Helldivers 2’s latest Major Order forces players to choose between two weapons, and yes, it looks like the rocket launcher will win early

The bad news is, for those who prefer strategies that aren’t easily used by power-mad idiots, Helldivers 2’s latest Major Order is designed to force people to choose between rocket launchers and other weapons . As no one expected, early signs seemed to point the way for the rocket launcher.

It seems likely that this order was specifically designed to target one of the weaknesses of Super Earth’s forces to date – the inability to easily reach agreements and fight as a unified force adhering to the same plan in a battle that presents multiple fronts. But to be fair, they just overcame that obstacle with a pretty impressive win, and it looks like Arrowhead’s latest attempt at divide and conquer might be a bit of a flop as well.

“Helldivers, it’s time to choose between freeing Choohe or Penta,” Arrowhead said in its statement. Announcement of major orders, “Depending on your choice, you will receive either an MD-17 anti-tank mine or an RL-77 airburst rocket launcher.” So, setting aside everyone’s real concern about the very real people who need to save money as part of this operation, We need to make a critical decision. How does it look so far, you ask?

The public seems to be leaning toward rocket launchers and therefore choosing to prioritize the Pentagon’s liberation, because of course they are. According to Helldivers.io, 54,000 players – who have formed an entity on the game’s Discord server that people cheekily call “The Blob” – have landed on Lesath, a planet that will serve as a great base for a subsequent attack on Penta ’s starting point, the rocket launcher awaits under the loving care of the robot.

Now, that’s not to say that the idea of ​​saving those poor anti-tank mines has been abandoned, and many players – probably addicted to the ego-boost of past major order successes – have suggested that they think grabbing both strategies by liberating Choohe would be a good if thing Progress fast enough and it’s possible. This will likely have to be done through Menkent’s staging area, where approximately 8,000 players currently work and the liberation rate hovers around 39%.

We’ll have to see how things play out, but regardless of the order, both strategies will likely see the light of day in the game soon.
