The SG-451 COOKOUT： Testing the only PUMP ACTION INCENDIARY SHOTGUN in Helldivers 2 (INSANE DAMAGE)

Daniel tests Helldivers 2’s SG-451 Cookout, a 320-damage, 16-shell pump-action incendiary shotgun from Freedom’s Flame. Against Automatons, fire penetrates shields and handles mobs, but slow cycling, weak one-shot performance, mortars, and a Hulk encounter hinder testing. Against Terminids, it staggers and burns Chargers and other enemies, though damage-over- time feels slower and swarms repeatedly overwhelm him.

Gaming remains practical content; months away and repeated deaths temper enthusiasm for fire- based weapons.
