Helldivers 2 fans have a new weapon to fight about in the form of the GP-31 Ultimatum, a 4,500 damage monster that effectively serves as a delete button for some of the game's most troublesome targets.
Like clockwork, it's ignited a debate over whether or not it's too dang OP. Introduced as part of the Helldivers 2 Servants of Freedom Warbond, the Ultimatum is a secondary weapon described as "a pistol front-loaded with a single, powerful explosive.
The weight of the projectile limits the weapon's range." Simply calling it a "powerful explosive" might be understating things, though, as this is basically a mini-nuke along the lines of what you might see in a Fallout game.
The Ultimatum is indeed a bit hard to aim, as you've got to work hard to correct for its arcing flight path, but if you hit just about any target it's immediately done for.
That even goes for notoriously sturdy objective targets like Detector Towers, Jammers, Science Labs, Fabricators, and more. You only need a quick browse through the Helldivers 2 subreddit to see that the Ultimatum is the hot-button topic of the moment, though the war is admittedly a bit lopsided.
