A linear artillery barrage which moves at intervals, driving the enemy out from cover while allowing an advance.

— Ship Management Terminal

The Orbital Walking Barrage is an offensive stratagem. It fires salvos of 5 shells each at intervals of 1 second per shot, with 3 seconds between salvos. The shells are Orbital 380mm HE Barrage shells that walk forward in the direction the stratagem ball was thrown. The barrage advances around 100 meters from the start point.

Gameplay Tips

• The walking barrage allows players to follow the advance of the barrage, which travels in the direction the player faces when calling in the stratagem.
• The stratagem beacon stays at the initial call-in location, therefore as the barrage continues it becomes more misleading about where the danger zone is.
• The Orbital Walking Barrage can destroy the following structures from a distance:
  • Terminid Bug Holes, Bot Fabricators, Shrieker Nests, Spore Spewers, Anti-Air & Mortar Emplacements, Command Bunkers, Detector Towers, Illegial Broadcast Towers, and Rogue Research Stations.
