In Helldivers 2, players are usually highly motivated to face the enemies of the Over-Earth, but one faction is currently causing increasing discontent.
Which faction is it? A meme is currently generating a lot of discussion in the Reddit forum of Helldivers 2. User Bobsleigh_Dracula expresses with the image that he no longer wants to fight against the latest faction in Helldivers 2. The Illuminated came into the game a few months ago as a major expansion and were also the faction that managed to attack Over-Earth itself.
With the image, he has sparked a big discussion that the Helldivers have probably been feeling for a long time.
Here you can see the trailer that introduced the faction:
Many Reasons Against the Illuminated
What speaks against the Illuminated? The latest faction of Helldivers 2 is unpopular among players. Under the meme of the user, many players gather who no longer want to continue fighting against the faction.
The reasons for this are manifold. Some explain that it is simply boring to fight against the faction and the missions are always the same. According to them, there is little variety in missions on their planet.
The unit Fleshmob is also problematic, as it seems to walk through walls, buildings, or teleport around, and it is said to withstand a lot. In general, many players find it boring to shoot at the bullet sponges that can take a lot.
So explain some players on Reddit:
- Mental_Dwarf: “In the first game, we didn’t like the Illuminated because they were so hard to fight. Now they have become a boring and uninspired faction that mainly generates annoying missions.”
- Shoresy6: “Fleshmob phasing through a wall or teleporting to elevated positions is still annoying.”
- MozzStix_Of_Catarina: “That Fleshmob can also take 120 shots of medium-pen ammo, an ultimatum, and a 500 kg bomb is also annoying.”
- E17Omm: “There is no variety in missions or side objectives at all.”
- Pixeldensity: “Shooting at bullet sponges is boring.”
Since their release, the developers have already modified the faction. For example, the developers adjusted the Leviathan ships that shoot at the Helldiver from the air.
