NUX-223 Hellbomb

The Hellbomb is provided when the Helldivers need to destroy a stationary target.

Unlock Requirement
The NUX-223 Hellbomb is a standard-issue stratagem, available to all Helldivers regardless of rank. However, Helldiver Command only provides this stratagem during missions that require the destruction of a stationary enemy target (such as Cyborg AA guns, Bug nests or Illuminate beacons).

Stratagem Code
Players must enter the following sequence, using the controller d-pad, in order to call down a NUX-223 Hellbomb during a mission:

Cyborg AA Guns, Bug Nests and Illuminate Beacons can also be eliminated using most anti-tank weapons and stratagems, such as (but not limited to): Note that not all weapons and stratagems are effective against all targets, particularly if the area of effect for their anti-tank or explosive element is especially small. While the MLS-4X Commando can theoretically destroy objectives, its missiles require precise angle and distance as they do not home in on objectives; to make things worse, any nearby enemies will attract the missiles instead.
 * Anti-tank Supply stratagems:
 * EAT&#8209;17 Expendable Anti-Tank weapons;
 * REC-6 Demolisher satchel charges;
 * RL-112 Recoilless Rifle shots;
 * M-25 Rumbler mortar grenades.
 * The anti-tank rounds fired by the AT-47 Anti-Tank Emplacement and several vehicles:
 * The EXO-51 Lumberer Exosuit's cannon arm;
 * The M5-32 HAV Heavy Assault Vehicle's turret;
 * The TD-110 Bastion Tank Destroyer's main gun.
 * Anti-tank capable Offensive stratagems:
 * Vindicator Dive Bomb (when upgraded to the Mk3 'Vindicator Bunker Buster Bomb')
 * Airstrike
 * Missile Barrage
 * Thunderer Barrage
 * Shredder Missile Strike

Also note that the only Offensive stratagems capable of reliably destroying a shielded Illuminate Beacon are the Thunderer Barrage and Shredder Missile Strike; the Missile Barrage's spread is random and it will occasionally manage it, but all other approaches require that the beacon's shield be disabled first.
