The Illuminate is a faction well known to Helldivers 1 players, but it has yet to appear in Helldivers 2. The developer team has been heavily teasing their arrival and there have been previous leaks, but how do they look in the game?
An established leader in the community IronS1ghts revealed some new information. So, let’s take a closer look at The Illuminate.
Helldivers 2 Illuminate Observer
The Observer is a simple enemy type. It actively searches for players, and once a player is found, it sounds an alarm, alerting The Illuminate to the player’s location. They can also fire lightning and dodge attacks.
With all this in mind, the Observer seems to be a very annoying enemy in Helldivers 2.
Helldivers 2 Illuminate “Guy”
Named by the Helldivers 2 community as “Guy” due to the lack of a name in the files, this enemy appears to be the infantry of The Illuminate. The enemy can use Lightspear, Axe, or a weapon leaker called “Squid Gun.” This is most likely a typo, and the gun is called the “Squ’ith Gun.” Squ’ith is the self-name of The Illuminate so it makes more sense to be called that way.
The enemy is also capable of dodging and has combos for melee weapons.
Helldivers 2 Illuminate Dark Fluid Harvester
It seems that The Illuminate is interested in Dark Fluid, so they will use Harvesters to collect it. The Dark Fluid Harvester in Helldivers 2 will represent a mission objective. Most likely the players will have to destroy it.
In its active state, the Dark Fluid Harvester shoots into the ground to harvest the Dark Fluid. The leaker claims that in its active state, the Dark Fluid Harvester will have a different model.

Helldivers 2 Illuminate release date
In the comments, the leaker was asked about the readiness of The Illuminate content and a potential release date. The leaker, however, could only speculate, saying that The Illuminate is almost ready for release, but Arrowhead has a lot of content to release before that.
This means the Helldivers 2 Illuminate update is not coming any time soon. However, there’s always a possibility that plans could change.
Anyway, these new leaks show that The Illuminate is being worked on, and we can expect more leaks about them in the future.
