Our celebrations in the aftermath of the latest major order victory in Helldivers 2 may be short-lived. Following our successful injection of Dark Fluid into the planet’s core, Meridia has since been obliterated and turned into a black hole…or so we thought. Some players claim that Meridia’s destruction “cannot produce a black hole that big.” Instead, what we’re looking at could be a wormhole — an intergalactic pathway perfect for The Illuminate to wreak even more havoc on the Galactic War.
Over on Reddit, u/Khoakuma also noted that “Meridia should have shrank into nothingness.” A planet’s destruction should not leave a massive black hole in its place. But since Terminids produce E-710 (Warp Drive fuel), the sheer number of bugs from the supercolony on Meridia, mixed with the Dark Fluid we injected into the planet, could be the cause of the singularity we’re seeing now. So it may be through our folly that another extraterrestrial species is on its way to terrorize Super Earth and its neighboring planets.
Of course, this is still mere speculation since the developers have yet to reveal what the singularity actually is. For all we know, it could just be a temporary phenomenon left behind by tons of Dark Fluid being expelled from Meridia’s core. That said, we likely won’t have to wait long for another major briefing since Helldivers 2 community manager Twinbeard already confirmed that Galactic War map changes are on the way. Plus, AGS has been teasing The Illuminate in the past few months, so these powerful beings should arrive sooner rather than later.
But while you wait for all these changes to arrive, check out our guides on the best Helldivers 2 loadouts and the best weapons in Helldivers 2 to give you an edge in the never-ending fight for Managed Democracy.
