It's the most disappointing one so far, since it's just a single Smoke bomb in between each volley and it feels like it fires so much slower. I was hoping for a massive curtain of smoke, with each one shooting out a smoke cloud on top of the explosion, but it's not that.
Still, 2/3 means I'm really glad they're doing these experiments.
the problem is that they did not increase the amount of projectiles like the 120mm got, as well changing from 380mm to 120mm, also much higher cooldown
Honestly, dude, I’d recommend playing a mission just so you can use the fire orbital gatling because it’s A+ and very satisfying. My personal favorite way to kill a bug breach is laying an eagle napalm on top of it, and then just use my stalewart and shred. Until this…. Orbital gatling is even better, because it applies the fire effect until the very last bullet is fired and then it starts ticking down so the fire effect lasts absolutely forever and the damage is pretty decent.
i guess it did not change much on bot side because the gatling gun already kills anyway while the bug breach just keep spamming things for more than 1 minute so the fire keep killing things
The experimental strats were amazing. It was so nice to get something new in the orbital category.
I really hope they get added as new ship upstages to grind out
Um, you can still use it.
You can? I sure dont see it, maybe planet dependent?
It is! It's usable on Heeth, Marfark and New Stockholm, like all the other experimental barrages until the major order is over.
It is. Theres one planet for each faction that still has it.
And each is a winter wonderland.
Probably my favorite biome

Every front got one. Each is tied to the Minor order
Also they added a new experimental walking barrage with smoke shells
you can still use it on the planet
Is it planet dependent? I didn't see the option when I went to the squid front
Yeah. Heeth, Marfark, and New Stockholm harbor the new stratagems. They’re the icy “Recon Campaign” worlds.
Yes
Check Heeth.
Wdym bring it back? It's still in the game on Recon planets.

You call still use the experimental stratagems in New Stockholm, Heet and Marfark
Jump on illuminate I just ran an op with all 3 experimental strategems in one dive
Is the third active now?
Yup, Smoke Walking.

Smoke with walking barrage makes sense
They probably just need to tweak it
the problem is that they did not increase the amount of projectiles like the 120mm got, as well changing from 380mm to 120mm, also much higher cooldown
You lost me at illuminate.
Stratagem customization is in the making. I can feel it.

Care help a fellow diver our and give me that plugs number?
I liked emp 120 barrage, as it was much more dense or at least it felt like this.
imagine living your best life and learning that someone is already mourning your loss
This right here, proof that Helldivers cannot, and will not ever read anything.
It looked cool but wasn't super effective
Against bots and squids maybe..
but against the bugs it was totally overpowered. Hilariously so. throw that thing on a bug breach. It took care of basically the entire thing
Oh true. I haven't played bugs in like a month

It's still here
Miss it not having the awkward angle. Never felt the same
I hope this is a way for them to experiment with new red strategems
Ngl, coming from a thread about parents who lost their kids, this has gotta be one of the saddest sentences ever
I hope they rework it into its own stratagem. It's too good to be event-only
Meme from the future
This is legit fire against bugs. Drop it on a hole as they start pouring out and unless a heavy shows up, you're set
More proof helldivers can’t read
No I want gas and bullets to rain from the heavens ! Let no joyful enemy voice be heard on that day
