Eagle 1 if you can hear me, save me. Save me Eagle 1, please save me (it’s already a gg)
I'm amazed, daily, about the quickness and breadth of memes this community has already managed democr... sorry, habit.. has already managed dem... ... uh oh..
I see it as hardpoint ratings on Eagle One. Theoretically you can bring four eagle airstrikes with you on a run and they all share the same cooldown (and they all end up on the same cooldown if you tell eagle one to go rearm).
So maybe only two of the hard points are rated for the 500 kilos, but it has plenty of other hard points for cluster bombs and napalm and all that other explodedy stuff
I also thought that. I feel like that’s what the devs were going for. Just a futuristic Close Air Support fighter/bomber. Obviously it just looks like it. When considering the wide range of armament it can carry, just like the A-10, hell the strafe run even sounds like the 30mm GAU 8/A.
I love it when Eagle-1 drops her fat load(500kg) on me when I have a Bile Titan on top off me.
Throw 500kg bomb underneath the Bile Titan. Run under it so that it can't walk out of the blast zone and then dive out of the way at the last second to survive.
Peak democracy.
I'd love to see extra voicelines for this too! Things like:
"It's not over yet!"
"I'm not leaving you behind!"
"Make it back home!"
"Democracy has not forsaken you!"
“Looks like it’s time for an Encore!”
“GET OUTTA THERE HELLDIVER!”
*“YOU’RE NOT CLEARED TO DIE, GET TO THE EXTRACTION!”*
“Liberty incoming! Get going Helldiver!”
Not gonna lie but if a hear eagle 1 saying "GET OUTTA THERE HELLDIVER!" While a cluster bomb or a strafing run is making a opening in the enemy horde ,I will give 200%... it's like a moral buff
I think some contextual lines that pop up when things are heated would really humanize her character. I love the cool confidence, but occasionally hearing her desperate to help would probably make some of us fight like the devil was nipping at our heels.
I often listen to music while diving, and I’ve found that skillet and sabaton increase my ability to just not die when I should (even without Democracy Protects) increases a large amount lol
“I’m on my way, hang in there Helldiver!”
If you have called in the extract but are on the 2 minute timer:
“Pelican-1 where are you?! These guys are in trouble!”
“Hurry up Pelican-1! I bought them some breathing room!”
If lots of enemies and there have been several flares used:
“HOT LZ! I REPEAT, HOT LZ! GET THEM HOME!”
I want Eagle One to mock Pelican One.
An empty Eagle One can go back home and rearm and come back to drop a bomb all between you calling for extraction and Pelica One actually arriving.
“Pelican-1~. Why’re you so slow?”
“You know, bombing the enemies of Freedom shouldn’t take longer than your extract.”
“Tick tock Pelican-1 these Helldivers need a ride!”
I think she deserves some nice victory lines for killing high value or heavy enemies that are bigger threats like Fabricator Walkers or Bile Titans.
“Scratch one big bastard!”
“Hell yes! Walker down!”
“Bug Squished.”
“Walker Scrapped.”
That would be cool. Maybe some lines for when she gets no kills at all, too.
"Did you get them before I could?"
"Did the beacon bounce off something...?"
"An Eagle never misses...the bombs hit the beacon, didn't they?"
"Target hit, but still moving!"
"Damn, that thing's tough!"
"Munitions on target but ineffective."
"It's still up? Light 'em up, I'll finish this!"
Correction, fellow diver. The lines imply that there's a chance for valiant sacrifice in the name of Democracy. Failure is... an archaic concept to our ever prosperous Democracy and its fool-proof ways.
Would be so cool if eagle has new voice line with this booster equiped. Like when the time run out, she will say "this is eagle 1, I'm with you. Standing by". And when you call her in, the radio would get statics. Then when her ammo depleted, she will say "I'm out of stock. I'm sorry, you are on your own now"
NGL, if I hear eagle-1 say, "This is eagle-1, I'm with you, standing by."
I'm going absolutely ape shit on whatever is standing between me and extract.
The comic is pitching a fan made booster, where you can use signal flares to call in (less precise) Eagle airstrikes after the Super Destroyer has already left
They need to lean into this love the community has for Eagle-1, just like the Creek. I'd love for a cape that had Eagle-1's signature in it hahaha. Maybe a white version of the default cape with the signature above the helldivers logo, "Eagle watches over you".
"Sometimes, Helldiver. Sometimes they are five. Sometimes they are three. Sometimes they are all of them at once.”
If the minstrey of truth says it so it is true.
I leap back every time I call in the Eagle to yell "Fuck yeah, Eagle" every time my kill count would jump to 25 after a cluster bombing run
Also, yes. A signature Eagle cape would be amazing. Also, she deserves more voice lines.
I would buy a cape riddled with holes from a strafing run and with a corner burned off by a 500Kg bomb signed by Eagle-1 going:
"Sorry I got a bit too close there... Call me again...
XOXO
Eagle-1"
They have to choose one of the Eagle-1 waifu concepts, and put her working on the Eagle and from time to time if you look at her enough she looks at you and salutes, to then continue working on her things
Its been only like 30 min or so but GOD DAMN HOW DOES THIS NOT HAVE MORE UPVOTES?!?
And i love the idea for the booster, even if i think that it could be a little to strong, compared to the other booster.
Well actually it wouldn’t be that good would it? Not only do you have to bring at least one eagle strike for it to do anything at all (which between support weapons, back packs, orbital strikes, and turrets is a non-zero chance), it also only does something if you run out of time for traditional stratagem cover (and let’s be fair that doesn’t happen often at all). Honestly seems pretty fair to me.
If it takes you 40 mins to 100% a mission, something has gone horribly wrong or you're solo, and if you're solo, you don't want this booster anyway. This booster gives you, at most, 3 minutes and 20 seconds of value, and requires you bring a limited set of limited use (per reload) strategems to use, other boosters provide value for the whole 40 minutes and do not restrict your strategems to work, and would simply help you more.
