In the latest update for «Helldivers 2,» a controversial Major Order has been issued by High Command: players are now tasked with the challenge to «Kill One True Flag.» This order has sparked outrage among the Helldiver community, many of whom see it as a blatant affront to their values. However, some players may choose to heed the call of the Automatons and rebel against the government that they feel has betrayed them by targeting the One True Flag.
For those curious about how to carry out this order, even if it comes with severe consequences–including the potential for a death sentence imposed by Super Earth–guidance is available. As tensions rise with the impending emergence of Cyberstan, players should be prepared for persistent attempts by Automatons to sway the Helldivers.
To successfully «kill» the One True Flag, players must acquire this Stratagem from the Masters of Ceremony Warbond for 110 Medals. After securing the Stratagem, it can be activated with the code: Down, Left, Right, Right, Up. However, it’s essential to note that the One True Flag cannot be destroyed using standard attack methods. Instead, players must employ creative strategies–either by utilizing the One True Flag as a melee weapon against another Helldiver or by submitting it to an Automaton Fabricator, which will obliterate both the player and the flag. Alternatively, throwing the One True Flag into lava on the planet Fury within the Xzar Sector is another viable option.
Upon returning to the ship after the act of defiance, players will notice a harsh crimson hue enveloping their surroundings. Despite this dramatic aesthetic change, the game will remain relatively unresponsive; there will be no comment from NPCs, and your Major Order status will not be affected. What’s more, Helldivers collectively aim to destroy 1,000,000 One True Flags, but no tangible rewards in the form of Medals will be granted for this endeavor. The only fallout is the stigma attached to the act of defection from what some view as a managed democracy.
This Major Order appears to serve more as lore enhancement within the «Helldivers 2» universe rather than a straightforward gameplay element. The Automatons are believed to have hacked communication channels from Super Earth, aiming to mislead Helldivers from reaching their home world of Cyberstan. As a result, players are encouraged to remain focused on their missions in Merak instead of engaging with this dubious directive to destroy the One True Flag.
