Helldivers 2 Players Tasked with Preventing the Meridian Wormhole from Destroying More Planets, Even if it Means Returning to the Spooky Bug Fog

This week’s update for Helldivers 2 might not have been the major overhaul some players were anticipating, but there’s no denying the excitement over the high-stakes mission that’s just landed. If you’re fed up with seeing the dreaded purple Meridian death ball destroy planet after planet, now might finally be your chance to put a stop to its path of destruction.

The relentless death ball has already claimed three victims: Moradesh, Angel’s Venture, and most recently, Ivis. For many players, this string of devastation has either left them grieving or somewhat indifferent, as the ongoing storyline has begun to feel a bit drawn out for the hardiest of divers. Clearly, it’s time to halt its advance toward Super Earth.

After a triumphant victory on Wezen, divers have laid the groundwork for a crucial Exosuit Support Bay on their Democracy Space Station. This new addition has successfully slashed the cooldown times for exosuit stratagems by a hefty 35%, providing a significant strategic advantage.

According to updates from the Center of Science, astrophysicists stationed on Fenrir III are nearing the final stage of their ambitious plan to neutralize the Meridian Singularity. However, to make headway in the complex realm of Dark Energy manipulation, they are in dire need of substantial quantities of E-710 to carry out their experiments.

High Command has responded by giving the go-ahead for another expedition into the mysterious and perilous Gloom, aiming to advance technological progress enough to close the Meridian Wormhole once and for all. Any excess of the elusive E-710 may also be channeled toward commercial ventures, promoting shared prosperity.

Divers ready to embark on a mission to free the planet Nivel 43 and secure the necessary E-710 will need to brace themselves for another encounter with the Gloom-specific terminid strains they battled previously. These formidable foes won’t make it easy. The challenge is set, and the stakes are sky-high.

Community excitement is palpable. A post on the game’s subreddit enthusiastically exclaims, “THERE’S ANOTHER GLOOM EXPEDITION,” sparking a flurry of discussion among players eager to dive back into the fog and crush some terminids. After facing off against endless automatons and illuminates, a change of pace seems to be just what the player base needed.

So, will you be gearing up to take on the Gloom and tackle that wormhole this weekend? Share your plans in the comments below!
