Fans of the original game may not be too surprised to hear this, but seeing how popular Helldivers 2 is<\/a> proving to be in comparison, many of us may not be privy \u2013 as there has been no specific mention of them in the roadmap<\/a>.<\/p>\n No matter the enemy<\/a>, we\u2019ll make sure you\u2019re ready to see off any foe (unless you\u2019re on Xbox<\/a> or PS4<\/a>) at any difficulty level<\/a> with your friends in crossplay<\/a> or even if you\u2019re playing solo<\/a>.<\/p>\n We can\u2019t protect you from being \u2018Rickrolled\u2019 by the developers<\/a>, unfortunately.<\/p>\n What you can be sure of, though, is collecting every trophy<\/a> by using the best stratagems<\/a> \u2013 server issues<\/a> withstanding \u2013 and mechs<\/a>, too, by the looks of things.<\/p>\n The enemies of Super Earth remain undefeated as you read this, so let\u2019s get to it!<\/p>\n The Illuminate are a highly advanced civilisation found in the original Helldivers<\/strong> who are known to themselves as the Squ\u2019ith.<\/p>\n Originally an aquatic species, they have spread out across the stars with a neural network that allows them to traverse space.<\/p>\n While not present in Helldivers 2, a datamine \u2013 which also revealed stratagems like mechs \u2013 suggests that The Illuminate will be set for a return in Helldivers 2.<\/p> We even get an idea of what enemies to expect:<\/p>\n New Faction \u2013 Illuminate<\/b><\/p>\n The Illusionist, Obelisk and Outcast were present in the original game, making the Adept, Ghoul, Pathfinder and Summoner new to Helldivers 2.<\/p>\n This was uncovered by Redditor u\/stodal, who shared<\/a> it on the r\/GamingLeaksAndRumours subreddit.<\/p>\n Whether or not this means we can expect to see The Illuminate in Helldivers 2 remains to be seen, but it seems very possible at the least \u2013 owing to the fact that uncovered mechs have been confirmed.<\/p>\n Also found in the datamine is a Nuke stratagem \u2013 perhaps something players will need to take on the mighty Squ\u2019ith.<\/p>\nWho are The Illuminate in Helldivers 2? Rumoured new faction explained<\/b><\/h2>\n
