The Week In Games: Co-Op Bug Blasting And More New Releases<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A little background: In the original top-down Helldivers <\/em>game, there were three factions<\/a><\/span>. Two of those are in Helldivers 2<\/em>, the bugs and the bots. However, the third faction, the mysterious alien race known as The Illuminate<\/a><\/span>, is seemingly not around. But that might be changing soon. This once-aquatic race of super-advanced aliens\u2014known for using shields, robots, AI, and blue-energy weapons\u2014might be arriving in Helldivers 2<\/em><\/a><\/span> based on the video clips and posts from players who have encountered those odd blue lasers during missions.<\/p>\n

One of the first mentions of blue beams in Helldivers 2<\/em> came not from fans or Reddit, but from a tweet posted on March 15 by Johan Pilestedt<\/a><\/span>, the CEO of the Arrowhead Studios, the team behind the popular shooter: \u201cBlue beams aren\u2019t real, it can\u2019t hurt you.\u201d Considering he also playfully \u201cdenied\u201d the reports of flying bug enemies in Helldivers 2<\/em><\/a><\/span>, I took this tweet as a sign that something was definitely up in the game.<\/p>\n

If you look around Reddit <\/a><\/span>and YouTube<\/a><\/span>, you can easily find video clips<\/a><\/span> showcasing<\/a><\/span> these supposedly harmless and not real \u201cblue beams.\u201d<\/p>\n