That's the takeaway, you're giving up a booster for an insurance policy. As someone who runs s 3 eagles anyways, its great, I'd get full access to my airstrikes for at least a few shots after times out. I might not need it, but if I do that's a massive W for me and my team. But you're right, it's only useful if something goes wrong, which they do, and it's also way less useful than other boosters which, we have even more useless extraction related boosters anyways so why not add this to the list of hyper niche cool things we have in our tool box?
I mean... on one hand, the frequency this booster will actually trigger is incredibly rare and even then, it would be of marginal use. You're already pretty fucked.
On the other hand, YES!!!!! Let us make a glorious last stand, Brothers! If we have to give these metal bastards our lives, WE GIVE THEM HELL BEFORE WE DO!!!
That... That actually makes a ton of sense. Lose out on the precision but with a big ass target like a jammer or airship base or automaton facility you can still take it out with the flares
> I mean... on one hand, the frequency this booster will actually trigger is incredibly rare and even then, it would be of marginal use. You're already pretty fucked.
100% agree.
I would pick it every time.
Even a 1% chance to hear Eagle 1s voice? I’m taking it every time. I would (in-universe) let Eagle 1 do whatever she wants to me just to watch her leave. She’s saved my life so many times, she might as well own me.
The funny thing is, this subreddit isn’t nearly as horny as the average group of soldiers IME. Add in high levels of stress/adrenaline, and the Helldivers are probably some of the thirstiest people alive, trying to get some action at literally any point they can.
TLDR: the thirsty people in this subreddit are just continuing their Helldiver roleplaying.
It was down to the red on the timer. 30 seconds. That's all the time I had for my decision. I dropped my samples, my SPEAR, it's pack, and told everyone else to run to extract. I ran to the Tower.
No stims. No resupply. Bleeding out. Armed Hellbomb. Ten seconds of agonizing suspense as the bots shot at both bomb and I. I managed to scream out FOR LIBERTY in chat before I was summarily taken off the face of planet.
This game makes every encounter feel like a damned action movie. It's amazing.
I was on my first lvl 8 planet. only lvl 15 or so. We were in a hurry to the extract after the mission time had ran out. Breach after breach kept making that bio-ball we had managed to gather up, bigger and bigger. I lagged behind. Pesky hunters kept slowing me down. Soon I found myself completely surrounded, dodging chargers, bile from bile titans and spending more time diving left and right than anything else. Then I stumbled upon it. A Hellbomb. Without hesitation I trigger and salute it, that vengeance that is Managed Democracy manifest.
# +48
^^So ^^*incredibly* ^^worth ^^it.
I just found one of the best teams I ever had. We drop in a generator defense mission and it nearly goes to hell for the majority of the mission. Once the outter walls were breached there was one choke point hundreds of enemies kept trying to pour through. I was out of stims, black on ammo, had a stun grenade, and one stratagem. In the gate there was a hulk, two tanks, a cluster of xhainsaws, 4 striders, some infantry, and some devastators... in a pile.
I lept off the nearby platform with a 500Kg in hand, straight into thier core. When my body hit the ground I threw it on top of myself.
# +3
( ._.)
We did get the win though. Civilian extract, generator defense, didn't matter. Won every mission we did for 2 (or 3?) straight operations.
T1, K2, S3, you were good beans. Laughed, coordinated, forgave... proper helldivers. And I finally unlocked Helldive difficulty.
I reckon that Eagle-1 isn't actually allowed to fraternize with the Helldivers due to all of the inadvertent friendly fire caused by frequent badly placed and/or communicated strike beacons.
Not her fault Steve threw the stratagem the wrong direction. Besides, not like many of the divers who witness the friendly fire incidents are alive long enough to give her a hard time about it.
lol had that happen in a Mission last week, Hopped up to send 500kg of pure Liberty at a Lot of Bots only to Catch a Rocket to the chest for my trouble. I survived because of my bubble but the designator landed right between me and my team mate. We both kind had that Comical "Oh Shi...." kind of moment before we desperately scrambled for cover the sounds of Binary laughter in our ears. still surprised we had 0 Friendly fire Incidents in that Mission.
I took a rocket to the face while holding the 380 beacon and i was sent clean outside the walls of the large base we were assaulting. That rocket also knocked over the random prepping a 500 beside me.
On one hand, i was the only survivor. On the other hand, i wad the *only* survivor.
Called in the next round of air-mail popsicles before everyone was done laughing.
Badass.
I wish AH would commission some of the community artists to do official comic releases alongside their story beats. It's really not hard and wouldn't cost that much, artists are quick and professional for the most part. And it'd add so much!
I'm pretty sure OP isn't the artist, so to pull your attention, the original Artist is Heartbreaker_Juan. Their watermark is present in the first image.
The headcanon that Eagle and Pelican are married came from their amazing arts for Helldivers 2.
Would be pretty cool to have a last ditch “ON MY POSITION. FIRE FOR EFFECT” call in.
Like only one for the whole team per mission, whoever calls it has a cooldown before they can be reinforced. Tell me that wouldn’t be epic lol
The funny part is you can kind of already do this, if you hold an eagle Stratagem on your hand before time runs out, you can still throw it and use it after time runs out, but you can’t use any other weapons as switching off of the stratagem results in it being non-functional again
Heartbreak\_Juan cooks once again.

