Helldivers 2 is a survival shooter title published by Sony Entertainment and developed by Arrowhead Game Studios. The direct sequel to the 2015 top-down shooter Helldivers, the game shares a huge portion of lore and in-game mechanics with its predecessor.
Helldivers featured three enemy factions, namely the Bugs or Terminids, the Cyborgs of Automatons and another alien civilization called the Illuminates. While the Terminids and Automatons are the main enemy type in Helldivers 2, many recent leaks have suggested the arrival of Illuminates as the third enemy faction.
Although the Illuminates were only present in leaks, Helldivers 2 players have been finding proof of the new enemy type making their way into the game.
Helldivers 2 players find proof of the Illuminates
In a recent thread in the Helldivers 2 subreddit, a player shared a screenshot containing the stats of Super Earth. While the stats seem normal, a single stat stands out as an anomaly. The anomaly is 16 illuminate kills on Super Earth.
More players joined with their own observations about Illuminate presence in the game. One player quoted, "We will occasionally see 1 helldivers deployed on planets like cyberstan. My guess is the devs test things from time to time and the location gets logged weird because they aren’t actually in a deployable zone."
Cyberstan is a locked planet right now. So, its safe to assume that once the Illuminates are officially added to the game, players will have to face off against them in Cyberstan for their fight for liberty.
Majority of players in the thread shared their thoughts on how the Illuminates might get introduced to the game which might be through an attack on Super Earth or the inner sectors of the map.
All Helldivers 2 players must prepare of the arrival of the toughest enemy type in the game before the next major update. Furthermore, the next major update also contains a new warbond containing strong weapons which might be a counter for the upcoming Illuminate enemy classes.
