SEAF Deployment Mechanics
On planets with the heaviest SEAF presence, squads are sent in Pelicans to support. They push towards objectives and counter enemy incursions. Players can hug every SEAF.

Rank Cap Increase
The rank cap is increased to 300. Veteran divers who were capped at 150 will have a new rank attributed based on experience gained while capped.

New Illuminati Enemies
The Illuminati have created new abominations: the Wretch and the Crusher. The Wretch is made of limbs; aim for limbs, not the head. The Crusher regenerates if you stop attacking it.

Combat Strategy
Keep shooting and moving; don't stay in one place. Enemies either soak up damage or need to be broken down. Standing still attracts enemies.
The trailer sets up a major battle, introducing new allied squad roles, a higher rank cap, and formidable new enemies, emphasizing dynamic combat and teamwork.

[00:07] >> Illuminates attack. Fresh horrors are mounting another assault on Vuruga Bay, trying to prevent Super Earth from venturing into the void. Promoting the most experienced Helldivers and deploying SEAF, high command seeks to
[00:19] curb this undemocratic aggression from threats devoid of liberty. the SEAF, can now deploy anywhere in the galactic war. Fighting next to a real
[00:34] Helldiver is the biggest honor a SEAF can imagine. It's like meeting your favorite rock star and then getting to play a set together. They've also been updated with new defined squad roles. First, we have the squad leader,
[00:47] the front lines and give them tactical orders. Next, we have the rifleman, trustworthy boots on the ground armed with the ever democratic Liberator. The specialist, the heavy support squadman, armed with a machine gun and an
[01:02] expendable anti-tank launcher. Last but not least, the medic, armed with [music] a Defender SMG, the stim pistols, and stim injectors. They are responsible for keeping their fellow SEAFs [music] and you, the Helldivers, in fighting
[01:15] condition. When you fight on a planet with the heaviest SEAF presence tag, the Helldivers and send in squads in Pelicans to support. When deployed, they will push towards objectives and counter attack enemy incursions. And remember,
[01:30] attack enemy incursions. And remember, you can hug every SEAF. to 300. If you are a veteran diver who've been diving a lot while capped at
[01:43] 150, do not worry. We've been tracking you very closely. When you log back in, a new rank will be attributed to you based on the experience that you have gained while capped. >> This is a horror
[01:58] These are the new abominations that the Illuminati have created. We've had the voteless roaming around here and there. They are kind of the creations [music] of the Illuminati that were made just as the invasion started. And now they've
[02:12] the invasion started. And now they've been working on more refined things, more nasty things. What you need to focus on is keep shooting and moving and don't stay at one place for too long. Because
[02:25] these enemies are one of two parts. Either they soak up a lot or you have to break them down. Wherever you stand still, enemies will just keep flowing into that area. The wretch is made out of the limbs of democracy. To keep them
[02:41] down, you want to aim for the limbs. You want to aim for every other part than the head. The crusher is on a death march. It just keeps going and it just keep attacking it with everything you have cuz the second you stop looking at
[02:57] it, the second you stop attacking it, it regenerates. So, these are creatures that are born in the void and because the void can appear anywhere, they can appear anywhere.
