In Helldivers 2, there is just one ally you’ll be able to actually matter on. No, I’m not speaking about different Helldivers, who spent the primary month capturing their buds for samples. I imply Eagle 1, who rains dying from above. However who’s Eagle 1 in Helldivers 2?

Eagle 1 is the decision signal of the pilot (no, not Invoice Pullman) who will get summoned with Eagle Stratagems. Helldivers every one will acknowledge the voice behind the jet that screams onto the battlefield, belting out such quotes as “Coming in sizzling!” and “An Eagle by no means misses.” One in every of these is a lie. She doesn’t have an actual identify or an in-game face. However the group has submitted some, erm, fascinating items of Eagle 1 fan artwork.

The work of fan artists hasn’t escaped the sharp eyes of the official Helldivers 2 account on X (previously Twitter), sharing a chunk by @SpiritDraws_S.

Helldivers 2: Eagle 1 ship location and voice actor

However who’s the voice of Eagle 1 in Helldivers 2? Eagle 1 is voiced by Rachel Kimsey, who’s labored as knowledgeable actor for about 25 years. Her extra notable roles embody Mackenzie Browning in The Younger and the Stressed, Meredith Hudson in Days of Our Lives, and Marvel Girl in Justice League Motion, with many minor components in any other case. She started voicing for video video games in 2007 as Betty Brant in Spider-Man 3. Kimsey has since lent her voice to Genshin Impression, two Name of Responsibility video games, Horizon Zero Daybreak, New World, and, in fact, Helldivers 2.

Although you don’t know what she appears to be like like, you might be a minimum of ready to take a look at her craft whereas in your Tremendous Destroyer ship. The Eagle Fighter is docked within the Hangar with its wings folded down. Usually, you’re not capable of go down there and get a better look until a bug causes you to clip previous the handrails surrounding the hangar (it’s occurred to me twice now).

The group has demonstrated a transparent adoration for his or her fowl within the sky, even when Tremendous Earth makes Eagle 1’s life a bit tough. You possibly can improve your Eagle Stratagems on the Ship Administration menu, including extra bombs to a payload or decreasing cooldown. Nevertheless it’s usually at a price.

The outline for the Hangar upgrades are a tricky learn. ‘XXL Weapons Bay’, for instance, provides yet another bomb to sure Stratagems “by eradicating pointless techniques corresponding to hearth suppression, ejection, and airbags” from the Eagle Fighter. Be form; the battle for freedom is tough for everybody.
