Helldivers 2 Community Seeks Clues in Black Hole Crisis

Easter eggs and secret messages are a well-known feature in many ongoing games, and Helldivers 2 is no exception. As players navigate the ongoing, calamitous conflict with the Illuminate, they are meticulously examining messages for hidden clues.

If you're new to the unfolding narrative in Helldivers 2, here's a quick summary: developer Arrowhead has reintroduced the Illuminate, escalating galactic warfare as the latest threat to Super Earth. This eerie enemy is using a massive black hole to gradually consume entire planets, advancing from Angel's Venture to Moradesh. Ironically, Super Earth initially created the black hole on Meridian in an attempt to eradicate a Terminid Super Colony. Arrowhead's storytelling often builds on the consequences of these galactic campaigns, leading to the current scenario where the Illuminate is pushing the black hole toward Super Earth.

With Moradesh now evacuating, Helldivers are bracing for the next phase of this cataclysmic campaign. Meanwhile, some players are dissecting the evacuation orders, searching for hidden meanings within Arrowhead's broadcasts.

Reddit user Pinglyadya shared an image of what appears to be an egg hidden within the Moradesh videos. In the comments, they further analyzed potential morse code strings, translating them into dots and dashes, which resulted in several codes: "045a5, 06efbc, e1b5f0, and 21232." The purpose of these codes remains unknown, but it's sparked curiosity among players.

The code "06EFBC" has garnered particular interest, as it corresponds to the hex code for a shade of teal called "Last Straw." While no concrete findings have emerged beyond this, some fans believe there are hidden messages waiting to be discovered.

This isn't the first time players have sought secrets in Arrowhead's updates. However, with the Meridian Singularity steadily approaching Super Earth, one might question whether Helldivers have the time to delve into these mysteries.

Following the destruction of Moradesh, Arrowhead issued a new Major Order, tasking players 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, perhaps, it will 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 the first urban environments on Super Earth's new colonies. These city streets are filled with innocent civilians, the Voteless, mind-controlled by the Illuminate and turned into little more than zombies bent on tearing players limb from limb.
