Helldivers 2 Issues Major Order: Players Must Eliminate 1.5 Billion Enemies in Four D

[grenasbert]

Developer Arrowhead Game Studios has introduced a new Major Order in Helldivers 2, challenging players to kill 1.5 billion enemies within four days. If players fail, the much-avoided MD-17 Anti-Tank Mine Stratagem will be forcibly added to their arsenal. This directive has caught many by surprise, as the Helldivers 2 community has actively avoided unlocking this specific stratagem in the past. It seems the developers are now pushing back, presenting a formidable challenge to ensure the mines are unlocked.

Helldivers 2, released in February 2024, is a cooperative third-person shooter developed by Arrowhead Game Studios and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The game continues the chaotic, humorous action of its predecessor, featuring intense combat on hostile planets with missions ranging from hive exterminations to complex code recoveries. Teamwork is crucial in Helldivers 2, as players must coordinate strategies and deploy special abilities, known as Stratagems, to succeed.

In a Twitter post, Arrowhead Game Studios announced the "Efficacy Review" of the currently available Mine Stratagems. If players manage to eliminate 1.5 billion enemies within the four-day timeframe, the existing Mine Stratagems will be considered adequate. However, if the target is not met, the MD-17 Anti-Tank Mines will be automatically added to the Helldivers' repertoire. Unlike the usual method of unlocking stratagems by reaching a kill count, this challenge requires players to fight to avoid unlocking a stratagem they clearly don’t want.

This unusual challenge is rooted in decisions made by players earlier in the year. In April, when Helldivers 2 players had to choose between liberating two planets, they deliberately avoided the one that offered the Anti-Tank Mines as a reward. In a June challenge, players again chose against unlocking the mines, turning it into a running joke within the community. Now, the developers are embracing this meme, setting an almost impossible task to finally bring the mines into the game.

In Helldivers 2, Stratagems are special abilities and equipment that players can deploy during missions to support their squad and complete objectives. These include offensive, defensive, and utility options. Stratagems are unlocked and upgraded using Requisition Slips, earned by completing missions or found in-game. Players also earn XP to level up and unlock new stratagems, with all rewards being shared equally among team members.
