Helldivers 2 Devoid of Liberty Update Brings New Illuminate Horrors

The continuous fight for democracy just got a lot more horrifying. Helldivers 2 is back with a major update alongside the Warhammer 40K Warbond. Now the servants of democracy are under Illuuminate threat once again as new monsters emerge from the Void.

Journey to the Void

This major update sees the focus of Super Earth shift to the reemerging threat of the Illuuminates. Every Helldiver will receive new missions and objectives to conquer–destroy Illuminate spires and gateways, complete data reconnaissance, and infiltrate Illuminate structures with your team.

But new threats lurk in the shadows, freshly emerging from the void. The quick and agile Wretch, who can quickly ambush and overwhelm defenders. Aim for the limbs. On the opposite side, we have the Crusher, a slow, tanky, unstoppable force, which will regenerate if not constantly taking damage. Bring fire, and lots of it.

Backup Has Arrived

That’s not all; the Seaf are being deployed along with the Helldivers. Now amped up and better than ever, squads of Seaf soldiers now deploy with a variety of different units. Some include a squad leader, rifleman, support, and a medic. These backup forces will follow into primary objectives and help clear obstacles in their path.

But they aren’t Helldivers, and if enemy forces become too numerous, they will quickly be overwhelmed. So watch out for your fellow human!
