Close Air Support

A low flying run from an 'Eagle', where it strafes the area with its main cannon and fires two missiles that home in on targets. It has both great anti-tank and anti-personnel applications and represents the versatility of Helldivers air power. The Close Air Support stratagem is part of the Specialist equipment kit.

Unlock Requirement
Close Air Support is a DLC stratagem, available at any rank to those who purchase the Specialist equipment kit.

Gameplay Tips

 * Close Air Support strikes are always perpendicular to the direction of the throw.


 * This and Strafing Run are the only stratagems that are not affected by the 1-second activation time reduction from Precision Call-In Perk. There is no way to activate these stratagems faster than 0.1 second.
