You really have to angle this thing

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.
