Tactical Information

  • It fires a continuous, low-dispersion barrage of Armor AP5 Icon.png Anti-Tank I explosive shells over the course of about 9 seconds.
  • The area of effect is not very large, so accuracy on deployment is advised.
  • The barrage lasts ~9 seconds and bombards a ~20 meter radius. Its random targeting and relatively small explosion radius per shot mean it'll kill most, but not all enemies that pass through the area, and is not particularly likely to kill heavy targets, though it will likely damage them.
  • The barrage can destroy light structures like fences and walls to aid a Helldiver's traversal and can be used to open steel-doored containers in a pinch.
  • This barrage can be used to destroy mission objectives such as Illegal Broadcast Towers.
  • The barrage can destroy Bug Holes albeit unreliably and Fabricators by having a minimum of 12 shots hit to destroy.
  • For killing large groups of enemies, like Bug Breaches, this stratagem is an alternative to the Orbital Airburst Strike and the Orbital Gas Strike.
