A recent leak suggests that Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead is preparing to release a new enemy unit called the ‘Observer’, which belongs to the Illuminate alien race. Players recently won the ‘Battle of Super Earth’, where they faced the Illuminate. However, this new leak suggests that in the world of Helldivers 2, the threat looming over Super Earth may not be completely over yet.
Prominent leaker Iron_S1ghts has revealed a potential new enemy for Helldivers 2 called the ‘Observer’, which belongs to the Illuminate alien faction. The leaker has shared four images that show the mysterious entity in action. The creature resembles the Watcher in appearance, but also has the ability to fire deadly lasers. Iron_S1ghts believes that if this enemy is officially included, it could be an enhanced or alternate version of the Watcher introduced for cultists. According to the report, when the Observer patrols the map, it turns its laser beam in the direction of players — though it is not fully capable of accurately hitting its prey.
Helldivers 2 Leak Reveals New Illuminate Enemy Unit Called the Observer
Leaker Iron_S1ghts has clarified that he does not have detailed information about the Observer and that this enemy can potentially be destroyed in gameplay. Iron_S1ghts has previously shared several accurate leaks related to Helldivers 2. The recent leak also mentions two other potential enemies from the Illuminate faction: a sniper-assassin who can teleport during battle and pounce on players, and the Xenobite, which appears to be a faster but relatively weaker version of the Overseer.
It’s important to note that none of these leaks have been officially confirmed as of now, though Iron_S1ghts’ prior track record lends some credibility to these claims. Meanwhile, the most prominent of the confirmed content coming soon to Helldivers 2 is the long-awaited ‘Review Bomb Cape’. Arrowhead’s CEO recently confirmed its presence in a Discord channel, though no release window has been shared for it. Between this combination of official announcements and potential leaks, Helldivers 2 fans have a lot of exciting things to look forward to and experience.
