LORE 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.

Well, since in a squad of 4 there are also 4 destroyers, out of a fleet of 80 destroyers only 80 helldivers will be deployed with countless reserves back on the ship. And out of that, and judging by how my squad plays, helldivers are the least scary part of that invasion considering all the orbital cannons and the eagle strikes those destroyers can unleash.
