Helldivers 2 has gained immense popularity since its release, with players eagerly awaiting new content and updates. Now, a fresh rumor has surfaced, shedding light on what could be in store for Helldivers 2’s future content. It seems the game is gearing up to introduce new Stratagems and possibly bring back the Illuminate faction from the original game. Additionally, teases from Johan Pilestedt, Helldivers 2’s Game Director, hint at potential additions like extra customization options and stealth mechanics.
We’ll discuss the most recent leaks on Helldivers 2 future content here, including information on the Illuminate faction and new stratagems.
New Stratagems in Helldivers 2
Stodal, a Reddit user, is the source of fresh Helldivers 2 this leak. They said in a Reddit post that they had searched through the Helldivers 2 files, notably the dl_library.dll file, and discovered what looks to be a list of inactive Stratagems in addition to a few more bits of information.
Among the leaked Stratagems, the first one hints at the introduction of mechs, a feature the developers have already confirmed. This Stratagem, labeled “DropoffCombatWalker,” suggests the arrival of mechs in the game. For the Walker, there’s another listing with an extra “PresidentReward” tag. However, we’ll have to wait for the devs to clarify as many believe this to be the mech’s premium edition.
Several intriguing strings found in the files include “JammedPinata” and “Nuke,” which promise exciting and explosive gameplay experiences, although the specifics remain unknown until Arrowhead makes an official announcement.
Return of Illuminate Faction Helldivers 2
The Illuminate, an enemy group from the first Helldivers, was also mentioned numerous times in the datamine. Although there have been long-standing rumors that they would appear in the sequel, this datamine provides the first concrete proof of the faction’s reappearance.
The datamined enemy types for the Illuminate include Adept, Ghoul, Illusionist, Obelisk Fire, Outcast, Pathfinder, and Summoner. This suggests that Arrowhead is considering introducing additional enemy types to keep the gameplay fresh and engaging, reminiscent of the post-launch updates for the original Helldivers.
Well, it appears that there will be significant content releases soon given the references to mechs and the Illuminate. The medic bag in particular has the potential to significantly impact the survival-focused co-op experience, according to player theories about how the new stratagems may change up gameplay.
Players are happy about the possibilities that this leak hinted at, sparking discussions and anticipation for official details from Arrowhead regarding future updates. While there is no indication that any of the aforementioned elements, aside from the mechs and possible Illuminate addition, will be included in Helldivers 2, still players are enthusiastic about the potential possibilities.
