Summary
- Helldivers 2 leaker and dataminer IronS1ghts shared our first look at a full Illuminate model, along with their weapons.
- Since we've entered the Second Galactic War, it's only a matter of time before Arrowhead introduces the Illuminate to ramp up the difficulty.
- They're a highly advanced species with cloaking tech, energy shields, and laser weaponry. Super Earth claimed to have wiped them out, but clearly that wasn't true.
Last month, we got our 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:first look at the Illumina꧃te in Helldivers 2 thanks to prominent leaker and dataminer IronS1ghts. The image was of a disembodied head with a glowing blue gem l🍃odged in the front, but now we have much betteౠr pictures of one of their full models.
Spoilers for the Illuminate in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Helldivers 2.
In the Reddit post embedded below, we see their ceremonial armour and weaponry. In the original game, they only wore robes, so it looks like they're taking things even more seriously in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the Second Galactic War. Given that they're more technologically advanced than Super Earth, that's pretty worrying.
"This is the first tier unit of the Illuminate 'Guy'. The staff is primarily used alongside the axe by Guy," IronS1ghts explained. "The Illuminate staff is referred to as a 'LightSpear'. It can be used in melee and ranged combat, firing a beam of light if needed. The axe is a two-handed heavy weapon."
The Illuminate Are Getting Closer To Joining The Battle In Helldivers 2
Last month, a broadcast leaked of a Helldiver screaming about tentacles 🐲as they died, referring to the Illuminate. Since then, dataminers have uncovered a slew of in-game models varying from the Squi'ith themselves to their many weapons, such as the Summoner's Whip and Gauntlet.
These discoveries have only increa💯sed over the past couple of weeks, so it looks like developer Arrowhead is preparing to introd💃uce this highly advanced aquatic species sometime soon.
Given that we're now in the Second Galactic War--with community manager Katherine 'Baskinator' Baskin claiming that "all conflict leading up to this was merely an elaborate special operation"--it only makes sense that the Illuminate would be introduced to ramp up the difficulty.
They're highly advanced, with cloaking technology and blue laser weaponry. In the first game, they could turn invisible on the battlefield and use energy shields to deflect our weapons, so they'll prove even more challenging than even the Automatons.
Helldivers 2 is the sequel to the third-person shooter from Arrowhead Game Studios. This time out, the Helldivers are deep in the Galactic War, and it's up to you to bring Managed Democracy to the masses.
