InHelldivers 2, there is only one ally you may really count on. No, I’m not talking about other Helldivers, who spent the first month shooting their budsfor samples. I mean Eagle 1, who rains death from above. But who is Eagle 1 inHelldivers 2?
Eagle 1 is the call sign of the pilot (no, not Bill Pullman) who gets summoned with Eagle Stratagems. Helldivers one and all will recognize the voice behind the jet that screams onto the battlefield, belting out such quotes as “Coming in hot!” and “An Eagle never misses.” One of these is a lie. She doesn’t have a real name or an in-game face. But the community has submitted some, erm, fascinatingpieces of Eagle 1 fan art.
The work of fan artists hasn’t escaped the sharp eyes of the officialHelldivers 2account on X (formerly Twitter), sharinga piece by @SpiritDraws_S.
Helldivers 2: Eagle 1 ship location and voice actor
But who is the voice of Eagle 1 inHelldivers 2?Eagle 1 is voicedby Rachel Kimsey, who’s worked as a professional actor for about 25 years. Her more notable roles include Mackenzie Browning inThe Young and the Restless, Meredith Hudson inDays of Our Lives, and Wonder Woman inJustice League Action, with many minor parts otherwise. She began voicing for video games in 2007 as Betty Brant inSpider-Man 3. Kimsey has since lent her voice toGenshin Impact, twoCall of Dutygames,Horizon Zero Dawn,New World, and, of course,Helldivers 2.
Though you don’t know what she looks like, you are at least able to check out her craft while on your Super Destroyer ship. The Eagle Fighter is docked in the Hangar with its wings folded down. Typically, you’re not able to go down there and get a closer look unless a bug causes you to clip past the handrails surrounding the hangar (it’s happened to me twice now).
The community has demonstrateda clear adorationfor their bird in the sky, even if Super Earth makes Eagle 1’s life a bit rough. You can upgrade your Eagle Stratagems at theShip Management menu, adding more bombs to a payload or reducing cooldown. But it’s often at a cost.
The description for the Hangar upgrades are a tough read. ‘XXL Weapons Bay’, for example, adds one more bomb to certain Stratagems “by removing unnecessary systems such as fire suppression, ejection, and airbags” from the Eagle Fighter. Be kind; the fight for freedom is rough for everyone.
