Unexploded HellBomb not utilizing by many players
When I play on difficulty level 8, I often find unexploded HellBombs lying around. I like to trigger them by leading Titans or large groups of enemies to them. In a recent round, I managed to take out 8 Titans with just 5 HellBombs, creating some breathing room for my team.

However, I’ve noticed that some players ignore the HellBombs and prefer to use other strategies. When they run low on supplies or reinforcements, they sometimes rely on their primary weapons to deal with tough enemies. Just a friendly reminder: HellBombs are very powerful, and they have a short fuse. Shoot them with your handgun, and they’ll explode in 2 or 3 seconds.

Those random Hellbombs have saved my ass so many times. I remember around when I first started playing, all I had was an auto cannon, eagle airtrike left, and a friend who had an empty railgun. I spotted one of these while being chased by 2 chargers and a titan. Chucked a grenade at it, ran by it, and killed all 3 while not dying myself.

These things are so clutch at times. Also incredibly satisfying to set off and watch that counter spring up to 50+ kills.

I got 98 kills from one once.

I point em out with Q, but it's un-associated and just gives a generic callout. They DEFINITELY need to be associated with the "HELLBOMB" callout and not "Over here" because some players are like "??????"

They are cool, it's annoying to trigger em sometimes though... they can spawn in weird or annoying places.

Me personally I just haven't found like hardly any of them recently, and I've never been near one while in a pinch.

They are good though, I'd like to hope most players know what they are? The game doesn't really TELL you but if you have a moment to like look at one you should be able to figure it out.

They do spawn in very random places. I remember seeing one on top of a stone pillar that was ~50 feet high... lotta good that one will do, assuming you can even hit it in the first place.
I remember the first time I saw one in the world, only reason I even knew what it was, was because I had a mission just before where I had to call down a hellbomb.

Wait... You can use them?! :o

All you have to do is shoot them and they go off?!

WELL, the more you know!

They're pretty massive explosions, so don't stick around or do it from range. Even the bugs can set them off. I watched a charger walk into one, attack it, and explode.

There are some hint, mostly spawn over a charger carcass or something with blinking lights indicating it, but I know your point

It associated with the planets you are on, if the planet have some sort of battlefield maps, you will find them in very large amounts, that's whr I got my 5 hellbombs kills from
