High Command has issued Helldivers 2‘s latest Liberty Day Major Order asking Super Earth’s finest to procure explosives from Automatons for fireworks displays. There’s one problem though: Marfark and Zosma aren’t showing any liberation progress because supply lines haven’t reached them yet.
MAJOR ORDER: Preparations for Liberty Day have begun. All over the Galaxy, the spirit of rebirth and renewal begins to permeate the ventricles of our citizens’ hearts.

High Command wants these planets held by Monday when the timer expires, but getting there requires liberating gateway worlds first. Community efforts currently focus on Zzaniah Prime while Marfark’s route through Bekvam III awaits.
Liberation Route & Priority Targets in the Helldivers 2 Liberty Day Major Order
Marfark and Zosma can’t be accessed without establishing warp connections through neighboring planets first. Bekvam III provides the gateway to Marfark on one side of the map, while Zzaniah Prime opens access to Zosma on the other.
Current active diver numbers show that the community has chosen Zzaniah Prime as the priority target. The Democracy Space Station orbits there too, providing just a tad faster liberation rates through its passive “Operational Support” bonus.
Here is the complete progression strategy for the Liberty Day Major Order broken down into clear steps:
This sequential approach might look like it splits community forces between two fronts, but veteran players have already spotted something smarter.
Veteran Divers Exploit Circumvallation for Maximum Efficiency
Here’s where veteran players spotted something clever that most casual divers would miss. Liberating Zzaniah Prime won’t just open access to Zosma. It will isolate the planet entirely, triggering Circumvallation mechanics that automatically reduce enemy resistance by triggering what is called a “Siege Liberation.”
This means once Zzaniah Prime falls and the siege kicks in on Zosma, forces can actually split up instead of everyone camping one planet waiting for progress bars to fill. The siege will handle the rest automatically while part of the blob pushes through Bekvam III toward Marfark on the other side of the map.
Veterans who’ve been playing for a while know this planetary liberation mechanic (also see: Defense Gambits) well, so they’re already directing (via the DSS) people toward Zzaniah Prime first to take advantage of it. Whether Arrowhead designed this Major Order with Circumvallation in mind or players just found the efficient path through experience doesn’t really matter.
What matters is you’ll finish both objectives faster using siege mechanics than grinding through pure sequential liberation. The community’s already consolidating around Zzaniah Prime based on current active diver numbers, which suggests enough people understand this approach to make it work before Monday’s deadline hits.
Does this Major Order feel like meaningful Liberty Day preparation or just another resource grab disguised as celebration? Will the community complete both planets before Monday’s deadline? Let us know in the comments below!
