Railcannon Strike

A ship in orbit picks the largest target in a very close proximity to the beacon and fires a high velocity railcannon round at the target's predicted position.

Note: This airstrike will one-shot all tanks on normal missions except Bug Behemoths (it will severely damage it enough to be finished off with another hit from any anti-tank weapon/airstrike).

Railcannon Strikes can destroy mission targets (Cyborg AA Guns, Bug Nests or Illuminate Generators) instead of the standard-issue NUX-223 Hellbomb, although it is difficult to actually hit AA Guns or Beacons in the right place. Try to gently roll the beacon as close as possible to the base of the structure. In the case of Bug Nests, dropping the beacon inside the nest is reliable as long as there are no enemies nearby for the Railcannon to home in on.

Cooldown is 72 seconds with Stratagem Priority (36 when upgraded to Mk3); there is no limit on the amount of times it can be called in.

Unlock Requirement
