Helldivers, the Omens of Tyranny have arrived! The Illuminate are back, and with them, a new wave of terror threatens our democracy. After nearly a century of relative peace, these technologically advanced enemies have returned. The Illuminate are conducting mysterious invasions across the galaxy, seizing our colonies and converting our citizens. These staging attacks and Illuminate disappearances are too precise and elusive to suggest a full-scale planetary conquest, but their methods and intentions remain a dire enigma.

A new faction Missing for almost a century, the Illuminate will challenge our recruits more than the other factions they have faced. They are advanced, highly-intelligent beings wielding powerful technology that appears to average citizens like a kind of dark magic.

The Illuminate have seemingly emerged from the singularity created by the destruction of Meridia. Even though we don’t know the true origin of the invasion, we have no choice now but to suppress three factions in the Galactic War.

New colony missions Omens of Tyranny is bringing the fight into the streets, with new mission areas inside Super Earth’s many colonies.

But it won’t be easy. Gone are the wide open spaces that Helldivers are accustomed to fighting in. Cities mean closer quarters, dark alleys, and forked paths where one wrong turn means meeting a horde of Voteless to liberate.

New FRV vehicle With all these new developments, there won't be time to take driver's ed. courses, Helldiver. A Fast Recon Vehicle “FRV” will now appear in the colonies, ready to plow through the Illuminate at high speed.

Their freedom.

Double edit: The new zombie enemies are called the Voteless data-laughing

So what's the deal with these ones as far as the satire? The androids are trying to free their imprisoned people, the bugs harvested for fuel or something. What righteous cause do the illuminate have?

In Helldivers 1 Super Earth accused the Illuminates of possessing WMD’s as casus belli.

I don’t need to tell you the rest lol

Ahh that makes sense especially with the mind control theme. I never played the first one and suck too much at the 2nd to really get into it. Cool game though.

Yeah I don’t really have any time to play myself nowadays, most fun I had was to round up a posse of friends/coworkers but I appreciate that that can be difficult for people
