Highlights

  • Helldivers 2 introduces a tough major order, forcing players to choose between saving lives or securing weaponry.
  • Players must make decisions like a Helldiver, with some prioritizing strategic importance over saving lives.
  • Failing major orders in Helldivers 2 can have consequences, making players work harder to achieve objectives.

Helldivers 2 has introduced a new major order that is forcing players to choose wisely. Helldivers 2 receives a consistent stream of support, as the game is one of Sony's most successful titles of all time. Keeping the players interested is one of the biggest priorities for the developers. One of the ways this happens is through major orders, which are missions that players can partake in for various incentives.

Major orders can be released as often as weekly, although they are not the only changes that get made to the game. Players have had time to enjoy the Polar Patriots Warbond, and now, gamers are preparing to move on to the Viper Commandos Warbond along with several other Helldivers 2 updates on June 13. As many get ready for this event, fans have been alerted about a fresh major order.

Shooter Movement Is Being Taken to the Next Level by Black Ops 6 and Helldivers 2

A new major order is live for Helldivers 2 players, and it's forcing them into a tough decision. A social media post from the Helldivers 2 account reveals the details of the major order. In the Hydra Sector of Helldivers 2, trapped civilians are sending a distress call from what's left of "Super Citizen Anne's Hospital for Very Sick Children." In the Andromeda Sector, an explosives repository on Marfark has been identified as vulnerable, containing the materials necessary for anti-tank mines. Players can only go for one option: saving the children or securing the mines. The choice made may set the tone for following missions as the Viper Commandos Warbond goes live.

Although more casual gamers might be inclined to go for what seems like the obvious answer - saving the children, many Helldivers 2 players enjoy allowing the roles of their characters to inform their in-game decision-making. In these cases, that means thinking like a Helldiver. This is why some players have responded to the post encouraging the idea that securing weaponry is far more important than saving lives.

Helldivers 2 Players Don't Want to Keep Failing Major Orders

Helldivers 2 putting its own spin on the trolley problem appears to be one way for the developers at Arrowhead Studio to have fun with its players, who have been dedicated to securing the Anti-Tank Mines for some time now. Prior to this, Helldivers 2 players had failed another major order that would have ensured the new Stratagem, and as a result of the current update, some players have started to suggest that they may never see the Anti-Tank Mines. If enough major orders fail, then players may begin to hope for Arrowhead to grant the mines as an act of mercy, but many hope to succeed and earn the stratagem this time.
