The newHelldivers 2update has been a glorious return to the game’s peak. But if you think it’s made the game easier than you like, then worry not because Arrowhead might be cooking something for that too. A leak recently revealed an upcoming enemy sub-faction known as the Iron Fleet Automatons.
The leaked screenshots show the chrome and shiny terminator-like designs of the new enemies. This sleek look may not be just for show as it could mean that these enemies could be immune or highly resistant to laser and heat-based weapons due to their mirror-like surface.

The Iron Fleet Automatons were first revealed in a post on Reddit by a user named IronS1ghts. These chrome automatons are said to be a tougher, more resilient sub-faction compared to the existing Automatons inHelldivers 2. The leak noted that they had briefly appeared in-game due to a bug.
In addition to the rumors of increased laser resistance, players have also speculated that these chrome automatons could have other unique abilities. Some have suggested that their mirror-like finish might not only make them resistant to certain types of damage but also potentially reflect or absorb energy from weapons.

Looking ahead, the game’s future may depend on how well Arrowhead integrates these new enemies. The devs have made the wrong balancing changes before and if it happens again, they might push more players away rather than bring them back.
But if implemented carefully, these enemies could provide the challenge that hardcore players are asking for. With the favor of players back on their side, the devs must choose what comes next carefully.
