Helldivers 2 Players Tasked with Preventing Meridian Wormhole Explosion, Must Return to Eerie Bug Fog

If you’re diving into Helldivers 2 this week expecting a massive update, you might be a bit disappointed. But at least there’s a fresh mission ready to add some serious stakes to the Galactic War. Tired of Meridian’s purple death ball wreaking havoc across the cosmos? Now’s your chance to put a stop to it once and for all.

Let’s face it, that ominous sphere has swallowed three planets already—Moradesh, Angel’s Venture, and the latest, Ivis. Players are either shaking their heads in frustration or shrugging it off because, frankly, the death ball narrative is starting to feel a bit played out for the more seasoned divers. Isn’t it about time we turned our attention back to saving Super Earth?

This new directive follows a significant win on Wezen, which empowered divers to construct an Exosuit Support Bay on the Democracy Space Station. Thanks to this addition, everyone’s exosuit cooldowns are reduced by a handy 35%.

Here’s the scoop from the Center of Science astrophysicists on Fenrir III—they’re inches away from launching the crucial third and final phase to halt the Meridian Singularity, but they’ve hit a snag. They need a substantial amount of E-710 to dive deeper into Dark Energy manipulation.

According to the latest orders, High Command has sanctioned a second cautious expedition into the Gloom. The objective? Advance our technological prowess to finally seal the Meridian Wormhole. And if there’s extra E-710 lying around, it might even boost mercantile pursuits, benefiting everyone.

Ready to free Nivel 43 and bag that E-710? You’ll have to combat the very same Gloom-specific terminid strains you encountered during your last venture into the mysterious mist. It’s time to gear up and show those big, nasty bugs who’s boss.

The buzz among players is all about diving back into the Gloom. “THERES ANOTHER GLOOM EXPEDITION,” one Reddit user exclaimed, sparking a happy thread of folks eager to flatten and crush some more terminids. It seems like they’re getting a bit weary of the automaton and illuminate battles, but hey, a little enthusiasm never hurt anyone.

So, are you gearing up for a trip into the Gloom this weekend to tackle that wormhole? Share your battle plans below!