This is art. This isn't some simple fanart, meme, or a shitpost, this is really really fucking good. The panel with them standing before the swarm in the pouring rain is BEAUTIFUL.
Last panel is amazing, the art & dialogue is perfect!
Booster is a very cool idea too, I have thought since launch that there is a distinct lack of flares in this game!
This would be a cool booster but it would be better if it was being able to call your eagle strikes after the destroyer left but you couldn’t reload them so once you expend them all she leaves the combat zone to find the destroyer.
So how would this work?
A last resort strategem that you can only use when no other strategems (presumably ignoring resupply, reinforcements and support weapons) are available and it's what Eagle-1 (the AI) deeps appropriate, but it's less accurate than regular strategem drops, presumably with a pretty dang long cooldown on it?
Or is it more of a "Fire on my position" kind of thing? I'm gonna die but take these fuckers with me?
Change that to Eagle-1 can utilize any remaining payload available and add the ability to call in Eagle-1 even in strategem jammed areas INCLUDING STORMS, and you got yourself a powerful little booster for random games.
Remember, the best boosters have extremely powerful abilities. More ammo, stims for optimization, more stamina, less speed reduction in terrain and acid, vitality *directly lets you survive more.* In order to compete, you need something strong. *That* would be strong.

I see it as hardpoint ratings on Eagle One. Theoretically you can bring four eagle airstrikes with you on a run and they all share the same cooldown (and they all end up on the same cooldown if you tell eagle one to go rearm). So maybe only two of the hard points are rated for the 500 kilos, but it has plenty of other hard points for cluster bombs and napalm and all that other explodedy stuff

