Helldivers 2 Community Seeks Clues 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 meticulously analyzing messages for hidden details.

If you're not up to speed with the narrative in Helldivers 2, here's a quick recap: developer Arrowhead has reintroduced the Illuminate, escalating the galactic warfare as the latest threat to Super Earth. The eerie foe is using a massive black hole to slowly consume entire 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 a 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 into the evacuation orders, searching for hidden meanings in Arrowhead's broadcasts.

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, breaking them down into dots and dashes, and deduced several codes: "045a5, 06efbc, e1b5f0 then 21232. We don't know what this is the code to but have fun."

The "06EFBC" code 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.

It's not the first time players have scoured Arrowhead's updates for secrets. With the Meridian Singularity slowly approaching Super Earth, it's questionable whether Helldivers have the luxury of time for such pursuits.

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

This effort aims to halt the giant tear in space that's encroaching on everything the Helldivers hold dear, and perhaps reveal more secret messages in the process.

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 invaded 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, mind-controlled by the Illuminate and known as the Voteless by Super Earth. These unfortunate souls are little more than zombies, intent on tearing players limb from limb.
