Gameplay Tips

• It is advised to run after deployment and to not stop running. It gives you 6 seconds before firing for a reason.
• The minimum safe distance from the beacon is about 65 to 70 meters.
• This stratagem can be used to soften up enemy camps by throwing the 380mm HE Barrage into an enemy outpost and running away. Returning to the outpost later, you will usually find most of the structures and enemies destroyed, making finishing off large enemy camps much easier.
• The Orbital 380mm HE Barrage is capable of destroying Automaton Command Bunkers.
