You know your movie, TV show or video game has made it when people start creating fan fiction out of it. While some forms of this fiction are deep and meaningful, 𒆙action video games have their own trope based on the protagonist doing something cool. John Halo, John Warhammer, and many such Johns are a res🦹ult of this trope.

Helldivers 2 Isn't A Dead Game, So Stop Calling It That

We🌄 need to stop using the term for games that si▨mply don't deserve it.

So, when you see a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Helldivers 2 clip of a play𓄧er doing something like taking out a Bile Titan by rocket jumping onto it and calling in a 500Kg Bomb on its head, that's none other than John Helldiver. It's a fun little term used by fans when they see players doing something cool. Now, it turns out John Helldiver is canon.

The Legendary Helldiver Is Real

Arrowhead's 60-day patch plan has finally come to an end, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:overhauling th⛎e game's weapons and Stratagems to the delight of players. While the main focus of the patch were weapons like 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the P-4 Senator and the Breaker, the for the removal of the Automaton Hulk'🤪s newly introduced cannon had a fun little story to it.

"In response to their disappro🐲val of a𒁃 newly installed cannon on the Automaton Hulk Bruisers, Super Earth High Command sent a crack commando to sabotage their production facilities," said the patch note. "The skilled operative promptly escaped into the shadows after completing their mission. Today, still wanted by the Automatons, they survive as a soldier of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can enlist… John Helldiver"

Despite the initial nerfs that drove a lot of players away, Arrowhead has engaged with the🃏 community very well, incorporating popular memes and fan-favourite instances into its communication. With these few lines, t𓂃he devs have once again shown how clued in they are with the community.

🃏A commando single-handedly infiltrating an A🍷utomaton stronghold to permanently cripple their production seems almost impossible, but it's all in a day's work for John Helldiver. So, next time you see an unknown squadmate pull off an awesome series of moves, it might just be the legendary soldier of fortune.

There also seems to be another cheeky reference, this time to the recently released Silent Hill 2 remake. "General Brasch returns from holiday retreat in foggy hillside town," says the patch not🍃e.

The latest update has inspired former Helldivers to re-enlist themselves for the cause. After the initial drop, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the𝐆 playe🧸r count for the game almost tripled. It turns out that if you🧸 players don't like it if you nerf their favourite weapons – a lesson that Arrowhead appears to have 🦋learned.
