If you’ve been playing Helldivers 2 and attempting the Major Order that is currently active, you might be wondering why you haven’t been able to claim the listed number of Requisition Slips. No, Major Order is not bugged, it’s just a common misunderstanding of the mode. Check out our guide to Helldivers 2 Major Order to understand the game mechanics.

Helldivers 2 Major Order Progression
Major Orders in Helldivers 2 are a community-wide objective intended to unify the player base in a common cause. While you can play other missions to your heart’s content with the intent of farming currencies and samples, you won’t receive the Major Order’s listed number of Requisition Slips until the order is successfully completed by the player base as a whole.
The order overview for the current Helldivers 2 Major Order reads as “Win at least 8 Defend Campaigns against the Automatons”, over a period of a fortnight, or 14 days. This can be seen in the countdown timer on the right side of the Major Order screen. This is distinct from the Personal Order and its timer beneath.

Helldivers 2 Major Order Defend Campaign
Major Order is effectively a system-wide war that has you defending the currently listed planets within the time specified above each, as they are being overrun by the enemy. The bars represent the strength and success of the Helldivers (in blue), and the enemy (in red), the former being filled slowly by players successfully completing Missions. Filling it to completion before the enemy red bar reaches capacity is the goal.
Community stats are listed on the left side, including sector progress and control. Successfully defending eight planets (i.e. “8 Defend Campaigns”) as a community is what will earn you your final reward of 12,500 Requisition Slips.
Helldivers 2 Personal Order Bug
As far as an actual bug is concerned you may encounter one where turning in the shorter 24-hour Personal Order doesn’t net you your rewards. This is a server connectivity issue and is easily resolved by:
- Restarting the game
- Restarting your console if you’re playing on PlayStation 5
Once you reconnect to the Helldivers 2 servers, your rewards should count just fine.
