Tactical Information
- Orbital 380mm HE Barrage shells share same parameters as Orbital Precision Strike (OPS): practically this is a barrage of 15-18 OPSes.
- The 380mm Barrage in essence is one-third improvement over to Orbital 120mm HE Barrage while also having one-third longer cooldown.
- It is advised to run after deployment and to not stop running until you are at least 65m away. It gives you 6 seconds before firing for a reason.
- The minimum safe distance from the beacon is about +60 meters.
- This stratagem can be used to soften up enemy outposts by throwing the 380mm HE Barrage deep into the outpost and running away. Returning to it later, you will usually find most of the structures and enemies destroyed, making finishing off heavy enemy outposts much easier.
- The 380mm HE Barrage can also be used to destroy the inactive Dropships in the Sabotage Air Base mission.
- The Orbital 380mm HE Barrage is capable of destroying Hulks, Tanks, Cannon Turrets, and Chargers with a single shell.
- Factory Striders and Bile Titans require multiple hits to be destroyed.
- The Orbital 380mm HE Barrage is capable of destroying the following structures from a distance:
