Helldivers 2 fans are growing increasingly frustrated with issues related to Personal Orders, which used to be one of the most popular features of the game. While a number of other complaints fans had against Helldivers 2 were ironed out in the past few days, daily challenges still have several bugs that have been lingering around for a while now.

It's been an eventful past few weeks for Helldivers 2, as the game experienced exponential growth since its launch and shattered several records. The fact that the game at one point outperformed the giants of the genre, Fortnite and Call of Duty, speaks volumes about its popularity. However, the unprecedented growth has led to server outages, with players having to wait for hours to get into the game. Things got so bad that at one point, players stopped logging out of the game to preserve their spots. Even though the servers have significantly improved, fans continue to express their dissatisfaction with another aspect of the game.

Helldivers 2 releases a new update that makes a major backend change to help the long queue times players have been facing since the game's launch.

As highlighted in several Reddit posts, there seems to be a recurrent issue with daily challenges, aka Personal Orders in the game. While many have noted that their Personal Orders have not been reset in weeks, others have not gotten their medal rewards for completing them in Helldivers 2.

Helldivers 2's Personal Orders Not Showing Up For Several Players

The aberrancy of the issue is quite perplexing since it seems to be different for every player. Some fans have continued to get them on a daily basis, whereas others have experienced the issue intermittently. That's not all, as some players have also reported that their Personal Orders refused to reflect their progress, or straight up disappeared midway. While restarting the game seems to have fixed the issue for a few players, others are still looking for the developers to release a fix for Helldivers 2.

So far, Arrowhead Game Studios has not acknowledged the issue, and its prime focus for now seems to be on more pressing Helldivers 2 issues. The medal rewards are the most lucrative aspect of Personal Orders, considering they form a core aspect of Helldiver 2's gameplay. When working correctly, the challenges can be seamlessly completed, giving players a more feasible way to collect medals. The game recently headed into its first weekend without facing any server-related hiccups, so fans are quite optimistic about the developers making progress and hope that this issue will be resolved soon as well.
