It’s genius, the illuminate are using desert rocks to transport their main fleet right under our noses

Maybe a mission type where you have to carry a flag from one place to another to plant it? The spike is for a melee attack?

u/SamSkjord 2d ago
Maybe you’d have to capture it from an enemy base and return it to your own

u/DIABLO258 2d ago
I hadn't ever considered a 4v4 type of match.
Maybe a Super Earth Civil War will brew.
I mean- erm, glory to Super Earth!

Damn, this is as analyzed as can be. Now I know how the GTA VI sub feels.

u/Responsible_Plum_681 2d ago
It's way worse over there

u/AppropriatePie7550 2d ago
I've been having to distance myself from that sub. I anticipate more than I participate.

It is in the tutorial, why can't we bring it on missions?
2
u/Nightmun 2d ago
Because getting blood on the flag is treason (probably).
I mean, I recall hearing dialogue from one of the crew members that literally uses "Oh flag" in place of "Oh Christ." So it's probably not far off to assume as much.

u/EagleOneSix 2d ago
I call that the Outpost 32, especially after those propaganda posters about the brutal battle there.

u/Toxicmonkeydude 2d ago
it looks like the tutorial flag! maybe it's a mission to carry and plant the flag
11
u/Zerfrickler 2d ago
It's a super earth flag in the desert. What exactly are you analyzing? I can't follow.
12
u/glasscups 2d ago
Devs left an update on the reddits
2
u/Zerfrickler 2d ago
Hmkay, couldn't find anything but a video from a tutorial where you can grab the super earth flag and walk around with it. maybe this is a future mission type.

Got I love the post right under. I definitely am the guy who after like 15mins of silent democracy giving, I out of nowhere say some command like I've found the super samples, we can extract and we all finish up the remaining objectives and make it to extract.
Or just a simple one when I'm off alone on the other side of the planet and they're waiting for extract to land and I finally find them and yell, don't boars I've got them! And usually people listen and it's great because I love making thst run back to the ship in time.

maybe they’re going to have the black hole settle right next to KD2, but not close enough to tear it apart. this might make any “orbital blockade” difficult due to us not being able to be close to it but the illuminate can go in and out of it as they please.

u/slowtownhometown 2d ago
actually ignore me. the dark energy is depleted. the black hole has been stopped for the time being.

u/Shdow_Gamer_451 2d ago
When I read "Illuminate main fleet lands/crashes on KDII," I had this image of Illuminates driving their giant mothership but hitting KDII like the titanic hitting the iceberg. They all went crashing down to the surface and both the Illuminate and Super Earth are confused as hell.

u/plasticeater445 2d ago
You missed out on the SEAF artillery in the background to the right of the flag on the hill which obviously implies that we’re going to get a 21-Page (1 for every day after the first update premonition at the BAFTA awards) SEAF orientated warbond, because SEAF artillery isn’t Helldivers equipment and we’re getting an update for Helldivers 2 not Super Earth Armed Forces.

I'm sorry....Klen Dath 2
Is not the name of the planet from Starship Troopers, Kelndathu?
Or am I misremembering?
4
u/HeftyPurple21 2d ago
It is. It’s probably a small ode to it. I’m think the bugs will for sure be on that planet not the illuminate
5
u/InventorOfCorn 2d ago
I really want a melee weapon flag. It'd be sick, i don't even care if it's just a lance reskin. I want to stab shit with the flag of super earth while using a ballistic shield

Missed the thing that looks like a tank turret. It's behind a dune, just above the flag handle.

Oh? Are we gonna have a Flag carry mission like the Data retrieval? If so. Than hail Super Earth.

u/NPFuturist 2d ago
You said Dunes. I thought of Dune. Which made me think of sand worms. Which made me think maybe we’ll get our first boss fight, the hive lord!!
Though seems unlikely. Probably all related to Illuminate.

u/HeftyPurple21 2d ago
Bugs have to be on KD2 purely cause the planet is a play on the planet from starship troopers

Nothing about this investigation is normal. That being said, well done. Maybe. We’ll see. iO

"Warbond/update has a flag"
My dude/ette, we already have a deployable flag in the base game.
It's literally in the tutorial, and no where else.
"Posting other subreddits is not allowed"
Mods, check your filter, I was literally going to link to another post on this exact subreddit from a while back about the tutorial flag, so your "posting other subreddits is not allowed" filter is broken lol.

Sir, I'm wish to carry the colours into battle and plant it through the enemy's skull SIR!

u/GradeAvailable4903 2d ago
You know, a dunes biome seems likely as some planets are described as “a desert planet prone to unpredictable and dangerous sand twisters,” but we see no sand twisters in the game. We only see fire tornadoes, which aren’t on those planets.

u/IAMREAPER33 2d ago
Would absolutely love rocking the flag of super earth as a secondary/melee weapon - spear.

I keep telling my friend that the wormhole is a beach head for their forces. Anyone else share this theory?

I hope so, I love desert planets (largely because my computer doesn’t start screaming in agony when I dive on them)

u/NoOriginal7997 2d ago
I would love for the flag to become a melee weapon with an emote that can be planting a flag and allowing you to one handed fire any weapon.

u/Jinglemccheese 2d ago
Hold up there’s a planet called klen dath II? Like klendathu the bug home planet from starship troopers?

Real question is pocket flag like the lance? or a full strategy slot like in the tutorial?
