In contrast to its predecessor, Helldivers 2 doesn’t have three entire races of villainous, anti-democratic enemies to contend in opposition to. Notably, the primary sport’s Illuminate aliens have been suspiciously absent from the galactic playground thus far, although some gamers declare there’s one thing amiss in that regard.

Extra particularly, Helldivers 2‘s Tremendous Earth has been doing fairly effectively for itself as of late, with an all-new batch of killing implements having lately come out, and the continued efforts to disperse huge quantities of Termicide in choose areas of the galaxy. Amidst these successes, some gamers have been getting killed in extraordinarily suspicious methods, to the purpose that many now imagine the Illuminate faction are behind these assaults.

These alleged assassinations have been the speak of the proverbial city for the previous couple of days, with little greater than unsubstantiated claims and low-quality screenshots to supply veracity for them. That’s all modified as of late, although, with Helldivers indervyne and Proximis posting movies of their fellow gamers getting splashed throughout the battlefield by unusual blue vitality projectiles.

Are Helldivers 2 gamers being killed by Illuminate snipers?

Sightings of surprisingly exact blue projectiles taking down Helldivers from actually far-off are getting increasingly more frequent as of late, and although we don’t have onerous knowledge to go on, it’s not onerous to see why it’d be simple accountable the Illuminate for these killings. The Illuminate had been an especially high-tech Helldivers faction of aliens that relied primarily on stealth, teleportation, and blue laser-based weaponry to dish out punishment. The parallels with the current wave of assassinations are onerous to argue. Then again, some do suppose that is simply swamp gasoline, because it had been.

“That is clearly simply an atmospheric discharge,” says Helldiver Jupiter67. “Draupnir is thought for its inclement climate and lightning-baked surfaces. There are even clear voltfish that resonate with electromagnetism as they drift via the air. Nothing to see right here. Swamp gasoline, certainly. Swamp gasoline.”

A few of the commonest theories as to what on Tremendous Earth is happening embody ricochet takedowns from Autocannon and Anti-Materiel Rifle assist weapons, environmental injury from the assorted elemental flowers and thingamabobs strewn throughout some ranges, and swamp gasoline. Undoubtedly not the gradual encroachment from one among Tremendous Earth’s most potent enemies.

On the same notice, the current onset of planetary tremors is undoubtedly not an indication that developed Hive Lord Terminids are about to floor. Additional, Helldivers have most assuredly not come throughout flying Terminid infesting sure settled methods.

On the off likelihood that issues are, the truth is, ramping up for Tremendous Earth, and that Illuminate assassins are popping as much as disperse Helldiver forces from the shadows, at we now have mechs to defend ourselves with. Chunky, defensive, highly effective mechs.
