What is the ‘Major Order not progressing’ error in Helldivers 2

Players report being unable to get their rewards for working towards their Major Order. Usually, this is not because of a bug or glitch. Remember that these are community-wide goals so there’s a chance that players have simply not achieved the set target yet. Some Major Orders require you to complete operations, not just individual missions. This may also be why you aren’t seeing progress in Major Orders.

The Major Order involving the Terminid Control System operates similarly. You need to clear the TCS Installation Progress bar across all four planets Erata Prime, Fenrir III, Meridia, and Turing. This needs to be done together as a community as individual contributions will only tip the odds towards you slightly.

How to claim Major Order rewards in Helldivers 2

These are granted automatically in your account. But some players report being unable to get these Medals to progress in the Warbonds for better gear. Here’s what you can do if you haven’t received your Major Order rewards. Usually, server issues may be the problem, and waiting will resolve the issue.

Restart the game and your device

Some players report that a simple restart can resolve this issue. This may have been an issue on the servers that was resolved by jumping out and getting back into Helldivers 2. Rechecking your internet connection and VPN will also help lower the chances of the issue being on your end. This could ensure that your Major Order status is updated with the latest information.

Check if your game has the latest updates

The latest patch can improve stability in addition to resolving bugs and errors. If you want another option, consider verifying the integrity of your game files. Do this by right-clicking Helldivers 2 in your Steam library and select ‘Properties.’ Here, head to the ‘Installed Files’ section and use this option.

Try to play the game’s co-op missions

Since all players work towards a common major order, teaming up with a friend has a chance of returning your game to normal. You can either do this via the quickplay feature with randoms or with a friend on PC or PS5. Some players reported that playing all the earlier 8 Defense Missions in co-op for the old Major Order helped them receive their rewards.
