Thunderer Barrage

A continuous barrage from nearby 'Thunderer' artillery is called in on the target area. Anything in the area stands a high risk of sustaining injuries and/or death from the powerful 130mm shells. Lasts for 3 salvos.

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 Thunderer Barrage 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

 * Each salvo contains 3 shells, the spread of which can vary considerably. Experienced Helldivers know to keep well away from the targeted area.


 * 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. Like the Shredder Missile Strike and the Missile Barrage, the Thunderer can destroy the Illuminate Beacons whilst their shields are still up.
