In Helldivers 2, the new alien faction, the Illuminate, has been struggling to capture player interest despite its recent introduction in late 2024. Although they present a fresh aesthetic and are a threat to Super Earth, their gameplay experience is hindered by a limited roster and less engaging mechanics compared to the other factions, the Terminids and Automatons. The Illuminate's defense missions and lack of territory further contribute to player frustration, resulting in a perception of repetitive combat and diminished excitement over time.
The Illuminate is half a faction with limited roster and engagement opportunities, leading to repetitive gameplay compared to the more robust Terminids and Automatons.
While they provide a unique invasion aesthetic, the Illuminate's less challenging and varied gameplay has caused player interest to wane.
