Helldivers 2 Players Experience Historic Pac-Manning of Entire Planet by Meridia’s Black Hole, Arrowhead Announces Super Mourning Period

Oh no, it looks like Helldivers 2’s ominous Meridia black hole has finally swallowed up the planet it had been inching towards—Angel’s Venture is no more. Arrowhead Studios has understandably declared a period of mourning for the unfortunate inhabitants of the now-exploded planet.

For a while, it seemed inevitable that Angel’s Venture wouldn’t escape its fate. Evacuation orders had been issued as the massive, swirling purple abyss began moving steadily along its path towards Super Earth, ultimately obliterating Angel’s Venture in a dazzling cosmic spectacle.

Arrowhead broke the news through a tweet, sharing a video of the disaster for those who couldn’t witness it themselves. “Angel’s Venture has been torn apart by the Meridian Singularity,” they stated somberly. The Illuminate, often seen as the bastion of intelligence and elegance, have shown their true colors in this chaotic pursuit. In response, the President of Super Earth has declared a 24-hour period of Galaxy-wide mourning.

It’s a heart-wrenching moment for helldivers, even though the cosmic visuals were undeniably impressive. Still, the reality is harsh—a genuine catastrophe, as acknowledged on Reddit by a user named ‘DickBallsley.’ This individual had been somewhat of a folk hero—many had pinned hopes on them to save Angel’s Venture singlehandedly. “Y’all acting as if I would let that happen,” they had posted confidently just a day before.

Now, they’ve expressed regret, admitting, “I’m sorry everyone, I might have overdone it.” They conceded, “Going all out was not the best idea. Next time I’ll read what it says on the packet, this one’s on me.” Naturally, the helldiver community was quick to respond, playfully sharing Obi-Wan Kenobi’s “You were the chosen one” GIF.

As the community grieves, the real fight is revving up. The Meridian Singularity is now barreling directly towards Super Earth, with several more planets along its ravenous route. The next mission will likely focus on halting its advance by fending off continued Illuminate aggression. Hopes are high that this new attempt proves more successful than the last.
