What do you want for our third race?

[Fraktal]

So I guess the rumors are some hi tech aliens? Maybe sentient?

For faction diversity perhaps their strength is not with raw numbers?

I’d like to see their elites be similar to us. Alien commandos. With their own weapons and the ability to call down their own version of stratagems.

Thoughts?

I wouldn't really call it a rumor considering there's a 3rd race in Helldivers 1.
The illuminate being an enemy again is a given, what worries me is that there's a 4th part of the map that would be still empty even if we had the illuminate.

clearly you ain't a dev "neither em i btw", otherwise you would not suggest this.

aliens on par to us at this time would totally kill the game for like half the playerbase if not more. they better add more different bugs and bots, game does not need a third race for now.

things the game needs could be...

- mechs
- other diff strategems
- other types of weapons
- better ai turrets and guard dogs (could be an upgrade)
- other planets (bioms)
- new types of missions

Oh I’ll have to read up on them.

The 4th quadrant is a question, but the Illuminate ARE likely coming back.

And when they do? THE ANGST WILL FLOW!!

Look at the galaxy map. Automatons on the 10oclock. Terminids on the 2oclock.

That leaves the 6oclock.

not saying never, but the base game now needs more fixing before they add more that potentially scews more now.

I'm thinking of something high tech advance race like protoss or predator.
If Arrow head want to horror race then it would something from H.R. Giger.

So we got:

The Automatons: Chaos Necrons / Geth/Borg...
The Terminids: Bugs / Tyranids / Zerg
Illuminate: Eldar / Asari / Protoss

What archetype are we missing?.. A brutes race? Big clonky fellas made of... I dunno... Stone? That swing around massive maces and crap? Maybe in the form of Orcs and/or Reptillians? With a strong conquest aspect to them?

Those are the illuminate, aquatic people from whom we stole the technology in the first game, that's why we have those cool stratagems.

I have no idea what I'd put as a 4th race, but definitely something that poses an actual challenge to super earth. Considering the bugs are no menace and the bots are nothing but a pest.

how about a human faction, terrorists if you may. that keep spouting nonsense such as "freedom from the opressors" "we fight for human rights" "super earth is [REDACED]" all while claiming to be "freedom fighters"... i mean isnt that what we already doing?

[Noxsa]

Why not humans, you know a rebel faction with crapy and out dated weapons?

Not a bad idea as long as they can also use strats. If they add a human revolutionary race and that's it, cannon fodder heldivers would take care of them in a day with just a few strats.
If a 4th race is added, it needs to be something that actually ♥♥♥♥♥ us up

That’s fair I agree

You do hear something about dissenters while on the ship. So an enemy human faction sounds possible. Maybe even Helldiver defectors.
