The new Major Order of Helldivers 2 puts us in front of a moral dilemma
The Super Earth Command has issued a new Major Order, and this time the players of Helldivers 2 will find themselves faced with a real moral dilemma: here’s why.
A new Major Order has been issued for Helldivers 2 players, who this time find themselves faced with a real moral dilemma: save sick children or unlock a new stratagem?
The choice is between liberating Vernen Wells, where thousands of survivors are trapped in a children’s hospital ; or liberate Marfark, an operation that will unlock the MD-17 anti-tank mine stratagem.
According to the indications of the Major Order, it will not be possible to achieve both objectives , therefore a difficult decision will have to be made. In any case, there will be the terrible Automaton waiting for us.
An unprecedented situation
After transforming Meridia into a black hole, Helldivers 2 players find themselves facing an unprecedented situation , which stands as an unexpected development on the part of Arrowhead Game Studios.

In fact, the team seems to have found a way to put its community in difficulty, stimulating a discussion with ethical implications regarding what is the best choice to make in the case of this latest Major Order.
Clearly it will be very interesting to understand what players will ultimately choose to do , in the hope that the outcome will provide some interesting insights into how to direct the game’s post-launch support in the future.
For the moment, however, everything seems to be going great: just a few days ago Helldivers 2 reached a peak of over 750,000 players, most of them on PC Steam .
