After last week's race to gas Terminid planets with super pesticide, I thought for sure Arrowhead would give the Helldivers 2 community a break. Then yesterday, a new major order came in: liberate a total of five planets in just three days—a daunting challenge, but not one that would be out of reach for the Super Earth fighting force that has exceeded Arrowhead's expectations at every turn.
As expected, the helldivers showed up. The major order only calls for the liberation of two planets, Fori Prime and Zagon Prime, but to get to them, players need to liberate at least three other planets first. The most organized players have taken on the roles of generals drawing up elaborate battle plans and rallying forces to focus their efforts and ignore unnecessary planets. It was working: In just over 24 hours, Estanu was liberated, opening a path to Fori Prime. With two days left to check off Fori and make a break for Zagon, success seemed entirely possible.
