Helldivers 2 Players Seek Hidden Messages in Black Hole Crisis

Easter eggs and secret messages are a beloved tradition in many ongoing games, and *Helldivers 2* is no exception. With the ongoing, calamitous conflict against 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, escalating the galactic warfare as the latest threat to Super Earth. The eerie foe is using a massive black hole to slowly consume entire planets, now reaching Angel's Venture and Moradesh. Ironically, this black hole was initially created by Super Earth on Meridian in an attempt to eradicate a Terminid Super Colony. Arrowhead's knack for building on the outcomes of galactic campaigns has led to the current scenario, with the Illuminate pushing a black hole towards Super Earth.

As Moradesh evacuates, Helldivers are eagerly anticipating the next phase of this cataclysmic campaign. Meanwhile, some players are delving 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 in the Moradesh videos. In the comments, they further analyzed potential morse code strings, breaking them down into dots and dashes, resulting in codes like "045a5, 06efbc, e1b5f0 then 21232." While the purpose of these codes remains unknown, they've sparked curiosity among the community.

The code "06EFBC" has garnered attention in another thread, as it corresponds to the hex code for a shade of teal called Last Straw, hinting at something ominous. While nothing concrete has emerged, some fans are convinced there's more to these messages.

This isn't the first time players have searched for secrets in Arrowhead's updates. With the Meridian Singularity slowly approaching Super Earth, it's uncertain whether Helldivers have the luxury of time to unravel these mysteries.

Following the destruction of Moradesh, Arrowhead has issued a new Major Order, tasking players with defending planets to allow Super Earth to construct a Penrose Energy Siphon for a "one-time reduction" in Dark Energy Accumulation. This effort aims to halt the giant tear in space that threatens everything the Helldivers hold dear, and perhaps reveal more secret messages.

This is all 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.
