Admiral Defense

“	The Ministry of Defense has awarded a multitrillion-Supercredit contract to AM Defense.	„
	~ "Operation Bughammer" Major Order Briefing

Admiral Defense, officially shortened to AM Defense, is a defense contractor that specialized in providing military gear to the S.E.A.F.'s line infantry. However, in December 2184, they would begin construction work on a new factory with the aim of expanding their services towards the provision of gear to the Helldiver Corps, having secured a multi-trillion Super Credit contract with the government.

With the completion of their multi-complex factory hub at Achernar Secundus, fleetwide deployment of the Fast Recon Vehicle (FRV) is now possible.

Trivia

• The name of this company may be taken from the villain of I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream, in which a sentient supercomputer called AM has taken over Earth and killed off all of humanity barring 5 individuals, in an act of revenge against the humans for creating it and giving it sentience yet no means to act upon it. In an ironic twist, AM's name in that story comes from the acronym "Allied Mastercomputer" and was built by the United States in order to wage a global war against Russia and China, both of which had also built respective supercomputers.
• Alternatively, the name may be a take on the General Dynamics corporation, one of the largest defense contractors in North America.
• Johan Pilestedt jokingly said that AM stands for "Angry Mom" on the Helldivers Discord.

Ståhl Arms

Due to the reemergence of the Illuminate extremists -- as well as the amount of ammo, stratagems, and lives of heroes used to combat them -- the Federation's Q4 defense budget for 2184 was put under unexpected strain. To address this issue, the Ministry of Defense entered into a contract with reputable arms manufacturer Ståhl Arms. All Helldivers were then effective immediately granted access to 3 new weapons manufactured by them: the StA-52 Assault Rifle, the StA-11 SMG, and the PLAS-39 Accelerator Rifle.

Trivia

• Ståhl Arms is, of course, a reference to Stahl Arms, the Helghast arms manufacturer known for developing and producing weapons for the military of the Helghan Empire from the Killzone series, which Helldivers 2 had its first collaborative event with.
• Ståhl is a Swedish surname from ståhl, an ornamental spelling of stål, or 'steel' in English.

Bug Fest

Bug Fest billboard

Another popular fast food restaurant chain whose advertisements and restaurants can be found in more urbanized settlements across the Federation, Bug Fest seems to have a distinctly Terminid theme.

While they serve burgers, BBQ, kebabs and wok's, it is currently unknown whether the restaurants use real meat harvested from the Terminids in their food or if this is merely bug-themed advertisement. Still, in the aftermath of Operation Pest Control, some collected insecticide biomass was put towards agricultural protein rations for displaced citizens, so it is possible that they do use real Terminid meat.
