“The Automatons are using large Orbital Cannons in this area to bombard our Super Destroyers.
We cannot allow our Aerospace superiority to be challenged. Deploy to the area and destroy any active Orbital Cannons.— Mission Briefing
Neutralize Ground-to-Orbit Defenses is a Mission in Helldivers 2. Helldivers must destroy 2-3 Orbital Cannons around the map using Hellbombs.
Objective Steps
“An Orbital Cannon is located here. Infiltrate the site and use a Hellbomb to destroy it.
— Objective Overview
- Call down and defend a Hellbomb until it explodes to destroy the orbital cannon.
- Only Hellbombs, B-100 Portable Hellbombs and SEAF Artillery: Mini-Nuke shells can destroy the orbital cannons.
Tactical Information
- One configuration of the Orbital Cannon is defended by three ground-level Cannon Turrets.
- Several Automaton Fabricators also surround each Orbital Cannon.
- The outpost is moderately defended relative to the difficulty level with a mix of Troopers, Devastators, Hulks, and Scout Striders. In addition, all Orbital Cannons are surrounded with Automaton MG Emplacements.
- Helldivers should be advised of the burning pit below the bridge in one configuration of the Orbital Cannon, as it is an instant death to fall into it.
