AHelldivers 2player might have just set a record by killing 118 enemies with a single Hellbomb.

“Did you strike a clown car? My 500kgs never hit anything outside a whisper’s radius,” one player writes in a comment that I can really empathize with. “Do we have an estimate on how many enemies it’s possible to have on-screen? Not sure I’ve even seen 118 enemies in a game at once before,” adds another comment. Now that I think about it, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen 100 enemies at once either.

In less-than-stellar news for players,Helldivers 2’s review-bomb cape might not be happening after all. When asked about the proposed cape, that Arrowhead’s own developers were enthused about, in the game’s Discord, one community manager gave a response that implied the cape never even existed in the first place. That’s a lot of hope down the drain.

Helldivers 2’s new Major Order offers a shiny new dual-cannon Emancipator mech as a reward - but only if the community can overturn its losing streak.
