00:00BEHIND THE SCENES
00:15Omens of Tyranny is our big new update for Helldivers
00:19that introduces some of the long-awaited features
00:22into Helldivers 2, such as the Illuminate Faction,
00:25vehicles, and urban warfare.
00:30BEHIND THE SCENES
00:33The fast recon vehicle.
00:35It's the peak of human technology in terms of what is fun.
00:41It allows you to cover vast distances in a much shorter time.
00:44Completely made to make sure that you are safe inside the car.
00:48Sure, some people may die.
00:50BEHIND THE SCENES
00:54The Illuminate are an ancient civilization.
00:58They once had this sprawling empire ruling over the Milky Way
01:03that we destroyed after the First Galactic War.
01:07The Illuminates were exiled from the galaxy.
01:09Humanity fought them defeated.
01:12The Illuminates have been scheming and plotting
01:14a way to strike back at Super Earth.
01:17They hate freedom and want to destroy us.
01:20These aliens, they're...
01:22They're scary.
01:25Fighting the Illuminates will be a lot different
01:27from fighting the other factions.
01:29You will be a lot less able to just go in guns blazing
01:32and you have to be thoughtful about how you approach them.
01:36They are a lot fewer in number, but a lot more powerful per enemy
01:41and that means you have to spend quite a while fighting each individual
01:45which is pretty different from the other factions.
01:48They've been attacking our colonists and abducting them
01:51and transforming them into horrible monsters called the Boatless.
01:57Former citizens of Super Earth, they have lost their minds
02:02and something even deeper, which is their ability to vote
02:07which is the worst possible thing that could happen to a citizen of Super Earth.
02:11These Boatless have really interesting game mechanics around them.
02:14Their sight is poor, but their hearing is pretty good.
02:17Stealth mechanics will be something that you can use at great advantage.
02:22They'll follow the commands of their masters, their new masters.
02:26They are obviously beyond saving.
02:28You can tell just by looking at them how gross they are.
02:31We just have to free them by offering them the sweet embrace of death.
02:37They shepherd the Boatless around and tells them where to go when they discover a threat.
02:44You're fighting something that is a conscious thinking enemy
02:49but still not as smart as a help ever.
02:52They are super advanced war machines that lay siege to the colonies.
02:58If you're really good at sneaking around, you might get some hot shots in
03:02before it knows that you're there
03:04because it only activates its shield once it goes into combat.
03:11In Omens of Tyranny, you'll be fighting the Illuminates in urban environments.
03:15These type corridors require a different strategy.
03:19You might end up in situations where you're caught in a dead end
03:23overrun by Boatless zombies.
03:26The colonies are being specifically targeted by the Illuminate.
03:29We're not yet sure why, but we do know that they have an interest in abducting our civilians
03:34and in constructing these sort of mysterious monoliths inside of our colonies.
03:42Omens of Tyranny is the patch you've been asking for since launch.
03:46We're so happy to finally be able to get the Illuminates in your hands.
03:51Super-Earth colonies are under attack as we speak,
03:54so get out there now, Helldivers, and kill some Illuminates.