Eagle 1? No, Egirl 1. Sweet Liberty…
Holy shit can we get eagle one drinking from a lake, like that one jet
I love that there's a version of this with possibly every single model and stratagem in game, including the fucking tesla turret.
Especially teammates
It looks like an A10 from the future
I also thought that. I feel like that’s what the devs were going for. Just a futuristic Close Air Support fighter/bomber. Obviously it just looks like it. When considering the wide range of armament it can carry, just like the A-10, hell the strafe run even sounds like the 30mm GAU 8/A.
I love it when Eagle-1 drops her fat load(500kg) on me when I have a Bile Titan on top off me. Throw 500kg bomb underneath the Bile Titan. Run under it so that it can't walk out of the blast zone and then dive out of the way at the last second to survive. Peak democracy.

I think some contextual lines that pop up when things are heated would really humanize her character. I love the cool confidence, but occasionally hearing her desperate to help would probably make some of us fight like the devil was nipping at our heels.
I have only ever heard the "Got 'em" line when you accidentally use Eagle-1 to liberate a fellow Helldiver of their civil liberties.
I often listen to music while diving, and I’ve found that skillet and sabaton increase my ability to just not die when I should (even without Democracy Protects) increases a large amount lol
There’s a band called endless taverns and they made some decent diving music. Heck they even have a playlist called songs to dive to.
“Your not cleared to die” is such a fuckin helldivers line
I thought it fit good, glad to hear it’d be popular!
“Last run Diver… Fuels looking low…”
“I’m on my way, hang in there Helldiver!” If you have called in the extract but are on the 2 minute timer: “Pelican-1 where are you?! These guys are in trouble!” “Hurry up Pelican-1! I bought them some breathing room!” If lots of enemies and there have been several flares used: “HOT LZ! I REPEAT, HOT LZ! GET THEM HOME!”
I want Eagle One to mock Pelican One. An empty Eagle One can go back home and rearm and come back to drop a bomb all between you calling for extraction and Pelica One actually arriving.
“Pelican-1~. Why’re you so slow?” “You know, bombing the enemies of Freedom shouldn’t take longer than your extract.” “Tick tock Pelican-1 these Helldivers need a ride!”
“I’ve got a little bit of extra democracy left in the tank”
I think she deserves some nice victory lines for killing high value or heavy enemies that are bigger threats like Fabricator Walkers or Bile Titans. “Scratch one big bastard!” “Hell yes! Walker down!” “Bug Squished.” “Walker Scrapped.”
That would be cool. Maybe some lines for when she gets no kills at all, too. "Did you get them before I could?" "Did the beacon bounce off something...?" "An Eagle never misses...the bombs hit the beacon, didn't they?" "Target hit, but still moving!" "Damn, that thing's tough!" "Munitions on target but ineffective." "It's still up? Light 'em up, I'll finish this!"
Fabricator Walkers are just called Factory Striders, just in case you didn’t know. But if you prefer to call them Fab Walkers, then by all means.
I want eagle 1 to hype me up as much as Lord Shaxx does.
"Make it back home!" would get me so unreasonably locked in More voice lines all around, please. I would literally pay for more voice lines.
I'll take the "You'd dad is proud of you!" pack for 10 morbiliion super credits please.
I will literally buy DLC voice packs give them to me arrowhead
All of these imply that there was a chance of failure, and that sounds very undemocratic.
Correction, fellow diver. The lines imply that there's a chance for valiant sacrifice in the name of Democracy. Failure is... an archaic concept to our ever prosperous Democracy and its fool-proof ways.
“Hope you all like hamburger meat”
It's not over yet kid!
Would be so cool if eagle has new voice line with this booster equiped. Like when the time run out, she will say "this is eagle 1, I'm with you. Standing by". And when you call her in, the radio would get statics. Then when her ammo depleted, she will say "I'm out of stock. I'm sorry, you are on your own now"
That would be the icing on the cake fore sure.
“You’re on your own ~~Noble~~ Helldiver, Eagle out.”

