Helldivers 2 gamers have served heroically within the ongoing intergalactic warfare effort, turning out of their thousands and 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 generally known as The Illuminate. Some even suspect they already stroll amongst us, which is clearly defeatist nonsense.
The Illuminate had been an enemy faction within the first Helldivers, an historical and technologically superior race of aliens hellbent on destroying Tremendous Earth. Everyone knows they had 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 suppose matches the power signature of sniper weaponry employed by The Illuminate beforehand. It is fairly distinct from the crimson power weapons utilized by each Helldivers and Bots, however visible proof stays inconclusive.
It’s 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 may well’t damage you”, and the account Helldivers Alerts (our conspiracy concept is that the devs run it) supplied a leaked have a look at our historical enemy.
