In Helldivers 2, most brave soldiers commit high treason without realizing it. A new recruit has now inquired about the punishment, which is severe.
How can one not notice treachery? In Helldivers 2, most players have likely already committed high treason without knowing it. A new recruit recently posted on Reddit with a screenshot. This shows a message that announces the intro video of Helldivers 2 at the game’s start.
The message reads:
Super Earth Ministry of Truth
Please note the following patriotic announcement.
Distractions of your attention will be considered treachery.Thank you for your cooperation.
Announcement for the launch of Helldivers 2 via Reddit
After this message, the familiar intro video of Helldivers 2 follows, which you can also watch here:
The highest penalty for high treason
What does the punishment for treachery look like? Anyone who does not watch the video with full concentration at every game start or even skips it commits treachery against Super Earth. For veterans on Reddit, it is clear that this is not a simple form of treachery, but directly high treason.
They warn the new recruit not to let their eyes wander away from the screen even for a moment. Otherwise, the highest penalty may await them. This is said to be the imminent end of service to Super Earth through the use of armed force.
How are the new recruits of Helldivers 2 doing? Most of the new players of Helldivers 2 come from Xbox Series X|S. There, the co-op shooter launched on August 26 and has also caused a stir on other platforms.
At the same time, the developers also published their next big announcement. Starting September 2, the Helldivers will be able to advance into the home worlds of the insects in the big “Into the Unjust” update and fight against the Terminids in new underground tunnels.
The deployment is also expected to be particularly challenging. Not only will new and stronger enemies await the Helldivers, but the limited support from the spaceships will present the brave soldiers with new challenges. In the caves, there can actually be no covering fire from allies.
That many honorable soldiers fight for Super Earth and still commit punishable high treason at every game start was probably not clear to most. Many players typically skip intro sequences to be able to start playing quickly. The new recruits also help in the fight against a faction that was previously extremely unpopular: Players have been waiting forever for a new faction in Helldivers 2, but now no one wants to play against them anymore
