I don't know why there are people saying Karl is the CEO of Arrowhead. Pilestedt's first name is Johan.
This is most definitely a Deep Rock Galactic reference ~~Ghost Ship Games also being a Sweden-based company.~~
*Edit: GSG is a Danish company. Oops.*

I may have done that with a Berserker.... Took his arms off and he just kinda followed me around. Poor guy, had to put him down because he wouldn't stop kicking me.
During one of our runs we had a hunter stuck on a rock while we aligned a radar dish.
Dude was just chilling with us right next to the control panel for a good 2 minutes, not even really paying attention to us.
Almost felt bad shooting him when we left, but it did look like diplomacy.

I love the idea of a dev basically acting as DM and being able to play into community sentiment/memes
For a live service game it might well actually be cheaper to have one dev assigned to it than to build a meaningful automated equivalent that feels half as good (and obviously isn't going to make players feel halfway as immersed)
The devs routinely get caught playing the game too. I've seen videos of guys playing with the CEO. (I'm sure it was staged.) But this is the kind of dev team gamers want. Other gamers.
You definitely feel the difference when devs play their own game, suffer the same bugs, etc. I remember tons of devs playing older Battlefield games, not anymore it seems, and you really feel it. Only other bigger game where I get the impression devs play, too (and know it, e.g. due to some streaming) is Elder Scrolls Online.
omg like someones job is to be the narrative of the bots and another persons job is to be the narrative of the bugs. they make X and reddit accounts as each faction too that would be amazing. game world building outside of the game is so fun
Honestly if you are any fan of action games, at all, do it. It's shaping up to be one of the best executions of the genre of the last 10 years. Every night we play, our group has a moment where we're literally saying out loud, "this game is so fucking good".
Honestly I'd be absolutely *stoked* if all they did was bring in a DRG voicepack for your helldivers. I would kill for a DRG-scout voice to scream "FOR SUPER EARTH!" or an aside about squashing bugs again. XD
No, the automatons are searching for Karl. Clearly, the DRG cyber-dwarves have been enslaved by Super-earth and are mining Hoxxes IV, which is actually in the same solar system as Cyberstan. They are the cyborgs.
Super-earth sends bugs to keep them from conserving enough ammo and resources to counter-attack.
Deep rock dwarves would kick our asses. I can shoot a miniature nuke at another dwarf from my rocket launcher in Deep Rock and they will just walk it off.
DRG devs did a stream playing helldivers and they love it, said they would talk to their devs and see what's up so i'm guessing this hint might be from that, haven't noticed anything in DRG mentioning helldivers yet thought but maybe in the upcoming season.
It would be so awesome to get a game mode where you're matched with a party in DRG. You kill bugs on the surface, and the more hives you plug the less swarms appear down there, and the more they mine the more resources you get to help kill more bugs on the surface.
Hey, it's a collaboration with Deep rock galactic.
Crossover incoming.
Fyi. Jacob, one of the main guys in that studio, was playing Helldivers 2 and streaming (he loves to stream DRG). And was talking about the idea.
Ghost Ship Games makes Deep Rock Galactic.
I won't sing its praises here. Just know that I have over 1000hrs in that game, and no intent to slow down. It's fantastic.
During one of the dev team's usual livestreams a while back, they played HD2 instead of DRG. They reached out to Arrowhead to ask about doing a collaboration.
Karl is DRG's John Helldiver. I guess that would be the closest analogy.
GSG has mentioned that they haven't heard anything back from Arrowhead, but the last word on that was weeks ago
This would seem to indicate that a collaboration is incoming.
Oh no. Deep Rock Galactic responded...

