In the world of Helldivers 2, players often face unexpected challenges, particularly when it comes to dealing with formidable enemy tanks. Recently, one player encountered a shocking scenario that highlighted the resilience of these tanks in an unusual way, prompting a call for help from the game's developers.
A user lamented the frustrating experience of their attempt to eliminate an armored foe, only to realize that these machines seem resistant to even the most powerful explosives. This experience was shared in a Reddit post where the player expressed their disbelief over a 500kg bomb failing to have any effect.
In their gameplay footage, the player deployed the Eagle 500kg Bomb—an explosive device designed for high-impact strikes against nearby targets. Fans of the players were swift to articulate their discontent with the bomb's efficacy, noting that while it could devastate targets close by, its power seemed diminished beyond that range.
Unfortunately, the enemy tanks in Helldivers 2 proved to be even more resilient than anticipated. Following the bomb's detonation, which illuminated the surroundings with a blinding burst of orange, the tank remained unscathed, leaving the player’s character as little more than a ragdoll in the aftermath. Others echoed similar sentiments in different forums, adding to the chorus of complaints about the overwhelming strength of these tanks.
One commenter shared their own struggle, detailing how a tank obliterated them and a teammate with devastating firepower, lamenting that the machine should at least have endured the consequences of its actions instead of allowing itself to remain intact.
Fortunately, it seems the developers are acknowledging the issue. Responding to concerns about tanks with the ability to withstand significant damage, a member of the development team agreed that the situation required attention. This hope for a resolution hints that future updates may address the tanks' extraordinary durability.
In the meantime, players are urged to strategize and seek effective ways to counteract the formidable tanks present in Helldivers 2.
