The Eagle 500kg Bomb meme originates from the 2024 cooperative shooter Helldivers 2, where it serves as one of the most powerful and visually spectacular Stratagems available to players. The specific input code—Up, Right, Down, Down, Down—became an overnight internet sensation as players shared clips of the massive explosion failing to kill targets due to its deceptive blast radius, or conversely, using it to 'solve' minor problems with extreme prejudice. It represents the game's core themes of chaotic 'Managed Democracy' and over-the-top military satire. Fans use the template to signal a disproportionate response to a situation or to celebrate the sheer spectacle of Super Earth’s firepower.
