A new Major Order just arrived, following the success of the previous one. It was a close call but with the liberation of Phact Bay, Helldivers were victorious. Now, after several centered around Terminids, the new Major Order has Helldivers 2 players finally facing some Automatons. Will the victory streak continue or are the fans bound to meet their doom?

The New Major Order Wrecks Chaos Among Fans

The new MO takes dedicated players all the way to the Ymir Sector, planet Wasat, to be precise. The briefing explained: “While the Supercolony diverted our attention the Automaton Legion has continued to spread their oppressive regime. Unhindered, they have ruthlessly colonized and exploited the resources of planet after planet, single-mindedly focused on increasing their might”.

At the time of writing this article, players have another three days and twenty-two hours to liberate Wasat of Automatons. Fans were excited to finally have an opportunity to obliterate some bots. ExploerTM said: “F**k yeah, bot orders at last”. They added: “Probably gonna fail because I have no fucking idea how to get to the damn planet in the first place – thanks for a swift fix of Galactic Map, AH, thanks – but at least I can unequip my Breaker and Gas Strike and pick something else”.

Grumpf_der_Sack noted: “I am glad that the botfront is getting more attention but I just wish we had some kind of counter-attack MO where we had to liberate four planets of our choice or sth. like that before we got the one we have now”. Several players agreed, pointing out that recently over and over again they had extremely hard defence Major Orders.

Helldivers Contemplain On the Best Route to Wasat

If you aren’t an expert, you might be scratching your head, wondering how to even arrive on Wasat. Well, you aren’t the only one. Kingslayerreddit predicted: “The new Major Order is out and the average player doesn’t know about supply lines or cares about the bot front. This MO is lost and all similar to this unless AH adds supply lines in the game and nerfs the bots”.

A Redditor, fearless-potato-man, gave a suggestion for the most efficient route. They said: “I know some about supply lines, but I don’t know if the arrows they show matter. Is Wezen > Vega bay > Wasat the shortest route?”. Drunken_Queen readily confirmed: “Definitely”.

Now, some would say the shortest route isn’t always the best choice if it includes fire tornados. For those people, WildRonin suggested an alternative route. They said: “Taking Aesir Pass alone will take like 1-2 days. Then there are three more planets to hop through before we even get to Wasat! I know the Wezen route is faster and all, but one: how is the average diver supposed to figure out what’s the most efficient path? Two: that’s a bloody fire tornado planet”.

So, you have two main choices: a faster route through the fire tornados of Wezen or the longer one through the recently fallen Aesir Pass. Seems like Helldivers 2 players will have an interesting weekend thanks to the new Major Order and all those pesky Automatons. We wish you all a safe passage to Wasat and numerous victories against the bots.