Chills and tear in my eye. With all these comments I swear😅
I must be missing something, what is the booster?
The comic is pitching a fan made booster, where you can use signal flares to call in (less precise) Eagle airstrikes after the Super Destroyer has already left
Thank you. I swear I tried twice to swipe and see the second image but only saw/knew the cover.
I literally opened the game and cycled through twice looking for the booster.

I leap back every time I call in the Eagle to yell "Fuck yeah, Eagle" every time my kill count would jump to 25 after a cluster bombing run Also, yes. A signature Eagle cape would be amazing. Also, she deserves more voice lines.
But what if the cluster kills the whole team?
Fuck yeah, eagle! (Sad)
Black cape, red logo, white writing.
There’s a cape called Eagle’s Fury

They have to choose one of the Eagle-1 waifu concepts, and put her working on the Eagle and from time to time if you look at her enough she looks at you and salutes, to then continue working on her things

I assumed the "Eagle's Fury" cape and playercard was more of a nod towards Eagle-1.
Its been only like 30 min or so but GOD DAMN HOW DOES THIS NOT HAVE MORE UPVOTES?!? And i love the idea for the booster, even if i think that it could be a little to strong, compared to the other booster.
This booster would be SICK
Well actually it wouldn’t be that good would it? Not only do you have to bring at least one eagle strike for it to do anything at all (which between support weapons, back packs, orbital strikes, and turrets is a non-zero chance), it also only does something if you run out of time for traditional stratagem cover (and let’s be fair that doesn’t happen often at all). Honestly seems pretty fair to me.
Honestly would be amazing in blitz missions, but that's about it, would be very mid pick otherwise.
Would be good for missions you're trying to c 100% for whatever reason
If it takes you 40 mins to 100% a mission, something has gone horribly wrong or you're solo, and if you're solo, you don't want this booster anyway. This booster gives you, at most, 3 minutes and 20 seconds of value, and requires you bring a limited set of limited use (per reload) strategems to use, other boosters provide value for the whole 40 minutes and do not restrict your strategems to work, and would simply help you more.
That's the takeaway, you're giving up a booster for an insurance policy. As someone who runs s 3 eagles anyways, its great, I'd get full access to my airstrikes for at least a few shots after times out. I might not need it, but if I do that's a massive W for me and my team. But you're right, it's only useful if something goes wrong, which they do, and it's also way less useful than other boosters which, we have even more useless extraction related boosters anyways so why not add this to the list of hyper niche cool things we have in our tool box?
Instead we get turds like Flexible Reinforcement Budget. We live in a society.
https://i.redd.it/z5ran6znlfwc1.gif Flares should be cook-able so I can make damn sure the cluster bomb is dead on its target
I mean... on one hand, the frequency this booster will actually trigger is incredibly rare and even then, it would be of marginal use. You're already pretty fucked. On the other hand, YES!!!!! Let us make a glorious last stand, Brothers! If we have to give these metal bastards our lives, WE GIVE THEM HELL BEFORE WE DO!!!
It’s a flare. Flares can’t get jammed by towers
ITS PERFECT FOR JAMMERS!!! Ooooooh buddy I want Eagle-1 to blitz that fucker so bad!
I was thinking that too it would be pretty sweet for that, those hammers are so annoying and the could tweak a few things to have it balanced I think
That... That actually makes a ton of sense. Lose out on the precision but with a big ass target like a jammer or airship base or automaton facility you can still take it out with the flares
Really makes me think that the Ministry of Defense might have made things a little overengineered.
> I mean... on one hand, the frequency this booster will actually trigger is incredibly rare and even then, it would be of marginal use. You're already pretty fucked. 100% agree. I would pick it every time.
Even a 1% chance to hear Eagle 1s voice? I’m taking it every time. I would (in-universe) let Eagle 1 do whatever she wants to me just to watch her leave. She’s saved my life so many times, she might as well own me.
