What should the 3rd faction be like?

[Roy]

I've never liked the Illuminate from Helldivers 1, they weren't squishy to shoot and the playstyle they enforced wasn't great imo.

What should the 3rd faction in HD2 be like?
I'm thinking a guerilla style faction would be nice, using concealment and falling back with hit and run ambushes?

[Doomvora]

If illuminate aren't added I'd imagine it will be some sort of human dissident faction (but that's somewhat taken by automatons anyway)

I'd imagine it'll be something similar to the illuminate though.

Little green aliens that can telekinetically pimp slap you into a rag doll state and speak the treasonous words of how great communism is.

I bet theyre already in the game but will only appear when the game master triggers their invasion event

Very likely considering there are weapons "in game" that are not available yet.

This Prophets + Tau.

The star map is primed for a 3rd faction to appear in the lower area. What would be fun is seeing overlap between the factions and those planets the enemy factions are fighting each other while you do missions against them as well. THAT would be spiffy to see the NPCs duking it out.

Dont do that, don't give me hope.

the game has suggestions that there's already more primary and sidearm weapons in the game but what is currently available doesn't add up to the "total" the game says are there.

so likely they'll be officially added with future warbonds

If you look at the armory the game says you have 3/9 secondaries and it has something similar for primaries and grenades, implying the weapons are already made and implemented but are just waiting to be unlocked (in the case of the weapons it's just waiting for the warbonds) which means that the 3rd faction may actually already be set up, they're just waiting for something specific to happen before introducing them.

I think thats just a misprint since the strategems also had an extra one there but was later removed in patch

Should be a group of renegade humans

[Somberyeti]

Judging by the fact that Super earth is a place on the map
It would be cool to fight the dissidents on super earth in an urban city map

The whole idea of super earth is that humanity is united in war against all aliens
