[QUOTE="Admin, post: 62993, member: 1"] The next step in [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/helldivers-ii']Helldivers 2[/URL]’s ongoing Galactic War is here, and it’s just about the most straightforward yet: kill bugs. Lots of bugs. Two billion to be exact.

Helldivers 2 players now have just under six days to kill two billion Terminids. That sounds like a lot, but at the time of this article’s publication, with five days and 20 hours left to complete the major order, players had already hit 19.6% completion. That is, over 391 million bugs had already bit the dust. Based on this initial progress, it seems the community will complete the Major Order sooner rather than later.
