Helldivers 2 fans are concerned that newly-discovered cloaked ships above Automaton planets are harbingersfor a much bigger threat arriving soon.
A string of Helldivers 2 players have noticed what appear to be giant, cloaked ships hovering above Automaton planets, which seems to signify that a new threat is going to emerge soon.
After the playerbase was able to liberate Malevelon Creek with ease, many were worried that the devs allowed it to happenas a way to distract themfrom something big.
With these ships now being spotted, it’s easy tosuspect that something is going to happen. The only question is what it could be, and when.
The evidence of these ships can be seenon the Helldivers 2 subreddit, where one person posted a screenshot, saying: “Cloaked, massive ships over Automaton worlds.”
Speculation is running rampant in the comments, with many fearing that it’s givingthe Automatons another weaponto use against them:
“Hulks were their stratagems, what if they aren’t the biggest they have to throw at us?”
However, not every user is thinking it has to be related to Automatons, as there is one specific type of enemy from the first game that the community has beenwaiting to come to Helldivers 2.
As one person mentions, “Only one enemy faction that I know of that used to use cloaking technology…”
This is in reference to the Illuminate, a race of aliens known for their cloaking abilities, which some people think havealready been sighted in the gamealready.
