A recent datamine discovery in Helldivers 2 has unveiled a potentially powerful and visually stunning Illuminating Aurora Borealis, activated accidentally by dropping an Alien obelisk from the sky. Although the dataminer, Iron_S1ghts, managed to capture a breathtaking light show, they have struggled to recreate this event, leaving players to speculate further. The Illuminate's beams reportedly deal 1300 damage on impact, suggesting there may be more surprises hidden within the game's mechanics related to the Illuminate Obelisk.

What is the Illuminate Aurora Borealis in Helldivers 2?

The Illuminate Aurora Borealis is a newly discovered in-game effect activated through datamining, resembling a deadly lightshow that generates significant damage when activated by the Illuminate Obelisk. Its full capabilities in the game are yet to be confirmed.

Helldivers 2, developed by Arrowhead Game Studios, continues to evolve as they incorporate player feedback and datamined elements into the gameplay experience. Following the success of the original Helldivers, this sequel has drawn attention for its intense cooperative gameplay mechanics and humorous take on sci-fi tropes. The game has been adding various crossover elements, which further enriches its world, keeping the community engaged with frequent updates and new content.
