Who Are The Illuminate?

In the first Helldivers, the Illuminate made themselves known as psionic aliens with a penchant for barriers and projectiles. The Illuminate, also known as the Squ'ith, have endured for hundreds of years and created powerful weapons of mass destruction. Their society places an emphasis on knowledge, as far as we know.

Originally aquatic creatures, the Illuminate's most prominent feature is tentacles. It's known that they dress in ceremonial robes and use their advanced technology to control other sentient beings. Efficiency is a priority, and one that leads to lethal consequences if you aren't vigilant.

The Illuminate have access to cloa𝓡king technology, making them hard to spot on the battlefield.

While the Illuminate initially offered peace, the Super Earth government declined due to the existence of the Squ'ith's obliterator bombs. The technological advancements of the Illuminate make them a threat to Super Earth.

Below is all we know about the Illuminate's forces:

What Happened to The Illuminate?

Upon the release of Helldivers 2, the Illuminate are not present. According to Super Earth, humanity exterminated them by the year 2184. Some soldiers have reported 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:seeing blue lasers that cause damage, though there's no evidence to support that the Illuminate are behind it.

However, sometimes crew members of the ship will mention the Illuminate as a previous threat, and a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:leaked audio clip captures the moments that Helldivers are murdere💫d, screaming about "tentacles".
