Happy late Valentine’s Day everyone! I come bearing news!
Yesterday, my “informant” on the Helldivers II universe invited me over to his house and I was able to play the game for the first time, and I can confidently say that much of what I had written down in my fanfic is game accurate!
Including Kayne’s hatred of the Illuminate, my God, they SUCK to fight… When the devs called HDII a horde shooter, they very much meant the Squids…
The Bugs are great as a warm up on easier difficulties and DEFINITELY ramp up their ante the higher difficulty level missions you choose, but the Bots are honestly just my all around favorite to fight.
On my last dive, I had a really funny moment involving a Charger, another bug and a 500kg, which I’ll add to a future chapter in the book, and I have a special treat for you all whenever I do flesh out another chapter…
Since S.E.A.F. has recently pushed all the way to the Automaton home world of Cyberstan in the game and paired that with a new warbond, AND since Kayne’s squad is lacking a fourth member, I thought it would be a fun idea to truly introduce a character I mentioned in passing in one of the later chapters and put her in command of the squad of the Hammer of Democracy…
…Death Captain Skarlex, The Breaker, Kayne’s former commanding officer who left him for dead.
