- Update: A new Major Order has now come in, directing players to head back to the bug front and liberate Hellmire, Estanu, and Crimsica to "clear the way for the construction of new, safer, and more efficient E-710 farms." The Major Order is set to expire early on Tuesday morning, giving Helldivers just under a day and a half to complete it.
- Helldivers 2 players have successfully completed the Major Order to liberate Maia, Tibit, and Durgen from the Automatons. As a result, there are no longer any worlds or sectors under Automaton control.
- Effectively, the bot menace has been kicked out of the Galactic War completely. However, whispers of "The Reclamation" have been reported, which is assumed to be an upcoming counteroffensive the bots will launch at some point in the future.
- Until that happens, players can't fight the Automatons, meaning that they'll have to head to the Terminid front and battle bug infestations.
- It's assumed that the game will focus on the bugs for a while as a result, though some also believe we may see the reintroduction of the Illuminate faction from the first Helldivers game while the bots preparing for their inevitable resurgence.
