"Cyborgs were one of the main enemy factions in the first 2015 game. Originating from a group of human dissidents, they became the progenitors of the Automaton mech race players have been fighting in Helldivers 2 for years now. Fans will be tasked with trying to liberate their home planet of Cyberstan from the new threat once and for all."
"A returning enemy faction from the first Helldivers, Cyborgs arrive in the extraction shooter's big February 10 update to open up a new front in a multi-year galactic war full of new terrors for players to navigate. First, there are the Agitators, Automaton field commanders who will order nearby enemies to swarm you. Then there are the Radicals, Cybernetically enhanced humans who can tear you apart with techno-martial arts. Finally, there's the Vox Engine, a dual-heavy-laser-wielding mobile tank with rockets and Gatling guns."
Helldivers 2 adds the Cyborgs as a returning enemy faction in a major February 10 update. Three new Cyborg types appear: Agitators that command swarms, Radicals with cybernetic combat abilities, and the heavily armed Vox Engine tank. The Cyborgs trace back to human dissidents and became the origin of the Automaton mech race currently fought across the game. Players will work to liberate the Cyborg home planet, Cyberstan. An in-game statement labels the Cyborgs as "fueled by nothing but rage and socialism." The framing connects to real-world generational political shifts linked to wars, bailouts, and economic strain.
