A shadow has been cast over the Helldivers 2 community. Despite the valiant efforts of Lady Liberty’s elite forces, players fell short in their mission to destroy 1 billion Automatons and 1.5 billion Terminids. This shortfall meant that the blockade around the Illuminate’s Meridian Singularity was left incomplete. Consequently, the black hole consumed enough Dark Energy to spiral into Moradesh, ultimately leading to the planet’s catastrophic demise.
There’s little time to dwell on the loss, as High Command has rallied the Helldivers with a new Major Order. Their mission now is to shield planets Achernar Secundus, Fenrir III, Ursica XI, and Heeth from an impending Terminid assault for the coming three and a half days. Meeting this challenge will provide Super Earth’s brightest minds the window to deploy a Penrose Energy Siphon in orbit, effectively mitigating the threat posed by the black hole’s growing Dark Energy.
In the midst of these preparations, many in the Helldivers community have stumbled upon what appear to be cryptic messages embedded in the in-game videos shared by Arrowhead Game Studios. These videos, intended to inform players about Moradesh’s fate, contain “Destruction Imminent” and “Signal Lost” alerts urging immediate evacuation. Discoveries made by the community are showcased below:
– Running the newest video through a spectrogram reveals what seems like the horizon of a planet.
– Another Reddit post highlights a new spectrogram message hidden within an evacuation alert.
– Further discussion on the subreddit peers into hidden messages in the Moradesh videos.
From insights gleaned by community investigations, using a spectrogram on these videos exposes hidden Morse code and enigmatic images, including a mysterious egg shape, an energy beam, and a warped planetary horizon view. Reddit user u/Possible_Monitor_215 brought attention to a clearer planetary image visible briefly in a paused “Signal Lost” video frame.
While dedicated codebreakers delve into translating this Morse code, conclusions remain elusive. A key theory suggests that the code “06EFBC” potentially signifies a color hexadecimal value that aligns with the planet Rogue 5’s location on the Helldivers 2’s Galactic War map. This has sparked speculation that the Illuminate faction might be eyeing Rogue 5 as a strategic stronghold, especially given its “wet planet” features and “deep oceans,” ideal for their squid-like alien species. Notably, Rogue 5 repelled an Illuminate incursion during a recent Automaton-focused Major Order.
Many also speculate that the planetary images from the spectrogram and the “Signal Lost” frame belong to Rogue 5, citing its distinct light blue and slightly purple hue. Alternatively, some theorize it could be Squ’bai Shrine, the Illuminate’s home world from the First Galactic War, as it shares similar characteristics and is presently missing from Helldivers 2.
Ultimately, the true intentions behind these secrets remain murky. Some anticipate an ambitious attempt by the Illuminate to bring Squ’bai Shrine through the Meridian Singularity to launch a vast attack on Super Earth. Others suspect Rogue 5 might serve as a future assault base. Regardless, whatever the Illuminate is plotting seems anything but benign.
For now, Helldivers are tasked with staunchly defending the four target planets from the Terminid threat to strategically slow the Meridian black hole. Failure could mean Ivis — the next in the Singularity’s destructive path towards Super Earth — faces a grim fate. So, arm yourself with your finest anti-bug arsenal and head to the frontlines, Helldivers.
