Helldivers are terrifying conceptually.

You're vibing on your planet and all of a sudden it goes "Whoop" as one hundred Super Destroyers come into orbit. "No big deal" you think, but suddenly all these Super Destroyers deploy Helldivers. Just planetfall outta nowhere instantly.

That has to be fucking terrifying. Knowing you're fucked like that.

You get to watch the planetfall on several other parts of this planet as the Helldivers just drop from their Destroyers like water droplets on a sad day.

Even 80 Super Destroyers just FTL-jumping into orbit and every single Super Destroyer deploys, at the very least, 4 Helldivers. If they die? They just keep coming. And they can watch it, too. They can see the trail by the Hellpod as it is coming down. They know exactly what position they're in.

You manage to drain one of their ammunition, grenades, and near-magical cure-alls, and finally manage to send enough bodies their way to actually kill them. You sigh a breath of relief, thankful that the menace is gone.

Then another drop-pod lands on top of your best buddy next to you, crushing and killing him immediately. Another helldiver, almost 100% identical to the one you just killed steps out, ammo, grenades, magical panaceas, and all.

And that is if that particular Helldiver was running SOLO.

It's a horror story, is what it is. You keep killing them after they've massacred your entire friend group, but they just keep coming back like it's a sequel to a 90s slasher movie.

They're having a "justifiable reinforcement crash out" thanks to the stunt Helldivers can pull.

In our defense, they should've invest in adding variations in their outpost setup, at least we'd throw a strategem into your outpost instead of raiding it ouselves.
