Players diving into Helldivers 2 may not have received the massive update some were eagerly anticipating, but there’s a new mission on the horizon with some serious Galactic War implications. If the relentless destruction by the eerie purple Meridian death ball has you worn out, you now have your chance to take it down.
This menacing entity has already consumed three planets: Moradesh, Angel’s Venture, and most recently, Ivis. Some players find themselves in mourning, while others are just fed up with this prolonged death ball narrative. It’s time we halt its march toward Super Earth once and for all.
The new major mission follows a triumph on Wezen, which allowed divers to set up an Exosuit Support Bay on their Democracy Space Station. This development has conveniently slashed exosuit stratagem cooldowns by an impressive 35% for all.
“In astrophysics news, scientists stationed on Fenrir III are nearing the completion of the third and final phase of a plan to neutralize the Meridian Singularity,” the mission details. “Yet, pushing the boundaries into the speculative field of Dark Energy manipulation demands vast amounts of E-710 for experimentation.”
Revisiting the mission log, High Command has greenlit a secondary limited expedition into the Gloom. Their aim? To further our technological advancements and finally shut down the Meridian Wormhole. Any surplus E-710 might even be diverted to bolster mercantile operations, benefiting the wider community.
To liberate Planet Nivel 43, collect that precious E-710, and stop the marauding death ball, divers must once again face the daunting “Gloom-specific terminid strains.” It’s a challenging return to the fog, but many are ready to take it on and crush those massive bugs.
Players seem eager about the journey back into the Gloom. “THERE’S ANOTHER GLOOM EXPEDITION!” one enthusiast shouted on the game’s subreddit, sparking a flurry of excitement among players keen on squashing more terminids. Many are itching for a change from battling automatons and illuminates, and it’s nice to see the energy levels high again.
Planning to venture into the Gloom yourself this weekend to tackle that wormhole? We’d love to hear your thoughts below!
