Helldivers 2 might be getting a new enemy faction, and it’s a sniper blast from the past

A Helldivers 2 player claims to have been hit by an Illuminate Sniper during a mission and suggests that a new enemy faction might be coming to the game.

Reddit user Dye335 posted in the Helldivers subreddit explaining why they think an Illuminate Sniper hit them. According to the post, they were just minding their own business when suddenly they were hit by a vibrant blue laser shot. Dye335 claims no enemies were in the vicinity and that none of his teammates had weapons that produced the same blue shot. Most importantly, the blue shot that hit the player is very similar to laser fire by Illuminate Snipers, a highly sophisticated enemy faction from the original Helldivers game.
