Why Is Major Order Not Progressing in Helldivers 2?

It looks like something is not right with Major Orders. Read this article to find out why is Major Order not progressing in Helldivers 2.

There are two types of Orders in the game: Minor Orders and Major Orders. Completing them will net you some cool rewards, usually resources like Medals or Requisition. However, there seems to be an issue with Major Orders, as some players claim that the progress is bugged. Let’s see about that. Read on to see why the Major Order is not progressing in Helldivers 2.

Why Is Major Order Not Progressing in Helldivers 2?

Major Orders are not something that you, as a player, can personally compete on your own. Rather, they are community tasks, that all Helldivers around the globe contribute to. That may be why some players claim that the progression is bugged, as they cannot see any significant change after a mission. Your own contribution may be minuscule, but it is not insignificant. Keep on playing and completing missions and that will contribute to the Major Order and the Galactic War effort.

But, Major Orders may indeed be bugged. The “Major Order not progressing” bug has been circling the community lately, as more and more players report that the tracking of Major Orders is not working properly. While the developers are working on this issue, there are a couple of fixes and workarounds that you can try.

Ways to Fix Major Order Not Progressing Bug

The community has offered the following solutions to fix the “Major Order not progressing” issue.

  • Restart Helldivers 2 – Restating the game will refresh your connection to the global servers and that may fix this issue.
  • Play co-op missions – Playing cooperative missions has improved the tracking reliability for some players, so you can give that a go. 
  • Take some time before closing the game – Some players claim that closing the app before it had the chance to properly process the changes can disrupt the tracking. Do not force-close the game after a mission, give it a couple of seconds for all the updates and changes to apply.
  • Check for patches – Your Helldivers 2 version may not be up to date. Close the game, check if there are any updates, and try launching it again.

How to Claim the Major Orders Rewards

If the Major Order is completed, the reward will automatically be added to every Helldiver’s account. There is nothing that you must do to claim them, everything is automated. In the case that the rewards did not appear on your account, simply restart the game and that should fix it.
