Helldivers 2 Players Tasked with Stopping Meridian Wormhole from Destroying More Planets by Venturing Back into Mysterious Bug Fog

Recently, players of Helldivers 2 got a mission that, while not the massive update some were awaiting, promises high stakes in the Galactic War. If that pesky purple Meridian sphere’s relentless destruction of planets has you on edge, now’s the chance to take it down. This menacing force has already obliterated Moradesh, Angel’s Venture, and more recently Ivis. Some players are eager for a chance to put an end to its path towards Super Earth, especially as the ongoing death ball saga starts to feel repetitive to dedicated divers.

Meanwhile, the Helldivers recently tasted victory on Wezen. This triumph enabled them to construct an Exosuit Support Bay on their Democracy Space Station, slashing exosuit cooldowns by a commendable 35%. The current task involves astrophysicists on Fenrir III making strides toward the final phase of a plan to halt the Meridian Singularity. However, advancing in the realm of Dark Energy manipulation calls for large amounts of E-710 for experiments.

High Command has greenlit a second exploration into the Gloom, a previous mission that proved deadly but rewarding as a source of E-710. This excursion aims to stop the ominous Meridian Wormhole once and for all. Any surplus E-710 might even benefit mercantile interests, aiding in collective prosperity.

To free Planet Nivel 43, collect the E-710, and quash the destructive sphere, players must face the notorious “Gloom-specific terminid strains” lurking in the fog. These creatures are ready for another round with the divers.

The gaming community seems excited about this return to the Gloom. One enthusiastic post on the game’s subreddit triumphantly announces the new expedition, sparking a flurry of eager responses from players ready to squish some more terminids. With perhaps a bit of fatigue from battling automatons and illuminates, this expedition seems like a welcome change.
