The bugs are savage. Mindless animals doing what their instincts tell them. The bots are machines. Programmed to kill without a second thought. The Illuminate have conscience. They are driven by rage and hatred.

Theory Escorting Illuminate VIP I feel like maybe, during the first galactic war, when the divers beat the illuminate they might have surrendered and embraced democracy, but a faction that rebeled against it might have split from the main civilisation to form a new Anti-democracy faction, or the other way around with the splinter cell embracing democracy and the main group being anti democracy
It's more likely that only a fraction of the raise, accepted democracy while the rest are pissed off, for a few reasons 1.mass murder of species 2.attempted peace but got tech stolen 3.got concord on their one planets Newest one 4.theirs a fraction that has joined the Helldivers
Perhaps the vip is a bioengineered creature not much bigger than a football, with tiny limbs and a large head, used like a computer or tactician of some sort, that you have to carry to extraction, like the others. Or maybe they are more against their own peoples culture than they are against super earth. (There is evidence that the illuminate have some sort of religious powers). Or maybe we are just kidnapping someone lol.
I remember first playing against the bugs and then whenever i switched to the automatons for the first time i struggled so hard to the difference of the two enemies.... I don't want to go through that again.
Imagine doing a mission VS illuminates and then there is a title saying "Illuminate Portal detected" and a damn portal spawns in front of you, spawning these high tech guys
I am genuinely sad I can’t play this game anymore, ever since I moved to Egypt I just couldn’t connect to other peoples ships, so only solo play works and inviting my friends did not work for them, it’s probably a region thing but either way I won’t play the game alone cus then where’s the fun in that?
Everyone speculating about the liumanants is ruining this fucking game cause all its doing is making people overly excited for an enemy that isnt developed yet
I picked a very good time to pick this game up. I've only been playing for the past two weeks, but it already feels amazing spreading managed democracy
It may be far-fetched, but I’m really hoping that these Illuminate are from a different timeline cause apparently Super earth is very very certain they wiped them out completely gone extinct but these Illuminate come from another timeline a timeline where they won the war against super earth further expanding their empire and because of the black hole we created, they got a glimpse of another timeline our timeline where they not only lost but were wiped out enraging them to come over and repeat what they done in their timeline a battle of the ages is upon us
i feel like we are missing something from the left we have the clankers from the right we got the bugs the illuminate are probally come from under the Galaxy for a surprise atack but whst about the top of the galaxy?
Its always the biggest patch ever. Always some obscure reference to ooooh the illuminate are making an appearance. Arrowhead and youtubers clearly never heard the story of boy who cried wolf. Or chicken little for that matter. Getting kinda sad at this point honestly.
Alright, get this. Illuminate is a faction, but also can occasionally appear on bug planets, fighting the bugs and you. Additionally they could team up with automotons or something, cause the game has told us the automatons and illuminate are talking to each other.
Almost all. Partly because armor values and weak spot health values are being adjusted, but also because the majority of weapons in the game got attention individually.
On behalf of the ministry of truth helldivers please stop spreading rumours of our defeated foes returning they have been cast from our galaxy after there defeat any helldivers caught spreading fake rumours will be investigated 👀 - best of luck from foundation
All dissident propaganda super earth said the invasion that showed on the galactic map was nothing more than contaminated hardware super earth wiped out those squids centuries ago 😂
This game is dead. Everythings been nerfed into the ground, the community is so toxic that they will kick anyone for not using a "meta" build or just repeatedly kill you for the lols, and the CMs are a bunchnof degenerate furries and Arrowhead refuses to do anything about it. Go play Space Marine 2 instead amd actually have fun
It's a Sony exclusive. Sony has been holding on very tightly to exclusives. Not to mention they have enough bugs and issues to work on without a whole other system to worry about porting to. But still. It'd be nice.
@@Deadspace251 they finaly understod that nerfing evrything into the ground was a bad idear so now evrything gets buffed tomorow even flamethrower gets buff so it is back to its former glory and beond. but if they fuck up one more time the game is going to become 2nd concord.

If they invert my look controls, I'm screwed.

@@Broomer52They haven't managed to spawn naturally in any way, all in game footage is from dataminers loading them in
28 kills but no solid pic of a body? I doubt that
If we have some illuminate support that could mean new weapons and strategems
They were annoying but I have to admit they're shields and cloaking are great

Dude imagine if we could go into one of the warp gates and it leads us to a whole illuminate planet like half life
Damn they got the halo proph- i mean illusionists leading them
The illuminate do not exist.

ah ok then
Makes sense
dude everyone says "they'll be here soon!" but let's be real they'll be there in maybe a year or so?
I remember first playing against the bugs and then whenever i switched to the automatons for the first time i struggled so hard to the difference of the two enemies.... I don't want to go through that again.
We're all gonna have to learn to fight bullshit wizardry when illuminates show up
Hopefully the three C's of the bots work against the illuminate as well
cover, cover, and more cover
inability to adapt is a sign of low intelligence
Loop Hero… you have excellent taste in music my friend

