The Automaton invasion has slowed, thanks to valiant defense efforts. We must take this chance to refill out E-710 reserves in order to stage a counter-offensive.

Major orders have never lasted more than the first two or three days. The latest order also looks set for completion in record time, as divers managed to decimate well over 100 million Terminids within the first hour.

The players had already achieved more than half the target, leading one Reddit user to question if Arrowhead may have underestimated their abilities.

Do you all think Arrowhead may have underestimated us?

Once the target is achieved, players will get this week’s reward, which is mentioned as 45 medals. The players had three Terminid planets to liberate and complete the overall target, including Estanu, Hellmire, and Oshaune. A short while ago, one user posted the liberation of Estanu.

We finished off Estanu.

Divers recently eradicated the bots and contained the bugs in the game, which was no small feat. Last week’s major order gave players the target to “destroy the forces of robots for good” and the divers took it upon themselves to complete the target after a long fight.

There’s a lot of new content expected to come to Helldivers 2, as players prepare for the Illuminate faction to make their debut at any time. Until then, players are down the Terminids and preparing for what’s to come next.
