Leave it to the Helldivers 2 community to get creative when it comes to coming up with new factions. With the Automatons and Terminids dominating the game for the past five months, and rumors of a third enemy faction circulating for a while now, players are already looking ahead.
"I'll stop them" scene in Helldivers 2 🔥🤯💯
There have already been leaks and rumors that the mysterious Illuminate will be the third enemy faction of Helldivers 2, joining the Terminids and Automatons. The sudden appearance of a black hole (or is it a black hole?) a little under a month ago has done little to dispel these rumors, with some impatient players choosing to dive right in and see what’s on the other side.
But before a third enemy faction can even be confirmed, the highly active Helldivers 2 community has already begun speculating about a fourth faction – and how fighting human traitors might make it stand out. As for whether there could be a fourth faction at all, some users have pointed out that the game’s Galactic War map was split into four sections during the game’s beta.
A recent discussion on the r/Helldivers subreddit, started by OreganoCrackYT, really got the hype going about human traitors as a strong idea for a potential fourth faction. Fighting other humans instead of giant machines or terrifying insects would be fun for a change. And here’s a compelling thought: why not make the elite enemies of this traitorous faction Helldivers themselves? That would be a fun twist.
