After over a week of concentrated efforts to build and acquire enough Element-710 fuel for the Penrose Energy Siphon, the Helldivers have finally managed to deploy the tool into the heart of the Meridian Singularity that the Illuminate has been slowly but surely moving towards Super Earth. As predicted, the Siphon has absorbed a significant amount of the Dark Energy being used to propel the black hole — and now, Helldivers 2 players have an opportunity to stop it for good.
While the Singularity was originally projected to stop somewhere past Super Earth, the effects of the Penrose Energy Siphon have now made it possible to bring it to a halt before it destroys Super Earth or any more of its colony worlds. To do this, players have to initiate "a sustained and intense suppression of Illuminate Dark Energy accumulation" by thwarting six Illuminate invasions in the next three days.
