In a recent turn of events in the Helldivers 2 community, players were faced with a difficult decision that ultimately led to a significant setback in the ongoing Major Order. The choice between defending planet Draupnir and liberating Ubanea proved to be a critical one, as High Command now attributes the loss of Ubanea to distracted divers. This failure not only hinders progress in the Galactic West but also jeopardizes Super Earth’s ultimate goal of liberating Tibit before the weekend is over.
According to a statement from High Command, the initial hours of indecision among the troops resulted in a lack of concentration and insufficient forces to achieve either objective effectively. Ubanea, which was on the verge of being liberated at 95%, now stands as a reminder of what could have been accomplished with better coordination and focus. The blame has been placed on divers who were preoccupied with other conflicts, such as the ongoing botdivers versus bugdivers civil war.
While some soldiers were caught up in the conflict between botdivers and bugdivers, a significant portion of forces remained stuck in the perpetual stalemate at Malevelon Creek. High Command highlighted the issue, referring to these soldiers as “creekheads,” and criticized the diversion of resources to defend and eventually liberate Malevelon Creek. With a large contingent of forces tied up in this deadlock, the likelihood of success on Draupnir, Ubanea, and ultimately Tibit diminishes significantly.
Interestingly, some players on the Helldivers 2 subreddit have shifted the blame to developer Arrowhead for not adequately displaying supply lines in the game. The interconnected nature of planets on the Galactic Table, where liberating one planet opens up pathways to others, is crucial for strategic decision-making. However, the game itself does not reveal these supply lines to players, leading to potential confusion and inefficiencies in achieving Major Order objectives. While a fan-made website offers this information, the lack of in-game clarity raises questions about how players can effectively plan their campaigns.
The recent failure in the Major Order of Helldivers 2 serves as a valuable lesson for the community on the importance of strategic decision-making, coordination, and prioritization. The consequences of divided focus, lack of clarity in strategy, and diversion of forces to less critical areas have been starkly highlighted. Moving forward, players must heed High Command’s warnings and take a more cohesive and systematic approach to future missions to ensure success in achieving their goals. Only through learning from past failures can the community hope to emerge stronger and more successful in their future endeavors.
