Ok, so Helldivers 2 got a fresh Major Order yesterday, and it looks like it could well kick off the chain of events that leads to the Illuminate finally showing up in game, following plenty of speculation. Or, at least that’s what a lot of players think could happen if they manage to let Super Earth’s scientists unleash some Dark Fluid on Meridia.
Yeah, it would seem that, following the arrival of the dual-autocannon EXO-49 Emancipator exosuit as a reward for the game’s community successfully completing its previous mission directive from Arrowhead, things aren’t about to get any less exciting any time soon. Even if none of the interesting stratagem pitches former CEO Johan Pilestedt was soliciting the other day happen to become a reality in the next little bit.
So, what is this latest Major Order? Well, it’s about securing three planets – Fenrir 3, Angel’s Venture, and Turing – clearing a path so that Super Earth scientists can target the Terminind supercolony on Meridia with some weaponised “Dark Fluid”. So far, so quite normal, though as the tweet from Arrowhead that accompanied the order’s arrival revealed, this fluid is, er, a bit dangerous, having already caused some scientists to be “spaghettified” by a mini-black hole.
