Helldivers 2 Fans Seek Hidden Clues in Black Hole Crisis

Easter eggs and secret messages are a beloved tradition in many ongoing games, and Helldivers 2 is no exception. Amid the ongoing, intense conflict with the Illuminate, players are meticulously examining messages for hidden clues.

For those who need a quick recap of the narrative in Helldivers 2, here it is: developer Arrowhead has reintroduced the Illuminate, who are now escalating galactic warfare as the latest threat to Super Earth. The eerie enemy is using a massive black hole to slowly consume entire planets, starting with Angel's Venture and now moving to Moradesh. Ironically, this black hole was initially created by Super Earth on Meridian in an attempt to eradicate a Terminid Super Colony. Arrowhead is known for its storytelling style, where each campaign outcome leads to new, unexpected developments. The current situation, with the Illuminate pushing a black hole towards Super Earth, is just the latest twist in this ongoing saga.

As Moradesh faces evacuation, Helldivers are bracing for the next phase of this cataclysmic campaign. However, some players are delving deeper into the evacuation orders, searching for hidden meanings in the messages broadcasted by Arrowhead.

A Reddit user, Pinglyadya, shared an image of what appears to be an egg hidden in the Moradesh videos. In the comments, they further analyzed potential Morse code strings, translating them into sequences like "045a5, 06efbc, e1b5f0 then 21232." While the purpose of these codes remains a mystery, they invite players to join in the fun of decoding.

The "06EFBC" code has garnered attention in another thread, as it might correspond to the hex code for a shade of teal called Last Straw, hinting at something ominous. While nothing concrete has emerged beyond this, some fans are convinced there's more to uncover in these messages.

This isn't the first time players have searched for secrets in Arrowhead's updates. However, with the Meridian Singularity slowly approaching Super Earth, it's uncertain whether Helldivers have the luxury of time to pursue these mysteries.

Following the destruction of Moradesh, Arrowhead has issued a new Major Order for players, tasking them with defending 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 is all part of Helldivers 2's ongoing, community-driven Galactic War, which has captivated the game's community for over a year. The Illuminate's invasion began in December, introducing new enemies and new Super Earth colonies, including the game's first urban environments. These city streets are filled with innocent civilians, known as the Voteless, who are mind-controlled by the Illuminate and act like zombies, intent on tearing players limb from limb.
