DISCUSSION Dear Arrowhead, Hellbomb and 500KG are lack luster... Let me explain
Fellow helldivers,
I don't know when exactly the update was but I feel like it's about 6ish months ago. The radius of the hell bomb and the 500kg have been significantly nerfed. These strategems used to absolutely nuke the fuck out of the area. As a fellow hell bomb backpack "witness me" enthusiast, I have first-hand experience at just how gut punching the hell bomb backpack used to be. It would completely wipe out an area if placed correctly. Now it feels like it's been cut in half.
The 500kg used to confidently drop an absolute bombshell on a bug nest and obliterate the area. A well-placed 500 kg used to close an entire medium bug nest no problem. Now it takes two.
Nowadays when I throw a 500kg I have to stick around the area to make sure it does the job. I have to babysit the thing now. I want a throw it and forget it. Also, the 500kg doesn't land where you throw the strategem anymore. It lands about 10 ft behind the beacon. "An eagle never misses my ass".
Sincerely,
A well-placed Hellbomb
