Helldivers 2 players once again on the trail of the Iluminists

Helldivers 2 players have discovered a tip in the game that they are convinced indicates that the Iluminists are close.

Since the launch of Helldivers 2, players have been speculating about the arrival of a third enemy faction. The Iluminist alien race has previously fueled the wildest theories within the community, with players already pulling out their tinfoil hats. However, this recent discovery makes these hypotheses particularly credible.

An advice from the Training Manual thus seems to be a fairly clear sign of the presence of the Iluminists in the galaxy. “Helldivers traveling the galaxy may stumble upon ancient ruins and other curiosities. Keep in mind: only a traitor shows curiosity about alien artifacts!» we read in the advice.

Reddit user u/The_Bored_Goat then brought this to the attention of the Helldivers 2 community. Those who have managed to temporarily detach themselves from their role as citizens of Super-Earth tend to believe that the arrival of the Iluminists is imminent.

I got this tip today… um what? byu/The_Bored_Goat inHelldivers

Some players think this advice implies something: “It must be about the Iluminists,” says one player.

“They will arrive soon,” replies another player. “There is no other explanation.” As of yet, no one has encountered actual alien ruins in the game, but who’s to say Arrowhead won’t suddenly introduce them without any notice? This wouldn’t be anything new, like with new Surprise Stratagems as well as strange flying enemies.

Naturally, any post regarding Helldivers 2 attracts a significant number of players who perpetuate the immersion through memes embodying their character. In doing so, they strictly adhere to the principles of the Federation, thereby demonstrating their strong dedication to Democracy.

“No grave robbing on missions,” a Helldiver ordered. Others detailed the report they would make to their local Democratic Officer for people discussing aliens.
