Killing two billion bots in 5 days feels like an insurmountable activity, however the Helldivers 2 group has kind when it comes to mobilizing in response to powerful Major Orders. In April, it took Helldivers 2 gamers lower than 24 hours to kill two billion Terminids, however Arrowhead later confirmed the kill rely was bugged. This new Major Order, assuming it tracks kills correctly, could also be a harder ask.

There are actually calls from the group for Arrowhead to take extra time with the Warbonds so as to make them hit more durable.