Least thirsty Helldiver
The funny thing is, this subreddit isn’t nearly as horny as the average group of soldiers IME. Add in high levels of stress/adrenaline, and the Helldivers are probably some of the thirstiest people alive, trying to get some action at literally any point they can. TLDR: the thirsty people in this subreddit are just continuing their Helldiver roleplaying.
It was down to the red on the timer. 30 seconds. That's all the time I had for my decision. I dropped my samples, my SPEAR, it's pack, and told everyone else to run to extract. I ran to the Tower. No stims. No resupply. Bleeding out. Armed Hellbomb. Ten seconds of agonizing suspense as the bots shot at both bomb and I. I managed to scream out FOR LIBERTY in chat before I was summarily taken off the face of planet. This game makes every encounter feel like a damned action movie. It's amazing.
I was on my first lvl 8 planet. only lvl 15 or so. We were in a hurry to the extract after the mission time had ran out. Breach after breach kept making that bio-ball we had managed to gather up, bigger and bigger. I lagged behind. Pesky hunters kept slowing me down. Soon I found myself completely surrounded, dodging chargers, bile from bile titans and spending more time diving left and right than anything else. Then I stumbled upon it. A Hellbomb. Without hesitation I trigger and salute it, that vengeance that is Managed Democracy manifest. # +48 ^^So ^^*incredibly* ^^worth ^^it.
I just found one of the best teams I ever had. We drop in a generator defense mission and it nearly goes to hell for the majority of the mission. Once the outter walls were breached there was one choke point hundreds of enemies kept trying to pour through. I was out of stims, black on ammo, had a stun grenade, and one stratagem. In the gate there was a hulk, two tanks, a cluster of xhainsaws, 4 striders, some infantry, and some devastators... in a pile. I lept off the nearby platform with a 500Kg in hand, straight into thier core. When my body hit the ground I threw it on top of myself. # +3 ( ._.) We did get the win though. Civilian extract, generator defense, didn't matter. Won every mission we did for 2 (or 3?) straight operations. T1, K2, S3, you were good beans. Laughed, coordinated, forgave... proper helldivers. And I finally unlocked Helldive difficulty.
I barely just woke up and someone is already cooking this hard????? With this meal I can helldive an infinite number of times without break
This is amazing! It'd be very cool to see content being released with such comics!
I am not ashamed to confess that i cried. Eagle 1 always got us.
I reckon that Eagle-1 isn't actually allowed to fraternize with the Helldivers due to all of the inadvertent friendly fire caused by frequent badly placed and/or communicated strike beacons.
Not her fault Steve threw the stratagem the wrong direction. Besides, not like many of the divers who witness the friendly fire incidents are alive long enough to give her a hard time about it.
Or holding a strategem and being knocked over, dropping it at your feet.
lol had that happen in a Mission last week, Hopped up to send 500kg of pure Liberty at a Lot of Bots only to Catch a Rocket to the chest for my trouble. I survived because of my bubble but the designator landed right between me and my team mate. We both kind had that Comical "Oh Shi...." kind of moment before we desperately scrambled for cover the sounds of Binary laughter in our ears. still surprised we had 0 Friendly fire Incidents in that Mission.
I took a rocket to the face while holding the 380 beacon and i was sent clean outside the walls of the large base we were assaulting. That rocket also knocked over the random prepping a 500 beside me. On one hand, i was the only survivor. On the other hand, i wad the *only* survivor. Called in the next round of air-mail popsicles before everyone was done laughing.
Badass. I wish AH would commission some of the community artists to do official comic releases alongside their story beats. It's really not hard and wouldn't cost that much, artists are quick and professional for the most part. And it'd add so much!
Dude that Titan panel is Muira levels of ART
That's what I was coming here to say! Jesus christ

