It’s been roughly two months since the addition of the Illuminate in Helldivers 2, so naturally, players were able to adapt and analyze this new faction’s hunting techniques. Many players have been complaining that the game has become less challenging, so this player suggested that Arrowhead Game Studios could add this one Illuminate unit to make the battlefield much more chaotic.
The Illuminate invasion was kicked off as part of the Omens of Tyranny update, but very soon it became clear that the entire faction was missing. The game’s director has confirmed that more units will soon join the faction and players are hoping that one of these units is Illuminate snipers.
Helldivers 2 players want Arrowhead Game Studios to add Illuminate snipers
A player on the r/Helldivers subreddit suggested that Arrowhead Game Studios should add snipers to the Illuminate faction. Apart from the Harvester, the existing Illuminate enemies primarily engage in close-medium ranged combat, so the community thinks that the faction deserves to have a sniper since Helldivers are slowly gaining an edge over the faction.
How cool and awful would it be to add Illimunate snipers

Fans of the franchise reminded players that one such Illuminate unit existed in the first Helldivers game. The Hunter in the first game used long-ranged high-powered electro-pulse gauntlets, which were capable of killing players in a single shot. Players should expect to see this unit joining the battlefield since many past Illuminate units are making a comeback.
As compared to the Automatons and Terminids, fighting the Illuminate has proved to be much more difficult for many players. However, judging by the posts on social media, the community wants more. Arrowhead has been working on giving fans some new units, which will be far more challenging to take down.
More Illuminate units will soon join Helldivers 2
Shortly after the release of the Omens of Tyranny update, game director Mikael Eriksson told IGN that the initial invasion involved the Illuminate Vanguard Fleet, so more is yet to come. He made it clear that this initial group of enemies would not capture planets as they were using guerrilla tactics. So, the worst is yet to come.
The full faction features some strong enemies like Illusionist, Council Member, Obelisk, Apprentice, and Strider. There is another unit called the Great Eye which is classified in the Master class, so everyone who is complaining about the game being too easy right now, must not underestimate this faction.
Currently, Arrowhead has put the spotlight on the Terminid faction, so there is still time until the studio decides to add these units to the game.
