Each cluster bomb explodes into 8 submunitions, for a total of 64 with no upgrades. Keep note the cluster bomb airbursts to release its bomblets so the projectile itself won't hit its target.

Tactical Information

• A large amount of small bombs will land in the target zone and kill most small to medium enemies in the area.
• When called, the strike will be perpendicular to the direction you were facing when thrown.
• The cluster bomb can completely devastate a large area. Be careful of your fellow helldivers before throwing this stratagem out.
• Most small and medium enemies in the area will be annihilated by the bombs. Use them against large groups of small and medium targets
• Sometimes, you'll get lucky and one of the bombs will fall into a fabricator vent or bughole, destroying it, but don't count on it.
• Like other explosive stratagems, Eagle Cluster Bomb can destroy optional mission objectives like the Illegal Broadcast Tower and Spore Spewer.
