Helldivers 2 teases the arrival of the Illuminate with a Black Hole
Players are going crazy with theories

Key Points from the Article

  • The mission to obliterate Meridia has proceeded as scheduled, using weaponized Dark Fluid to wipe out the Terminid supercolony, resulting in the planet's destruction and leaving behind a colossal purple void in space.
  • Players are reacting to the news with speculation and theories. Some suggest that the dark fluid may signal significant scientific progress or provoke aggression, while others believe it may have been intentionally sealed by the Illuminate to avert a worse disaster.
  • The prevailing theory is that the purple void is a wormhole, potentially transporting Meridia across the galaxy. If true, retaliation would be more than warranted from whatever lies on the other end of the wormhole.
Players are going crazy with theories

Players in Helldivers 2 are buzzing with speculation that the newly formed black hole might actually be a wormhole, with leaks hinting at the Illuminate's impending arrival.

Helldivers 2 previously released an update regarding an accident at a dark fluid research station that resulted in a miniature black hole. This significant event for Super Earth might be linked to rumors about us destroying an entire planet.Last month, leaker IronS1ghts shared a picture of a planet exploding along with a "Dark Fluid Containment Device," which is reportedly part of the "Dark Fluid Research Station" objective. 

Fans speculated that this device would be used in the Major Order to destroy Meridia, a Terminid planet. Given the news about destroying a Terminid supercolony, what better way than to detonate a self-collapsing black hole inside the planet?

Currently, the mission to obliterate Meridia has proceeded as scheduled, albeit with a few glitches. Utilizing the weaponized Dark Fluid, the Terminid supercolony on the planet was wiped out, resulting in the planet's destruction and leaving behind a colossal purple void in space, which Super Earth is dubbing a black hole.


How are the players reacting to this?

Fans are diving into speculation mode, tossing around theories left and right. One idea suggests that the dark fluid, derived from Illuminate tech, might signal significant scientific progress to them, possibly provoking their aggression.

Another group wonders if the black hole didn't just disappear but was intentionally sealed by the Illuminate, potentially averting a worse disaster.

Many players are entertaining some rather sinister thoughts, suggesting that the massive purple void in space may be concealing more than Super Earth is revealing. The prevailing theory is that it's not a black hole at all but rather a wormhole, primed to unleash some seriously irate Illuminate at any moment now.

If players are onto something and the purple abyss is indeed a wormhole, it implies that Meridia may not have been destroyed but rather transported across the galaxy. 

Whatever lies on the other end of this hypothetical wormhole—perhaps the supposedly extinct Illuminate—likely isn't thrilled about having a Terminid supercolony dropped on their doorstep. If this is the case, retaliation would be more than warranted.
