Discover how to use Eagle 500kg Bomb, one of the most powerful and deadly stratagems in Arrowhead Game Studios’ Helldivers 2.
The Eagle 500kg Bomb is undoubtedly one of the most powerful stratagems in Helldivers 2. When called in, the Eagle Fighter drops the 500kg Bomb at the targeted location, dealing enormous damage to enemies and structures within its vicinity.
Acting like a mini-nuke, this stratagem requires heavy caution. If the tables turn, the Eagle 500kg Bomb can wipe out your entire squad in the worst-case scenario. Don’t fret—this guide will help you master the Eagle 500kg Bomb and use it efficiently in Helldivers 2.

You can unlock the Eagle 500kg Bomb at the ship’s Management Console once you reach level 15. Upon reaching the required level, unlock the stratagem with 10,000 Requisition Slips. Being one of the most expensive stratagems in Helldivers 2, it is worth investing your hard-earned Requisition Slips in it.
You can earn Requisition Slips by completing missions, Major Orders, and side objectives. Moreover, certain points of interest marked with a yellow R icon grant you Requisition Slips and even Super Credits.

How To Use the Eagle 500KG Bomb in Helldivers 2
Once equipped in one of the four Stratagem slots, you can call in the Eagle 500kg Bomb during your missions using the input code: Up, Right, Down, Down, Down to deal a devastating impact on the targeted zone. While it annihilates everything within its vicinity, it has a small radius and damage fall-off.
Aim precisely to land the 500kg Bomb directly on top of the enemies to maximize efficiency. Consider using the G-23 Stun Grenade, obtained from Cutting Edge Warbond, to stun the enemies and ensure a perfect hit. Once deployed, the bomb detonates after one second.
Additionally, note that the 500kg Bomb drops from behind the Helldiver who activated the stratagem, similar to the Eagle Strafing Run. This can lead to unexpected outcomes, especially on slopes or elevated surfaces.
Once expended, the stratagem should be rearmed and has a cooldown period. Unlocking ship modules like Pit Crew Hazard Pay and Expanded Weapons Bay reduces your rearm cooldown and grants one additional use per rearm for all your Eagle stratagems, respectively.
