Helldivers 2 Players Tasked with Preventing Meridian Wormhole Catastrophe, Must Brave the Haunted Bug Fog Again

Helldivers 2 players may not have received the major update they were hoping for this week, but at least the upcoming mission is cranking up the heat with some high-stakes Galactic War action. If you’re tired of the ominous Meridian death ball wreaking havoc on planets, here’s your shot to put an end to it.

So far, three planets—Moradesh, Angel’s Venture, and recently Ivis—have fallen victim to its destructive path, leaving players either mourning the loss or, in some cases, hardly noticing because the storyline has begun to tire some of the hardcore gamers. It’s about time this menace is stopped in its tracks before it reaches Super Earth.

Thanks to a recent triumph on Wezen, players have managed to establish an Exosuit Support Bay on the Democracy Space Station. This new addition slashes exosuit stratagem cooldowns by a handy 35% for everyone involved.

The Center of Science astrophysicists on Fenrir III are on the cusp of launching the final phase of their grand plan to thwart the Meridian Singularity, but there’s a catch. To delve further into the mysterious world of Dark Energy manipulation, they need vast amounts of E-710 to experiment with.

High Command is giving the green light for a second limited mission into the Gloom, aiming to advance technology sufficiently to finally halt the Meridian Wormhole. Players are encouraged to consult their Galactic Map for more details on this mission.

The first scientific expedition into the Gloom was risky but lucrative in terms of E-710. Now, there’s another chance to venture back, not only to secure technology progression but potentially to support broader economic prosperity by making excess E-710 available for trade.

To free the planet Nivel 43 and seize the necessary E-710 to stop the death ball, players must once again confront the formidable “Gloom-specific terminid strains” from their last encounter. Let the battle with these formidable bugs begin.

There’s quite a buzz in the community about returning to the fog. One user was thrilled to announce, “THERE’S ANOTHER GLOOM EXPEDITION,” sparking a whole thread of excitement from others ready to take on more terminids. It seems they’re eager for a break from battling automaton and illuminate adversaries, which they’ve been doing a lot lately, and the renewed enthusiasm is palpable.
