The latest Helldivers 2 Major Order could drastically change the current Helldivers 2 narrative as players have been ordered to completely wipe out the Terminid Supercolony on the Meridia planet by destroying it via implosion. This is only possible with the help of Dark Fluid, a substance that Super Earth gathered from the Illuminate faction during the First Galactic War.
There are many theories that predict what happens after players destroy Meridia, but there is one that players have found extremely interesting. This theory suggests that the Illuminate are the self-proclaimed peacekeepers of the galaxy and they will declare war against Super Earth since it has taken the decision to completely erase a race, which is Terminids in this case.
A Helldivers 2 theory suggests that the Illuminate will take revenge for what Super Earth is doing to the Terminid faction
Helldivers 2 players have been eagerly waiting for the introduction of the game’s third faction, the Illuminate. Many believe that it may be finally happening as the current Major Order has ordered players to completely destroy a planet. This big step would destroy the Terminid Supercolony on the planet, but as per a popular theory, Super Earth will soon suffer because of this poor decision.
This theory claims that the Illuminate believe that they are the peacekeepers of the galaxy and since Super Earth would completely erase a race after destroying Meridia, they will fight Super Earth. The latest Major Order has confirmed that Super Earth has exploited the Illuminate in the past, so it makes sense why the Illuminate would want to declare war against them.
Is Super Earth brainwashing the citizens into believing that they are the good guys?
There are many hints that Super Earth could have been the evil one all this time. There is speculation that Super Earth only uses the bugs and the bots to get resources. In the case of Automatons, it is believed that the Super Earth waits for the bots to utilize raw materials on planets to create pure metals, and then they send in Helldivers to extract it from them. As for the Terminid faction, the game has made it clear that they are a source for E-710.
There is a possibility that Super Earth has been lying to the players all this time and the Illuminate will finally step up to put an end to this. As for the latest Major Order, players should remember that using explosive Stratagems against these bugs will make things worse, so it is better to stick to using firearms that inflict electrical damage.