It's been known since launch. We've had these models since launch day.
And all these “sightings” have pretty much been debunked as fakes, to bad click baiters don’t care
So Terrain is fighting Zergs at the moment with Protoss joining shortly. I can dig that
I've seen the floating ones in game, they don't attack but definitely stand out with the blue
Where?
@@LegendOhilHelldivers 1
I also played it. Illuminate is a pain in the asss a lot of the time
Bullshit, this photo is from a leaker that rendered the model in game
why do the illusionists look like the prophets from halo
could this mean we see terminids bots illuminids and helldivers fight in a hellish 1 planet battle royal??
Will we ever find more democracy lovers in the galaxy
For democracy sake, not the escort mission.
NPC faster then player walking, NPC slower then player running.
Im so tired of people saying its happening. Its "happened" like 20 times now. Just stfu and tell us when they are ACTUALLY added.
I am genuinely sad I can’t play this game anymore, ever since I moved to Egypt I just couldn’t connect to other peoples ships, so only solo play works and inviting my friends did not work for them, it’s probably a region thing but either way I won’t play the game alone cus then where’s the fun in that?
Man that choice of background music is top tier.
Illuminate civil war?! :o
Everyone speculating about the liumanants is ruining this fucking game cause all its doing is making people overly excited for an enemy that isnt developed yet
If it's seeable then it’s within Stinger Anti-Aircraft range! Fire a Warning Shot Private!
I want an actual first person option
i want offline mode
I picked a very good time to pick this game up. I've only been playing for the past two weeks, but it already feels amazing spreading managed democracy
I swear I see weird explosion and event happening in the game I wouldn’t doubt if their trying to get us to see the signs
Thank god this game is still going strong. Just bought my ps5 and will surely enjoy this masterpiece
Welcome to the SEAF, soldier!
@@OniContraverum FOR DEMOCRACY!! 🫡
Do you think that they will add this today? Even though it took months to make but i respect because of all the work they did.
@peely_banana6537 Its gotta be getting close
Next month I reckon
maybe they’ll strike on Liberty Day
A.H. will wait for a big player drop and then introduce the Illuminate. (my prediction)
I give them around Suoer Earth day time. frame.@PHIZZI

It only took space marine and a nearly dead player base
Man I hope something dumb doesn’t happen to this dev. This is how you really build an epic world to play in over time.
_As the prophecy foretold..._
Ngl I’m assuming the escorting an illuminate vip means that we have an illuminate prisoner that we’re tryna take off world or smth
Goddamn. Shivers.
kinda sad that the newer Strategems are part of the paid battlepass
happy thats the game feels good now at least
theyre still teasing them. Time for a whole wave of nerfs/buffs that you have to read on discord.
yea this could be the case of two sides
i feel like we are missing something from the left we have the clankers from the right we got the bugs the illuminate are probally come from under the Galaxy for a surprise atack but whst about the top of the galaxy?
the tripod looks like war of the worlds
All these updates and i still crash during missions :(
I paid full price for this shit to happen nearly every single mission
What is the name of the music you use in your videos?
What happens if the territory of two factions overlap? What happens if we push the automatons and terminids into one another?

FINALLY!
Can't wait
Oh fuck
They just look like the fallen from Destiny tbh
Any update for the game being put on Xbox?
God, 10 wasn't enough?!
Well are some weapons getting buffed?
Almost all. Partly because armor values and weak spot health values are being adjusted, but also because the majority of weapons in the game got attention individually.
Ill fight the illuminids just because of the tripods
Sooooo... We're fighting Reaper Spawn...
Pls make them democratic we can't keep keep the war going if we have them against
Is Helldivers getting better
WE NEED HELLDIVERS 2 ON XBOX!!!
Yeees ... Yeees ...
Great
Where is that ost from ????
What???
i am pretty damn sure the impaler is the reason my game crashes so often at over difficulty 5 always seems a crash occurs when one is around.
Irons1ghts is the man
Ah shit here we go again
Next patch there going to attack us
Space Marines 2 is literally better in every way rn
Yall won’t be able to survive illuminates let alone the illusionists. People are gonna cry when they get inverted controls on level 10
Should have done this months ago, well they waited too long
I thought freedom’s biggest enemy was sony?
The sightings were modded in models by karma farmers, they were fake
Did sony unban all those countries no then it's not back in the menu
And how about the weapons for us? And maybe some new vehicles, you know, to fight all this new horrid b*******, you're sending us
It's Half life 2 strider .
Let them come I DARE THEM

Jesus yall are really riding this illuminate thing hard. They probably wont appear till next year
