Gameplay Tips

  • The cluster bomb is able to 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 missions objectives like the Illegal Broadcast Tower and Spore Spewer.
