The community joked that Gamemaster Joel has the dream job at Arrowhead Game Studios, as he has full control of in-game events and difficulty. Unfortunately, in the video players couldn’t see Joel’s face but his intentions are clear.

All this time, the community believed that Gamemaster Joel was their ally, but this footage confirms that Joel is the enemy, in fact, in the footage players can see that he also takes control of an Automaton Hulk to shred a Helldiver into pieces.

Is Gamemaster Joel On the Illuminate’s Side?

Right before Gamemaster Joel caught the Arrowhead employee, an interesting message was displayed on Joel’s screen: “Fire Blue Beam?” as players were approaching extraction. It’s unclear what the “Blue Beam” is but players are speculating that this has something to do with the game’s third rumored faction, Illuminate.

Some players are not surprised as many already saw this coming. The community has been speculating that Super Earth has been lying and brainwashing its citizens.

There is a theory that claims Super Earth waits for Automatons to mine raw materials to create pure metal, and then they send in Helldivers to kill them and gather those resources. As for Terminids, the game has explicitly mentioned that they are a source of E-710.

This completely changes the battle as Terminids and Automatons have been trying to save their land all this time. With Super Earth and Gamemaster Joel betraying the players, it’s unclear how the story will unfold.
