Helldivers 2 gamers have served heroically within the ongoing intergalactic struggle effort, turning out of their hundreds of thousands to patriotically defend Tremendous Earth from the exterior threats of each Bug and Bot. However stories have begun to trickle in a couple of new enemy faction transferring within the shadows, or maybe extra appropriately, the return of an previous nemesis, one often known as The Illuminate. Some even suspect they already stroll amongst us, which is clearly defeatist nonsense.
The Illuminate have been an enemy faction within the first Helldivers, an historical and technologically superior race of aliens hellbent on destroying Tremendous Earth. Everyone knows they have been worn out way back. Like these pernicous, utterly false stories of flying bugs (thanks, IGN), they merely don’t exist.
Nonetheless, some patriots, maybe affected by battle fatigue, are reporting coming beneath hearth from a “vibrant blue laser”, which some assume matches the power signature of sniper weaponry employed by The Illuminate beforehand. It is fairly distinct from the pink power weapons utilized by each Helldivers and Bots, however visible proof stays inconclusive.
It is best to most likely additionally ignore the in-game messages about Illuminate sightings. Tremendous Earth Excessive Command’s official line is that “blue beams aren’t actual, it might probably’t damage you”, and the account Helldivers Alerts (our conspiracy principle is that the devs run it) supplied a leaked take a look at our historical enemy.
