Helldivers 2 Players Tasked with Preventing Meridian Wormhole Destruction by Venturing Back into the Eerie Bug Fog

Helldivers 2 enthusiasts might not have received the significant update they were hoping for this week, yet the latest mission promises some high-stakes action in the Galactic War. If you’re tired of the relentless purple Meridian death ball wreaking havoc on planets, here’s your shot at halting its relentless destruction.

This menacing force has already ravaged three worlds—Moradesh, Angel’s Venture, and most recently Ivis. The players are left either grieving these losses or feeling somewhat indifferent as the whole death ball arc tests the patience of seasoned players. Now, it’s time to prevent it from advancing further towards Super Earth.

Fresh orders are rolling in after a victory on Wezen. This triumph enabled players to construct an Exosuit Support Bay on their Democracy Space Station, cutting down exosuit stratagem cooldowns by a helpful 35%.

“Astrophysicists from the Center of Science on Fenrir III are nearing the completion of the final phase needed to halt the Meridian Singularity,” one announcement detailed. “To dive deeper into Dark Energy manipulation, substantial amounts of E-710 are necessary for experiments.”

High Command has greenlit a second, limited excursion into the Gloom. This mission is crucial to advancing our tech enough to put a stop to the Meridian Wormhole. If they gather excess E-710, it could potentially support mercantile interests for the greater good.

To save the planet Nivel 43, collect this E-710, and curb the death ball’s rampage, the divers must face familiar adversaries in the form of “Gloom-specific terminid strains.” Get ready to tackle those formidable bugs!

The community is buzzing with anticipation. “THERE’S ANOTHER GLOOM EXPEDITION!” proclaims one excited post on the game’s subreddit, with a lively thread of users eager to take on the challenge. They’re probably relieved to have a break from battling automatons and illuminated forces, but the enthusiasm is infectious.
