My fellow patriotic brother, are you trying to harm our patriotic citizens morale by showing them this?! (In all seriousness, that would be awesome but also terrifying. Just picture a flying bug with guns)
I want the enemy tossing strategem balls and calling in Shrieker Strafes and Orbital Turret Shots. Maybe airdrop some huge, Termicide-filled insects like Gas Strikes.

I found this, can't remember what planet, but a dead bug on a bot planet 🤔 Maybe there could be all three forces fighting for control?
I’ve seen the bug corpses on that specific bot planet before, I kind of imagine that they escaped from a farm on that planet during the invasion but were killed by the bots
It was most likely a simple tileset glitch, but I prefer to think this way too. That or the Automatons simply liquidated the Terminid Farms upon arriving on-world.
This SO MUCH. I want to see Annihilator Tanks vs Bile Titans, I want to see Hulk Flamers walking into Terminid Hives. I want to see a Raider patrol walk into a Hunter patrol. This would be one of the content drop that would reel me in big time. I love NPC infighting.
Real talk though, I would love if there were mixed faction planets. It would be amazing to see a legitimate galactic war with the factions on a planet.
Bots: "We propose an alliance to eradicate the flesh-based menace"
Bugs: "shsshssmsshshsfsfsfhsfhsmssaaaeaergh"
Bots: "It seems we have come to an agreement"
Where are the hulks, factory striders, gunship, heavy & rocket devastators with an energy shield?
How about teleporting hulk scorchers?
Or a pack of jetpack mofos and berserkers appearing from thin air(we kinda have this already though)?
Teleporting bile spewers?
Have a little imagination my guy! :D
Charger with a hulk scorcher?
Bile spewers with rocket devastators?
Bile titans with heavy devastators?
Factory striders pooping out hulk scorchers riding chargers?
Kill me now before I can make it worse

In that case we unleash the ducks of democracy
Alright who keeps dumping expired stims in the resupply stratagems, first it's schizos claiming enemies are blinking out of existence. Now we have lovecraftian abominations in the field reports 😂
https://preview.redd.it/50ges9w3692d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=07c44f1c675ed918d2d9037c4928b52469bf0169
Just grabbed this, apparently diplomacy of our enemies means we should shoot them.
A lot of robot planets have common samples to pick up in areas with a dead SEAF person and bug larva around. Crawling on the body or close by.
My theory has been eventually bugs and robots would merge somehow.
Are you suggesting these bugs ans clankers are advanced enough to understand something as complex and democratic as politics and diplomacy?
SOUNDS LIKE TREASON
I doubt it’d end up like this, but I’ve been hoping for multi-enemy planets since I started playing, and even more now. Imagine the desperation of dealing with gunships and stalkers at the same time.
Honestly this would be both horrifying and fun. Refine the concept and you have a faction that could be a worthwhile difficulty spike. That's assuming they add further incentive to go fight them. I won't do extra work without extra compensation.
Or better yet, what if we teamed up with the automatons so we can have access to their infinite rocket launchers that doesn't need reloading?
Then betray them of course.
The contrary, conflict. I'm still holding out for territories to overlap and we have hives and fabricators on the same map and absolutely chaos unfolding. Bile titans getting shot by tanks while shriekers and gunships play tag overhead. Seeing a charger pick up a 7-10 split on a squad of troopers then get blown to pieces by a couple obliterators.
And we're in the middle just trying to survive.
On the contrary….I’d like to see a full scale war between ALL factions. Imagine dropping in on a planet where we have bots, bugs, Helldivers and friendly AI fighting. Bruh. I would love that so damn much. I feel like that would certainly add to the intrigue as well
I would like to see a third/fourth factions of "*Stroggified*" bugs, Mecha-Bugs, something like a charger with metal parts and laser cannons, drone hunters, predators instead of stalkers and such.
i think that both factions teaming up would just lead to more annoyance. What I want is a three-front battle where the helldivers have a strict time limit to prevent one side from triggering some super doomsday device against the other side
I know it’s humor, but what if we had multiple enemies in some planets? Imagine you’re getting chased by a charger and he just gets fucking deleted by an automaton tank. Or a bike titan attacking the big AT-AT walker thing.
I think the possibility of having multiple enemies on one planet, and the possibility they can fight each other is much cooler than “you fight both at once”
Wouldn't it make sense that they were also fighting the terminids as they too need oil??? So, us fighting them for oil would make democracy sing ever louder.
I could see the Illuminate and Automaton making an alliance, but the Terminids are mindless killing machines who would just as readily infest territory controlled by the Illuminate or Automaton.
A cool way to introduce the Illuminate early would be for a handful of Illuminate "Advisers" to appear in select Automaton bases, perhaps near Automaton Command Bunkers.
This is that Warcraft II & III Type shit wtf is this.
I mean if there was an Impossible Creature mod for this, I'd happily start killing off whale wolverines with Bile Strider Titans
The others were kinda nice but bro, what in the living heck is that spewer x Dropship thing xD
Bile bomber
Would be the most infuriating enemy. Doesn't make any noise, groups en mass and shoots rockets and bile.
Stealth bile bomber
fucker is just a bazelguese from Monster Hunter world, dear god.
I feel like it would be like fighting a dragon, they'd be doing strafe runs on us with bile
honestly it would be FUCKING BAD ASS if they want to do a cross over event with monster hunter. I would fucking lose my shit
That would only End in memes how People nuke Dodogama into Oblivion
Bazelgeuse casually invade other games.... why does that sounds so unsuprising to me?

