So you knew this was coming because I am your resident Helldivers correspondent, your war correspondent, and the Illuminate have been off the map for a while. Yes. And the messaging from Super Earth has been, well, that about wraps up for the Illuminate. Don't have to worry about them anymore.

I know what I'm doing for the rest of the day. I'm firing that puppy up. So, a couple of things. Let's talk about it, Gary. This is, I mean, we'll wait and see how they've implemented it, but on its face, this is what the game has needed for a while. It needed a big shot in the arm. Because the game's great.

But the Illuminate, even though when they brought them in with Omens of Tyranny, it was very nice to have a third faction. Generally, when I play, unless there's a major order that you have to deal with them, I don't bother with the Illuminate. Because to me, they're the least fun faction to play.
