Helldivers 2 Players Tasked with Preventing Meridian Wormhole Disaster, Venturing Back Into the Ominous Bug Fog

This week, Helldivers 2 fans didn’t get the massive update some were eagerly anticipating, but there’s still an intriguing mission on the horizon with some seriously high Galactic War stakes. If you’re as fed up as I am with the dreaded purple Meridian death ball wreaking havoc on planets, here’s your shot at stopping it.

This ominous sphere has already consumed three worlds: Moradesh, Angel’s Venture, and, most recently, Ivis. For some players, this news is a cause for mourning, while others are a bit indifferent, feeling that this death ball saga has dragged on a bit too long. It’s definitely time to put a halt to its destructive path before it reaches Super Earth.

Now, let’s talk about the latest directive. After a triumphant victory on Wezen, divers have been busy constructing an Exosuit Support Bay on the Democracy Space Station. This addition conveniently slashes exosuit stratagem cooldowns for everyone by a much-appreciated 35%.

According to reports, “Center of Science astrophysicists on Fenrir III are closing in on the third and final stage of a plan to thwart the Meridian Singularity.” However, delving deeper into the complex world of Dark Energy manipulation demands an enormous supply of E-710 for experimentation.

High Command recently issued a major order authorizing a secondary, limited expedition into the Gloom. The goal? To advance our technology enough to shut down the Meridian Wormhole for good. Any surplus E-710 might even benefit mercantile interests striving for common prosperity.

To liberate the planet Nivel 43 and secure E-710 to halt the death ball, divers must once again confront the notorious “Gloom-specific terminid strains” encountered in previous foggy forays. Let’s see those big, bad bugs try to stand in the way this time!

What’s heartening is seeing players’ excitement about diving back into the Gloom. One enthusiastic post on the game’s subreddit exclaimed, “THERE’S ANOTHER GLOOM EXPEDITION,” and the comments are filled with players eager to engage with some more terminid-smashing action. It’s a fresh diversion from all the automaton and illuminate battles that have been dominating the scene lately, and that enthusiasm is infectious.

Thinking about taking the plunge into the gloom this weekend to tackle that wormhole? Share your plans with us in the comments below!
