The Biggest Hole in Helldivers 2

Ойындар

We discovered that explosions deform terrain in Helldivers 2 so we decided to max that out and dig ourselves a huge hole.

    Assuming the 500kg bombs use a stronger explosive then TNT, (we will assume COMP-B, since it’s common in ordnance today with equivalency of 1.33) we get 106,400kg of tnt equivalent. This is roughly equal to 10 MOABs or little less than half of the PEPCON plant disaster in 1988

  • @TrecherousMonki
    @TrecherousMonki10 күн бұрын

    Ideas if you want to try for an even bigger hole: 1. Start on elevated terrain. You'll get more room before you hit the floor 2. Use explosive weapons and your grenades and see if they contribute much while strategems are on cooldown. Maybe even use the infinite grenade glitch if that's not patched. 3. Use more stratagems. I saw a lot of "wasted" picks that can't damage terrain.

    We are going to look into starting on high ground and see if anything comes of it. And one thing that did get cut from the video is we tested with a few other things, including the precision airstrike which I thought would be perfect to spam between 500kgs but it actually has no tangible impact on deformation. 500kg was far and away the most efficient that we found.

  • @steeljawX

    @@defendthehouse I think the precision strike does deform the ground. Not to the extent the 500kg does, but with it's accelerated cooldown, you should be able to get it to "hole" more instead of circle crater. But the precision strike and all 3 orbital bombardments deform the ground. It just isn't concentrated at all. If you want a WWI No-Man's land, use the barrages. If you want a hole, the 500kg and precision are probably what you're wanting. An idea you should probably test out because I've been trying to play around with it and I've not seen any kind of results. Arrowhead neutered the Eruptor due to it's shrapnel, however I don't think shrapnel was the issue, it was the fact that it was the Eruptor being a gun and it essentially shotgunning shrapnel from the bullet, which might have miscalculated the shrapnel as both shrapnel and Eruptor bullet. I've been testing this with the frag grenade because that also has shrapnel. If what they were saying about the Eruptor's shrapnel was true, I should be seeing similar things with the frag grenade. So far I haven't gotten 1 shot from an invisible force. I haven't taken damage out of no where after 1 exploded. I can see the shrapnel generally as white streaks. So when they say "shrapnel was invisible and dealing more damage than it should." I'm testing to see if they're talking about shrapnel hard stop or shrapnel (from the Eruptor because it was a gun and the ricochet mechanic was added janking things up.) The tests are basically can you 1 shot chargers with a well timed frag grenade and if you throw a frag grenade onto like a tank or a hulk onto the armor, are you going to get killed by invisible shrapnel moving at the speed of light?

    It actually looks like the devs did something interesting in how the 'hole' is made. It really looks like you went down just a little ways then hit a water mesh, but apart from that no further excavation was really gained, it terraformed new ground up all around the area, just to make it 'look' deeper, but it actually got significantly taller than deep it seems like? Something I'd try is overlay an 'x' shape on the deeper ring it makes, not put 4 fresh 500kgs on those spots and see if the center region between them all dents sharply inward.

    I don't believe it's something that can be calculated, the explosive force that is. We don't know what is in the 500kg bombs and each explosive material gives a different energy yield when detonated. Like the kind of energy you get from conflagrating 500kg of blackpowder is very different from 500kg of C4, RDX, or HMX going off. Both will go boom, but the latter 3 will release all of that energy off faster and in a greater quantity than blackpowder can manage as it burns rather than explodes. So not knowing the actual contents of what is in the 500kg, it's very difficult to say what kind of yield that amount of ordnance actually would amount to in terms of weight of TNT equivalence without actually outright doing calculations assuming what could be the boom-material in those.
