The Outcasts: Really fun to fight because they dodge a lot but are also manageable and are really frail. I can’t believe they were removed from the game.

Rating: 10/10 It is foul that these guys got scrapped.

The Xenobite and its upgraded variant: pretty annoying especially their upgraded variant and are pretty tanky but only if you don’t aim for their heads and thankfully they take a while to actually attack you. A lot less annoying than the overseers tho because you can at least neutralize them if you shoot them in the head with any weapon unlike the overseer that has a medium pen head.

Rating 7/10 Could use some tweaks but they shouldn’t have been scrapped.

The Magus Adepts: kinda annoying but are kinda fun as well because their energy balls slow you down and can summon barrier that protects them but are frail once you take out the shields and the barrier can be flanked as well. However, they are a lot less annoying than the elavated overseer.

Rating: 7/10 Same with the Xenobites, could use some tweaks but they shouldn’t have been scrapped.

Zealots: The only one that I can consider being underpowered. Sure it summons ghouls and attacks you with a whip but that’s all it does and the ghouls are barely a threat.

Rating: 5/10 Could really use a few buffs

The Sentinel: It’s faster but much weaker than the harvester in terms of firepower, the beam kinda tickles and the arc only slows you down. The harvester is definitely the better of the two.

Rating: 6/10 The harvester is definitely the better version.

The Baneful Sentinel: Lives up to its name and is the only one that I can understand being scrapped. It’s like the sentinel but with a homing mortar attack that will instakill you, you cannot run away from it.

Rating: 0/10 this thing can go straight into the trash.

The illusionist: A hard but fun and fair unit. It has a wide range of attacks such as those giant instakill energy balls that the baneful sentinel has but it is a lot more fair because you can actually dodge it and I think it has a smaller explosion radius, I’m pretty sure he summons those energy balls that the magus shoot, and much more.

Rating: 9/10 A well designed unit.

This was not entirely what I was expecting out of the Cultists but jfc arrowhead why the fuck did you scrap them?! They could’ve been improved for Christ sake…

It’s generally embarrassing that we got stuff like this before the illuminate aka the faction that has teleportation as one of its main gimmicks…

Reposted because glazers tried to do damage control on the previous post.

The Grotesques are literally just reanimated infantry so creating mindless cannon fodder slaves isn’t really unique to the illuminate because anyone could do it while the Butchers is very similar to the Fleshmob which isn’t that outlandish to compare because they are just a bullet sponges that charge at you.

Like I get that maybe making something like this on change.org can be perceived as a little weird at worst but saying that this is more pathetic than the doxxing incident is definitely an opinion to say the least…

It’s almost like people prefer to fight an advanced alien race and not Walmart great value Terminids.

Edit: I know that SEAF is on the planet as well but that actually makes it worse for the void snatchers lol.

They were done to the point where they had literal independent faces and eye movement.

From what I have seen so far these guys look piss easy to fight especially because overseers don’t even appear in this sub faction.

The worst case scenario doing this is that Hellmire will fall but will decay on its own and will be liberated on its own.

This is a major stretch but I hope this means cultists!

I’m just saying it would be sick as hell if we got the Helldiver equivalent of Chaos Space Marines in Helldivers 2 instead of another zombie faction.

Think about it. We already have a zombie sub faction (despite being main faction LTE) so why would they add another one? It would be really weird to have two zombie sub factions.

It makes so much sense on why the teddy bear ended up where it did completely fine despite being torn apart in the void. The void was dematerializing the teddy bear and rematerializing it to god knows where!

Didn’t know what tag to put because I usually don’t go to this sub.

I swear that subreddit is a hivemind of bootlickers especially because that post got downvoted seconds after it got posted.

They literally tried arguing that they weren’t close to completion when the game director admitted that it was almost done in the video.

Also, I know the game director was talking about game fantasy and not lore fantasy and I still think the cultists could’ve worked with a few touch ups here and there instead of completely scrapping them.
