The newest Helldivers 2 Major Order is here, and it’s a big challenge: players need to defeat two billion Terminids in just about six days.
Today, on April 18, Arrowhead started a new phase of Helldivers 2’s Galactic War. Players are tasked with wiping out two billion Terminids worldwide. It sounds like a huge number, but they have six days to get it done.
The in-game Major Order says, “The Automaton invasion has slowed down, so we need to restock our reserves and prepare to fight back.” Helldivers 2 players have been battling against the Automaton enemies since earlier this month, and this new order comes after pushing them back from several planets.
Less than an hour after the order was given, players had already defeated 100 million Terminids. To meet the goal, they’ll need to beat around 400 million Terminids every day. At this rate, they’re doing well.
Right now, players can fight on three Terminid planets: Estanu, Hellmire, and Oshaune. The number of Terminids on a planet can change based on how many Super Earth soldiers are there, so players need to make sure they have enough planets to fight on before reaching the two billion goals.
However, developer Arrowhead might throw surprises during the Major Order, as they did in the past with Game Master Joel stopping the mech rollout during an Automaton attack. So, it might not be smooth sailing all the way through.
