When You Drop a Stratagem in Helldivers 2

[AlphaOmegaInfinity]

The fact that getting staggered makes you drop whatever throwable you’re preparing is accurate, hilarious, and almost always terrifying

[Eriq-]

This exact situation has happened shockingly often

[imaran]

'You fired a nuke at the Bile Titan! Where's the Bile Titan, Wesley?!'

'Ooooh...'

[strayexk]

shouldve added a frame where the Bile Titan walks away like
“huh that was weird”
only for it to get demolished by a brand new Cadet in a Hellpod, being deployed for his first mission

[remnai]

perhaps it was a bad idea to let the clumsy guy use a 500kg bomb

[zelectrode]

"We hug...FOR DEMOCRACY!"

*Salutes*

[QuarterAlive]

They say every time a Helldiver sacrifices their life for democracy, A flag of Super Earth is planted where they fell.

[Sarcastican_]

The 500 KG seems like the biggest explosion, but the more you play the game the more it seems to have the smallest damage radius out of all the stratagems.

I've seen bile titans sit directly on top of them and walk away from the explosion like it was just some wind.

[Mathenaut]

Forgot about the Bile Titan being just fine because the 500kg has a hilariously low range for it's animation.

I was playing w/ a friend and he was new so i was showing him around and stuff. We came across a inactive hellbomb on Malevalon. A bot force came out of the woods and started firing on us, one stray bullet dinked the bomb.


Needless to say, we were flying nuggets seconds after.

[Mac_Omegaly]

Hugs are the best final wish a friend who botched a grenade could ask for.

[lunarecklipse]

This is a legitimate strategy to survive large blasts with the shield backpack too

[inditsnotdenon]

Throwing stretegms only for them to get attached to a hunter or charger and immidiately rush towards you with a bonb soon to follow....what a classic feeling

[thefallenonelucifer]

My favorite one of these is there is a guy in a random lobby everyone was down no more reinforcements he got on top of a little cliff-top while being chased by tons of bugs including one of these and he threw down the 500 kg and right at the last second just Dove towards the bug and as he Dove the 500 kg hit and killed him and everything else around and all you could hear him yell was "for democracy" 😂😂😂 dude went so fucking hard for no reason

[SarcasticBroth]

You missed the best part of the titan still being alive at the end lol

[Thebiggestchard]

You know the short is gonna be emotional when it doesn’t loop

[darkiyolo]

"My love for you is as big as a 500kg bomb explosion" coo sentence

[kyledougherty]

"For us, the storm has passed... the war is over. But let us never forget those who journeyed into the howling dark and did not return. For their decision required courage beyond measure; sacrifice, and unshakable conviction that their fight... our fight, was elsewhere. As we start to rebuild, this hillside will remain barren, a memorial to heroes fallen. They ennobled all of us, and they shall not be forgotten." -Lord Hood

[chaosboi]

You're telling me the 500kg actually killed the bile titan AND the liberation percentage increased??! Incredibly rare moment

[DifunctedReble]

And this is why you give the klutz the personal shield. So when they drop the 500 you can hug them and still both live.
