The undemocratic divers among us have been convinced that High Command's Major Orders are rigged – objectives made to fail, predetermined victories and the like – but Arrowhead Game Studios has once and for all refuted these unpatriotic conspiracy theories about Helldivers 2.

In a message on the game's official Discord server, Arrowhead Game Studios CEO Shams Jorjani shuts down the popular fan theory and admits that the devs are just as clueless as the rest of us. Major Orders aren't designed to be lost or won before hand; Arrowhead kinda just takes the Galactic War where the wind blows.
