Helldivers 2 Fans Seek Hidden Messages in Black Hole Crisis

Easter eggs and secret messages have long been a staple in ongoing games, and Helldivers 2 is no exception. As the game progresses through its intense narrative, players are keenly analyzing every message for hidden clues, especially amid the ongoing conflict with the Illuminate.

To get you up to speed on Helldivers 2's storyline: developer Arrowhead has reintroduced the Illuminate, escalating galactic warfare as the newest threat to Super Earth. The Illuminate is using a massive black hole to slowly consume planets, with the latest targets being Angel's Venture and now Moradesh. Ironically, this black hole was initially created by Super Earth on Meridian in an attempt to eradicate a Terminid Super Colony. Arrowhead's knack for intertwining past events with current narratives has led to the present scenario, where the Illuminate is pushing the black hole towards Super Earth.

As Moradesh faces evacuation, Helldivers players are eagerly awaiting the next phase of this cataclysmic campaign. Meanwhile, some are dissecting the evacuation orders, searching for any hidden meanings in Arrowhead's communications.

Reddit user Pinglyadya posted an image suggesting the presence of an egg in the Moradesh evacuation videos. They further analyzed potential morse code sequences, decoding them into "045a5, 06efbc, e1b5f0 then 21232," although the purpose of these codes remains unclear.

The code "06EFBC" has drawn particular interest, as it corresponds to the hex code for a color named "Last Straw," hinting at something ominous. While nothing definitive has been uncovered yet, many fans believe these messages hold deeper secrets.

Arrowhead's history of embedding secrets in updates is well-known, but with the Meridian Singularity looming closer to Super Earth, one wonders if players have the luxury of time to unravel these mysteries.

Following Moradesh's destruction, Arrowhead issued a new Major Order, urging players to defend planets to facilitate the construction of a Penrose Energy Siphon. This device aims to reduce Dark Energy Accumulation temporarily.

This effort could halt the advancing spatial tear and perhaps introduce more secret messages into the game.

Helldivers 2's ongoing, community-driven Galactic War has captivated its player base for over a year. The Illuminate's invasion in December brought new enemies and Super Earth colonies, including urban environments filled with the Voteless—civilians mind-controlled by the Illuminate and turned into zombie-like threats.
