Helldivers 2 Community Seeks Hidden Messages in Black Hole Crisis

Easter eggs and secret messages have become a staple in many ongoing games, and Helldivers 2 is no exception. Amid the ongoing, calamitous conflict with the Illuminate, players are meticulously analyzing messages for hidden details, eager to uncover what lies beneath the surface.

For those who haven't kept up with the narrative in Helldivers 2, here's a brief summary: Developer Arrowhead has reintroduced the Illuminate, pushing the boundaries of galactic warfare as the latest threat to Super Earth. This eerie adversary is using a massive black hole to slowly consume entire planets, now reaching 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 style often involves building upon the outcomes of galactic campaigns, leading to the current scenario where the Illuminate is slowly pushing a black hole towards Super Earth.

With Moradesh now evacuating, the Helldivers community is on edge, anticipating the next move in this cataclysmic campaign. Some players are delving into the evacuation orders, seeking hidden meanings within the messages broadcasted by Arrowhead.

Reddit user Pinglyadya shared an intriguing image of what appears to be an egg hidden within the Moradesh videos. In the comments, they further analyzed potential morse code strings, converting them into dots and dashes, which resulted in several codes: "045a5, 06efbc, e1b5f0 then 21232." While the purpose of these codes remains a mystery, Pinglyadya encouraged the community to have fun deciphering them.

The code "06EFBC" sparked interest in another thread, as it could correspond to the hex code for a shade of teal called "Last Straw," which carries an ominous undertone. Although no concrete findings have emerged beyond this, some fans are convinced there's more to these messages.

Players have a history of uncovering secrets in Arrowhead's updates, but with the Meridian Singularity steadily approaching Super Earth, one wonders if the Helldivers have time to spare for such pursuits.

Following the destruction of Moradesh, Arrowhead issued a new Major Order for players, tasking them with defending planets to enable the construction of a Penrose Energy Siphon. This device aims to achieve a "one-time reduction" in Dark Energy Accumulation.

This effort could potentially halt the giant tear in space that threatens everything the Helldivers hold dear, and might even reveal more secret messages along the way.

This ongoing saga is part of Helldivers 2's community-driven Galactic War, which has captivated players for over a year. The Illuminate's invasion in December introduced new enemies and brand-new Super Earth colonies, including the game's first urban environments. These city streets are filled with innocent civilians mind-controlled by the Illuminate, known as the Voteless by Super Earth. These hapless individuals, more akin to zombies, pose a threat as they aim to tear players limb from limb.
