Helldivers 2 Players Have Opened A Black Hole Or Worse

Helldivers 2 gamers have been having a tough go of it recently, falling quick of some main orders, however issues look to be swinging again of their favor. This previous weekend, the neighborhood managed to rally regardless of the innumerable odds in opposition to them and accomplished a significant order. Their reward? An ominous black gap the place a planet was once…

For those who go to Meridia, the beforehand embattled planet that was a Terminid supercolony till a couple of days in the past, there’s not actually a world there. As an alternative, you’ll now discover a world-shaped black gap. You understand how gamers hated Hellmire a lot they wished to outright glass the entire thing? Properly, I feel Helldivers 2 gamers have mastered the artwork of manifesting and leveled a planet, and it’s as awe-inspiring as it’s deeply unsettling.

Over the weekend, the Helldivers 2 neighborhood started to note that Meridia seemed very totally different after the completion of the main order to pump the planet for “darkish fluid.” One participant managed to doc the very second that the main order was accomplished, displaying how the planet was outright erased from the galactic map and changed by the present anomaly. Funnily, they are often heard muttering “oh shit” because the change happens earlier than their eyes. One other merely posted their character staring into the void and asking, “What in liberty’s title did we simply do?”

Some have recorded themselves wanting into the void, and in case you stick round lengthy sufficient, it apparently makes some appropriately bizarre sounds. However the single greatest factor occurring proper now could be the theorycrafting. One concept, which appears to carry specific credence as a consequence of an in-game line, means that Tremendous Earth simply tasked the Helldivers 2 neighborhood to faucet a planet that was a supply for warp gasoline. Issues may’ve gone too far and we’d have opened up an enormous wormhole as a substitute.

Naturally, this has led the neighborhood to posit that the Illuminate, a 3rd enemy faction from the unique Helldivers, is about to reach within the recreation imminently. I may consider it. That is the primary consequential occasion to occur in Helldivers 2 in a protracted whereas, and it does really feel like in some unspecified time in the future, the galactic battle story wants to select issues again up. What higher means to take action than a brand new enemy and a three-pronged battle effort?

The foremost order, and subsequent black hole-ification of Meridia, has achieved one thing that Helldivers 2 has struggled with of late: it’s created a second that unites its gamers in awe. Already, some are bemoaning the truth that they missed out on the in-game occasion, and I’m positive these gamers at the moment are doubling down on being round for the subsequent one. When Helldivers 2 hits, it nonetheless hits higher than most live-service video games in the marketplace proper now, and if its builders at Arrowhead can simply maintain that momentum going, the group may restore its good title after a turbulent interval.

No matter no matter does or doesn’t come out of that factor, it’s protected to say that Helldivers 2 gamers could also be about to reap regardless of the hell it’s that they sowed down on Meridia. From the look and sound of it, it ain’t gonna be fairly.
