Tactical Information

• Helldivers may treat the Artillery Shells like basketballs by repeatedly dropping and picking them up again to increase transportation speed.
  • There is an even faster method where Helldivers throw the shells; Dropping, then picking it up again, but before the shell reaches the hands, swap weapons. The shell can't stop at the hands because they are no longer free so it continues its trajectory.
• Patrols will immediately move towards the Artillery when activating the terminal. A possible strategy is to collect the shells first, then activate the terminal and then immediately fill the Artillery, leaving before the patrols spot the Helldivers
• The order and type of Artillery shell loaded preserved when using the Artillery stratagem. Helldivers should consider which shells are of good use and remember in what order they were loaded.
• SEAF Artillery can be used within the AoE of active Stratagem Jammers, Ion Storms, and when mission timer reaches zero.
