Shredder Missile Strike

A Tracking Micro-Nuclear Tactical missile is called in, striking as close as possible to the beacon. Side effects include shell shock, mutation, and/or death.

The 'Shredder' Missile is a powerful yet situational attack stratagem. It should generally be used for retreat situations and clearing out the are so that your fellow Helldivers can get their dropped equipment back with more ease.

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

Cooldown time with Stratagem Priority is 126 seconds. Each Shredder Missile Strike stratagem taken provides a single use; the Mk2 upgrade increases this to 5 uses per mission.
