General Information[]
The Orbital Napalm Barrage is a Stratagem available for requisition at level 18. When activated, there will be a call-in time of ~10 seconds. Afterwards, a circular area with a radius of about 50 meters will be bombarded over the course of about 20 seconds, leaving a relatively neat circle of hell, ready to incinerate any and all enemies of Democracy that come within reach.
Stratagem Code[]
This is the code needed to activate the Orbital Napalm Barrage during a mission. Helldivers on Keyboards can use the WASD keys, and Helldivers on Controllers can use the D-Pad.
Tactics[]
- The Orbital Napalm Barrage has the same silo range as the Orbital 120MM HE Barrage, but the napalm increases the range significantly. It is recommended to back up at least 50 meters from where you threw the stratagem, unless you want to be embedded on the Wall of Martyrs.
- Despite napalm normally not being as effective against bots, the immense number of shells being dropped and constant fire damage makes this a solid pick for the Automatons.
- Its most defining use is on Bot Drops, Illuminate Dropships, and Bug Breaches, as the constantly spawning enemies both depletes their resources, and racks an impressive kill streak. Note that for Bot Drops and Illuminate Dropships, that some shells may hit the incoming and stationary ships, causing no napalm to fall on that area.
- The Orbital Napalm Barrage drops 5 salvos at a time, compared to every other big barrage dropping 3, allowing for more overall damage potential than the others.