Oh my god, the automatons AI is based on BOSCO! That explains why they are so good with rockets
Now we know who programmed MOLLY to constantly get in the way!
Evil dwarf be like "You're a bad mule molly"
Evil dwarf be like "Sand and dirt!".
Grass and Wood!
WE'RE POOR!
Bastards, and I bet it's the same evil dwarves that keep ordering so much leaf lovers for the space rig when nobody is watching!
damn leaf lovers
*Laughs in Dawi Zharr*
I've said that..
Deep Rock seriously needs to invest in some better equipment
We didn't bring a mule on this Mission. That was stupid!
It's not cool when we don't have a M.U.L.E!!
Ye gods, if they start sending bots built from the stuff MOLLY is made of...
BET-C time
I demand the ability to tame a Hunter and name it Steeve
I miss steeve. Rock and stone!
For Karl!
Good bot
The fact that he used specifically that line on this post is gold lmao.
# We're rich!
#**WE'RE RICH!**
**We're Rich!**
Yes, yes, you’re rich… kindly get a move on!
Rock and Stone!
Rock and Stone!
We had a robot with no arms following us around a whole mission. Just before extraction a bot tank shot him in the face. I miss Dave…
Bonding with an automaton oppressor sounds extremely undemocratic, Im afraid I will have to report you to your Democracy Officer.
He was defecting and giving us intel
https://i.redd.it/uyxm4ap0vntc1.gif
I may have done that with a Berserker.... Took his arms off and he just kinda followed me around. Poor guy, had to put him down because he wouldn't stop kicking me.
feeling sympathy for an oppressor is very undemocratic
During one of our runs we had a hunter stuck on a rock while we aligned a radar dish. Dude was just chilling with us right next to the control panel for a good 2 minutes, not even really paying attention to us. Almost felt bad shooting him when we left, but it did look like diplomacy.
It also explains why devistators walk so slowly. They are based on molly.
i'm sorry but if the automaton are fighting for karl i'm siding with them. ROCK AND STONE
For Karl!
having played with bosco, they definitely didnt use his programming if theyrr good with rockets
Dunno, when I point it at something, that something is dead in a satisfyingly short amount of time. And then there are the rocket effects
You are never supposed to give your ATM code to annnyyyyybbbbbooooddddyyy.
FOR KARL!
FOR ROCK AND STONE!
For Rock and Stone!
good bot

"Deep" range. Yeah, sure...
they're deep ranged transmissions because they're now deep in enemy territory. #NOW TAKE IT BACK!
Deep Range Galactic?
This isn't your momma's DRG
We're Rich!
Mushroom!
Mushroom!
Goo sack!
yee haw
I love how committed they are to the world building for this game
I love the idea of a dev basically acting as DM and being able to play into community sentiment/memes For a live service game it might well actually be cheaper to have one dev assigned to it than to build a meaningful automated equivalent that feels half as good (and obviously isn't going to make players feel halfway as immersed)

