To keep players occupied during their well-deserved vacation, Arrowhead tasked Helldivers 2 players with a daunting Major Order. However, as is almost always the case with the HD2 community, Super Earth soldiers rallied together. With barely any time remaining, Helldivers 2 players have just achieved what everyone believed was impossible, and players are rightfully celebrating their huge victory.

Helldivers 2 players conquer impossible Major Order

On July 22nd, Arrowhead started a new Major Order for Helldivers 2 that included the following objectives:

  • Kill 20,000,000 Shriekers
  • Kill 12,500,000 Impalers
  • Kill 6,250,000 Factory Striders
  • Kill 7,500,000 Fleshmobs
  • Kill 3,750,000 Leviathans

Upon seeing this Major Order, many players immediately claimed that it is “impossible” while also echoing Bill Paxton’s iconic line in Aliens, “Game over man”. However, in the face of adversity, the HD2 community has overcome the odds once again.

With only 4hrs remaining, players had completed all the objectives except for the Factory Striders. Super Earth soldiers had killed 94% but needed to defeat 371,968 more. The community then almost finished the task with only an hour remaining at 99.3%, and now it is official that Helldivers 2 players have conquered the Major Order.

It’s an incredible achievement, and, as you’d expect, the community is celebrating online. It was a tight victory, but it just shows the power of the community as Super Earth soldiers had to rally together to ensure the Factory Striders were obliterated.

As of writing, Arrowhead has not responded to the victory on socials. However, upon winning, an in-game message says, “construction has begun in earnest on three Maximum Security Cities”:

  • New Yearning City on the planet Fort Sanctuary
  • New Aspiration City on the planet Emeria
  • New Hope City on the planet Fort Union
