Airstrike

A fighter in orbit diverts to your location and delivers a high speed airstrike on the beacon.

Stratagem Code
Players must enter the following sequence, using the controller d&#8209;pad, in order to call down this stratagem during a mission:

Unlock Requirement
The Airstrike is granted to the player as a reward for completing all the missions on its associated planet (typically a medium-low level planet - difficulty 4 to 6).

Gameplay Tips

 * The airstrike always arrives perpendicular to the throw.


 * This stratagem can be used to destroy mission targets (Cyborg AA Guns, Bug Nests or Illuminate Beacons) instead of the standard-issue NUX&#8209;223 Hellbomb.
 * It can take out multiple Bug Nests if they are clumped together. If you have to destroy a full group of 5 nests, two well-placed Airstrikes will do the trick.


 * Cooldown time with Stratagem Priority is 54 seconds.


 * When fully upgraded, the Airstrike becomes a deadly and highly reliable stratagem for clearing out groups of enemies. It is even strong enough to destroy enemies like Bug Behemoths with only a single use.
