A/GL-8 Launcher Turret

The A/GL-8 Launcher Turret is the latest development in automated sentry technology. Launching the same rounds as the Obliterator, it has immense firepower and shoots over obstacles. Meant for fixed position defense, a variable firing range was not deemed necessary during development. The turret can discern friend from foe, but watch out for the blast radius.

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

Unlock Requirement
The Thunderer Barrage is granted to the player as a reward for completing all the missions on its associated planet (typically a medium-low level planet - difficulty 4 to 6).

Gameplay Tips

 * Each salvo contains 3 shells, the spread of which can vary considerably. Experienced Helldivers know to keep well away from the targeted area.


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