Helldivers 2 Community Searches for Clues in Black Hole Crisis

Easter eggs and secret messages have become a staple in many ongoing games, and *Helldivers 2* is no exception. Amid the ongoing, calamitous conflict with the Illuminate, players are meticulously examining messages for hidden details. If you're not caught up with the narrative in *Helldivers 2*, here's a quick recap: developer Arrowhead has reintroduced the Illuminate, pushing the boundaries of galactic warfare as the latest threat to Super Earth. This eerie foe is utilizing a massive black hole to slowly consume entire planets, moving from Angel's Venture to now, Moradesh.

Ironically, the black hole was initially created by Super Earth on Meridian in an attempt to eradicate a Terminid Super Colony. Arrowhead's knack for evolving the outcomes of galactic campaigns is evident in the slow build-up to the current situation, where the Illuminate is pushing a black hole toward Super Earth.

As Moradesh evacuates, Helldivers eagerly anticipate the next phase of this cataclysmic campaign. However, some are delving deeper into the evacuation orders, searching for hidden meanings in Arrowhead's broadcasts. Reddit user Pinglyadya shared an image of what appears to be an egg hidden in the Moradesh videos. They further analyzed potential Morse code strings, converting them into dots and dashes, and deduced several codes: "045a5, 06efbc, e1b5f0 then 21232." While the purpose of these codes remains unknown, they've sparked curiosity among players.

The "06EFBC" code has garnered particular attention, as it corresponds to the hex code for a shade of teal named Last Straw, hinting at ominous possibilities. While no concrete discoveries have emerged beyond this, many fans remain convinced that there are hidden messages to uncover.

This isn't the first time players have searched for secrets in Arrowhead's updates. With the Meridian Singularity slowly approaching Super Earth, it raises the question of whether Helldivers have time for such pursuits. Since the destruction of Moradesh, Arrowhead has issued a new Major Order, tasking players with defending planets to enable Super Earth to construct a Penrose Energy Siphon for a "one-time reduction" in Dark Energy Accumulation.

This effort could potentially halt the giant tear in space that threatens everything the Helldivers hold dear, and perhaps even introduce more secret messages to the community.

This narrative is part of *Helldivers 2*'s ongoing, community-driven Galactic War, which has captivated the game's community for over a year. The Illuminate's invasion began in December, introducing new enemies and new Super Earth colonies with urban environments featuring city streets filled with mind-controlled civilians known as the Voteless. These unfortunate souls, controlled by the Illuminate, are essentially zombies intent on dismembering players.
