I really like orbital airburst.

I was running bug helldives with some people in my discord and decided to try it out and was suprised it puts in solid work especially since it has a fairly short cooldown period. Works like a charm for breaches and choke points and really helps with ammo conservation.

Request: can you leave the name of the stratagem up as an overlay while you're talking about it. I found myself forgetting which one you were talking about

[BadConeja]

I was in a group where 3 of us had 380mm HE and I took an extra 120mm HE. We would dump all of them at the same time into large bug nests and then just run. I have not done this often, it was just something for fun one day.

But in a group setting if 3 people all take 380s and 120s you can flatten entire areas. The stratagem is less effective as a single use.

It would be cool to see you setup a squad and run different load-outs like this. All EMS, or gas, barrage only, etc… thematically picking strats but it’ll work if everyone in the squad does it.

Some of the better videos on this game I've seen. Thanks.

[Robaldeenyo]

Airburst is great for bug breaches if you're team loves to spawn them.

[cameron]

Thank you for putting gameplay with the stratagems now, helps a lot to see in game 👍

All of the Barrage Class Orbitals need to dump the whole salvo in about 1/2 - 1/3 the time it currently takes. I understand that the idea is for Eagles to be the quick, accurate option and the barrages are supposed to saturate an aoe for a bit of duration. The issue is the duration and time between shots is what really holds them all back.

[robbert]

Walking barrage is useful to soften targets whilst moving up behind the AEO

[zerokool-]

The EMS turret and the mortar turret go well together..
we had 1 of each in the team. Oh man is great when you’re defending

[kingcupcakes]

I actually love using the ems strike with the arc thrower but sometimes I wish the duration was just a tad bit longer. It also doubles as a panic tool just chuck it on your feet or where you're going, if you get caught in the strike zone just spam dive to maneuver inside.

[TheSongDragon]

I am hoping that they add an upgrade to the 120 and 380 barrages that allows them to have either much higher aoe damage, or to add aim assist that lets the strikes at least target enemies more accuratly instead of pure rng. Either of those would make them far more useful

[xerlius]

I 100% agree with the both of the artillery barrages!
They’re okay if multiple people use them but…
When I use them the explosions dance around the enemies like you said.

[StarlightGuard]

Nice review as I am weighing what Orbitals to purchase first. May Liberty see you all through fellow Helldivers.

[hafentoffen]

I love watching the 120 and 380mm barrage but they are too RNG in their dispersion sadly. They have so much potential and are very cinematic...just a shame with the heavy RNG.

[Falascoa]

I'm glad I watched this, cause I thought I may have been using the 380mm wrong. It worked the first couple times I used it. I think I threw it in a bug nest with like 7 holes, and it cleared the whole thing. But lately I've been dying about every third time I use it. 😂
Laser here i come.

[ArmedHug]

I use the Walking barrage against bases. Lineup the holes/factories, Throw it roughly 50m in front of the base and watch as it clears the base. It works roughly 80 of the time and can clear up to medium bases. And if it doesn't kill holes/factories, it clears the area of enemies. So you can walk behind it and get what it doesn't kill.

[catalystactual]

8:32 this shit happens all the time, where it actually prioritizes enemy units over structures. It hit the strider instead of the gun turret.

[notsorrystory]

I like orbital smoke because its a low cooldown that doesnt mess with my eagle cooldown. Once my eagle strikes are up, I want them rearming. You shouldn't need consecutive smokes.

[VMVMV]

Im trying to use a walking barrage as a retreat tool by throwing it IN FRONT of me when running away with a hope that ill get enough distance from the first salvo to essentially outrun it and bait enemies to run along the salvo directions
