It has been simple to overlook that Helldivers 2 has nonetheless had an Illuminate invasion occurring over the previous couple of days, as everybody’s been distracted by the pricing backlash in opposition to the sport’s Killzone crossover gear. However, the aliens are nonetheless doing their factor in-game, and the following step of their warpath might delay yopu getting your palms on a brand new trip.
Keep in mind the Omens of Tyranny replace’s announcement mentioning Helldivers 2’s first driveable automobile, the Quick Reconnaissance Automobile or FRV? Nicely, the baddies have it of their crosshairs, and gamers reckon they’re aiming at one thing else too.
“The AM Protection Manufacturing facility Hub on Achernar Secundus has come beneath assault by the Illuminate, threatening manufacturing of the Quick Reconnaissance Automobile (FRV),” this newest Main Order from Arrowhead reads, “If the Illuminate should not repelled, distribution of the FRV can be severely delayed. Importantly, many colonists may also be killed or kidnapped.”
So, naturally, the oldsters on the Helldivers 2 subreddit and within the sport itself have been like ‘oop, higher get my bum over to Achernar Secundus’, solely to have a look at their maps and realise one thing. This new order’s primary battleground planet is not removed from Meridia, which long-time Helldivers will bear in mind because the planet that bought spaghettified right into a purple black gap all the best way again in June.
Now, in a enjoyable coincidence, gamers have seen that the black gap’s apparance has not too long ago been revamped alongside the deployment of that Killzone crossover, taking up a darker hue and gaining some additional floaty bits round it. Naturally the conclusion being reached is that the Illuminate will make a transfer for Meridia quickly, perhaps to do one thing like pull some contemporary reinforcements by means of this gap.
Given a number of of us have spent the vast majority of this 12 months because the gap grew to become a factor believing that it might properly be the place the Illuminate would enter the sport from, it would not appear to be too large a leap in logic, however Arrowhead itself’s not satisfied but.
A not too long ago launched in-game alert from the studio points of us with the next edict: “Some helldivers could have seen novel electromagnetic phenomena within the neighborhood of the Meridian Black Gap. Excessive Command is conscious of the scenario, which is being intently monitored by specialists within the discipline.
“Helldivers are suggested to keep away from distractions and focus their full consideration on replling the Illuminate risk.”So, there you go. No pondering, depart that to the specialists. I am positive all the things with Meridia can be simply nice.
At leasdt if something does occur with the again gap quickly, you may have some gear from Helldivers 2’s Killzone crossover available as you dive into the fray, after Arrowhead responded to the pricing controversy by gifting everybody the second half of it at no cost.
