Helldivers 2 Players Are Looking For Hidden Messages Amid Black Hole Disaster

Easter eggs and secret messages have long been a staple in many ongoing games, and Helldivers 2 is no exception. Amid an escalating conflict with the Illuminate, players are meticulously analyzing messages for hidden clues.

If you're not up to speed with Helldivers 2's evolving storyline, here's a quick recap: Developer Arrowhead has reintroduced the Illuminate, intensifying galactic warfare as the newest threat to Super Earth. This eerie adversary is using a massive black hole to gradually consume entire planets, advancing from Angel's Venture to Moradesh. Ironically, this black hole was initially created by Super Earth on Meridian to eradicate a Terminid Super Colony. Arrowhead has a knack for building upon the outcomes of galactic campaigns, and the slow progression of the Illuminate's black hole towards Super Earth is the latest development in this ongoing saga.

Currently, Moradesh is being evacuated, and Helldivers are eagerly anticipating the next phase of this cataclysmic campaign. However, some players are delving deeper into the evacuation orders, searching for hidden meanings in the messages broadcast by Arrowhead.

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 sequences, translating them into dots and dashes, resulting in several codes: "045a5, 06efbc, e1b5f0, then 21232. We don't know what these codes unlock, but enjoy the hunt."

The "06EFBC" code has sparked interest in another thread, as it may correspond to the hex code for a shade of teal called Last Straw, hinting at ominous possibilities. While nothing definitive has emerged yet, some fans are convinced that these messages hold hidden secrets.

This isn't the first time players have scoured Arrowhead's updates for secrets. However, with the Meridian Singularity slowly advancing towards Super Earth, one wonders if the Helldivers can afford the time to pursue these mysteries.

Following the destruction of Moradesh, Arrowhead has issued a new Major Order for players, directing them to defend planets so that Super Earth can construct a Penrose Energy Siphon and achieve a "one-time reduction" in Dark Energy Accumulation. Hopefully, this will halt the growing tear in space that threatens everything the Helldivers cherish, and possibly unveil more secret messages along the way.

Helldivers 2's ongoing, community-driven Galactic War has captivated its player base for over a year. The Illuminate's invasion began in December, introducing new alien enemies and Super Earth colonies, including the game's first urban environments with city streets filled with mind-controlled civilians, known as the Voteless. These unfortunate souls, manipulated by the Illuminate, are nothing more than zombies intent on dismembering players.
