Helldivers 2: Players Tasked with Preventing Meridian Wormhole Catastrophe by Venturing into the Eerie Bug Fog

Helldivers 2 fans might not have received the massive update they were eagerly awaiting this week, but there’s a new mission on the horizon that promises some high stakes in the ongoing Galactic War. If you’re fed up with the destructive purple Meridian death ball that’s been obliterating planets, here’s your chance to put an end to it.

So far, it’s devoured three worlds—Moradesh, Angel’s Venture, and recently, Ivis—leaving the community divided. Some players are mourning the losses, while others are just worn out by the persistent death ball saga. Clearly, the time has come to halt its advance towards Super Earth.

The good news is that the latest major order follows a significant victory on Wezen, where the Helldivers managed to construct an Exosuit Support Bay on their Democracy Space Station. This development has conveniently cut down exosuit stratagem cooldowns by 35% for everyone.

According to the mission details, “Center of Science astrophysicists on Fenrir III are on the verge of kick-starting the third and final phase of our plan to stop the Meridian Singularity. However, pushing into the complex arena of Dark Energy manipulation means we need a substantial amount of E-710 for experimentation.”

The High Command has given the green light for a second controlled expedition into the Gloom, aiming to advance our technology enough to finally close the Meridian Wormhole. During our first expedition, the Gloom was a treacherous yet fruitful source of E-710. Any surplus E-710 might be available to those in trade, supporting the broader community prosperity.

To liberate the planet Nivel 43, secure this E-710, and neutralize the death ball, players will need to face off against the same deadly “Gloom-specific terminid strains” encountered in the previous venture. It’s time to gear up to tackle these formidable creatures once more.

There’s a buzz of excitement among players ready to dive back into the fog. One excited post on the game’s subreddit exclaimed about the return to the Gloom, sparking a thread of enthusiastic responses. It seems many are eager to take a break from fighting automatons and illuminates and are looking forward to some bug squashing action instead.
