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. Amidst the ongoing conflict with the Illuminate, players are meticulously searching for hidden details within the game's communications.

For those not up to speed with Helldivers 2's narrative, here's a brief recap: Developer Arrowhead has reintroduced the Illuminate, escalating galactic warfare as the latest threat to Super Earth. This eerie enemy is utilizing a massive black hole to slowly consume planets, advancing from Angel's Venture to 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 building on the outcomes of galactic campaigns has led to the current scenario, where the Illuminate is pushing the black hole towards Super Earth.

With Moradesh now evacuating, Helldivers are eagerly anticipating the next phase of this cataclysmic campaign. Meanwhile, some players are delving deeper into the evacuation orders, seeking hidden meanings in Arrowhead's messages.

Reddit user Pinglyadya shared an image resembling an egg hidden in the Moradesh videos. In the comments, they deciphered potential Morse code strings into sequences like "045a5, 06efbc, e1b5f0, then 21232." The purpose of these codes remains a mystery, but the community is intrigued. The code "06EFBC" garnered attention in another thread, potentially linking to the hex code for a shade of teal called "Last Straw," hinting at ominous undertones. While nothing concrete has emerged yet, many fans believe there are secrets to uncover.

This isn't the first time players have hunted for secrets in Arrowhead's updates. With the Meridian Singularity slowly approaching Super Earth, the urgency of the situation raises questions about whether Helldivers can afford to focus on these mysteries.

Following Moradesh's destruction, Arrowhead issued a new Major Order for players to defend planets, facilitating the construction of a Penrose Energy Siphon. This device aims to achieve a "one-time reduction" in Dark Energy Accumulation.

This effort could halt the expanding tear in space that threatens everything the Helldivers cherish, and perhaps reveal more secret messages along the way.

Helldivers 2's ongoing, community-driven Galactic War has captivated players for over a year. The Illuminate's invasion in December introduced new enemies and Super Earth colonies, including the game's first urban environments. These settings feature city streets filled with mind-controlled civilians known as the Voteless, essentially zombies bent on dismembering players.
