Helldivers 2 gamers are imagined to be specializing in wiping out the Jet Brigade proper now, nevertheless it appears like some fairly ominous Illuminatey goings on have been a reasonably large distraction from the bots during the last 12 hours or so.
Because the order was given by Arrowhead to go combat the Automatons, Helldivers gamers have noticed numerous bizarre goings-on that they reckon might be the prelude to one thing massive happenining with the Illuminate, the sport’s latest faction which has been fairly quiet because it took a licking just a few MOs in the past. That defeat dropped at an finish the preliminary Illuminate battle after the squids made their debut final final 12 months, nevertheless it appears like half two might be coming quickly.
So, what’s been happening? Effectively, initially, the warp hyperlinks to Estanu and Crimsica from Meridia – you already know, the planet that was become a giant purple again gap final 12 months, and was lengthy believed by gamers to be the purpose the Illuminate would make their grand Galactic Struggle entrance – has been reduce off.
Cool, cool. I am positive that is not probably an indication of something unhealthy, and er, oh. The Illuminate additionally apparently fully disappeared from the in-game map for a bit bit.
Across the similar time that occurred, gamers are reporting that the rumblings proven by a “spacetime fluctuation indicator” that at present pops up over the map on occasion are seeming stronger than they beforehand have been. That indicator’s purple by the way in which, the identical color because the Meridia black gap and the Illuminate sections of the map.
The excellent news is that the Illuminate are actually displaying up on the map once more in regular trend, however gamers are understandably sppoked and satisfied that one thing like one other massive Illuminate invasion might be coming over the weekend or subsequent week.
We’ll should see, however for now, it is definitely stopped everybody from asking about Arrowhead’s long-term plans for the sport now Johan Pilestedt’s on sabbatical.
