In Helldivers 2, Major Orders (MOs) are the lifeline of the ongoing galactic war. However, it feels like Arrowhead fails to deliver that message in-game. Many players feel that these MOs often fall short due to a lack of in-game communication, making them feel irrelevant or chaotic.
Without clear guidance on what’s important and where to dive in, some players (especially the new players) are left in the dark. Fans are suggesting simple fixes to mitigate that, like adding a strategic overview or news broadcasts, to make MOs more engaging for everyone.

Major Orders in Helldivers 2 are meant to be completed with community efforts. They rely on large-scale coordination and strategy. However, the game offers little guidance on how to carry out these efforts, leaving players, especially casual ones, unsure how to contribute.
Key details such as defense needs and supply line logistics are not conveyed effectively in-game, leaving casual players to guess what’s most important. As a result, many players rely on external communities like Discord to learn the optimal strategies.
Helldivers 2 Needs Better In-Game Communication for Major Orders. Us casual players are not up to date on MO strategies.

While this works for those actively involved in the communities, it creates a divide between those with insider knowledge and those left to figure things out on their own.
In response, players have proposed a few ideas, such as adding tools within the game to help communicate strategic priorities. Suggestions include a strategic overview screen showing priority targets, a news broadcast, and clear in-game indicators of where player efforts are most needed.
These improvements could ensure that all players, whether seasoned or new, understand the stakes and their role in completing the MOs effectively.
In-Game Strategy is Essential for Major Orders’ Success
Clear communication is vital for the success of Major Orders in Helldivers 2. Without understanding where to focus their efforts, new players may end up attacking the wrong planets or failing to prioritize important objectives.
This confusion can result in insufficient players liberating key planets, making it impossible to complete the MOs. There have been several instances in which players have flocked to less important planets, leaving critical ones underdefended or neglected, ultimately leading to failure.

When players are shown the importance of certain objectives or why we need to focus on this planet (even though there are multiple options), they can more effectively contribute to the greater effort. It also means that new players don’t feel lost or disconnected from the overarching narrative of the galactic war.
By integrating good tools (in the next major update) directly into the game, the community-driven nature of Major Orders would become more accessible to everyone. This could make the difference between a successful liberation and another failed attempt.
