Gameplay Tips

• Chargers, Hulks, Tanks, and Bile Titans can all be destroyed with one 500kg bomb.
• One 500kg bomb can also be used to destroy the inactive Dropships on the Sabotage Air Base mission.
• One 500 kg bomb can destroy Automaton Fabricators, Terminid Bug Holes, Detector Towers, inactive Stratagem Jammers, Illegal Broadcast Towers, Rogue Research Stations, Shrieker Nests, and Spore Spewers.
• Liquid-Ventilated Cockpit does not affect the 500kg until the Expanded Weapons Bay upgrade is unlocked since the base 500kg only has 1 payload.
