Helldivers 2 Players Seek Hidden Messages in Black Hole Disaster

Easter eggs and secret messages have become a staple in many ongoing games, and *Helldivers 2* is no exception. Amidst the ongoing, calamitous conflict with the Illuminate, players are meticulously analyzing messages for hidden details.

If you're not up to speed with the narrative in *Helldivers 2*, here's a quick recap: Developer Arrowhead has reintroduced the Illuminate, pushing the boundaries of galactic warfare as the latest threat to Super Earth. This eerie foe is using a massive black hole to slowly consume entire planets, advancing from Angel's Venture to Moradesh. Ironically, this black hole was initially created by Super Earth on Meridian in an attempt to eradicate a Terminid Super Colony. Arrowhead's storytelling thrives on building upon the outcomes of galactic campaigns, leading to the current situation where the Illuminate is pushing a black hole towards Super Earth.

As Moradesh faces evacuation, the Helldivers are eagerly anticipating the next phase of this cataclysmic campaign. However, some players are diving deep into the evacuation orders, searching for hidden meanings in Arrowhead's broadcasts.

Reddit user Pinglyadya shared an image of what appears to be an egg hidden within the Moradesh videos. In the comments, they further analyzed potential Morse code strings, deciphering them into dots and dashes, which resulted in several codes: "045a5, 06efbc, e1b5f0 then 21232. We don't know what this is the code to but have fun."

The "06EFBC" code garnered attention in another thread, as it might correspond to the hex code for a shade of teal called Last Straw, hinting at something ominous. While nothing concrete has been confirmed yet, some fans are convinced that these messages contain hidden secrets.

It's not the first time players have searched for secrets in Arrowhead's updates. With the Meridian Singularity slowly advancing towards Super Earth, one wonders if the Helldivers have time to spare for this.

Following the destruction of Moradesh, Arrowhead issued a new Major Order for players, urging them to defend planets so Super Earth can build a Penrose Energy Siphon and achieve a "one-time reduction" in Dark Energy Accumulation. This effort aims to halt the giant tear in space that's slowly encroaching on everything the Helldivers hold dear, potentially revealing more secret messages in the process.

All of this is part of *Helldivers 2*'s ongoing, community-driven Galactic War, which has captivated the game's community for over a year. The Illuminate's invasion in December introduced new enemies and Super Earth colonies, including the game's first urban environments. These city streets are filled with innocent civilians, known as the Voteless, who are mind-controlled by the Illuminate and act like zombies, intent on tearing players limb from limb.
