Upcoming Factions and New Enemies

Illuminate Faction Unconfirmed

The Illuminate is the third enemy factions in Helldivers 1. The enemies in this faction are squid-like creatures. Helldivers 2 developers have yet to confirm if the Illuminate faction will be added to the game.

Will There Be a Third Faction?

Flying Bugs Were Added to the Game

After the 1.000.102 patch update, players were able to encounter flying Terminids during their missions. According to the players who have encountered this new enemy type, you have to destroy their nests to stop them from spawning.

But, the CEO of Helldivers 2 denied the existence of the flying Terminids!

Know Enemy Weak Points

Most enemies in Helldivers 2 are hard to kill if you do not know their weak points. Mindlessly shooting down enemies will only lead to your death especially if your bullets are just bouncing off their armor.

For Automatons, whichever part glows red is a weak point. For some, the orange vents at their back are also weak points.

For Terminids, shooting their heads and legs can weaken or even kill them. Sometimes, a Terminid will have a glowing green sac which is also weak a point!

Destroy Outposts and Bug Holes

Destroying Automaton Fabricators and Bug Holes in a planet will give you some additional XP since they count as side objectives. For enemies like the Stalker, destroying their lairs will stop them from spawning!

Different Enemies For Each Faction

Each faction has different types of enemies. The Terminid is a faction that consists of bugs while the Automatons are robots.

Enemies you encounter in missions will depend on the faction occupying a certain sector. A faction will only leave a planet once it has been liberated!

Encounter Specific Enemies in Eliminate Missions

Regardless of the difficulty you choose, you are guaranteed to encounter certain enemies when doing their Eliminate missions!
