Orbital Gas Strike

The Orbital Gas Strike (or just Gas) is an area-denial corrosive gas shell - launched from the bridge of the Super Destroyer - that appears in Helldivers 2 as a Stratagem.

It costs 4000 Requisition Slips to unlock.

Any enemies - or friendlies - that come in contact with the corrosive gas will begin taking high amounts of damage; due to the powerful dissolving properties of the substance melting through armour and flesh alike. Those coated in gas will continue to take damage for a few seconds after leaving the effective area.

The gas is not a neurotoxin like mustard gas, instead it is a corrosive substance, such as acid; this is why it is able to affect Automatons.

Gameplay Tips

 * The corrosive gas is excellent at area-denial, so consider using it: against bug breaches and bot drops, to kill enemies as soon as they spawn; to kill enemies that advance towards you as you retreat; to protect flanks or choke-points on objectives.
 * The gas is extremely effective at destroying Terminid egg-clusters.
 * The corrosive gas is able to damage most heavily armored enemies, although it may not kill them - at full health - from one gas strike alone.
 * The gas strike has a low propensity for friendly-fire, due to: it's bright green smoke indicating its effective area, its damage-over-time effect rather than instant damage and its consistent area-of-effect radius.
