Helldivers 2's Latest Major Order Forces Tough Weapon Choice

Apr 26, 2024 2:20 PM

Helldivers 2 fans are faced with a strategic decision in the game's latest Major Order, where they must choose between two battlefronts and the corresponding weapons rewards. The current trend suggests that players are favoring the rocket launcher, as 54,000 participants have mobilized to liberate the planet Lesath, a strategic point for assaulting Penta to secure the RL-77 Airburst Rocket Launcher. While some remain optimistic about securing both weapons by also liberating Choohe to claim the MD-17 Anti-Tank Mines, the overall consensus leans towards the firepower of the rocket launcher. This Major Order highlights the game's emphasis on community-driven choices and the ongoing challenge of uniting players under a single battle strategy.

What is the current Major Order in Helldivers 2 and what rewards can players earn?

The current Major Order in Helldivers 2 tasks players with choosing between liberating either Choohe or Penta. Depending on the choice they make, they can earn either the MD-17 Anti-Tank Mines or the RL-77 Airburst Rocket Launcher as a reward.

Helldivers 2, developed by Arrowhead Game Studios, is a top-down shooter that emphasizes cooperative play and community decision-making. As a sequel to the original Helldivers, the game expands on the mechanics of planetary warfare, where players must work together to spread democracy across the galaxy. It has been well-received for its mix of action, strategy, and a unique take on player-driven missions that shape the game's world.
