There is an issue with Major Order rewards that’s been circling the Helldivers 2 community, and players wonder why they didn’t receive their Medals. Is there a fix? Here’s what we gathered.
Helldivers 2 has a global “narrative” in the form of Major Orders. The High Command (aka. the devs) sends Helldivers to conquer or defend certain planets in the name of Super Earth and being successful in these missions and operations gives you rewards. Rewards in the form of Medals or Requisition slips. But, it looks like something is holding those rewards back.
Helldivers 2 Players Reported That They Didn’t Receive Medals
During the last stages of Operation Swift Disassembly, some players did not receive their well-earned Medals. Ubanea, Draupnir, Tibit, and more bot planets have been liberated, but no Reward was received for it. More and more players are asking what is going on. In a couple of different Reddit posts, players voiced their concerns.
The majority of players say that it is not a big deal, they would just like to know why. But since this happened for more than one Major Order reward, players are wondering whether they’ll have to grind all over again or if something can be done about it.
Helldivers 2 Developers Issued an Announcement Concerning Major Order Rewards
On April 4, the Arrowhead Game Studios developer team said they are aware of this problem and are working towards fixing it. “Your hard-fought medals are already being shipped, Helldivers.” was posted on the official Discord server. “Due to the vast amount of outstanding soldiers participating in the continuous fight for democracy, dispatching them however takes some time, usually a few hours. Thank you for your non-wavering effort and support!”
But, some fans say that it has been more than a few hours. Can you do something about it?
How to Fix the “Major Order Rewards” Issue?
Sadly, there is nothing that you can do about it. The issue lies with the game’s servers and developers and they are already trying to fix the problem. What you can do is just continue playing the game and contributing to Major Order progression. Keep yourself busy by fighting on Terminid or robot planets and eventually the rewards “backlog” will be cleared.
This issue has almost been dealt with completely. Due to recent patches and the efforts of the dev team, all pending Medals have been “shipped”. Even if someone is still to receive their Major Order rewards, the waiting time is quite short.
The Issue Persists
Even after all the patches and fixes, some Helldivers 2 players still have to wait to get their Medals. These issues are bound to happen from time to time, due to the sheer number of players. The best thing you can do is wait it out. If you have a lot of Medals already, remember to spend some so as not to hit the Medal Cap when those pending Medals do arrive.
