Helldivers 2 Major Order Forces Tough Weapon Choice

Apr 26, 2024 2:20 PM

In the strategic universe of Helldivers 2, players are currently faced with a tough decision in the game's latest Major Order that could influence their arsenal significantly. The dilemma at hand is choosing between two powerful weapons: the MD-17 Anti-Tank Mines and the RL-77 Airburst Rocket Launcher. As the Helldivers community gears up to liberate either Choohe or Penta to secure these weapons, the rocket launcher emerges as the favorite. With a majority of players rallying towards planet Lesath, seen as a strategic point for launching an assault on Penta, it seems clear that the explosive appeal of the rocket launcher is steering the collective effort. However, hope for acquiring the Anti-Tank Mines as well remains, with some players optimistic about liberating Choohe through the efforts at Menkent. The results of this Major Order could lead to either or both weapons potentially being added to the game's arsenal, depending on the community's unified strategy and the pace of their liberating efforts.

Which weapon will players receive from Helldivers 2's latest Major Order?

Players will receive either the MD-17 Anti-Tank Mines or the RL-77 Airburst Rocket Launcher depending on whether they choose to liberate Choohe or Penta.

Helldivers 2, a game developed by Arrowhead Game Studios, is well-known for its cooperative multiplayer gameplay, which emphasizes strategy and teamwork. The game's premise involves players taking on the role of Helldivers, elite soldiers fighting in a futuristic intergalactic war. It is set in a satirical dystopian future where a managed democracy has united the galaxy. Players work together in squads to complete various missions against enemy species, often with a choice of weapons and strategies—decisions that can significantly affect the outcome of battles, further illustrated by the latest event where players must choose between two distinct weapons with gameplay-wide implications. Helldivers 2 continues to build upon the success of its predecessor by providing deep cooperative experiences and challenging players with strategic decision-making that affects not just individual games but the entire community's progress.
