Helldivers 2: Machinery of Oppression 6.1.0: what changed

Illuminate Piloted Constructs

A new variant of the Watcher:

New Sub-Faction: Illuminate Appropriators

The Mindless Masses are set on taking over swaths of territory, with fewer Illuminates units deploying vast hordes of voteless and fleshmobs.

The Appropriators field only Illuminate units, supported by a variety of constructs---piloted and otherwise.

Planets experiencing Exostorms will be visible on the Galactic Map, but the danger will ramp up when you dive to the planet's surface.

The strength of the storms can vary, with higher class storms presenting greater risk.

Sub-objective: The Exospire is protected by a force shield. The squad will first have to locate the access nodes that connect to the subterranean shield generators, and overload them with an electrical surge of liberating force.

Primary Objective: Once the force shield has been deactivated, the squad will enter the Exospire's chamber and destroy its core by eliminating the Dark Fluid cells that maintain it.
