The latest Helldivers 2 Major Order saw Super Earth “split the Automaton Forces in two,” and players were able to successfully liberate four planets in the Andromeda Sector. Now players have been tasked with cutting off the final supply lines and completely taking over the Sector, putting a huge dent in the robot army and their ability to regenerate. This has led to the decay rate becoming 0% on certain planets, meaning that the bots have given up…for now.

Following the success of the previous Major Order, a message appeared from Super Earth saying,

“The Automaton Dominion has been fractured by the mighty assault rifle of Freedom. Thanks to the courage and obedience of the Helldivers, a large swath of Automaton-held planets are cut off from Cyberstan, disrupting their supplies and communications. This will significantly impact the defenses on those planets, and it will take the Automatons time to recover. Until then, and so long as our barrier holds, the cut-off planets are vulnerable to our just liberation.”

Super Earth has now sent new commands to Helldivers 2 players for the next Major Order. This event calls for players to liberate Charon Prime, Charbal VII, and Choepassa IV, which will cut off supply lines in the west of the Sector.

“With the Automaton forces in disarray, the opportunity has come to liberate the territory the Automatons illegally occupy. Time is of the essence. The Automaton defenses will recover in short order. We must press the advantage now. Assaults on our defensive line to re-connect their forces are expected. If the line is broken, the Automaton defenses will immediately recover, and our opportunity will dissipate.”

So far, progress has been strong, with players already at 55% liberation of Charon Prime within the first hour. With supply lines weakened it does mean that we could see new Sectors become available as the robots look for new planets to regroup and rebuild their army.

Although it seems like this will be another successful Major Order, the Helldivers 2 community knows by now not to rest on their laurels. So to ensure victory, we highly recommend checking out our Helldivers 2 best weapons guide and best armor guide so you can equip the best loadout to serve Liber-tea to the robot army.