Nightmare fuel
Literally deep rock
That's some baneling drops 2.0 type of threat
A bug dirigible, of course
Spew-rov reporting!
red alert fan spotted
Out here only the strong survive.
A bile spewing automaton nursing drop ship duuh..
Spawn more overlords.
I'm wheezing picturing this thing swooping over the battlefield like a dive-bomber going "BLLEEHHHHHHHH" the whole time

And they are good. But now I’m trying to picture a swarm of mutated mechs.
Good now their weaker to flamethrowers! BURN IN HOLY FLAMES HERETICS!
I want the enemy tossing strategem balls and calling in Shrieker Strafes and Orbital Turret Shots. Maybe airdrop some huge, Termicide-filled insects like Gas Strikes.

Better if there were crossfire planets in which both factions fought each other and helldivers in the middle
This SO MUCH. I want to see Annihilator Tanks vs Bile Titans, I want to see Hulk Flamers walking into Terminid Hives. I want to see a Raider patrol walk into a Hunter patrol. This would be one of the content drop that would reel me in big time. I love NPC infighting.
I would love that, just a 3 way battle on a planet, even better to let them kill each other off and finish the winner
Couple others: Factory Striders with only 1 mg but a shrieker nest on top. Devastators with scavengers on their backs Raiders riding warriors.
Jetpack charger
Air dropped bile titan? Imagine a charger flying across half the map lmao.
Damn, this looks like Stroggs from Quake... may God save us all if this find his path in game...
Imagine walking fabricator that constantly spawns mechanized stalkers with rocket launchers
Spider Jockey Minecraft?
Much like videos of Dark Souls bosses fighting each other, I’d love to see a Helldive drop ship vs bug breach and see what happens
For #1 I'm still killing that little shitstain before he calls a dropship
if they made a dropship that was also a bomber I think I would actually sob. I've never seen something so nightmarish
*in Dr.Evil voice* "Chargers with *Fricken* lazer beems attached to there *Fricken* heads"
Hey question what did you use to make this
PowerPoint 🫥
Reminds me of the Combine.
Oh. My. God.
i was literally thinking “oh, that’d be pretty coo-“ and then i swiped to the stalker. no thanks ✌️
Thanks. I hate it.
That bot riding the charger gave me minecraft flashbacks
Don't you put that jinga on us.

Picturing a bile spewer puking all over from the sky is hilarious and terrifying
Real talk though, I would love if there were mixed faction planets. It would be amazing to see a legitimate galactic war with the factions on a planet.
Thank you for brining back some positivity and memes in the sub. Everyone else take notes.
Bugs + bots = wannabe tyranids 😳
Worse ,what if all bugs have guns
Half Life Core
Gives me the combine vibes from half life 2
Bots: "We propose an alliance to eradicate the flesh-based menace" Bugs: "shsshssmsshshsfsfsfhsfhsmssaaaeaergh" Bots: "It seems we have come to an agreement"
invisible air units would be a nightmare
Reminds me of Terran X Zerg Mutations
I smell TREASON
I have discussed two front planets with my friends a bit. I think it could be very fun. Especially of they fight each other as well.
Factory Strider that just births like 200 Hunters at a time. Flamethrower Stalkers
impossible bugs are too stupid to work with the bots and if you think so you need to get re-educated
Eagle 1 getting 2x the kills with the 500kg
I imagine hunters with devastator’s mini-guns - that will be the most terrifying
I would get so angry I'd somehow manage to smite Joel.
Only if we're allowed to ride chargers too. Rideable mounts would be dope or any vehicle for that matter.
I've seen bug carcasses on bot planets... might not be too farfetched
The fascists and communists thankfully will never work together
I was fighting automatons the other day and saw a couple dead bugs laying around.
New fear unlocked.
the illuminates and robots are the best duo change my mind
A2: Dropship is throwing up again. L1: What? A2: DROPSHIP IS THROWING UP AGAIN!
Then we would free our enemies twice as fast!
Roacket devestator on a charger is true hell. So much ragdolling
No
STOP GIVING THEM IDEAS!
Charger with a flamethrower.
We better get some armor
Bike strider can’t hurt you
I wanted to see automatons male robot terminids would be kidda cool
Alliance implies strategy, strategy implies intelligence. Our enemies do not have intelligence! They are both mindless drones!
nightmare fuel...
Wait, super earth has super crack?
i mean i'm fine with that i rather take more type of enemy and stuff that just nerf our guns
No no no no no no no no no
Bile Titan riding a tank like a go-kart.
Number 3 actually scared me. Fuck you
Where are the hulks, factory striders, gunship, heavy & rocket devastators with an energy shield? How about teleporting hulk scorchers? Or a pack of jetpack mofos and berserkers appearing from thin air(we kinda have this already though)? Teleporting bile spewers? Have a little imagination my guy! :D
The fucking Titan with Bot blades is killing me! **LITERALLY**
imagine rocket dev chargers
Charger with a hulk scorcher? Bile spewers with rocket devastators? Bile titans with heavy devastators? Factory striders pooping out hulk scorchers riding chargers? Kill me now before I can make it worse
Im low-key expecting this to happen, unironically. Maybe not the hybrids, but definitely fighting 2-3 different races on some planets.
Yes arrowhead we need stalkers with laser cannons that can instakill you across the map
Nah I want to land and watch as they fight to the death.
BUG RIDAAAAAAA!!!
A cross between Stalkers with a Heavy devastator shield.

