General Brasch is becoming a beloved tall-tale in Helldivers 2

Did you know General Brasch can use an Eagle 500kg Bomb as a grenade? Yes, the man behind those military training videos has led a more storied life than you may believe. General Brasch is becoming a legend among the Helldivers 2 community, and his tale is only getting started. The Brasch facts, or perhaps the "True Stories of General Brasch," seem to have originated with this post on the official Helldivers 2 subreddit earlier in the week. Reddit user GraeyRebis dropped a handful of impossible Brasch tales, such as my favorite: "General Brasch once killed 7 Chargers with a Railgun. And then he reloaded." The Helldivers 2 community was quickly inspired to add to the legacy of General Brasch. The official Helldivers 2 account on X (formerly Twitter) also joined in, sharing this absolutely true story of Super Earth's mightiest hero: https://twitter.com/helldivers2/status/1779875631334899883 General Brasch turns Common Samples into Super Samples by staring at them For those old enough to remember the bygone days of the internet, these tall tales may feel a bit... familiar. The "Chuck Norris Facts" meme is a classic internet yarn that — nearly two decades ago — turned the former TV star into a god who could beat the sun in a staring contest. With General Brasch now being elevated to mythical status, we can say with confidence that time is indeed a flat circle. Obviously, it's all in fun. I've been scrolling through Brasch facts on Reddit, having a good laugh while sipping tea (the Liber kind, with lemon). Some of the stories are lifted from the Norris era, but refreshed with a Helldivers twist, while others may be Brasch originals. Here are some good ones: "General Brasch once threw an impact grenade and killed 20 rocket devastators. Then it exploded." "General Brasch's beard trimmer requires heavy armor penetration to be effective." "Children check under their beds at night for Automatons. Automatons check under their beds at night for General Brasch." "The first use of the orbital gatling barrage was just General Brasch firing his service pistol from a open hangar bay in his ship." "General Brasch doesn't actually helldive onto the planet - the planet rushes up to meet his feet instead." Be sure to check out the stories when you can. I hear that reading the General Brasch tales makes it so Helldivers 2 players become more immune to the over-tuned fire.
