Mysterious Blue Beams in Helldivers 2 Spark Debate Over Return of Infamous Illuminate Faction
-
Helldivers 2 players have shared footage of a mysterious new faction attacking with blue beams, thought to be the returning Illuminate faction.
-
The game director and "Ministry of Truth's propaganda machine" claim the footage is forged and the Illuminate are not actually back.
-
The Illuminate were a major psychic alien enemy in the first game, known for beams, teleportation, and religious zealotry.
-
Arrowhead's CEO reviewed the footage himself, stating "Blue beams aren’t real, it can’t hurt you," but sightings continue.
-
The community expects a new threat is likely coming soon, with the game being in a "masterclass on how to make a fun live service game."
