Next Update Should Give the Illuminate Orbital Lasers, and Super Earth Magnetic Accelerator Cannon Side Missions

The Illuminate have fully returned in Helldivers 2 and launched a full-scale invasion of Super Earth. We’re seeing new enemy types on the battlefield, like Stingrays and the grotesque Fleshmob terrorizing our forces. According to fan assumptions, we might see the Illuminate forces get an orbital cannon next.

The conflict also seems like it could take a turn, strangely reminiscent of Halo. And if we’re thinking of Halo, what if we had some missions to secure a new type of weaponry inspired by it? What if we had our own Magnetic Accelerator Cannon (MAC) as a new mission? We could consolidate our defenses even further with it.

The battle against the Illuminate is coming to Super Earth

Arrowhead’s recent May 13 update confirmed what a lot of us feared. The Illuminate isn’t done with its business with Super Earth. The Illuminate has launched a full-scale invasion of Super Earth, and Arrowhead Game Studios has dropped major changes into Helldivers 2 to keep pace with the rising galactic stakes.

The Illuminate has brought its full force with new enemies like the terrifying Stingray air units. These are jet fighters capable of strafing entire squads from above. Then we see the new Crescent Overseer, which bombards where Helldivers take cover to force us into the open. There’s also the grotesque Fleshmob, a massive biomechanical monstrosity made of stitched-together Voteless parts.

is ablaze with speculation that the next update will change that. Some players have jokingly (and seriously) proposed that the Illuminate will have its own counterpart to the orbital laser that we currently use. The concept is more than scary because our own laser destroys most enemies in a matter of seconds.

Attention, Helldivers: This is a Galactic Emergency.

The true Illuminate invasion has begun. In a sudden and completely unprovoked offensive manoeuvre, the full Illuminate fleet is emerging from the Meridia Singularity. Nothing is safe – not even the Heart of Democracy itself.

If the Illuminate were to have that kind of firepower against us, we would be quite screwed. But it’d make for some awesome gameplay. Imagine you’re in the middle of a mission and suddenly hear a warning from command that the enemy has launched an orbital cannon, and you have seconds to run away from the impact zone or get obliterated completely.

Helldivers 2 is going through some big changes

Things could also take a turn to some Halo-style changes. What if we also got some side missions for a Magnetic Accelerator Cannon, like what we saw in Halo? The MAC is a weapon that Halo fans will recognize as a planet-shaking space artillery platform. Imagine if this kind of weaponry were available to Helldivers or the Illuminate. The battle would get so much more intense.

As this galactic war heats up, Helldivers 2 also gives players better tools to survive. The latest update introduced an extensive weapon customization system. Helldivers can now level up primary weapons through missions, unlocking scopes, barrels, under-barrel attachments, and cosmetic patterns from old Warbonds.

We will need these upgrades to battle the full force of the Illuminate. Helldivers 2 may have started as a satirical, over-the-top co-op shooter, but we are now part of a true interstellar war. So get up, put on that armor, and set out to defend Super Earth and fight for Democracy!
