Helldivers 2 Players Tasked with Preventing Meridian Wormhole Explosions by Braving the Creepy Bug Fog Again

Players jumping into Helldivers 2 may not have received the massive update they were eagerly anticipating recently, but their latest mission promises some intense stakes in the ongoing Galactic War. If you’re fed up with the relentless purple Meridian death ball wreaking havoc across planets, now’s your chance to put an end to it.

So far, the death ball has devoured Moradesh, Angel’s Venture, and, most recently, Ivis. It’s left participants either lamenting the loss of these worlds or, in some cases, not really caring much, as the relentless storyline is starting to wear on even the most devoted players. It’s about time we stopped it in its tracks before it gets anywhere near Super Earth.

This new mission follows a recent triumph on Wezen, where players built an Exosuit Support Bay on their Democracy Space Station, reducing exosuit stratagem cooldowns by 35%—a handy improvement for everyone involved.

According to an internal report, researchers at the Center of Science on Fenrir III are close to launching the final phase to thwart the Meridian Singularity. However, advancing within the intricate field of Dark Energy manipulation demands substantial quantities of E-710 for experimentation.

High Command has given the green light for another limited expedition into the Gloom, aiming to develop our technology enough to crush the Meridian Wormhole. Any surplus E-710 could potentially support commercial interests, promoting broader prosperity.

To free the Nivel 43 planet, gather this vital E-710, and confront the death ball, players will again face the formidable “Gloom-specific terminid strains” encountered during their previous foray. Get ready for some intense action against those menacing bugs.

The community seems thrilled at the prospect of diving back into the Gloom. One post on the game’s subreddit excitedly exclaims, “THERE’S ANOTHER GLOOM EXPEDITION,” and it’s sparked a lively discussion, with players buzzing about the opportunity to take on more terminids. It looks like some players are keen for a break from facing automatons and illuminates, but the enthusiasm is evident.

Are you gearing up to tackle the Gloom this weekend and put an end to that wormhole? Share your plans with us in the comments!
