Summary
A new Helldivers 2 Major Order has sent players back to the Automaton sector. This time, Super Earth is trying to stop a Cyborg cyberattack while Helldivers fight through Charble 7 and Zaniah Prime. The return of the Jet Brigade and a dangerous Hulk surge makes this operation even more chaotic, making it important to prepare the right Helldivers 2 Items before diving into these missions.
1. New Major Order Targets Two Planets
The latest order focuses on two key planets:
Charble 7
Zaniah Prime
The goal is simple: liberate both planets before the Major Order expires.
According to the briefing, Cyborgs are planning to interfere with Super Earth's election systems through a cyberattack. Players therefore need to push into the Automaton sector and shut down the threat.
For players looking to progress quickly, areas with lower resistance may be the better starting point.
2. Jet Brigade and Hulk Surge Are Back
The Automaton front is getting much more dangerous with several threats appearing together.
One defense campaign currently features:
Cyborgs
Jet Brigade
Hulk Surge
Level 40 difficulty
The Jet Brigade can quickly overwhelm positions, while Hulk reinforcements make extended fights especially dangerous.
If you enjoy difficult Automaton missions, this is one of the better opportunities to test your loadout.
3. Another Campaign Cape Is Coming
The current campaign is also teasing a new reward, and it appears to be another cape.
That's not exactly exciting news for everyone. Players have already received plenty of capes from previous campaigns, so some are hoping for more interesting rewards in future Major Orders.
Still, the current campaign structure suggests that the full reward may take several Major Orders to unlock.
4. Gas Strike Could Be Nerfed
The Orbital Gas Strike is also becoming a hot topic.
Players noticed that its Demo Force value appears unusually high, leading to speculation that the number may have been copied from another Stratagem.
If Arrowhead changes the value, the Gas Strike could receive a noticeable nerf.
The community reaction is fairly straightforward: if a Stratagem launches with an incorrect value, players would rather see the numbers fixed before release than have the weapon nerfed after everyone starts using it.
5. A Possible New DSS Mechanic
There is also an interesting community idea involving the Democracy Space Station (DSS).
One suggestion is to let players donate Super Samples to activate modifiers such as Heavy SE Presence on selected planets.
That would give the community more control over the Galactic War instead of having certain modifiers appear on planets without much player influence.
It's only a concept for now, but it could make the DSS feel more important during future campaigns.
Final Thoughts
The latest Helldivers 2 Major Order may not be the biggest story-driven update, but the Automaton front is packed with action. Jet Brigade units, Hulk surges, Cyborgs, a new campaign reward, and the possible Gas Strike nerf give players plenty to discuss while pushing through the current operation. For players preparing for these battles, Helldivers 2 Items for sale can also be an option for getting the gear they need.
