Setting off a Hellbomb in Helldivers 2
Helldivers 2 gives you plenty of weapons and tools to use as you engage in galactic warfare, but none is quite as, well, explosive as a Hellbomb. What makes these bombs so memorable isn’t just the massive amount of hellfire they bring upon your enemies, but how much of a spectacle Helldivers 2 makes of setting one off. You have to enter a code to get the ball rolling, pressing your d-pad in a specific sequence you’d never pull off by accident. It’s a small detail that adds to the weight of what you’re doing as you set this bomb up to annihilate enemy forces. After you’ve punched in the code, you’ve gotta run out of the blast zone, and every second between activation and explosion feels like a full minute. Then, the bomb goes off and you level an entire area. You’ll reflect on the implications later, but at the moment, it feels pretty fucking cool.
