Helldivers 2 is probably one of the most popular titles in the world right now. Released in 2024, this game has made a special place in every player’s heart. There are some major reasons for this huge success as well: stunning visuals, captivating co-op gameplay, and exciting Major Orders from Super Earth.
Despite this initial brilliance, the game has stumbled hard due to some major issues regarding bugs and glitches and also because of the PSN account linking controversy. However, Arrowhead Game Studios is not missing any opportunity to bring back the game’s past glory. Still, there is a mistake committed by the developers which have confused the community.
A dedicated Helldivers 2 fan has recently shared a screenshot on Reddit, which has clearly shocked the fans. This screenshot is of a random kill counter, which shows “11,913 Illuminates Killed.” So, what is it? Basically, Illuminates are considered to be the eventual third faction, which will be potentially added in the updates. This faction was present in the predecessor of the game, and there were certain rumors that this aspect would be added in the successor as well.
Illuminates are technologically advanced aliens with psychic powers and a focus on defensive barriers. This faction can become a different kind of threat to either the bugs or the bots. Now, these are just all rumors and stuff, as there was no hint of introducing this faction in the game by Arrowhead; forget an official confirmation.
Now, this live kill counter might be a solid indicator that those rumors might become true in the near future. Actually, Illuminates might have already been introduced in the game, but only on the test servers. And the developers might have connected this kill counter to the live servers, which appear in front of the players. However, as a testing phase content, this kill counter is inaccessible and just soaring up day by day because of the ongoing testing phase.
There is a bug in Helldivers 2, which is restricting players from joining a lobby. People are waiting for a match to join, but even after that, they can’t join it because it states that the lobby is private. It will show on the map to be available to join the mission but will utter the same statement on and on.
This bug is so weird that even players who have their friends waiting in a lobby of 3/4, despite getting invites to join. All they do is get stuck standing in the ship with the freedom flag in their hands. After the recent backlashes, Arrowhead has become pretty swift in fixing such issues. But it’s surprising that this private lobby bug has been in the game for a while, and the developers are yet to fix it, as it’s creating serious trouble.