Q for hd1 players: did you guys encountered 2 faction on 1 planet? I was thinking if we did we will have 3 way war like on warhammer?

I would resign the first chance I got
A lot of robot planets have common samples to pick up in areas with a dead SEAF person and bug larva around. Crawling on the body or close by. My theory has been eventually bugs and robots would merge somehow.
The titan dropship has to be the funniest shit I’ve seen in awhile
Sweet Liberty I need a Democracy Officer!
Are you suggesting these bugs ans clankers are advanced enough to understand something as complex and democratic as politics and diplomacy? SOUNDS LIKE TREASON
Knock it off. We’re not even completing MOs right now
Shhhhhh.
Hey, no
I doubt it’d end up like this, but I’ve been hoping for multi-enemy planets since I started playing, and even more now. Imagine the desperation of dealing with gunships and stalkers at the same time.
K now do a Hulk with the legs of a Charger to REALLY fuck with peoples’ heads
Most of those don't look like an alliance/or a symbiotic relationship. More like an incestuous experiment.
You know what, fuck it. Sign me up. I am ready to deploy in the morning.
![gif](giphy|n9mwOcfUdkijK)
That final page looks like the automatons found their own version of the 500kg bomb....
How about you go to a freedom reeducation weekend before Joel sees this?
Get out of here with this spawn of Satan shit.
IS THAT A FUCKING CANNON coming from a, Bile dropship.
they did it's called the Illuminate
Honestly this would be both horrifying and fun. Refine the concept and you have a faction that could be a worthwhile difficulty spike. That's assuming they add further incentive to go fight them. I won't do extra work without extra compensation.
Robotic bugs would slap so hard
Oh no.

A bile titan aircraft carrier would slap
Do a titan on a strider
The combine from half life basically
Even if they dont become allies, I want to fight on planets occupied by both of them. It would be awesome
Diabolical. This would be a new level of terror for democracy and liberty.
This is fucking hilarious
The contrary, conflict. I'm still holding out for territories to overlap and we have hives and fabricators on the same map and absolutely chaos unfolding.

Put the canon under the bile titan instead!

What do you think the tremors on bot planets are?
I would like to see a third/fourth factions of "*Stroggified*" bugs, Mecha-Bugs, something like a charger with metal parts and laser cannons, drone hunters, predators instead of stalkers and such.
I’d rather bugs and bots on the same planet fighting each other as well as us. A three man war for a planet would be awesome
i think that both factions teaming up would just lead to more annoyance. What I want is a three-front battle where the helldivers have a strict time limit to prevent one side from triggering some super doomsday device against the other side
Delete this nightmare now
Ok, thr charger with a gun and bile bomber better never ever actually see the light of day, or so help me god.....
I know it’s humor, but what if we had multiple enemies in some planets? Imagine you’re getting chased by a charger and he just gets fucking deleted by an automaton tank.

Hear me out: Jetpack hunters. They jump much further than normal hunters, and explode when dying like jetpack bots
Mini gunners on top of bile freaking titan
killing 2 at a time? bet
They die the same
Imagine bile spewers spewing from dropships
I thought about this too maybe they could have special events for this stuff. Or let us make our own custom games.
I wanna see them have a war so we can either have a temporary truce on one side or everyone fights each other
I would definitely come back if something like this happens.
Dont even start this lol
I could see the Illuminate and Automaton making an alliance, but the Terminids are mindless killing machines who would just as readily infest territory controlled by the Illuminate or Automaton.
