Tactical Information

  • The Airstrike is a very well-rounded and potent stratagem overall, demolishing small to medium enemies while inflicting significant damage to even larger ones such as Charger, Bile Titan or Factory Striders.
  • Automaton Fabricators and Terminid Bug Holes can be destroyed by the explosions from the airstrike. This allows you to destroy these spawners without getting too close.
  • The Eagle Airstrike can destroy the following from a distance:
  • The airstrike is highly efficient at slaughtering massive clusters of enemies and even heavies such as Tanks and destroying enemy spawners.
  • The Eagle releases the bombs in a straight line, perpendicular to the direction of the stratagem beacon's towards the Helldiver's initial position from where they threw the beacon.
    • If the beacon bounces off of an object, the direction will be chosen based off where the beacon finally landed and the initial throwing location
