The most recent Main Order in Helldivers 2 has prompted a rift locally by providing certainly one of two new Stratagems based mostly on which planet is liberated first.

Proper now, Helldivers 2 gamers should select between two planets and their respective rewards, two shiny new Stratagems. Whichever planet is liberated first will make its Stratagem completely out there to all, whereas the second can be misplaced till developer Arrowhead Recreation Studios chooses to supply it once more. As an alternative of coordinating, gamers are splitting throughout the galaxy, selecting to deal with whichever planet they need. Typically, it’s not even received something to do with the Main Order.

Gamers can’t resolve between incomes and Stratagems or killing bugs in Helldivers 2

The present Main Order in Helldivers 2 duties gamers with liberating each Choohe and Penta. If we liberate Choohe first, everybody will get the MD-17 Anti-Tank Mines Stratagem. Nonetheless, if all of us liberate Penta first, we’ll get the RL-77 Airburst Rocket Launcher Stratagem.

As you’ll be able to see within the picture above, gamers have entry to Penta proper now, and that’s the place the vast majority of gamers are focusing their efforts on the time of writing. These on the planet have been making an attempt out the Airburst Rocket Launcher, and their stories aren’t precisely glowing. As Reddit consumer Anubis_xxv places it, “That airburst launcher is a f***in loss of life lure.”

I’ve seen the Stratagem in motion myself in movies on the Helldivers 2 Discord server, and it’s not fairly. It shoots a rocket that explodes into smaller rockets, masking an space in explosions and harm. It’s nice for far-off targets however a nightmare for any close by Helldivers.

This has prompted some gamers to maneuver to Menket, which is about 50% liberated as I write. As soon as gamers liberate the planet, they’ll have opened the availability traces to Choohe, the place they’ll take a look at the MD-17 Anti-Tank Mines Stratagem. If it’s something just like the Anti-Personnel Minefield, I believe I’d favor it. The difficulty is that some gamers simply need this Main Order to be accomplished as shortly as doable, which is why extra of them are diving into Penta.

That is the primary time I’ve seen the group so uncoordinated. There’s no plan. There are these gamers who wish to hit Penta after which transfer on to Choohe to finish the Main Order shortly and those that wish to get to Choohe to check out the brand new Stratagem earlier than making a alternative about which one to unlock.

As if that wasn’t chaotic sufficient, extra gamers nonetheless have given up battling the Automatons after the completely exhausting Main Order from earlier within the week. As an alternative, they’re battling the bugs over on Hellmire on the alternative facet of the galaxy.

At this level, issues may go both means. I’ve little question we’ll end the Main Order, however as extra gamers get into the sport, we would see them sway from Penta to Choohe or proceed battling because the participant numbers already dictate. I imagine that there’s a particular sense of fatigue at play right here, that means gamers are extra determined to complete this Main Order and get a brand new one than they’re to get the perfect new Stratagem.
