The latest Helldivers 2 Major Order is proving to be one of the most challenging yet, with players tasked with defending 10 planets from both the Automatons and Terminids. This comes just days after exterminating a staggering number of enemies in the previous event.
Unfortunately, an issue with the game that prevented progress tracking over the weekend has potentially made it too late to succeed. Helldivers 2 Community Manager Twinbeard announced that progress is being tracked once again, but the situation is far from optimistic.
When the issue was resolved, the Major Order progression showed only 1/10 planets liberated. It was hoped that the fix would reveal significant progress, but the figure now stands at just 2/10. With three days remaining, players must liberate eight more planets, which seems like a daunting task.
According to HelldiversHQ, players are currently positively liberating four of the remaining planets while losing ground on the other four. However, based on the predicted time, only one planet is due to succeed. This could all change as the higher liberated planets become completed and players can focus solely on the planets that are currently losing ground. But, as it stands right now, failure seems imminent.
It is difficult to know whether the period of not reporting progression is to blame, or whether the Helldivers were always set up to fail. However, it is important to remember that the good guys don’t always win in war. Sometimes, setbacks are necessary to remind us that we are in a fight for democracy.
To stand any chance at succeeding, players need to work together and strategize their attacks. They also need to be equipped efficiently to ensure survival in every mission. By collaborating and using the right gear, the Helldivers may still be able to pull off a miraculous victory.
