Tremendous Earth residents, right this moment’s a tragic day. Common Brasch, a veteran of the First Galactic Battle and the booming voice guiding gamers by way of the Helldivers 2 tutorial, is seemingly lifeless. However one thing’s not fairly including up.
Flagged by Redditor u/elfengeschreynnn, a transmission from in-game reporter Coretta Kelly broke the information. “In a large leap for Tremendous Earth, the Helldivers have efficiently entered the Gloom,” she states. “Preliminary findings help the speculation of Gloom spores as highly effective mutagens.”
Elsewhere within the war-torn universe, Kelly reviews that “the final surviving hero of the First Galactic Battle has handed away at 103. His last phrases: ‘Serving was my life’s best honour’. And: the College of Tremendous Earth is adopting a brand new standardised patriotism take a look at for admissions. Candidates, be sure that to stretch your saluting arm. And that, is All You Have to Know.”
So far as we have been conscious, Common Brasch was a veteran of the First Galactic Battle and, in his personal phrases, “Tremendous Earth’s oldest and most grizzled conflict hero.” The information report could possibly be referring to him, although it could be odd to omit his identify. As an alternative, the Redditor’s concept is that “both Brasch’s dying was swept below the rug to keep away from media consideration or, a extra undemocratic thought, that Brasch was nothing greater than a propaganda piece, invented by Excessive Command to Encourage Recruits to Be a part of the SEAF.” (Disclaimer: GamesRadar+ doesn’t endorse undemocratic hypothesis.)
Making issues weirder, others within the thread identified that the maths does not precisely add up. Factor is, the First Galactic Battle resulted in 2084. Helldivers 2 is presently set in 2185. So, whoever this conflict veteran is would’ve been two years outdated by the point the conflict ended – both they have been essentially the most democratic, violent child within the universe or Excessive Command retroactively known as anybody alive on the time a “veteran” to instil extra patriotism.
