New Faction

[FrodoScrotom]

Hi everyone,
I recall watching an interview about the devs before launch where they talk about 3 enemy factions.
Do we know anything about that or am I making stuff up?

aren't we the 3rd faction? There's the bugs, the machines, and the Super Citizens.

Look up the factions in Hell Divers 1

3rd one is some weird blue aliens

I think it's nice to have terminators, I wouldnt mind a third ennemy faction somewhere down the road in the intergalactir war but so far for launch 2 ennemy factions is pretty solid.

Helldivers 1 had two races that 2 doesn't have: The Illuminate and The Cyborgs.
They might add those two later, who knows.

The illuminates, i believe the lore of HellDivers 2 say that they were annihilated and that why Super-Earth got they're hands on shield technology and new faster than light travels, so we probably ain't seeing them ever again. Could be wrong tho.

Cyborgs = Automatons

We're missing the alien elfes, I also hope we get them down the line. Or rebel humans.

There was a third faction in the first game. They were basically psionic eldar-type blue aliens + white robots.

They were mostly focused on stealth and shield gameplay. I quite remember the beams and precision guns being good against them.

Either way, they most likely will just take more work to translate into this type of game.

I would like to see a 4th faction too, down the track maybe.

That was always the lore in hell divers 1 when you beat the campaign
They were annhilated every time

Bugs used for Oil production
Cyborgs are just a human rebel faction that came back

That's not true. The developers have explicitly stated that the automatons are NOT the cyborgs

"Helldivers 2 will get free 'enemies, objectives, biomes,' and more as free post-launch DLC." Nah

[Shimond95]

Yea there's a cyborg faction we haven't seen yet, that's (somehow) different from the Automatons. Maybe Super Earth traitors that have Automaton tech?

[All Thriller No Philler]

In the first game, we crushed all of the enemies. This is 100 years (or so) later, with new enemies. I mean bugs are bugs but y'know.

If they do the same as the first one (i think they already said that) the contentent expansión is going to be free. The are going to make money with the Skins/weapon DLC so... New contet IS goint to be free and cosmetic vía paid DLC

Yeah this is how most developers for multiplayer games come out with their new content now. Because making it paid would split their player base and cause the game to fizzle out quicker. This LordDuke guys has no clue
