Whereas they’re nonetheless busy with their newest large activity, a current order in Helldivers 2 has seen criticism of the Eagle 500KG bomb come again to the fore. Why? Properly, as a result of it is nonetheless killing barely something that does not lie throughout the epicentre of its blasts.
Hey, if nothing else, the actual fact we have returned to speaking a couple of stratagem that people have been wanting modified for an excellent whereas now might imply that Arrowhead is lastly gathering information to assist just do that. Plus it means a restrict to the quantity of chatter that may be being had concerning the thought of splitting enemy forces in two and whether or not or not that is a tactic that’d make Solar Tzu tear his hair out.
Arrowhead’s been doing numerous asking of us to kill a bunch of issues utilizing completely different weapons recently, with a current instance being it asking gamers by way of a Private Order to do in 200 foes utilizing the 500KG bomb. Clearly, you do not have to do each considered one of these orders, since all they do is present some further medals on your bother, however the of us who’ve weren’t finest happy to seek out that the system nonetheless would not do what they need it to.
That factor, as gamers have been saying all the way in which again in April, is to supply a harm radius which matches its nature as an enormous bomb that unleashes an enormous growth. The issue being that it appears to solely inflict large harm on a comparatively small space on the centre of the blast, making it, within the eyes of some gamers, work much more like a precision missile than a bomb ought to.
Whereas there’s been some debate as to what precisely’s inflicting this – with theories just like the bomb probably having a cone-shaped space of impact, and it being extra simply obstructed by terrain than it ought to be, having undergone some beginner testing following this newest order – there nonetheless would not look to be a consensus. Properly, other than gamers pondering they don’t seem to be persistently getting sufficient bang for his or her buck, even when the bomb’s nonetheless very efficient at killing helldivers who do not get out of the way in which quick sufficient.
“At present the 500kg is just for destroying buildings and titans, and it may possibly even be unreliable for the latter,” one participant wrote, “I do not perceive why it ought to be slower than orbital precision strike (OPS), as presently OPS does most issues higher, even when [the] 500kg theoretically can do extra harm.” This much more succinctly: “Simply. Make. Bomb. Go. Growth.”
The excellent news, just a few are hoping, is that the order could have given Arrowhead some extra information on the bomb that it’d be capable of use to enhance what it affords, assuming the studio is not advantageous with the place it presently matches into the sport’s arsenal.
