It’s Official: Helldivers 2 Players Watch as Meridia’s Black Hole Engulfs a Planet, Leading to Arrowhead’s Declaration of a Super Mourning Period

Oh no, it finally happened. The dreaded Meridia black hole in Helldivers 2 has obliterated Angel’s Venture. After lurking towards the planet for some time, that inevitable destruction has now come to pass, and Arrowhead, in a somber announcement, declared a period of mourning for all the souls lost in this cosmic calamity.

The fate of Angel’s Venture seemed inevitable for a while now. Evacuation protocols had been sounded, yet the ominous purple void, drifting ever closer to Super Earth, has erased the planet in a grand display of celestial power.

“We regret to inform you that Angel’s Venture has succumbed to the Meridian Singularity,” Arrowhead conveyed in a tweet, accompanied by a news clip for those who didn’t witness the catastrophe firsthand. Their message pointedly accused the Illuminate, calling out their facade of intelligence and civility, and unveiling their true craving for chaos. They further noted that the President of Super Earth has declared a 24-hour period of mourning across the Galaxy.

For helldivers, it’s a bitter day despite the visual spectacle. Truly a tragedy. A user on Reddit, who goes by the name ‘DickBallsley,’ had initially vowed to protect Angel’s Venture against all odds with the confident assertion, “Y’all acting as if I would let that happen.” However, in a recent post, they’ve admitted, “I’m sorry everyone, I might have overdone it.” They’ve conceded their mistake, humorously adding, “Next time I’ll read what it says on the packet, this one’s on me.”

In response, other players amusingly replied with the classic Obi-Wan Kenobi GIF, indicating their disappointment with a touch of humor: “You were the chosen one.”

But as we grieve this loss, the fight isn’t over. The Meridian Singularity is now on a collision course straight for Super Earth, with several planets in its path that it could potentially devour. The next move, quite predictably, involves strategies to thwart further Illuminate incursions in hopes of stalling the singularity’s advance. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that our renewed efforts prove more successful than this initial round.
