Easter eggs and secret messages are previous hat for a lot of ongoing video games, and Helldivers 2 isn’t any stranger to them both. So it is little shock that amid an ongoing, calamitous battle with the Illuminate, gamers are poring over the messages for hidden particulars.
For those who’re not caught up with the operating narrative in Helldivers 2, here is a fast catch-up: developer Arrowhead has the Illuminate again and pushing the traces of galactic warfare as the most recent risk to Tremendous Earth. The eerie foe is utilizing a large black gap to slowly devour total planets, pushing it to Angel’s Venture and, now, Moradesh.
Paradoxically, the black gap was initially created on Meridian by Tremendous Earth, in an effort to wipe out a Terminid Tremendous Colony. Arrowhead’s acquired a specific penchant for “sure, and”-ing the outcomes of the galactic campaigns. The sluggish construct to proper now, with the Illuminate just about pushing a black gap slowly in direction of Tremendous Earth, is the most recent in a protracted line of dominoes.

So, now we’re right here: Moradesh is evacuating, and Helldivers are anticipating the following step of this cataclysmic marketing campaign. But some are digging into the evacuation orders, attempting to suss out a hidden which means from the messages Arrowhead is broadcasting.
Reddit person Pinglyadya shared a picture of what appears to be like like an egg, hidden within the Moradesh movies. Within the (*2*), they go additional, breaking down the potential morse code strings into dots and dashes, surmising that all of it ends in a couple of totally different codes: “045a5, 06efbc, e1b5f0 then 21232. We do not know what that is the code to however have enjoyable.”
The “06EFBC” code caught consideration in another thread, because it may correspond with the hex code for a shade of teal known as Final Straw. Sounds ominous! Nothing concrete has surfaced past that, however no less than a couple of followers are satisfied there’s one thing hidden in these messages.
It would not be the primary time gamers have gone diving for secrets and techniques in Arrowhead’s updates. With the Meridian Singularity slowly approaching Tremendous Earth, although, I do ponder whether Helldivers have time to spare for this.
Arrowhead has, because the destruction of Moradesh, issued a brand new Main Order for gamers, tasking them with defending planets so Tremendous Earth can assemble a Penrose Power Siphon and impact a “one-time discount” in Darkish Power Accumulation.

Hopefully, this will put a cease to the large tear in house that is slowly encroaching on every little thing the Helldivers maintain pricey. And, probably, put a couple of extra secret messages out into the ether.
That is all a part of Helldivers 2’s ongoing, group pushed Galactic Warfare, which has captured the eye of the sport’s group for over a yr now. The Illuminate invaded in December with an preliminary alien pressure that added new enemies to struggle towards in addition to model new Tremendous Earth colonies to struggle on. These colonies launched Helldivers 2’s first city environments, with metropolis streets filled with harmless civilians mind-controlled by the Illuminate. The Voteless, as they’re known as by Tremendous Earth, are little greater than zombies who need nothing greater than to group gamers limb from limb.
