Helldivers 2: New Major Order Explained

Article | By Super Earth Command on July 28, 2026 | Game: Helldivers 2

Attention Helldivers! High Command has issued a critical new Major Order, and the fate of the galactic western front hangs in the balance. The Automatons have launched a surprise counter-offensive, and we need every available diver to hold the line.

The Objective: Defend the Xzar Sector

The Automatons are aggressively pushing into the Xzar Sector. If they capture these planets, they will establish a direct supply line that threatens Super Earth space. Your objective is simple: successfully complete Defend Campaigns on Draupnir and Mantes.

Recommended Loadouts

Fighting the Automatons requires a vastly different approach than fighting the Terminid bugs. Armor penetration is absolutely mandatory.

  • Primary Weapons: The PLAS-1 Scorcher and the JAR-5 Dominator are currently top-tier for punching through Devastator armor.
  • Support Weapons: The Autocannon is the king of the bot front. It can snipe Hulks in the eye, destroy bot fabricators from a distance, and stagger heavy units. Alternatively, the Quasar Cannon is excellent for taking down incoming Dropships.
  • Stratagems: Bring the Eagle Airstrike for versatile base clearing and the Orbital Laser for panic situations when a Heavy Outpost gets out of control.

The Reward

If the community successfully holds both planets before the timer expires, every participating Helldiver will be rewarded with 45 Warbond Medals. Failure is not an option. For Super Earth!
