Helldivers 2 Community Seeks Clues in Black Hole Crisis

Easter eggs and secret messages have become a beloved tradition in many ongoing games, and Helldivers 2 is no exception. As players navigate the ongoing, catastrophic conflict with the Illuminate, they're meticulously examining messages for any hidden details.

For those who need a quick recap on Helldivers 2's narrative, developer Arrowhead has reintroduced the Illuminate, escalating the galactic warfare as the latest threat to Super Earth. The eerie adversary is using a massive black hole to gradually consume entire planets, with its sights now set on Angel's Venture and Moradesh. Ironically, this black hole was initially created by Super Earth on Meridian in an attempt to eradicate a Terminid Super Colony. Arrowhead's storytelling thrives on the "yes, and" approach, leading to the current scenario where the Illuminate is pushing the black hole towards Super Earth, marking the latest development in a series of escalating events.

As Moradesh faces evacuation, Helldivers are not only preparing for the next phase of this cataclysmic campaign but also delving into the evacuation orders, searching for hidden meanings within Arrowhead's broadcasts.

A Reddit user named Pinglyadya shared an image suggesting the presence of an egg in the Moradesh evacuation videos. They further analyzed potential morse code sequences, translating them into codes like "045a5, 06efbc, e1b5f0 then 21232," suggesting these could unlock something yet to be discovered.

The code "06EFBC" garnered attention in another thread, as it matches the hex code for a shade of teal called "Last Straw," hinting at ominous possibilities. While nothing definitive has emerged from these findings, many fans believe there are secrets yet to be uncovered in these messages.

This isn't the first time the Helldivers community has gone treasure hunting in Arrowhead's updates. However, with the Meridian Singularity inching closer to Super Earth, one might question whether there's time for such pursuits.

Following Moradesh's destruction, Arrowhead issued a new Major Order, urging players to defend planets to allow Super Earth to construct a Penrose Energy Siphon. This device aims to achieve a "one-time reduction" in Dark Energy Accumulation, potentially halting the giant tear in space that threatens everything the Helldivers hold dear. And who knows? It might also release more secret messages into the ether.

This narrative is all part of Helldivers 2's ongoing, community-driven Galactic War, which has captivated players for over a year. The Illuminate's invasion began in December, introducing new enemies and the first urban environments on new Super Earth colonies. These colonies feature city streets filled with the Voteless—innocent civilians mind-controlled by the Illuminate, turned into zombie-like beings intent on dismembering Helldivers.
