RL-112 Recoilless Rifle

"'A powerful multi-purpose recoilless rifle for taking out larger targets. The RL-112 is delivered with a backpack containing additional ammunition.' - Armory Description"

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

Unlock Requirement
The RL-112 Recoilless Rifle is granted to the player as a reward for completing all the missions on its associated planet (typically a low level planet - difficulty 1 to 3).

Weapon Stats

 * Helldivers can carry up to 6 reloads for the Recoilless Rifle in the Support Kit backpack. Picking up a single ammo crate fully restocks the Support Kit. Each reload preps the RL-112 for a single shot; when used to reload the MLS-4X Commando, however, it will restore all of the missiles that weapon can carry (either 4 or 8).


 * Reloading the Recoilless Rifle without assistance immobilizes the Helldiver for 5 seconds. If assisted by another player carrying a Support Kit, reloading takes 0.9 seconds.

Gameplay Tips

 * Whilst the Mk3 upgrade states that shots from any angle will be effective, shots from extremely shallow angles against Cyborg Infantry Fighting Vehicles may still prove ineffective or non-damaging. The upgrade greatly relaxes the viable penetration impact angles, but is not a complete free pass to hit at any angle.


 * The RL-112 Recoilless Rifle can be used in lieu of the NUX-223 Hellbomb to destroy mission objectives, such as Bug Hives, Cyborg AA and Illuminate Beacons.
