Helldivers 2 Adds Millennials As Its Newest Enemy Faction

The Cyborgs return to Helldivers 2 in the February 10 update, opening a new front in the game’s multi-year galactic war. A returning faction from the first Helldivers, they bring fresh threats for players to navigate. New enemy types include Agitators, Automaton field commanders that order nearby foes to swarm you; Radicals, cybernetically enhanced humans who employ techno-martial arts; and the Vox Engine, a mobile tank armed with dual heavy lasers, rockets and Gatling guns.

In the 2015 original, Cyborgs began as a group of human dissidents and later became the progenitors of the Automaton mech race players have been fighting. Fans will be tasked with trying to liberate the Cyborgs' home planet, Cyberstan. Developers call them a "disgusting amalgamation of man and machine," saying the cyborgs are "fueled by nothing but rage and socialism" and will stop at nothing to destroy the game's way of life.
