The time has come, Helldivers. The War has changed.These are dark times for freedom loving citizens everywhere. Our galaxy grows cold from the embrace of old enemies returning and darkens with the threat of new horrors emerging.We must now stand together in Super Earths light and oppose these sinister tidings. These Omens of Tyranny.Play VideoThe Illuminate returnMissing for almost a century, the Illuminate will challenge our recruits more than the other factions they have faced. They are advanced, highly-intelligent beings wielding powerful technology that appears to average citizens like a kind of dark magic.View and download imageDownload the imagecloseCloseDownload this imageAt the end of the First Galactic War, the Helldivers worked together to eradicate the Illuminate. We believed we were successful, and for nearly 100 years, we have lived in relative peace, holding the Terminid and Automaton threats at bay. Thanks to our continued recruitment and training of new Helldivers, we have held these two fronts with complete, unmitigated success.But now the Illuminate have emerged seemingly out of nowhere. Even though we dont know the true origin of the invasion, we have no choice now but to suppress three factions in the Galactic War.The Illuminate are spreading through mind control, abducting citizens of weaker dedication to democratic ideals and brainwashing them for a dark purpose which is still yet unknown to us. These mind-controlled citizens have been twisted and corrupted into a menace we call The VotelessSuper Earths own people turned against the principles of Democracy and fair elections, losing their ability to vote entirely.View and download imageDownload the imagecloseCloseDownload this imageThe intentions behind the Illuminate invasion are still unclear. Right now, they remain as smaller bands of insurgents, staging attacks, building mysterious structures, and abducting citizens before disappearing again.Its up to us to stop them from getting their totalitarian tentacles any deeper into Super Earths domain.View and download imageDownload the imagecloseCloseDownload this imageThe fight at our doorstepOmens of Tyranny is bringing the fight into the streets, with new mission areas inside Super Earths many colonies.View and download imageDownload the imagecloseCloseDownload this imageOur colonies are being ravaged by these invaders, turning our once bright and sunny streets filled with smiling citizens into dark ruins, overrun by Voteless and Illuminate. Arm yourselves with your trusted tools of destruction and rid our colonies of this scum.But it wont be easy. Gone are the wide-open spaces that Helldivers are accustomed to fighting in. Cities mean closer quarters, dark alleys, and forked paths where one wrong turn means meeting a horde of Voteless to liberate. Youll need your best and brightest squad to navigate them carefully.Go easy on the gun, ChiefWith all these new developments, there wont be time to take drivers ed. courses, Helldiver. A Fast Recon Vehicle FRV will now appear in the colonies, ready to plow through the Illuminate at high speed.View and download imageDownload the imagecloseCloseDownload this imageKeep following the Major Orders issued by Super Earth High Command and you will get the keys to your very own FRVa brand new, top-of-the-line manual transmission reconnaissance and combat vehicle.
