EAT-17

Calls down two EAT-17 expendable anti-tank weapons. The EAT is a one-use rocket capable of damaging heavily armored targets.

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 EAT-17 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).

Weapon Stats

 * A single EAT-17 can be carried at a time. It will be discarded after firing. Picking up another EAT-17 will swap the one you are currently holding for the one on the ground.
 * EAT launchers, if not picked up, will disappear after a while (when the landed Hellpod despawns). This time can be extended considerably by picking up and dropping the EAT launcher, which prevents it from disappearing when the Hellpod is removed from the game.

Gameplay Tips

 * The EAT-17 can land one-shot kills on heavier armored enemies such as Cyborg Warlords and IFVs if the rocket connects at the right angle, though this is still unreliable. Aim 90 degree shots on the chest for Warlords and likewise for IFVs' sides and front. Rear shots for the latter are almost guaranteed to knock it out on the first shot.


 * This stratagem can be used to destroy mission targets (Cyborg AA Guns, Bug Nests or Illuminate Beacons) instead of the standard-issue NUX-223 Hellbomb.
 * It is possible, though very difficult, to throw the EAT-17's stratagem beacon so that it lands close enough to an AA Gun to crush it. This means that you can use the other two EATs to destroy the remaining two AA Guns.
