Recent Helldivers 2 orders revive criticism over continued weakness of 500KG Bomb Strategem

The Eagle 500KG Bomb Stratagem is one of the least liked in Helldivers 2, primarily due to how its splash and animation do not reflect its damage. Now, the criticism has ramped up with a recent order asking players to use the 500KG Bomb to strike down 200 enemies.

“The Personal Order yesterday was a painful reminder on the bomb needing a far larger damage radius,” reads the title of a July 14 Reddit thread which goes into detail on how the troubled Stratagem functions, and criticizes its low damage radius and long call-in time that allows enemies to move outside of the blast. The 500KG Bomb is supposed to be the creme de la creme of Eagle Stratagems, but is often shunned in favor of the much more popular Eagle Airstrike that can be used several times in quick succession.
