Get out your guns, Helldivers 2 launches its new enemy faction! The game's new expansion featuring these new antagonists, entitled "Omens of Tyranny", has been available since December 13, 2024. Developed by Arrowhead, this update introduces the Illuminists, an enemy alien faction invading colonies on Super-Earth. This expansion was announced at the Game Awards 2024, held on the night of December 12-13, 2024.
This expansion focuses on the Illuminists, an advanced civilization that disappeared almost a century ago. These fearsome enemies use guerrilla tactics and employ weapons and technologies perceived as "black magic" by the citizens of Super-Earth. " This first invasion concerns the Illuminists' vanguard fleet," explained game director Mikael Eriksson, as reported byIGN. Among the new challenges, players will have to face giant tripods called Reapers and free mentally controlled civilians nicknamed the Voiceless.
To face these threats, the Helldivers have a new vehicle, the Fast Recon Vehicle (FRV), capable of transporting a complete squad. This vehicle will be accessible after completing a new Major Order. At the same time, new weapons and stratagems, such as theAnti-Tank Emplacement, will help players overcome enemy shields and assaults. Get ready for close combat in urban environments and repel this alien invasion!
