So, it’s lastly come to this. Helldivers 2 gamers have been given a brand new order: Destroy Meridia. And I don’t imply wiping out its quickly reproducing Terminid presence. Helldivers 2 should use Darkish Matter to fully destroy the planet, turning it into area mud.

With the completion of the primary part of Operation “Enduring Peace,” Helldivers now should pump the unstable goo into Meridia’s floor. As soon as the divers attain “vital mass,” the planet will implode right into a black gap, taking the super-horny Terminids in its wake. I assume nuking issues from orbit simply isn’t cool sufficient for at present’s fashionable children.

Helldivers 2 gamers set off to kick a complete planet’s ass

That is simply probably the most important occasion within the quick historical past of Helldivers 2. Not even the non permanent elimination of the Automaton faction, nor the candy liberation of Malevelon Creek, can evaluate to Samus Aran-ing a planet fully off the galaxy map. If divers are profitable, Meridia will now not be a playable space. And there will likely be no take-backsies.

“The destruction of a complete planet is an irreversible motion — one that every one Tremendous Earth residents know is a horrible tragedy,” reads the mission temporary. “However the tyrannical actions of the Terminids have left us no various.”

It might be a bit undemocratic of me, but it surely needs to be famous that Meridia’s destiny could have been avoidable if Tremendous Earth didn’t, you already know, really create this mess. Termicide, a chemical the best minds of SE assured was protected, is what prompted Meridia to turn into a Terminid breeding floor. It’s as much as Helldivers to repair the issue once more, however this time for good. Possibly.

The operation depends on gamers to finish a brand new mission kind: ‘Deploy Darkish Fluid’. From what I’ve gathered, you could name down a ‘Darkish Fluid Vessel’ which pumps the stuff into the planet’s crust. All of the whereas, you’re attacked on all sides by indignant Terminid. It would not be going so effectively. However no less than the Darkish Matter packs you may equip perform as a higher Leap Pack.

What’s most fascinating is that Darkish Matter isn’t merely going to show Meridia into a nasty reminiscence; the planet will “collapse right into a black gap.” Latest theories have talked about that the second coming of the Illuminates is tied into this. Will the high-tech Illuminate faction use the black gap as a gateway to return to our galaxy? All I do know is that issues have been going swimmingly up to now — ignoring all of the Terminid and heaps of useless scientists.