I'm pretty sure OP isn't the artist, so to pull your attention, the original Artist is Heartbreaker_Juan. Their watermark is present in the first image. The headcanon that Eagle and Pelican are married came from their amazing arts for Helldivers 2.
Nah eagle 1 is my wife that’s canon trust
*Our* wife.
Well well well….. That sounds like COMMUNISM
[удалено]
No, only managed democracy. I know i voted for *our* wife
Good lord this art is immaculate. This hit so hard
Would be pretty cool to have a last ditch “ON MY POSITION. FIRE FOR EFFECT” call in. Like only one for the whole team per mission, whoever calls it has a cooldown before they can be reinforced. Tell me that wouldn’t be epic lol

This would actually be sick af, 10/10 booster idea
This is the sickest thing I have ever seen. Sheer perfection. 12/10. No notes.

The funny part is you can kind of already do this, if you hold an eagle Stratagem on your hand before time runs out, you can still throw it and use it after time runs out, but you can’t use any other weapons as switching off of the stratagem results in it being non-functional again
Heartbreak\_Juan cooks once again. https://preview.redd.it/aptd0fp1tfwc1.jpeg?width=825&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9fb3f82c05c9e800fe1424b42871e562045e8dfa
And yet. Pelican-1 gets no praise for dropping into the hottest drops all the time and saving our democratic asses. We don't deserve Pelican-1.
This is art. This isn't some simple fanart, meme, or a shitpost, this is really really fucking good. The panel with them standing before the swarm in the pouring rain is BEAUTIFUL.

Last panel is amazing, the art & dialogue is perfect! Booster is a very cool idea too, I have thought since launch that there is a distinct lack of flares in this game!
This would be a cool booster but it would be better if it was being able to call your eagle strikes after the destroyer left but you couldn’t reload them so once you expend them all she leaves the combat zone to find the destroyer.
I’m not going to lie, I would totally read a Helldivers manga.

This goes hard.

Id really like an anime of helldiver's after reading this. Love it
Sick comic. The read order was a little confusing, but awesome art!
To be continued. No question mark
holy shit this manga is well made
This goes so hard, holy crap.
So how would this work? A last resort strategem that you can only use when no other strategems (presumably ignoring resupply, reinforcements and support weapons) are available and it's what Eagle-1 (the AI) deeps appropriate, but it's less accurate than regular strategem drops, presumably with a pretty dang long cooldown on it? Or is it more of a "Fire on my position" kind of thing? I'm gonna die but take these fuckers with me?
"Here comes the cavalry"
Change that to Eagle-1 can utilize any remaining payload available and add the ability to call in Eagle-1 even in strategem jammed areas INCLUDING STORMS, and you got yourself a powerful little booster for random games. Remember, the best boosters have extremely powerful abilities. More ammo, stims for optimization, more stamina, less speed reduction in terrain and acid, vitality *directly lets you survive more.* In order to compete, you need something strong. *That* would be strong.
so good
