New Major Orders have come through from High Command in Helldivers 2, and it requires players to "Kill One True Flag". This abomination of a Major Order is an insult to Helldivers everywhere, but some Helldivers might be listening to the Automatons and declare their separation from the government that has lied to them by destroying the One True Flag.

If you want to know how to defect in Helldivers 2 by destroying the One True Flag, then we've got you covered, even if that would be seen as treason punishable by death by Super Earth. Be warned, as the push for Cyberstan becomes a reality, death by death, the Automatons will continue to try to persuade our Helldivers.

How to Destroy the One True Flag in Helldivers 2

The One True Flag is a Stratagem purchased from the Masters of Ceremony Warbond. Once you have the One True Flag for 110 Medals on Page 3, you can bring it into battle with the Stratagem Code: Down, Left, Right, Right, Up. With the One True Flag, it's time to destroy it, but be warned, the One True Flag is indestructible to usual attack methods.

To Kill One True Flag in Helldivers 2, players must use the One True Flag to kill another Helldiver. This is achieved simply by using the One True Flag Stratagem as a melee weapon. Alternatively, you can carry the One True Flag into an Automaton Fabricator, which will grind you and the One True Flag up to dust, or throw it into the lava on Fury in the Xzar Sector.

What Does Destroying the One True Flag Do in Helldivers 2?

Upon returning to your ship after killing the One True Flag, the lights will be a harsh red. All the lights within your ship will be a bright red, but that's all there is to it for now. The NPCs will not make any comments, and your Major Order will remain unchanged. In fact, Helldivers globally will need to destroy 1,000,000 One True Flags, but there's no reward for Medals. All that's left is the shame in knowing you've defected from managed democracy.

The Major Order to destroy the One True Flag has no reward and has been designed as a lore-addition to Helldivers 2. In lore, the Automatons have hacked the communication dispatches of Super Earth to try to distract and deter Helldivers from reaching their homeworld of Cyberstan. The Major Order is an attempt to remove Helldivers' 200,000,000 reserves, so you should ignore it and focus on Merak.
