I plan on posting a lot more on this channel when I can. If you guys have any questions, feel free to let me know. Update: Outcasts can now deploy recon drones
@@luigi9458it is initially meant for friendly fire/tesla. I think illuminates gonna have a different kind of “arc”. If it is the same arc, then fighting illuminates with 90%(?) resistance is a bit OP. Basically if you go into illuminate front without the armors, you’re dead in 1 shot, or if you go with it you’re essentially in god mode. Kinda interested to see how Arrowhead is approaching this
To be fair, if I remember correctly they're 100% more technologically advanced than both. Even more than Super Earth. The difference between Automatons and Illuminate is basically Battle Droids and the literal Covenant from Halo. It's no wonder they're more advanced in tech and fighting style.
@@bagel5833 back in hd 1, they are also much more advance than automatons, except they are very squishy and weak, the only thing to compensate for their squishiness is their energy shields
First of all, if no one noticed, "The Prophet" is a direct refrence to Halo, second, people said you may have to lock in to fight bots and uneeded for bugs, BUT THE ILLUMINATE, you gotta be literal military intelligence to play.
Been saying that since launch. They kept hinting how important that day is in game. I tried to tell everyone it’s gonna be a Halloween event and they will be secretly unannounced.
@@IronS1ghts_GamingThere was leaked audio involving the illuminate’s arrival and civilians. From the sounds of it, either the squids invaded during a parade celebrating the HellDivers or they indvaded during a citizen extract mission. Edit: And I just now realized it’s from your channel that I found it lol
Should keep the difference of three types of ememy.Automatons-basically medium or heavy armor,but always got weakpoint.Terminate-from light to heavy,players need a best team to face all situations.Illuminate-basically light,some of them medium armor,but all of them got charging shield.
One thing that does intrigue me quite a bit is the tiers on these illuminate units, between the level 1-2 tripods and mages, the assassin summoner and secondary ghoul. This is definitely going to be the most interesting faction for super earth to slaughter.
I havent played helldivers 1, nor can i see the code, but I speculate that the "fake" variant of the illuminate guys are decoy versions that attack but dont't do damage. There's no real parry system, and you have a gun, so I dont personally see an illuminate fainting an attack, instead projecting a false version to distract you. This would also be really spooky deployed a distance because you'd see twice as many guys than there actually are. Might be wrong, but either way this calamari spicy ah hell wtf.
I just know the bugdivers are gonna have a meltdown over all the aoe, teleportation, and shielding. Looks like the squiddiver contingent has to pull triple duty. I know the botdivers can't spare anyone.
I’m an M.O. Diver, I go where I’m told, do what I’m told, I genuinely don’t get how players don’t play both factions, you’re quite literally only getting half the game you bought by doing that. I will say though, between oil spillers and bug smashers, here’s some wisdom that shows the difference. During bot MO’s, 50% of the players contribute towards the bot side and 95% of them are on the right planets, during bug MO’s, 95% of players are on the bug side but only 50% are on the right planets. Also, I’ve just generally noticed that bug players always split out on planets in ways where zero liberation progress is made, for example, they always have split between Estanu and Crimsica to where they make rapid progress on neither.
@bradychapman5645 The bug players tend to be a bit more casual while the bot players are more sweaty. It makes sense that bug players don't really care about major orders. Besudes, there's so many people fighting bugs that it doesn’t matter if the do the major order or not. Meanwhile, bot players are stretched so thin that they wouldn't get anything done unless they coordinated. I plan to focus more on the illuminate when they arrive, but I do trade to focus on major orders when they pop up. I'm just not as worried about bugs because there's so many damn bug divers.
@@IronS1ghts_Gaming theyve been ready to release or at the very least just needing to be polished. The only thing stopping them rn is just the story. same thing with the BMP stratagem

The music is perfect, was this the ost for the Illuminates on the first Helldivers?
@kingconan4crom This is the leaked helldivers 2 Illuminate OST.
You'll be able to hear it in-game when fighting them. Sound awesome
Do you think the Illuminate will drop tommorow?
Hey, any speculation on release date? I’m hyped
@@Cyberstan_Broadcast_Center I wish, though it seems unlikely
...and people were wondering why we had Arc resistance armor 😂
Me and my bro were both agreeing this was definitely for the illuminate
i thought it was for friendly fire 😭

The illuminate look much more indepth and advanced compared to automatons or terminids, I'm interested to see how they will play out in game.
Yeah more in death advanced and also eldritch who knows how powerful they are in the battlefield
I agree. They are definitely the most advanced faction I've seen. I'm really looking forward to seeing them in-game.

