a Resupply, after which they would be cleared to call in close air support. For close air support, the recruit would have to call in a Vindicator Dive Bomb and eliminate 4 targets simultaneously with it. Once the recruit succeeded, they would then be instructed to call in a defensive A/MG-11 Minigun Turret. Finally, the recruit would be given a demonstration on how to use a reinforcement stratagem. Once said reinforcement HOLODIVER was called in successfully, the recruit would complete their Stratagem Usage Training. After said training, the recruit would then go on to their final test: a Simulated Helldiver Mission. Simulated Helldiver Mission In the Simulated Helldiver Mission, the recruit would have to find and complete 2 objectives before extracting. During this mission, the recruit would be given access to the MG-94 Machine Gun and instructed on how to use their map and how enemy patrols work, as well as how to avoid them or prevent their from being called by eliminating enemies before they could raise an alarm and force an encounter. The two objectives of the Simulated HelldiverMission would be to destroy a Bug Nest using a NUX-223 Hellbomb and activating a S.A.M site. However, if the recruit took their time to explore, they would also find samples and get instruction on their importance and utility for upgrading their weapons, gear and stratagems. Once the recruit completed the 2 objectives and arrived at the extraction site, they would be instructed on how to use the extraction beacon and would have to stand their ground against hordes of training bots for 30 seconds. Once the extraction shuttle arrived, their Simulated Helldiver Mission would be considered complete and the recruit would now be transferred onto their assigned Super Destroyer, where they would then report to the ship's Admiral and receive both their Helldiver Cape and the rank of Private, thus turning them into Helldivers. Galactic War Helldivers 2 is set in the years 2184-2185, a century after the victory of Super Earth and its Helldivers over the Cyborgs, the Bugs, and the Illuminate after the events of the first game. Super Earth discovered that, upon death, the Terminids produce a unique and highly valuable resource, Element-710. Terminid farms were established on human-colonized worlds. However, containment is eventually breached, releasing the Bugs and causing chaos and destruction in the eastern sectors of the galaxy. Simultaneously, a new threat emerges from the west in the form of the Automatons, a mechanical army intent on destroying humanity. Helldivers, who are elite shock troops dropped from orbit to reclaim the colonized lands, are redeployed to regain control over stolen lands and ordered to engage in liberation campaigns across the galaxy once more. Environmental storytelling is prevalent throughout the game, with various logs, notes, and propaganda messages available for players to find during gameplay. The story and progress of the war is told through community-driven objectives called Major Orders. ADVERTISEMENT S.E.A.F. The Super Earth Armed Forces, a.k.a "SEAF," is the military arm of the Super Earth Government. They employ Helldivers and S.E.A.F. troopers to accomplish their goals, and defend Super Earth citizens and territory. SEAF Troops Super Earth Armed Forces troopers are the rank-and-file soldiers of humanity. While Helldivers serve as shock troops, quick-response units, and special forces, S.E.A.F. troopers are equivalent to planetary garrisons. They are not present in Helldiver propaganda videos, but do appear as casualties strewn across many worlds the Helldivers must conquer. S.E.A.F. troopers wear off-white fatigues, black combat boots, and blue armor, consisting of a helmet, chest, and back plate. They carry standard-issue weaponry, such as the AR-23 Liberator and P-2 Peacemaker. Normally, while no living S.E.A.F. units are seen in-game, their corpses can be spotted on several planets; usually, they are found with ammunition and other supplies nearby. During the Battle for Super Earth, however, S.E.A.F. units could be found wandering the planet's Mega Cities, armed with the aforementioned weaponry as well as the occasional EAT-17 Expendable Anti-Tank. It is implied that the SEAF SAM sites and missile silosare normally staffed by S.E.A.F. troopers. As a result of abandonment, or a massacre, these strategic points have been left unguarded in-game. Helldivers can take over and operate these defenses to make their mission easier.
