Helldivers 2 player drops 16 consecutive 500kg payloads on the game's new gunship factory for science—discovers hellbombs are their only reliable kryptonite

The Super Earth Spokesperson in Helldivers 2 looks very confused as a massive explosion rocks the earth behind him.

Helldivers 2 has several objectives that can be flattened with enough heavy ordinance—walking barrages, orbital lasers, and a community favourite: the 500kg bomb, an explosive payload so huge it feels like a mini-nuke when it goes off.

In case you aren't carrying any of those, though, Helldivers 2 is nice enough to give you a hellbomb stratagem for its 'destroy X' objectives—which is a nice (and slower) alternative for the unprepared. Unless you're fighting Automaton gunships, in which case: it's the only option.
