Helldivers 2 has seen a recent threat from the previous game make a grand return. The Omens of Tyranny update has brought back the Illuminate, an enemy faction that uses advanced technology and numbers to take down anyone who stands in its way. Players who have tangled with the latest addition to the game will notice its units utilize force fields, allowing them to be as aggressive as they are. The added layer of protection that the Illuminate utilizes is why some fail to complete their missions, and why the faction should not be ignored.
