After the Major Order of liberating Choohe or Penta, fans have decided to go later on. Upon the liberation of these two planets, players were about to get MD-17 Anti-Tank Mines or RL-77 Airburst Rocket Launcher. As they have chosen Penta to liberate, players are going to get access to the Airburst Rocket Launcher.

It seems like the battle to free Choohe is going through Chort Bay (13%), rather than Menkent (55%) which is still ruled by automata. Nevertheless, the Menkent Line has to be restored as quickly as feasible. However, there are many debates if the decision to liberate Penta was the right one.

Freeing Choohe would have let players get access to the MD-17 anti-tank mine. The RL-17 Airburst Rocket Launcher is replaceable as there are many alternatives available for this armory in the Helldivers 2 arsenal. But the anti-tank mine was crucial as this area denial weapon can stop automatons from aggressing.

The Major Order of defending 10 planets was very difficult for the players. However, the forces of Super Earth did manage to defend the ten planets, which were involved in the latest chapter of the Galactic War.

Defending the last planet, the Automatons-infested Ustotu nearly came to the wire. But players did it. As a reward, Arrowhead has indicated that some close-to-impossible missions are going to be adjusted soon.
