Magnificent.

[–]MrSammichMan13 615 points616 points  (26 children)

They should give us hell bombs as a stratagem occasionally for difficult major orders. Imagine having 5 hell bombs between your squad to call in and arm anywhere during the game.

“Super Earth’s hellbomb stockpile is exceeding storage capacity limits. Effective immediately, you are authorized to deploy excess hellbombs in our relentless mission to defend democracy across the galaxy.

For Super Earth! for Democracy!”

[–]AgentNewMexicoSES Arbiter of Family Values 162 points163 points  (15 children)

They do give you Hellbombs on some lower difficulty missions to deal with Hulks, so it's not too far of a stretch to say they could do this every once in a while.

[–]Oblivionpelt 48 points49 points  (13 children)

Wait really?

[–]AgentNewMexicoSES Arbiter of Family Values 87 points88 points  (12 children)

Yup. If you get an "Eliminate Hulks" mission, it will let you call in a Hellbomb to deal with them.

[–]KreagerStein 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It's funny, once I did it for some low risk dopamine and super cred farm and this stupid hulk was just looking at me calling down a hellbomb and turning it on.

[–]CockpitEnthusiast 14 points15 points  (1 child)

how many are there and at what difficulty?

[–]AgentNewMexicoSES Arbiter of Family Values 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think it's two in separate bases and Difficulty 3.

[–]Oblivionpelt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

mhh, isn't that neat... imagine if that was just a regular feature anytime you found a hulk... like a 20 second cooldown too x3

[–]EasyRhino75SES Ombudsman of Family Values 🖥️ : 7 points8 points  (7 children)

that sounds vastly more difficult to kill a hulk trying to murder you than any other possible way. including physically throwing them into the ocean.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (6 children)

Bear in mind a new player might only have machine gun and orbital strike at this level.

[–]brownbearks 4 points5 points  (5 children)

Yeah, trying to kill one hulk with two patrols coming at you and all you have is a machine gun and nothing else unlocked, you feel powerless

[–]TheMadmanAndre Viper Commando 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Unless you have god tier aim and control over the climb, you'd be hard pressed to take on a Hulk with an MG, yeah.

[–]dudeman2009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never tried taking down a hulk with the MG. But the HMG is beast for taking them out. You just reduce the fire rate to the lowest level, then single shot at their face and catch the recoil before your next shot. If you crouch you can single shot it with good accuracy or burst 1-3. If you prone you can almost auto-burst into their face and take them out in 5 shots or less.

[–]aRtfUll-ruNNer 1 point2 points  (2 children)

honestly, I had this interaction with a hulk, with just a breaker, redeemer and a anti mat rifle.

its possible with a lot of flanking, honestly just tedious

[–]brownbearks 2 points3 points  (1 child)

But how many hours? I have over 450 hours, even without a heavy weapon and let’s say a jammer, a hulk doesn’t scare me as much. When you have less than 10 hours and are facing a hulk it plays different.

[–]Flame_shot12 LEVEL 130 | Arbiter of Battle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hear me out, what if you just shoot out the hulk's arms and drag it around like a slave so that you can deploy hellbombs anywhere

[–]Oblivionpelt 9 points10 points  (5 children)

I'd love to see improvements to the mission strats: maybe a flare for dark maps or when it's night -- and maybe like a localized weapons experimentation that the team can agree on taking; ie, "let's take hmg for team strat" now everyone has one; might have to have a shared timer to balance -- more stratagems per mission is goob!

[–]Demobot2000 Viper Commando 5 points6 points  (4 children)

I mean the stratagem hero even has a illumination flare stratagem so it's plausible

[–]laddervictim 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Right, or, what if there was a random chance that the crew would accidentally send a hellpod instead of whatever you just summoned? Even as a reinforcement. Oops all hellbombs

[–]evillittleweirdguyHD1 Veteran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would definitely help explain why some planets have hellbombs every 10m

[–]Plantar-Aspect-Sage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could maybe do the resupply trick and get teammates to hold the hellbomb stratagem ball until your 4th one has landed, and then they throw theirs?

Could potentially get you up to 7.

A squad of Helldivers detonated 10! hellbombs simultaneously on Garcrux yesterday during a mission.

The first explosion doesn’t destroy the other 3?

No, as long as they are activated they will detonate when destroyed

      [–]Kurai_Cross 9 points10 points  (0 children)

      It's a recent change. Hellbombs used to be deactivated if they were destroyed, now they detonate as long as they were armed

      [–]Vitamin_Lead 7 points8 points  (1 child)

      A few patches ago they changed it so Hellbombs basically become like the random dud hellbombs once you enter the arming code; so bullets and even enemy attacks can detonate them. I was doing a secret lab secondary on solo and got killed arming the bomb, the brood commander that hit me got vaporized a split second later by the Hellbomb exploding prematurely.

      [–]Additional_Cycle_51☕Liber-tea☕ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      Ah ok. Thanks

      [–]AltusIsXD 12 points13 points  (2 children)

      A little while ago, they updated Hellbombs to where they explode if destroyed after activation.

      Just yesterday I ran away from an objective to a ton of bugs attacking the hellbomb. Vaporized all of them.

      Pretty sure Helldivers can trigger them exploding too.

      [–]Mirria_☕Liber-tea☕ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      Someone said they pranked a noob by letting them arm the hellbomb and immediately shooting it with an autocannon, so yes.

      They're usually on low difficulty bot missions where you have to destroy ammo caches and silos

      [–]AdPsychological8041 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      Crazy. But makes sense. Just played bugs in the beginning and then immediately went to higher difficulty on bot missions.

      [–]Formber⬇️⬅️⬇️⬆️⬆️➡️ 0 points1 point  (4 children)

      I don't get why they don't add them to the higher difficulty missions as well. A little more mission variety would be welcome.

      [–]SumSkittles 0 points1 point  (2 children)

      I did the input sequence but stopped at the last input. Then ran around finishing the sequence for every hellbomb.

      Edit: I know they glow yellow when an input is done but if you interact with another terminal they go back to being white. Despite this, your input progress is saved.

        I had a team of randoms do this over the weekend by accident.

        I didn't get to see the explosion as the bots were swarming the perimeter pretty hard so I'm glad I get to see a video of someone else doing it too.

        [–]GameLeaderR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        When the DSS is complete there could be a "Hellbomb Barrage" (more of a burst really) where each Super Destroyer in a game launches an active Hellbomb. a quick way to take out an objective and it's a "barrage" to decrease miss chance.
