Helldivers 2 is in a near constate state of chaos at the moment, as the Illuminate is proving a little tougher to eradicate than we initially thought. Having successfully wiped them off Calypso, the Illuminate came back with a vengeance to invade Genesis Prime, and players have been scrambling ever since in an attempt to defeat our mysterious new alien foe.
The best way to defeat someone is to know them first though, and a recent breakdown trailer for the Omens of Tyranny update may have provided players with some hints on how to decipher the Illuminate's alphabet. A Reddit user called DreamToBeLazy recently shared their workings on the Helldivers 2 subreddit, using the latest trailer as a basis for their work.
DreamToBeLazy very cleverly spotted that when the names and titles of Arrowhead's developers pop on screen, they very briefly turn into the Illuminate alphabet. In the Illuminate language, the names of these developers flick between symbols quite rapidly, but their job titles stay the same, meaning we can cross-reference our own alphabet with that of the Illuminate's to get a decent idea as to what it could look like.
"No pain, no gain" isn't always the best...
