Helldivers 2's stratagem gamble is one Arrowhead hopes will pay off

Arrowhead says having to choose between Helldivers 2 stratagems is an "exciting" proposition for the live game, as some players voice concern over potential toxicity when one of the rewards remains locked away. An incredible success that continues to thrive, the co-op shooter is constantly shifting while offering up new rewards and progression paths, with the choice between two stratagems the latest in a line of hard decisions.

New Helldivers 2 major order forces players to make a difficult choice

A new Helldivers 2 major order has arrived, and if you thought our previous challenge was a lot to deal with, this next is even more taxing - but for a different reason. One of the biggest surprise hits of the year so far, the fantastic co-op game continues to move from strength to strength with its latest Warbond and regular drops of new equipment. Now, however, we must make a tough choice, and only one of the options can be saved.

Helldivers 2's latest Major Order forces players to choose between two weapons, and yup, the rocket launcher looks to be winning early

Bad news, people who like stratagems that don't easily lend themselves to being wielded like a power-crazed idiot, Helldivers 2's latest Major Order is designed around forcing people to choose between a rocket launcher and another weapon. As no one could have predicted, early signs look to be pointing the way of the rocket launcher.

This order seems like it may well have been designed specifically to target what's been a bit of a weakness for the forces of Super Earth so far - not being able to easily come to an agreement and fight as one unified force sticking to the same plan when presented with battles on mutiple fronts. To be fair though, they've just overcome this hurdle in order to record a pretty impressive win, and it looks like this latest attempt from Arrowhead to divide and conquer might come a bit of a cropper too.

"Helldivers, it's time to choose between liberating Choohe or Penta," Arrowhead declared in its announcement of the Major Order, "Depending on your choice, you will receive either the MD-17 Anti-Tank Mines or the RL-77 Airburst Rocket Launcher." So, putting aside everyone's very real concern for the very real people that're in need of saving as part of this operation, there was a key decision to be made. How's it looking so far, you ask?

Helldivers 2's most recent Major Order really came down to the wire, but the community managed to pull out a victory that's really impressive - given how dire the situation looked earlier this week. The celebrations haven't ended there either, with Arrowhead having indicated that some evac missions which've been proving near impossible should be adjusted soon.

Yup, after plenty of arguing about the difficulty hardcore players were having in trying to convince all of their casual pals that they needed to pitch in, the same tenacity that killed a bunch of bugs the other week helped folks successfully defend ten planets. And their nightmares might not features as many evac mission flashbacks in the near future. You love to see it.

As folks celebrated over on the Helldivers 2 Discord server, community manager Twinbeard provided them with even more reason to get hyped. "To all of you offering feedback on how the bot citizen evac missions are $€@!£X@&! impossible on higher difficulty levels," they wrote, "We agree 100 % and will therefore adjust these in the near future!"

The latest AMD Radeon driver update for its gaming GPUs not only adds support for upcoming game Manor Lords, but also improves performance in Helldivers 2, according to the company. AMD Adrenalin Edition 24.4.1 also fixes a number of stability and performance issues on the company's RDNA 2 graphics cards, such as the Radeon RX 6800.