Suddenly your controls are scrambled, and now the run button became the fire button

Some of the attacks being called void attacks brings up a lot of potential theories about the illuminate and what they've been doing
Must be one of the eldritch powers they have now
@@mjthom08from using advance tech to incorporating straight up magic
Awesome stuff! 👍
Looks like sushi is back on the menu boys !
FOR SUPER EARTH!!!
Good lad, nice to see you uploading videos, I am glad I managed to persuade you some how, normally my skills for that are low :D. Keep at it bro!
Thanks for the motivation bro!
I'll keep up the uploads as much as I can.
@@IronS1ghts_Gaming YOU GOT THIS MR IRON SIGHTSSSSSSSSSSS
I love the war of the world looking tripod they’d be so cool to see on a battlefield
Hmmm....lots of melee attacks. We need melee attacks too. Let go. !
We do!!
There are things like knives and bayonettes in the files, so hopefully we can get those soon.
Ive heard speculation it will be on liberty day
Yeah, that is the common theory right now.
Sadly we have too little info to know 100%

Oh boy horrors beyond my comprehension.
I assume the illuminate would be an “elite” faction, having few strong unit with plenty of ability.
@internetuser320 Yep!
In some voice lines, the units are actually referred to as "Elites".
Terrified yet excited at the same time
HOPE IS ON THE WAY
Some people might see this as spoilers.
I see it as a conspiracy theory! 🔎 👽
Dude they’re actually terrifying
So excited for this faction!

I guess we are gonna be fighting the fucking combine lmao
Still sad they decided to scale down the ghoul to light unit imagine a giant one chasing you down? That would've been nightmarish
I agree! It would've been cool as a larger unit

Helldivers 2 about to become Returnal
Illuminari brothers & sisters, our beloved Squ'ith cometh
*Door kicks in*
Freeze! Super Police! Hands up Xeno Cultist!
aint no way we getting eldar
This is no way Eldar. They are practically just protoss.
@@weaponizedlizardmen360 joke
Remember Helldivers these are nothing more than conspiracy theories. After all we did beat those squids long ago.
They gonna be some scary enemies thats for sure
Super Earth's laser tech is due to reverse engineering these bad bois. We're in for some hurt. I really can't wait. Their music also slaaaps
Please report these images to O.A.R. (Office of Alien Research)

Yeah, that is definitely what it seems like!
Seems Calamari is back in the menu boys
When they come, we’ll be ready…
Dashing, combat dodges, melee combos, shields, gun spears, teleportation, and force choke... what the hell did we get ourselves into?
Good stuff 👍

On the bug front though, I am a pyromaniac so I’m unfathomably appreciative of them fixing their fuck up with the flamethrower.

Scary
I can't believe I got blue screen on the 17th of September. THE DAY THE BIG PATCH HAPPENED
Wait did I read Melee COMBOS?!
Yep 0_0
We need melee weapons of our own.
Anything about them having shields or invisibility?
Is there anything yet on a possible release date?
Not just yet. If i'm being completely honest with you, they seem ready to release. Looks like they may just be settling some story stuff first.
It will probably begin the process of happening when the Gloom reaches the blackhole.
I heard it’ll be on or around liberty day, which is in mid october. Pretty soon
@@IronS1ghts_Gaming theyve been ready to release or at the very least just needing to be polished. The only thing stopping them rn is just the story. same thing with the BMP stratagem
@@DylanClipz bmp stratagem?
Wait there are other units then the ones we seen
And possibly more that I don't know about 👀
@@IronS1ghts_Gamingif any of them is scary then the ones we saw then I going to have nightmares of them when they arrived
The illuminate are just tau with tzeench powers lol
Will the Great Eyes be included as well?
It's too early to tell right now, but the Great Eye does not seem to be in the files.
wait, they have tripods?
Observer... adept.. sentry.. zealot... damn protoss wannabes
Guess it will be Their "Life for Aiur!"
Where’s the music from?
Leaked Illuminate combat OST from the game files themselves.
May Lady Liberty save us. The squids want their revenge.
@@robohobo8250 I was hoping it was this because this soundtrack is great!
Illuminate more like squid
Nah this is the covenant