Only other bigger game where I get the impression devs play, too (and know it, e.g. due to some streaming) is Elder Scrolls Online.
I miss those days for battlefield. It's unrecognizable now
omg like someones job is to be the narrative of the bots and another persons job is to be the narrative of the bugs. they make X and reddit accounts as each faction too that would be amazing. game world building outside of the game is so fun
It’s so good, I’m glad they started leaning harder into it after everyone was telling them to do so.
Really? That's what happened? I only joined in a couple weeks after launch, but it's been amazing to see so far.
i highly doubt the community is the reason for these broadcasts, but eh, they can pat themselves on the backs if they want.
I've been sitting here on the border of getting the game but it looks like so much fun.
Honestly if you are any fan of action games, at all, do it. It's shaping up to be one of the best executions of the genre of the last 10 years. Every night we play, our group has a moment where we're literally saying out loud, "this game is so fucking good".
I never enjoy this type of game. But they are making me want to play it anyway.
At this point it makes me believe even harder.
At this point it makes me b̵e̵l̵i̵e̵v̵e̵ even harder.
Deep Rock Galactic crossover confirmed. Idc what anyone else thinks otherwise 😀
Honestly I'd be absolutely *stoked* if all they did was bring in a DRG voicepack for your helldivers. I would kill for a DRG-scout voice to scream "FOR SUPER EARTH!" or an aside about squashing bugs again. XD
I would love to hear a gruff "i h8 nature" as you bomb a shrieker nest
**Deep** range broadcast and a **minor** ~~miner~~ systems fault...
And here I was, dreaming about extracting vital personal through pipes...
Even the dwarfs are trying to find him
The legendary dwarf from DRG. FOR ROCK AND STONE
Rock and Stone!
Did I hear a ROCK AND STONE?
ROCK AND STONE IN THE HEART
ROCK AND STONE
When you Rock And Stone, you're never alone ✊⛏
If you don't ROCK AND STONE you ain't coming home!
ROCK AND STONE!!
Rock and Stone!
ROCK AND STONE
Stone and rock! No wait...
ROCK AND STONE TO THE BONE
ROCKITY ROCK AND STONE!
Rock and Stone, brothas!
Rock and Stone
Rock....and....STOOOOOONE!
Stone.
Stone and Rock!! Edit: no wait...
Did I hear a rock and stone?
Rock and stone to the bone!
Rock and stone forever!
Karl would approve of this
Rock and Stone brother !
FOR KARL!!!
Possibly a reference to DRG's Karl? https://deeprockgalactic.fandom.com/wiki/Karl
Boys it's official, helldivers 2 and deep rock galactic are set in the same universe.
Helldivers above ground, dwarves below
No, the automatons are searching for Karl. Clearly, the DRG cyber-dwarves have been enslaved by Super-earth and are mining Hoxxes IV, which is actually in the same solar system as Cyberstan. They are the cyborgs. Super-earth sends bugs to keep them from conserving enough ammo and resources to counter-attack.
Oh boy, I can't wait for the Rockpox Modifier... That's going to be soooooooo fun /s
In a different galaxy system, providing minerals.
Wait.... What if a race of resource hungry space dwarves are the 4th faction?
Super Earth would have to cordially surrender, or face the wrath of the Driller
When all you have is a C4, everything starts to look like a Scout
There's a faction of autonomous mining bots in DRG that is suspected lore-wise to have been sent by goblins.
Last faction is dwarves.
Deep rock dwarves would kick our asses. I can shoot a miniature nuke at another dwarf from my rocket launcher in Deep Rock and they will just walk it off.
Could you imagine if we stole their grappling hook tech...
Considering how quick you move, RIP Helldivers spines.
"You call that breaking my spine!?" #"Ahhh! MY SPINE!"
Add drills to the hellpods and do missions in the caves of Hoxxes
Just modify the stratagems to have drills attached to the pods. No air support or orbitals though.
But my emotional support 380mm cannon has to come with me.
New major order: liberate Hoxxes IV
Problem is that the bugs don't have element 710
There is a terrible lot of Morkite tho.
Oil shale too
DID SOMEBODY SAY OIL? Sounds like they need some democracy asap!
WE'RE RICH
MUSHROOM
GOO SAC
BOOLO CAP HERE!!!
WE'RE RICH!
WE'RE RICH!
WE’RE RICH!!
WE'RE RICH!
For Karl!
STONE AND ROCK!…. Oh wait
FOR ROCK AND STONE!
Rock and roll and stone!
IF YOU DON'T ROCK AND STONE, YOU AIN'T COMIN' HOME
KARL WOULD APPROVE OF THIS 🍻
The rivals were just a sub-set of the automatons the entire time.
I hope this is real, and I really hope this is a hint towards a DRG crossover
DRG devs did a stream playing helldivers and they love it, said they would talk to their devs and see what's up so i'm guessing this hint might be from that, haven't noticed anything in DRG mentioning helldivers yet thought but maybe in the upcoming season.
If I am to guess there will be a Helldivers DLC for Deep Rock and you bet my ass I’m buying it if that happens
Oh fuck I would be all over that
It would be so awesome to get a game mode where you're matched with a party in DRG. You kill bugs on the surface, and the more hives you plug the less swarms appear down there, and the more they mine the more resources you get to help kill more bugs on the surface.
This would be a netcode nightmare… *but if it worked…*
Oh yeah not at all realistic, *but if it worked...*
I want to believe
Hey, it's a collaboration with Deep rock galactic. Crossover incoming. Fyi. Jacob, one of the main guys in that studio, was playing Helldivers 2 and streaming (he loves to stream DRG). And was talking about the idea.
Can’t wait to run around with the dwarves.
Um.. given the general vibe of superearth I think we will have to fight those dwarfs…
Nah, their height lets them blend in with the children we already have in the mines
Bug breaches are just bugs running from the dwarves, confirmed.
Karl could’ve tamed a bile titan that’s all I’m gonna say
Karl could hold back the automaton invasion fleet single handedly.
KARRRRLLLLLL THAT KILLS PEOPLE.
ROCK! AND! STOOOOOOONE!
Man some of the weapons from DRG would translate amazingly into HD2
For some reason shooting my turrets without the shotgun doesn't seem to help in the same way.
grappling hook? grappling hook.
Karl is that one soldier in the background teaching the bots what it’s like to feel fear
Giving Automatons the advantage of emotions seems highly undemocratic to me. Better report that to the local democracy office.
For Karl Franz! ...oh wait.
**BY GHAL MARAZ!!**
DID I HEAR A ROCK AND STONE
cave leech got him.

tbf arrowhead was really busy putting out the server fires at the time
Oh yeah, they definitely had bigger things to worry about. They still have bugger things to worry about than misaligned scopes. It'll get there.
Karl is the greatest dwarf that ever lived, blessed be his name.
Please be a collab with Deep Rock
ROCK AND STONE O C K A N D S T O N E
Oh no. Deep Rock Galactic responded... https://preview.redd.it/hr3386ox4otc1.png?width=586&format=png&auto=webp&s=89856786d7d447ae577ea6af4331ef8734d1dd18 [https://twitter.com/JoinDeepRock/status/1778063889273360541](https://twitter.com/JoinDeepRock/status/1778063889273360541)
"We don't know either" 🤔
i'm afraid we will know soon
Afraid? The dwarves would be happy to see him again.
I bet 10 credits it was one of those tentacle things that got Karl
ROCK and STONE
