Summary:
The latest Helldivers 2 Items Major Order has taken a surprising turn. What originally looked like an almost impossible objective has suddenly become much easier after Super Earth reduced the required kill targets. At the same time, players now know the campaign reward, giving everyone another reason to finish the current operation.
Eagle Gas Strike Is the New Campaign Reward
The biggest reward revealed so far is the Eagle Gas Strike, a new red Stratagem for Helldivers. It gives players another offensive option when dealing with groups of enemies.
The Eagle Gas Strike is tied to the current campaign, meaning players will need to progress through the campaign before they can claim it. The exact timing depends on how many Major Orders are included in the campaign, but players should continue participating in every stage if they want to unlock the reward as soon as possible.
For players who enjoy Eagle Stratagems, this could become another useful tool for clearing concentrated enemy groups.
Major Order Targets Have Been Dramatically Reduced
The biggest change is the Major Order itself. Initially, the required kill numbers were so high that many players believed the community could not realistically complete them.
That has now changed.
Super Earth announced that an analysis found the original targets were overestimated. As a result, the required numbers were reduced dramatically. The adjustment completely changed the situation, turning an extremely difficult objective into one that the community can finish within hours.
The Gatekeepers, Vox Engines, and Agitators have already been completed. Only the Obtruders remain.
How to Finish the Obtruder Objective
If you want to help complete the Major Order, focus your efforts on missions where Obtruders can be found.
At the moment, players should head toward Senji 23 and select the appropriate mission type for the Obtruder objective. Since the community is concentrated on this target, joining these missions is one of the fastest ways to contribute.
Area-of-effect Helldivers 2 Weapons and Stratagems are especially useful because they can help deal with multiple enemies quickly. Bring equipment that matches your preferred playstyle, but prioritize tools that can clear groups efficiently.
With the reduced target, the remaining objective should not take nearly as long as originally expected.
What Is Happening With the Illuminate?
The Major Order has also created more discussion about the Illuminate. Some players feel that the faction has received less satisfying story development compared with the Terminids and Automatons.
The situation becomes even more interesting because Calypso is still missing from the Galactic War table. This does not necessarily mean the planet has disappeared. Instead, it could indicate that Super Earth High Command is deliberately hiding information from Helldivers.
The upcoming campaign may finally provide answers.
For now, the best strategy is simple: complete the remaining Obtruder objective, secure progress toward the Eagle Gas Strike, and keep watching the Galactic War map. The current Major Order may be easy to finish, but the mystery surrounding the Illuminate and Calypso could be setting up something much bigger.
