For the Helldivers 2 Terminid Control System Major Order, players need to assist with activating lots of Termicide dispersers to help purge the bugs from four vital planets. How exactly you go about doing this is quite straightforward, though it doesn’t seem it as things are complicated by the newHelldivers 2mission type that features in every operation on all four of the Umlaut Sector Barrier Planets. With two of the four planets already Terminid-free, the Helldivers are on track to completing this order, but there’s still time to do your part for Super Earth! Below, I’ve explained exactly what you need to do to activate Terminid Control Systems across Helldivers 2.
How to help with the Helldivers 2 Terminid Control System Major Order
Just like liberating any other planet in Helldivers 2,you can contribute towards activating the Terminid Control System Major Order by completing Operations on any of the four Barrier Planets in the Umlaut Sector– Erata Prime, Fenrir III, Meridia, and Turing.

You must complete an entire Operation to make progress towards the “TCS installation progress” bar for your chosen planet, and not just single missions. This means playing on a higherHelldivers 2 difficulty, where Operations consist of multiple missions, will provide the most provide the most progress. If the TCSs for all four planets are activated, all players will be rewarded with 50 Medals for their efforts.
Be aware that every Operation on these four planets also has anew mission type called “Activate Terminid Control System”. It can be a little complicated and quite brutal on the harder difficulties, so I’ve explained how it works below, and be prepared with yourbest Helldivers 2 buildsfor exterminating Terminids.
This mission has the usual 40-minute timer but takes place on a smaller map than usual, focusing solely on a Terminid Control System facility that you and your squad needs to activate. There won’t be anyHelldivers 2 Secondary Objectivesto complete as there are several time-consuming Primary Objectives you need to focus on:
Overall, it’s a pretty tough mission, especially on higher difficulties as the Terminids are absolutely relentless when you activate a Battery Silo. Good communication is key and bringing weapons such as the Flamethrower will really help when trying to keep the bugs at bay. Since it’s a more defensive mission, bringing some of thebest Helldivers 2 Stratagemsand sentries is useful, placing them in front of Bug Breaches to spawn-kill the Terminids. However, be extremely careful about calling in Stratagems near the Battery Silos as dropping a 500kg Bomb or Orbital Laser on top of some enemies can be a surefire way to immediately reset the silo.© GamesRadar+.
