Helldivers 2 is buffing the iconic Eagle 500KG Bomb to the level it was “supposed to be” at all along: “Big booms should boom big”

Arrowhead has revealed another of the incoming changes we can expect to roll out in Helldivers 2 tomorrow as part of its upcoming buff-heavy patch, and this one is set to make the iconic Eagle 500KG Bomb Stratagem even more deadly. 

In a short video shared to Twitter today, creative director Johan Pilestedt and design director Niklas Malmborg reveal that the radius of the big ol’ bomb is getting larger, with Malmborg saying: “It is now what it’s supposed to be.” What do the devs mean by this? Pilestedt explains that the damage radius should match what “the visual explosion says that it should be,” so if you ever felt like enemies were inexplicably avoiding damage from big blasts that they definitely should have been caught in, then you might have been right.
