Helldivers 2 Players Seek 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. Amid the ongoing, calamitous conflict with the Illuminate, players are meticulously analyzing every message for hidden details.

If you're not up to speed with the current 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 enemy is using a massive black hole to slowly consume entire planets, moving 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 is known for its "yes, and"-ing approach to the outcomes of galactic campaigns, and the slow progression of the Illuminate pushing a black hole towards Super Earth is the latest twist in this saga.

As Moradesh evacuates, Helldivers are eagerly awaiting the next phase of this cataclysmic campaign. Meanwhile, some players are delving deep into the evacuation orders, searching for hidden meanings in Arrowhead's messages.

Reddit user Pinglyadya shared an intriguing image of what appears to be an egg hidden in the Moradesh videos. In the comments, they further analyzed potential morse code sequences, breaking them down into dots and dashes, which resulted in several codes: "045a5, 06efbc, e1b5f0 then 21232." While the purpose of these codes remains a mystery, Pinglyadya encouraged others to have fun deciphering them.

While nothing concrete has surfaced beyond this, some fans are convinced there are secrets hidden within these messages.

It's not the first time players have searched for secrets in Arrowhead's updates. However, with the Meridian Singularity slowly advancing towards Super Earth, one must wonder if Helldivers have the time to spare on this mystery.

Following the destruction of Moradesh, Arrowhead issued a new Major Order for players, tasking them with defending planets to facilitate 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 massive tear in space that threatens everything the Helldivers hold dear, and possibly 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 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. These zombie-like beings are intent on tearing players limb from limb.
