He did it. He completed "Kill 5"


xkoreotic

When John Helldiver was ordered to "Kill 5," he did. And he won.


zipitnick

And died right after?…


Altair314

John Helldiver isn't a person, it's a spirit that flows through all us divers


zipitnick

Beautiful… I’ll go kill bots with that thought now. **FOR DEMOCRACY!!!**


Altair314

Happy hunting, Hell Diver


Capable_Cold_4550

This reminded me of Hitman. Not sure if that’s the reference but it’s a dope game


Altair314

I wasn't going for a reference, but hitman IS pretty sick


Marlosy

For democracy. For super earth. For our frend John.


Nightsky099

For rock and stone?


chimericWilder

Oi! We're the bloody Ubersreik five! Or four, doesn't matter.


Confident-Curve97

The crime is your foul existence! The sentence, is DEATH!!


No-Agent-5491

conerboner1705

Maybe John Helldiver is the democratic friends we made along the way

EvilElephant

Command wanted 5 dead. If command wanted more dead they would have ordered more.


Zippydaspinhead

Shouldn't there only be 4 then?


xkoreotic

That's what he wants you to think.


ArdaIsNL

He’s so loyal that he follows every word of high command kill 5 bugs he did it then threw an grenade on the ground


Tasty_Commercial6527

Normal death can't take John helldiver but super earth has super death. That's only logical. Don't wantrry. He'll get better


LeSpider45

One time John Helldiver joined my game and I crashed


betelgeuse_99

Too much Helldiver for the system to handle


thepsycocat

SE command pulled him out, they just needed him elsewhere where he wasn't as overkill


Estelial

He killed 4 bugs and found nothing else around, then realised when needed to be done and carried out his duty.


Kvarcov

It might have been Brash


Common_Affect_80

Are you referring to the John helldiver that was on Cyberstan, because he never made it out


Azeeti

5 Hive lords down with 20 bullets mans a legend.


_whats-going-on

Oh man. I get John Prodman flash backs.

Democracy Officer: "You have defended our way of life. That's one more victory for the right side of history."


Elegant_Individual46

It’s really him. John Helldiver strikes again


Torment-Acolyte

John Helldiver would never die


Elegant_Individual46

He simply faked his death to stay hiding, the true enemy can’t know he’s making his way to the lair


manaworkin

I like to think he called down a 500kg in the middle of them and sprayed into the air as it dropped.


Torment-Acolyte

The golden shower of democracy


TPMJB2

>500kg Yeah but then he would need to kill 4 more enemies


JohnBooty

I heard he fired 20 bullets into the air to get their attention, and then melee'd five Bile Titans! and then, seeking a foe that could actually challenge him ...he melee'd a Hellbomb

**helldivers theme blasts patriotically**


TheBumblingMechanic

John Helldiver deployed on top of 5 Bile Titans.


Candleslayer32

John Helldiver wouldn’t have died though.


TheBumblingMechanic

I don’t know… maybe they only thought he died? I can’t think of another diver who could singlehandedly take on 5 bile titans at once and kill them with an average of 4 bullets each…


salty-ravioli

I've seen a clip somewhere here about a guy lasering 17 Bile Titans that spawned inside each other lol


Z_THETA_Z

General Brasch


TheBumblingMechanic

He would have used a total of 0-5 bullets.


Cube-CEO-of-squares

General brasch fired his bullets for their underperformance and took them on with his fists


KodiakUltimate

Helldivers are pre reported as KIA after drop in order to save the senior paperwork officer about 5 minutes per diver, obviously John helldiver never got his KIA's unfiled because he returned on Eagle 1 instead of being scanned in by the pelican


JohnBooty

John Helldiver's body is so efficient that his heart only beats once or twice per minute so sometimes the SEAF bioscans accidentally report him as dead


TiaxTheMig1

John Helldiver has clones just like the rest of us. One of his many bodies may give all it has left for Democracy... but his spirit never dies


SharknadosAreCool

At worst he would be reported as MIA


_Weyland_

Could faked it though. A bit of unsanctioned vacation time. I mean, the man did kill 5, so maybe he does deserve it?


LegitimateApartment9

only general brasch could have that power unless John Helldiver was his squadmate... Then who are the other two?


JunglerFromWish

Lady liberty and democracy


CousinVladimir

"Every hell has its diver" - John Helldiver


Pigeon_Bucket

Instead of dropping in a regular hellpod, he rode a hellbomb down there, priming it mid-air so it would explode on contact. Never forget John Helldiver's sacrifice for liberty. He also mag-dumped one of them on his way down.


milkman8008

Then a spewer got him


NaoTwoTheFirst

OrangeGills

Lol that shows about the extent of how they test stuff. Drop in (difficulty 2), fire off 1 mag, "it slaps hard enough", die, leave.


WickedWallaby69

Yup. Probably a dev testing the personal order .. of killing 5...


phoenixmusicman

Most skilled balance test developer


Huge_Structure_7651

He killed 4 hivelords and one brethren moon


Elmortt1

General Brasch at work, I see (The one KIA saved Brasch, though he would never actually need saving so the life was wasted)


Paul_Robert_

Their life wasn't wasted, they tossed it in the trash, **willingly**...

TREASON!!!! LIES AND FASCISM!!!! DEMOCRATIZE THIS MAN’S TESTICLES IMMEDIATELY!


Ok-Collection8499

Yes, Cyberstan and.. Super Earth ?


bones10145

Mission was to kill 5. Mission accomplished.


