It has awesome gameplay mechanics and polished visuals, and its developers are just a dream come true for everyone involved. They have been working tirelessly to make sure this game remains a pleasant experience for every player involved. Another reason is this game’s ever-evolving lore, which keeps players on their toes at all times. Now, after a very crucial mission, some very shocking details have come around regarding Helldivers 2’s super earth!

Is Super Earth in Helldivers 2 more dangerous than anyone expected?

Ever since the game started, players have been fighting tirelessly for Super Earth. They killed robots; they destroyed massive insects. And they are also ready to face any other challenge that comes their way in the future. Everything is because they want the Super Earth to prosper.

But recently, a theory has suggested that Super Earth might not be as good as one had thought. Players all over the world are fighting for a system—a system that suggests it would keep them all safe. A system that people trust, but that system has a very dark side.

Every seasoned player knows that on Super Earth targeted advertising is a thing, just like on normal earth. There are a bunch of funny advertisements that players see throughout their playtime. But one of them has caught the eye of some gamers.

This one is pretty bleak and something no gamer had expected. This ad says, “Too old to be productive? Consider volunteering for an early trip to the bio-repurposer vats.” This is weird and creepy at the same time.

One cannot help but wonder what this ad means by bio-repurposing. Are they recycling human beings into something? Is the rumor correct that maybe Super Earth is creating cyborgs out of people? Then maybe they are the reason automatons ever became a thing too.

If not cyborgs, then what else could this be? Are those old people somehow being repurposed into an army of Helldivers using some twisted science? No one knows for sure, but this ad is definitely creeping everyone out there.

Fans who play must know that Helldivers 2 does not have a particular narrative, but it does a lot of things through environmental storytelling. These ads are one of the ways players get the feel of the world they are fighting for. Through those ads, players also get the feel of this game’s satirical tone.

Maybe this bio-repurposer is also one of those things? Maybe Helldivers 2 players are currently being horrified out of reason, and maybe this is exactly the purpose this ad serves: to scare players. Let’s see if the developers ever bring out more details about this thing.

Are they being turned into food?

Players all over the internet are now wondering the true meaning of this bio-repurposing, but some have already placed their bets. They are suggesting that maybe Super Earth is turning the oldies of that world into food.

This was suggested by a bunch of players discussing this topic on Reddit. Whatever this might end up being, one thing is for sure, Arrowhead Game Studios has once again given players something to talk about.
