It’s Official: Helldivers 2 Players Experience an Entire Planet Being Consumed by Meridia’s Black Hole, Leading to Arrowhead’s Super Mourning Announcement

Oh no, Helldivers 2’s Meridia black hole has finally claimed its first victim: Angel’s Venture, the ill-fated planet that’s been on its radar. The catastrophic end to this celestial body was as explosive as expected, leaving Arrowhead no choice but to announce a period of mourning for its unfortunate inhabitants.

The writing had been on the wall for Angel’s Venture. With evacuation orders issued, residents were well aware of the impending doom. In a spectacular, albeit tragic, turn of events, the massive purple singularity moving towards Super Earth obliterated the planet, wiping it off the cosmos.

“The Meridian Singularity has torn Angel’s Venture apart,” Arrowhead shared in a tweet, accompanied by a somber news broadcast for those who weren’t present to witness the disaster. The tweet continued, “The Illuminate, under the guise of intellect and refinement, have shown their true colors: they crave chaos.” In response, the President of Super Earth has declared a galaxy-wide mourning period lasting 24 hours.

For the fans of Helldivers, it’s a somber time, even if they got to see something visually striking. It’s undeniably tragic. Reddit user ‘DickBallsley’, who had confidently vowed to save Angel’s Venture with a post saying, “Y’all acting as if I would let that happen,” has since admitted defeat. In a follow-up post, they wrote: “I’m sorry everyone, I might have overdone it,” humorously acknowledging their mistake. “Going all out wasn’t the best idea,” they concluded, “Next time I’ll read what it says on the packet, this one’s on me.” Naturally, fellow players were quick to respond with the classic Obi-Wan Kenobi ‘You were the chosen one’ GIF, capturing the mood perfectly.

While we collectively mourn, the fight is far from over. The Meridian Singularity is now headed straight for Super Earth, with several planets in its potential path. Our next move undoubtedly involves strategizing to slow its advance while fending off further attacks from the Illuminate. Let’s hope the second attempt fares better than the first.
