The players were given a new challenge after valiantly squishing a billion bugs and completing the previous Major Order. The Galactic War update came with an important twist on the current Major Order and the Helldivers 2 community is unsure whether they’ll get through it.
The Galactic War Update Gives a Twist to the Major Order
One of the Helldivers 2 Community Managers posted an update on the Galactic War. It stated: “The Helldivers are ordered to reclaim more ground from the Automatons. However, the enemy has deployed Orbital Cannons across their territories. The Orbital Cannons are targeting SEAF air forces, extending the extraction times”.
This announcement comes hand in hand with the latest Major Order which demands the players to liberate 5 planets. The planets in question are Wasat, Wezen, Ustotu, Vega Bay, and Varylia 5. With the extended extraction time this might prove to be a real challenge for the players.
As of the time of writing this article, more than a day and a half into the MO, none of the planets have been liberated. Unfortunately, the players haven’t united and they are all over the map, so none of their strategies are working.
Helldivers 2 Players Come Up With Tactics on How to Deal With This Major Twist
Hope dies last for dedicated players. The Helldivers 2 players have devised all sorts of tactics to make this twist in the Galactic War work for them in the Major Order. One of them, Unlucky-Gate8050, came up with an entire plan.
They explained: “Wasat is closest to liberation, so let’s just do east to west: Wasat, Vega Bay, Wezen, Varylia 5, Ustotu. At the very least, we can attack on two fronts thanks to the heroic liberation of Choepessa 4. So, the east side handles Wasat first, then Vega Bay. West: Ustotu first, then Varylia 5. We meet in the middle, on Wezen”.
JesseKomm added: “Wasat > Vega Bay > Wezen. By taking the whole Ymir sector we will further isolate the last of the cut-off Automatons. This could potentially make them desperate and overextend their forces, and might make the final two planets easier to take”.
You’ll definitely find us on Wasat, with our trusty Commando. In times like these, it’s important that the community sticks together for the greater good. As a reminder, if we manage to liberate any two planets within 12 hours, the extraction time shortens. That confirms that we have to stand together and follow a plan.
Honestly, we really appreciate these kinds of challenges. Especially given that the new update is right around the corner, and the Impalers are waiting. It’s encouraging to see that the developers didn’t just neglect the game to prepare the update. So, see you out there, for Super Earth.
