I’ve been using the OPS since the patch and am pretty impressed by it. The low cooldown and call-in time feels great! Still haven’t figured out how to use it on factory striders yet.

It’s pretty straightforward with factory striders: you throw it at the strider just after your eagle airstrike, and around the same time as all the other stratagems your teammates are throwing at it

More seriously, throw it between its legs (safe bet, will be hit by the explosion) or on the opposite side to your destroyer, so the shell hits its body (might miss, and who has time to look up at the destroyers when getting shot at by a strider).

On a side note, you can disarm the strider (lowering the pressure on the team) with just support weapons. EAT/Quasar/RR can take out its back turret (in two shots I believe), and AC/AR? can take out its chin turrets (takes several shots, and the hitbox is naturally smaller than the back turret)

Is it just me or is it less predictable now than it used to be? I feel like it used to be perpendicular to me and now it rotates or something

Useless on bots. Decent for bugs.

Believe it or not, since the last patch where it got the damage buff, it’s great on bots now. I use it to clear groups of heavy devastators and scout striders. The most I killed with one airburst is probably around 12 heavy devastators =P

I’m a simple Helldiver. I see bigger boom. I like bigger boom.

Haha I actually do the same thing whenever I bring a flamethrower. Couldn’t decide whether to pick on the 500kg or the Orbital Railcannon.

Sounds like my usual load. Flamethrower, shield pack, then OPS and 500kg depending on planet conditions.

If there is orbital scatter then I’ll leave the OPS and take something else.

I replaced eagle airstrike by 500kg since its got that little extra fuck you and your extended family feel.
