As a cooperative third-person shooter game that has been popular in the past year, Helldivers 2 has attracted attention mainly for its unique future interstellar theme. There is no doubt that shooting games usually make you, as a player, call yourself the “righteous side”, and there will be enemy factions in the corresponding games.
At present, there are three main villain factions in Helldivers 2, namely Illuminate, Terminids and Automatons, of which Illuminate was not even added to the game until December 2024. Different enemy factions require you to come up with different solutions to deal with them, which means that if new factions can join the game, you can experience more combat possibilities.
Since the launch of Illuminate, Helldivers 2 players have been actively calling for the addition of new enemy factions as soon as possible, or the addition of multiple factions in a single-line mission, instead of only being able to experience one gameplay at a time as in the past. Based on this, we will analyze for you which update plan Helldivers 2 may adopt.
Directly Launch The Fourth Faction
Although various information currently available speculates on what new faction Helldivers 2 will launch, it is difficult to say when the fourth faction will be launched because the game has not released an official roadmap and the launch interval between the three existing factions is not very reliable.
Merge The Existing Enemy Factions
Considering that it is imperative to update the enemy faction mechanism, allowing multiple enemy factions to appear on the same mission at the same time may be a better update option in the short term. In fact, according to various signs, Helldivers 2 development team seems to have made similar attempts in the past, but ultimately failed, but now the players’ call may be worth the development team trying again.
From the player’s perspective, if this update plan comes true, you will need to face more difficult challenges in the subsequent Helldivers 2 missions, because the increase in enemy types also means that the battle will be more complicated, and you must adopt a more meticulous strategy.
In addition, the combination of existing enemies may also inspire Helldivers 2 to develop a fourth enemy faction. The three existing enemy factions have huge potential in themselves. If combined with the power and technology of other factions, it can bring unlimited possibilities for the development of new enemies.
In short, Helldivers 2 will definitely take action on the development of new enemies in the near future as a natural process of game updates, and it can provide you with freshness while expanding the influence of the game.
