Players now need to deactivate the Terminid Control System in Helldivers 2 in a new mission as part of the latest Major Order, offering 50 Medals. TheHelldivers 2 Terminid Control Systemwas first activated on the four Barrier Planets in the Umlaut Sector several weeks ago, killing the bugs with Termicide. However recentHelldivers 2developments have revealed the constant exposure to the chemical has allowed the bugs to adapt, developing immunity and accelerated reproduction, hence the sudden outbreak. To stop the bugs, it’s imperative that the Terminid Control Systems are deactivated in Helldivers 2, and here’s how you can help with that.
How to complete the Helldivers 2 Deactivate Terminid Control System mission
This new mission sees you and your squad diving into a TCS facility that has been completely overrun with reproducingHelldivers 2 Terminids, featuring large, mutated eggs and battery silos that need to be shut down. While the mission isn’t especially hard, speed is key due to the 12-minute timer. Here’s what you must do to deactivate the TCS in Helldivers 2 and extract safely:
Helldivers 2 extractionHelldivers 2 farm samplesHelldivers 2 difficultiesBest Helldivers 2 loadoutsHelldivers 2 enemies
Overall, it’s a really simple and actually quite easy mission. I played it both on Hard and Impossible difficulties and didn’t find Impossible that much harder.
The important thing to remember is that both objectives can be completed simultaneously so you can destroy eggs and shut down silos in whatever order. With that in mind,the best way to tackle this mission is to split up into pairs or even solos(assuming you’re playing in a full team of four).Everyone should head to a different battery silo and destroy as many eggs as they can along the way.
There are actually more than 17 mutated eggs across the whole facility, so destroying enough should be pretty easy. Any weapon will do but the Punisher Plasma can one-shot the eggs, making it a good option. The Flamethrower, Laser Cannon, Railgun, Grenade Pistol, and Eruptor are also solid choices for easily destroying these eggs, though be prepared for them to violently explode so don’t stand too close. Also you can get a head start by crashing your Hellpod into an egg at the start of the mission.
As for how you can contribute to the “deactivate the Terminid Control System” Major Order, simply completing this mission isn’t enough. Just like whenliberating planets in Helldivers 2,you need to complete a whole Operation on Erata Prime, Fenrir III, or Turing to contributeto thisHelldivers 2 Major Order.At the end of the Operation, you’ll see your squad’s contributions to the planet’s campaign to deactivate the TCS.
If the campaigns on all three planets are completed before the Major Order expires, all Helldivers 2 players will get50 Medalsas a reward. On the topic of rewards, this new mission only features a handful of common samples, regardless of difficulty, so it’s not a great option for farming samples in Helldivers 2.© GamesRadar+.
