Helldivers 2 Players Face the Challenge of Stopping the Meridian Wormhole by Venturing into the Creepy Bug Fog

Players of Helldivers 2 might not have received that significant update they were eagerly anticipating, but their upcoming mission promises to be just as thrilling with some serious Galactic War implications. If you’re tired of seeing that pesky purple Meridian death ball wrecking planets, your opportunity to halt its path has arrived.

So far, it’s gobbled up three planets: Moradesh, Angel’s Venture, and, most recently, Ivis. This has left some players either bummed out or, quite frankly, indifferent, as the relentless death ball saga has started to lose its novelty for some of the game’s veterans. The time has come to put a stop to its trajectory toward Super Earth.

Check out this recent development. Following a win on Wezen that allowed the crew to construct an Exosuit Support Bay at their Democracy Space Station, players now benefit from a convenient 35% reduction in exosuit stratagem cooldowns.

According to the latest intel from the Center of Science astrophysicists stationed on Fenrir III, they’re close to kicking off the third and final phase of the plan to neutralize the Meridian Singularity. However, delving further into the complex realm of Dark Energy manipulation necessitates a vast amount of E-710 for experimentation.

Twitter is buzzing with updates from High Command about a second carefully planned mission into the Gloom, with the goal of advancing their technology and finally putting an end to the Meridian Wormhole. Players are advised to consult their Galactic Map for more details.

The Gloom, though perilous, has proven to be a valuable source of E-710 in previous scientific expeditions. High Command has greenlit another expedition to make technological strides against the Meridian Wormhole. If there happens to be surplus E-710, it might be sold to merchant entities for the greater good.

Before you can start celebrating the liberation of planet Nivel 43, secure that vital E-710, and stop the death ball; you’ll again face those pesky “Gloom-specific terminid strains” lurking in the fog. Brace yourself for battle against these formidable bugs.

The excitement is palpable among players eager to return to the enigmatic fog. Over on the game’s subreddit, one enthusiastic post announced, “THERE’S ANOTHER GLOOM EXPEDITION,” setting off a cascade of excitement as players express their eagerness to flatten and crush more terminids. The consensus seems to be a welcome break from the routine automaton and illuminate-battling, but the enthusiasm is infectious.
