What you need to know
- Update: Helldivers have successfully liberated Estanu in well under 24 hours, and as a result, Fori Prime is now available to play on and liberate. This quick victory gives me hope that the community will be able to pull off this Major Order, though freeing it, Hellmire, Nivel 43, and Zagon Prime in two days will still be extremely difficult to accomplish.
- Helldivers 2's latest Major Order is directing players to free the planets Zagon Prime and Fori Prime from bug infestation by Friday morning, and will reward the community 35 Warbond Medals if it's accomplished.
- The catch, though, is that both worlds are currently located behind enemy lines, which makes fighting on them impossible currently. This is Helldivers 2's "Supply Lines" mechanic at work.
- To open fronts on Zagon and Fori Prime, we'll have to first free worlds like Hellmire and Estanu. Luckily, about 120,000 Helldivers are already fighting on Estanu now, with more joining the ongoing battle as I write this.
- Comically, the reason why Super Earth wants control of these two planets is because it's "culling the Terminid population and harvesting the E-710 they provide." Element 710 is all-but-confirmed to be oil by the game's lore, so basically, we're farming the bugs for fossil fuel.
