Helldivers 2 was released 1 year ago on 2024-02-08. I can recall many defining moments during my time playing Helldivers 2 such as shooting a rock in the distance because it looked like a Charger or failing miserably at destroying a grounded Illuminate Warp Ship.

My favorite moment was completing the Dark Fluid Mission and getting swarmed by Shriekers during extraction.

    I joined right after the creek and have been playing pretty steadily since. I think I’m close to 250 hours and level 101.

    The best moments were being low level and encountering the heavier enemies for the first time. Seeing a factory strider getting dropped in, hitting it with all of our stratagems, and it coming through the smoke like it was nothing was terrifying. Now I just call in an AT emplacement and blast until it isn’t standing haha

    The illuminate surprise drop at the game awards was awesome, super earth cancelling all existing orders and ordering all divers to Calypso got me so hyped.

    Now I chase the John Helldiver feeling of joining groups of lower level players and helping them out

      The AT emplacement is probably my favourite stratagem for bots. It’s so satisfying knocking down gunships with one shot and dropships with two

      I absolutely love calling in the AT emplacement for my lower level friends just getting started with the game.

      Watching them deal with factory striders, gunships, tanks, BTs and such and I’ll just be like. Hey, how’s it going? Wanna use this big fucking gun instead?

        It’s just so good. I tried it out expecting to not like it because I’m not the biggest fan of the MG emplacement, but now I can’t imagine pulling it from my loadout with bots. Bot drop incoming? Let me call in my dropship eraser.
