Helldivers 2 Community Seeks Hidden Messages in Black Hole Crisis

Easter eggs and secret messages are a beloved tradition in many ongoing games, and Helldivers 2 is no exception. As players navigate the ongoing, calamitous conflict with the Illuminate, they're scouring messages for hidden details, eager to uncover any secrets Arrowhead might have tucked away.

If you're not up to speed with Helldivers 2's narrative, here's a quick rundown: developer Arrowhead has reintroduced the Illuminate, escalating the galactic warfare as the latest threat to Super Earth. This eerie adversary is using a massive black hole to consume entire planets, with its latest target being Moradesh after Angel's Venture. Ironically, the black hole was originally created by Super Earth on Meridian in an attempt to eradicate a Terminid Super Colony. Arrowhead's knack for building upon the outcomes of galactic campaigns has led us to the current scenario, where the Illuminate is slowly pushing this black hole towards Super Earth.

With Moradesh now evacuating, the Helldivers community is on the edge of their seats, anticipating the next phase of this cataclysmic campaign. However, some players are also delving deep into the evacuation orders, searching for hidden meanings within Arrowhead's broadcasts.

Reddit user Pinglyadya shared an image suggesting the presence of an egg in the Moradesh evacuation videos. In the comments, they further analyzed potential Morse code strings, breaking them down into sequences like "045a5, 06efbc, e1b5f0 then 21232." While the purpose of these codes remains a mystery, Pinglyadya encouraged others to have fun trying to crack them.

The "06EFBC" code, in particular, has sparked interest, as it matches the hex code for a color called "Last Straw," hinting at potential ominous undertones. While nothing concrete has come from this discovery yet, some fans are convinced that these messages hold deeper secrets.

This isn't the first time the Helldivers 2 community has sought out hidden secrets in Arrowhead's updates. With the Meridian Singularity looming ever closer to Super Earth, one wonders if the Helldivers can afford to spend time unraveling these mysteries.

In response to Moradesh's destruction, Arrowhead has issued a new Major Order, calling on players to defend planets and facilitate the construction of a Penrose Energy Siphon. This device aims to achieve a "one-time reduction" in Dark Energy Accumulation, potentially halting the advance of the giant tear in space that threatens everything dear to the Helldivers. And who knows, perhaps this effort will also unveil more secret messages for the community to decode.

All of this is woven into the fabric 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 Super Earth colonies, including the game's first urban environments. These settings, filled with city streets and mind-controlled civilians dubbed "The Voteless" by Super Earth, add a new layer of complexity and horror to the fight against the Illuminate's zombie-like minions.
