Helldivers 2threw a curveball with its latest Major Order, and the community promptly responded with a resounding “Is that all you’ve got?”Arrowhead tasked players with a straightforward goal: exterminate upwards of 100 million Terminids within three days.
But it seems the developers greatly underestimated the Helldivers’ insatiable appetite for bug-slaying. Within mere hours of the Major Order’s release, theHelldivers 2community had already made short work of the Terminid horde.
Helldivers 2 Players Are Born to Kill Bugs
TheHelldivers 2community is no stranger to exterminating Terminids, having honed their skills and strategies over countless missions. Players have perfected the art of dispatching the insectoid menace with ruthless efficiency, capitalizing on the bugs’ tendency to attack in large swarms.

A well-placed Stratagem, such as the Eagle Airstrike, can wipe out dozens of Terminids in a single blow, drastically reducing the threat they pose. Similarly, weapons with high crowd-control potential, like the Flamethrower, excel at thinning out the bug ranks and buying precious breathing room for the team.
However, the ease with which the community has tackled the latest Major Order has surprised many, with players on theHelldivers 2subreddit pointing out the apparent miscalculation onArrowhead‘s part:
It’s clear that the developers may not have fully grasped the efficiency with whichHelldivers 2players can dispatch the Terminid menace. As one Redditor aptly put it:
For veteran Terminid slayers, this MO was just another day at the office:
However, the community’s success against Terminids doesn’t mean that fighting these bugs is a cakewalk.While they may be easier to deal with than Automatons for some, letting the guard down for even a moment can allow the horde to close in and overwhelm even the most experienced Helldivers.
But Wait, What’s Arrowhead’s Endgame?
With the“Terminid Research Initiative (T.R.I.)”Major Order being completed so quickly, players are beginning to speculate about Arrowhead’s true intentions.

Some believe this mission was merely a bait, designed to give Helldivers a false sense of security before unleashing an even greater challenge:
Others have proposed alternative scenarios, ranging from the plausible to the humorous:
Regardless of the devs’ true motives, one thing is certain: theHelldivers 2community is more than ready to face whatever challenges the developers throw their way.
These battle-hardened soldiers have proven time and again that they have what it takes to defend Super Earth and spread managed democracy across the galaxy.
So, Arrowhead, if you’re reading this, take note: if you want to truly test the mettle of theHelldivers 2playerbase,you’ll need to bring more than just a few million bugs to the table.
