Here's everything you need to know about The Illuminate and whether or not they are coming to Helldivers 2. Who are The Illuminate in the Helldivers universe? The Illuminate is an\u00a0enemy faction in the original\u00a0Helldivers\u00a0game. They are a highly advanced civilization with energy weapons, different forms of barriers, shields, and teleportation tools. The Super Earth pushed The Illuminati out of the galaxy in the first game, and they no longer pose a threat to humanity. In\u00a0Helldivers 2,\u00a0you can speak to the crew on your Super Destroyer, and one of the voice lines will mention the eradication of The Illuminate. They are gone, and they can't hurt us. Or at least, that's what the Ministry of Truth wants you to believe. Will The Illuminate appear in Helldivers 2? There are currently two enemy factions in\u00a0Helldivers 2: Automatons and Terminids. After Helldivers completed the Major Order Swift Disassembly, the\u00a0Automatons were purged\u00a0from the galaxy, leaving only bugs for us to fight. While\u00a0we'll likely see the Automatons return\u00a0in the future,\u00a0players are speculating\u00a0about the possibility of The Illuminate joining the party. There were already multiple rumors in\u00a0Helldivers 2\u00a0regarding The Illuminate. A news report on the Super Destroyer\u00a0mentions The Illuminate sightings.\u00a0Players also reported strange sightings, like the blue laser beams that resembled the Illuminate Sniper shots. On top of that, a\u00a0leak mentioned The Illuminate and its units\u00a0in the game's files, hinting that the faction might be in development. While this is all speculation, I wouldn't be surprised if The Illuminate eventually made their way to\u00a0Helldivers 2. There's enough space on the Galactic Map for at least one new enemy faction, and The Illuminate are an obvious choice.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/HELLDIVERS2_20240208114749.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1191093"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2334"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1191093"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1191093\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1191209,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1191093\/revisions\/1191209"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1128803"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1191093"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1191093"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1191093"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1191093"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1191093"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1191093"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1191093"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Here's everything you need to know about The Illuminate and whether or not they are coming to Helldivers 2. Who are The Illuminate in the Helldivers universe? The Illuminate is an\u00a0enemy faction in the original\u00a0Helldivers\u00a0game. They are a highly advanced civilization with energy weapons, different forms of barriers, shields, and teleportation tools. The Super Earth pushed The Illuminati out of the galaxy in the first game, and they no longer pose a threat to humanity. In\u00a0Helldivers 2,\u00a0you can speak to the crew on your Super Destroyer, and one of the voice lines will mention the eradication of The Illuminate. They are gone, and they can't hurt us. Or at least, that's what the Ministry of Truth wants you to believe. Will The Illuminate appear in Helldivers 2? There are currently two enemy factions in\u00a0Helldivers 2: Automatons and Terminids. After Helldivers completed the Major Order Swift Disassembly, the\u00a0Automatons were purged\u00a0from the galaxy, leaving only bugs for us to fight. While\u00a0we'll likely see the Automatons return\u00a0in the future,\u00a0players are speculating\u00a0about the possibility of The Illuminate joining the party. There were already multiple rumors in\u00a0Helldivers 2\u00a0regarding The Illuminate. A news report on the Super Destroyer\u00a0mentions The Illuminate sightings.\u00a0Players also reported strange sightings, like the blue laser beams that resembled the Illuminate Sniper shots. On top of that, a\u00a0leak mentioned The Illuminate and its units\u00a0in the game's files, hinting that the faction might be in development. While this is all speculation, I wouldn't be surprised if The Illuminate eventually made their way to\u00a0Helldivers 2. There's enough space on the Galactic Map for at least one new enemy faction, and The Illuminate are an obvious choice.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/HELLDIVERS2_20240208114749.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1191093"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2334"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1191093"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1191093\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1191209,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1191093\/revisions\/1191209"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1128803"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1191093"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1191093"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1191093"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1191093"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1191093"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1191093"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1191093"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
