The Portable Hellbomb allows players in Helldivers 2 to carry the mighty explosive power of Super Earth on their back, whether that's for a heroic sacrifice, a deployment, or a tactical retreat. The Portable Hellbomb is one of the most useful and destructive weapons in Helldivers 2, so you're going to need to know how to use it.
Not only does the Portable Hellbomb require a specific Warbond, but it also requires you to know how to arm it. After all, if you take the Portable Hellbomb without knowing how it works, you're either going to walk around with an explosive backpack with no way to arm it, or you're going to get yourself caught in the center of the blast.

How to Get the Portable Hellbomb in Helldivers 2
The Portable Hellbomb is part of the Servants of Freedom Warbond, which costs 1,000 Super Credits. Players can find the Portable Hellbomb on Page 3 for 110 Medals. After purchasing the Servants of Freedom Warbond and obtaining the Portable Hellbomb, you can add it to your loadout as part of the Support Stratagems under the B-100 Portable Hellbomb, with the Stratagem Code: Down, Right, Up, Up, Up.
This is a great piece of equipment to bring, as although it will replace any backpack that you intend to bring with you, it has unlimited uses, meaning you can repeatedly call it in, as long as you're patient enough to wait for the 257-second cooldown.
How to Use the Portable Hellbomb in Helldivers 2
The Portable Hellbomb can be activated by pressing 5 on PC, or by double-tapping Down on the D-Pad for PlayStation/Xbox. After arming the Portable Hellbomb, you can drop it by holding X on PC or Down on the D-Pad. Upon arming the Portable Hellbomb, you will have around 10 seconds before it detonates and unleashes a deadly blast, giving you a short window to run to safety.
The Portable Hellbomb is extremely destructive, and it's great for destroying objectives and enemy camps. The Portable Hellbomb is great against Vox Engines and other Tank enemies across the Automaton, Illuminate, and Terminid forces, so try to preserve the one on your back for when a real meaty enemy has arrived, or if there are too many enemies for a mere gun to handle.
