Helldivers 2 players might not have received the massive update some were eagerly anticipating, but the latest mission promises to elevate the stakes in the ongoing Galactic War. If you’re tired of seeing the purple Meridian death ball obliterate planets, you’ll have an opportunity to put an end to its path of destruction.
So far, the death ball has consumed three worlds: Moradesh, Angel’s Venture, and most recently Ivis. For some players, this has been a source of grief, while others are growing indifferent, feeling that this storyline is dragging on a bit too much—if you’re among the hardcore divers, you might find yourself itching to stop its advance on Super Earth.
This mission follows a triumph on Wezen where divers successfully established an Exosuit Support Bay on their Democracy Space Station, reducing exosuit cooldowns by 35% for everyone.
According to the latest strategy update, astrophysicists at the Center of Science on Fenrir III are on the brink of launching the third and final phase of the plan to neutralize the Meridian Singularity. However, delving into the complex field of Dark Energy manipulation demands significant amounts of E-710 for experimentation.
This comes as High Command has greenlit a second, albeit restricted, expedition into the Gloom. This endeavor aims to advance technology sufficient to halt the Meridian Wormhole. Any surplus E-710 could potentially benefit commercial entities, enhancing our collective prosperity.
To free Nivel 43 and seize the necessary E-710 to stop the death ball, divers will once again face the familiar “Gloom-specific terminid strains” from previous encounters in the fog. Expect to tackle some formidable bugs.
Excitingly, players seem eager to return to the fog. A post on the game’s subreddit enthusiastically announced, “THERES ANOTHER GLOOM EXPEDITION,” sparking a positive reaction from fans thrilled to crush more terminids. Perhaps they’re keen to take a break from the usual automaton and illuminate battles, but their enthusiasm is invigorating.
Are you planning to venture into the gloom this weekend to tackle that wormhole? Share your thoughts with us below!
