Helldivers 2 players want Arrowhead to buff the Eagle 500kg Bomb, which they think should have a bigger blast radius. Since its initial release, Helldivers 2 has introduced numerous balance changes based on player feedback. For instance, the game increased the Flamethrower's damage and reduced Bile Spewer's movement speed. Also, it recently released a major update containing a round of buffs to weapons like Punisher Plazma, Blitzer, Diligence, and Peacemaker.
Updates for Helldivers 2 are usually done to re-balance the game without altering its core mechanics. Not only do these patches bring buffs and nerfs to weapons, but they also touch on stratagems that enhance the player's combat capabilities. Over the past few months, a number of stratagems have received balance changes that increase or decrease their usage rate.
Helldivers 2 players recently urged Arrowhead to increase the Eagle 500kg Bomb's damage radius, which they think is smaller than it should be. One player, who goes by keimdhall, pointed out that the stratagem's damage range should be increased to kill enemies within a larger area. Some also indicated that Helldivers 2's Eagle 500kg Bomb needs a damage buff because it struggles to destroy outposts and some heavily armored enemies in the game.
Helldivers 2 Players Think Eagle 500kg Bomb Needs Bigger Damage Radius
Fellow Helldivers 2 players claim the Eagle 500kg Bomb has a weird hitbox that should be adjusted as soon as possible. They think it either needs a bigger damage radius or a smaller visual effect. On the contrary, many players indicate that this offensive-type stratagem is quite good as it is. It's reportedly one of the best stratagems in Helldivers 2 and a must-have in bug missions.
The Eagle 500kg Bomb is an offensive stratagem that allows players to blow up enemies within an area. It has a devastating firepower that can be used to destroy outposts. When timed correctly, the Eagle 500kg Bomb even takes down some heavily armored monsters in the game. To unlock this stratagem, Helldivers 2 players must reach level 15 and spend 10,000 Requisition Slips.
Stratagems in Helldivers 2 are combat abilities players can use to change the course of the war against Automaton and Terminid enemies. Some increase the user's defensive capabilities, while others offer devastating firepower. They can be activated multiple times during missions. In order to use stratagems in Helldivers 2, players need to input their code in the correct sequence. The only way to unlock them is to spend in-game credits identified as Requisition Slips.