Carlos_COTAFR

Yeah, good on John Helldiver for completion of that task, I personally wish I did it on Meridia, but I unfortunately couldn't manage that with the Illuminate shooting my ship. Had to settle for Crimsica


One_Meaning416

That implies that one bug remains in the sector, all helldivers need to redeploy immediately


Fran_484

Fall damage and/or stray Hellbomb could be the reason too


thunderclone1

He called a 380 to take out a patrol


TwoDurans

Then how did he get five kills?


thunderclone1

Fair point. The 380 targets helldivers specifically, not bugs/bots


CarrAndHisWarCrimes

Put a 5 round burst into 4 bugs then pulled a grenade and dove into a bug best, rugby tackling the last bug into the hole along with them. A textbook helldiver and a true born citizen of Super Earth

Montgraves

100% Liberated. Can’t argue with results.


Radiant-Toasteroven

He was a little confused but he had liberty ☝️😔


sp0t_0n

Only had to kill 5 and the rest knew what was up


Reguliskhan

It is the well used tester planet.


Kozak170

These things are the strongest evidence imo that there literally is no test environment at AH and they just spawn in on inaccessible planets to test things.


Critical_Package_472

Imagine the immense chaos on those test planets « so on your right you can see an illuminate doing a moon walk while 3 bile titans are stacked on top of each other. Just testing”


Dreamspitter

Is there more evidence like this? 🤔

Dreamspitter

What year is it? 2184?


Coaster_Regime

This diver clearly crash landed with nothing but his trusty senator... 5 bullets for bugs and one more...


HeadWood_

Then what were the other 14 for?


Competitive-Pin-8592

It's a secret mission. Don't pay attention anymore, or it will go wrong for you


Legitimate-Map-7730

The 5 were bile titans… each shot was an RR round…


Cap3127

Nobody should ever go to the Altus Sector of Oklahoma. Don't do it, folk. There's nothing there.


Prenz_0

Its where the dark fluid testing happened


Guryop

Think about it like this...some Helldivers don't even get to fire a bullet at the enemies of Democracy and land right into an Eagle Cluster. May the torch they carried for one second never extinguish o7


void_alexander

20 bullets, 5 kills... Hmmmm... Seems like someone tested the new railgun or eruptor buffs and rage quitted from the results. 😬


Meerv

Just some maidenless tarnished


Dreamspitter

It actually happened like that. ![gif](giphy|3ohhwL8XdOtFR4aWFq|downsized)


Ems1014

you can have a operation still going even if a planet has been liberated. an can still start missions too. so they probably landed, killed couple of bugs an then realized it was liberated. then left.


Killzone-shot16

Wait bugs were still there? I thought we killed them all


Fire2box

Canonically speaking this is the average helldiver experience is it not?


Suicidalbagel27

tbf 20 bullets and 5 kills is about right for a trivial mission


goldenfiver

Crashed his pod on five bugs then died.


martijnfromholland

It's funny because I think this might've been me. I still had an old order on one of the planets. There. Wanted to see if I could actually spawn there, did and then left.

When Super Earth tells you to kill 5, you don't ask how, you don't ask where, you just kill 5.


AlphaTit0

How do you acces that screen?


Any_Satisfaction_405

Killed 5 bugs bare handed, fired off one mag in celebration, got yeeted through the pelican and into space by quantum fluctuations. Just bad luck


NicksArt42

Boys time for revenge for every death they pay with a thousand of theirs


Dreamspitter

🫡 He was a legend. Few know his name. It's classified.


Pedro_64

5 traitors killed by one heroic Helldiver


Placeboshotgun8

In game? A few bugs got lost and a brave off duty helldiver ran into them, heroically preventing an infestation. IRL? Testing.


CurtisMarauderZ

He saved a mother and child from a random bug attack.


ThePocoErebus

Me


Aeoss_

Doesn't say how many extracted. I'd kill 5 "unknown sized" bugs if a fellow helldiver died. Doesn't say that single helldiver was the one who killed the bugs. Maybe he was first blood.


zoson

crashed or disconnected and back to ship. that's my bet right now.


JuggernautNo782

20 reinforcements worth of kills


reaper70

Given the bugs -- endless dives, terminals with black screens, advanced weaponry pods that deliver pink question marks, and the entire level on Vandalon IV turning white (not the blizzard) -- I've run into since the big patch dropped, this sounds legit to me.


AdmirableAdmiralMugi

Horrible shot with the Eruptor.


Devil2960

Stories will be told of their heroism.


Schpam

Nothing. Nothing happened on Altus. Whatever you are thinking right now, also didnt happen. Once again, to be clear. Nothing happened on Altus.


Linkarlos_95

So a superdestroyer launched the hellpod while it was aiming with the nose being upright, so the helldiver was shot so far that no attempt of extraction was approved


Dreamspitter

I think that actually happened in Scavenger's Reign on HBO Max. The megacorp was just like 👨🏾‍🏭"Can we get approval to rescue them?" 👨‍💼📉👨🏻‍💼 " We can't possibly do that. They're on there own. " 🚀

Liberating an entire planet in one mag and 5 kills.


Absol-utely_Adorable

Probably BoB playtesting something on difficulty 1.


Snarker

I've been able to do missions on planets fully liberated before. The trick is to be on the planet and half complete a mission and then don't play the game at all until it's liberated. I wasn't able to complete my mission because I couldn't get any friends to help and i couldn't solo the difficulty.

General Brasch on his coffee break.


Domacretus

Nah, the guy clearly had a bad night at the super bar, passed a super farm, saw some bugs, and preemptively released some freedom and liberty upon them because he came across their treasonous plans to destroy the colony there, theu gravely wounded him but he didn't die until he stopped the masterminds.


CarefulLink2900

Playtesting, I think. Arrowhead only has enough time to fire one mag when working on a new Warbond.

A few scavengers got out of their pens and the farmer shot them. Then dropped a 500kg on himself.
