A fan presents an enemy they have designed on Reddit, sparking both enthusiasm in the community and horror in the Helldivers.

The Helldivers fan and Reddit user Master-Gig666 has created his own enemy type It belongs to the Illuminate and makes your worst nightmares come true – so it’s perfect for Helldivers 2 ! On Reddit, the community is enthusiastic and even wants the opponent for the real game.

Democracy is a lie!

The created enemy type is called Fallen Helldiver, belongs to the Illuminate and answers the question of what happens when your allies involuntarily defect to the enemy. The Fallen Helldivers met a terrible fate, worse than death, and turned their backs on democracy.

New Illuminate Unit Idea: Fallen Helldiver [OC]

For many players, it might be a nightmare come true to see former team members on the opposing side – and then as deadly as ever.

The new enemy type is mainly based on the Voteless. These are former inhabitants of the Super Earth who were transformed by the Illuminate into mindless soldiers through mind control. The Fallen Helldivers probably suffered a similar fate.

Master-Gig666 designed the enemy as a mutant elite unit with light armor, heavy support fire, homing laser, and additional weapons depending on the difficulty. Another of the Fallen Helldiver’s most perfidious abilities is the manipulative radio messages that seek to demoralize loyal Helldivers and turn them against democracy: “Join us! Democracy is a lie!”

The community loves it

The Helldivers community on Reddit is thrilled. The user Sinnermaximus

Wow, the idea is soo goooood!

Many users would like to see this type of opponent in the game.ManiGoodGirlUwU jokingly suspects that Game Master Joel is already taking notes.JediJulius could imagine a similar concept for the Automaton as well:

I would love to see something like that on the Illuminate side or a veiled Helldiver bot on the Automaton side. It would add a lot to the horror themes of the game.

Helldivers 2 is heavily influenced by the community, and the developers have listened to their players in the past. So the chances of encountering the Fallen Helldiver on the battlefield in the future are by no means zero.

There is definitely enough time for that. Because if the interest remains, Helldivers 2 could be supported until 2035 and even beyond.
