In case you've committed undemocratic heresy and had your Super Earth broadcasts turned off, let me illuminate (heh) the situation for you—the Illuminate are here in Helldivers 2, and boy howdy are they pissed off. In a recent interview with us here at PC Gamer, Arrowhead Games' CCO Johan Pilestedt promised that the Illuminate would prove a challenge even for seasoned players.
I, like a fool, like an utter clown, brushed this off as mere braggadocio. It's like he says—developers often tend to underestimate players, right? There's absolutely no way the Illuminate can be as harrowing as he's implying, correct? Incorrect, as it turns out. The design of these buggers is utterly devilish. An unholy marriage between the Terminids and the Automatons, forged into something far scarier.
