The new major order in Helldivers 2 has left players with a tough choice.

Arrowhead's newest major order for Helldivers 2 left the community in tough spot by making them choose between two new stratagems.

Helldivers 2 is Sony's latest live-service game which takes players on a liberation quest for Super Earth and democracy. Players are regularly provided with major orders and personal orders to earn Warbond medals.

Major Orders are the heart of Helldivers 2, as they force players to play together as a community in order to complete a common goal. These major orders help players progress through different fronts in the Galactic War. However, Arrowhead's new major order has put players in a major dilemma.

Helldivers 2’s new Major Order puts players in a Major Dilemma

Arrowhead Game Studios recently announced a new major order for Helldivers 2 on Twitter, requiring players to choose between liberating the planet Choohe or Penta in the Lacaille Sector, both of which are under Automaton occupation and were destroyed during the Enduring Bulwark Operation. 

Based on their selection, the community will receive either the new MD-17 Anti-Tank Mines or the new RL-77 Airburst Rocket Launcher. However, the RL-77 Airburst Rocket Launcher remains as the superior option for Defense campaigns leaving players with a major dilemma.

The Airburst launcher might be the strongest stratagem in the game due its sheer firepower and explosive abilities. It causes a large explosion spreading like wildfire in the air allowing players to pick off hordes of enemies at once without any difficulties.

On the other, the Anti-tank mine is a emplacement stratagem which only works if placed in the proper directions. Considering how difficult defense missions are the anti-tank mines seem less important compared to the Airburst rocket launcher.

However, taking the mentality of Helldivers 2 players into account we can safely say that players might end up liberating both planets at once in the provided time frame. In a past major order, players liberated five planets at once in a matter of two days, and seeing two important stratagems at stake, liberating two different planets seems a like a walk in the park for the Helldivers 2 community.
