Stress Testing Helldivers 2's Most EXPLOSIVE Gun - INSANE DAMAGE!

The R-36 Eruptor is an explosive, medium-armor-penetrating primary weapon inflicting 420 damage from page two of the Democratic Detonation Warbond in Helldivers 2.

The Eruptor demonstrates strong damage and area-of-effect capabilities against small and medium-armored targets, but suffers from a four-round magazine, slow handling, slow reload times, and self-damage hazards in close quarters.

Evaluations against bugs and Automatons reveal difficulties against heavy armor like Bile Titans without hitting weak points, resulting in an overall weapon score of 6.2 out of 10.
