The strafe run and 500kg both come in in the same direction as the beacon traveled, while all other eagle stratagems come in sideways from either the left or right (determined randomly), and all of them come it at about a 45 degree angle off the ground, so its good to keep terrain in mind when placing them.

The Railgun is goated for how fast it lets you deal with the endless waves of Chargers on Hard and higher difficulties. Just use it to blast the carapace off, then unload with the LMG or any other weapon. It also works for Bile Titans - get under them and blast them in the stomach with the Railgun for really good damage. I think it only takes 5 or 6 shots on safe mode to kill. Another tip with the railgun: it has an alternate fire mode that lets you overcharge it for more damage, but if you hold it too long, it WILL kill you AND destroy the railgun in the process. Regular shots(on "safe" mode) can be held indefinitely, but MUST be fired at some point. There is no way to uncharge the railgun, you have to fire a shot if it's charged up. Even switching weapons doesn't work. You'll fire the shot, then switch weapons. Highly recommend using it in FPV. The Breaker Incendiary shotgun is straight up just the best weapon in the game as a primary. You have an insane amount of ammo with the drum mag, 6 reloads, and every hit puts burning DoTs on the enemy. The LMG I think has the most DPS in the game when you put it to 1150 RPM, but it only pens light armor. Great to have someone use it in combo with another Railgun user, that pair can mow through a Charger very quickly. Shoot the front legs of the Charger to break it's armor. Once you see that part damaged, keep shooting it. Recoilless Rifle is a good alternative if you don't have the railgun unlocked yet. I wish the Autocannon pen'd heavy armor, but it bounces off Chargers and Bile Titans. The Autocannon SENTRY though, does pen heavy armor - which makes no sense, really. 500KG Bomb can be dropped directly on top of a Bile Titan, and you can stand right under it as it explodes. This will one-shot a Bile Titan, and you'll live, taking no damage, but it does blow you to the ground. It's a good way to keep it locked into place and be shooting it with a Railgun or shotgun in the belly. Eagle Cluster Bomb is a strafing run that runs perpendicular to the direction you're facing when you throw it. Throw it slightly in front of what you're trying to hit, it has a wide hit radius, and a LONG side to side. Eagle Airstrike does the same thing(fires side to side depending on the direction you're throwing it from), and you can use this to take out multiple nests with a single throw. The Laser Guard Dog is insane. Easily one of the best things to have on anyone. Its damage ignores armor. Takes care of all the little adds that come near you. You can have the Railgun and a LGD simultaneously. This is why you would take Railgun over Recoilless. Mortar EMS sentry is very good at holding a position, it slows the advance of any bugs, and straight up disables all robots it hits for a period of time.

I feel you aren't giving the man portable autocannon it's due. It is by far the most flexible of call down weapons in the game. It can't pen heavy armor, yes, but save the Automoton tank, every enemy has an area it can pen in the front. For the chargers, the mouth and leg joints can be penned, with the Automoton dreadnought, the Visor is the weak spot, and it will die to 3 shots, automoton scoutwalkers will die so long as you shoot the actual chassis, not the legs. The Terminid Royal guards just need a face shot, Automoton brawlers the same, if they have a shield, any hit to the ballistic shield opens it up to a second round, and you can typically get back on target before it puts the shield back. Automoton tanks and turrest have the weak point on the back, and 3 shots will destroy them regardless of difficulty, and Biotitans have the weak spot under them. By far the man portable autocannon is the most flexible gun you can get currently, and I frankly prefer it over the rail gun for general use, because you don't force your team to play around the railgun.

This might be a dumb thing to call out, but I didn't realize this and I figure there might be others who were confused about the same thing: I assumed from the descriptions that the 'number of uses' thing meant that was a 'per misson' limit. It's not. It's just the number of times you can use the ability before the eagle itself has to return to rearm. It just goes on cooldown for like 2 min and when it comes back all the uses are replinished.

With the strafing run you’re totally correct about the call in time. Most eagle strats come down in about 3-4 seconds. The big draw of the strafing run is that the call-in time is 2 seconds, allowing for an even faster response. The pattern is also less prone to friend fire, so that’s another reason to potentially bring a strafing run over cluster bombs

The rocket pods are my favorite due to how forgiving they can be. Them locking on to the biggest target makes it easier to hit targets while running or scrambling. The smaller radius makes it less of an issue for killing yourself and others. Plus it destroys buildings. Both charges take down larger target's and its consistent at hitting both since it locks onto targets.

The eagle attack pattern also seems to depend on where you are in relation to the call-in grenade thingie when you throw it. The strafe makes a line of impacts from you towards the call-in location. The airstrike makes a line perpendicular to you, same goes with the napalm strike. The others seem to be a typical AOE.

They can get you in and help pull you out if it goes pear-shaped.

Bombing run is one of the first things I recommend players pick up. It's a relatively controllable call in with the ability to tear up anything in an area, on a reasonable cooldown and effectively dirt cheap. Plus it's good verses any problem you might have. I've seen the bombs actually hit a dropship and bring it down, seen them blow away cannon towers and rip apart charger armor en-mass. The second recommendation I usually give is the supply pack, which I think speaks volumes about how good bombing run is.

My favourite eagle stratagem is definitely the cluster bombing run. I love having four charges before re-arm, and it's just so satisfying to see a wide area covered by explosions to clear hordes. The cluster bombs have helped me so much with dealing hordes during the extraction timer. I usually pair with airstrike as well so that I can attack bases and structures, although I might consider swapping out for the 110mm rockets.

Whenever you throw a turret it'll drop down facing the direction you were originally facing while throwing it down. So if you have enemies behind you and throw it infront of you, you have to wait until the turret turns towards the enemy, so if you throw it to your either side and run to the opposite side you threw the turret then you will create much further space between the bugs and turret and itll spin faster to target since itll be just 90degrees turn for turret instead of a 180 to face enemies. Really helpful from extreme difficulties.

So far ive gotten 3 loadouts that work IF they are all 3 being used at the same time Loadout 1. Priority: Armor Orbital railcannon, Eagle Airstrike, Shield Backpack, rail gun. Impact grenades + armor with +2 grenade perks. Youre main goal is taking out High value targets within the ranks of a swarm or advance (tanks, hulks, chargers, bile titans) Use the eagle airstrike, railcannon strike, and railgun to deal with any armor unit causing issues. Any group of armor that does not include an HVT (tanks hulks, chargers, bile titan) use impact grenades. **sidenote** You can 2 shot automaton tanks with impacts if u hit the glowing coils, but only do this if youre railcannoms is on cooldown AND its isolated, or if you know you can isolate it* Loadout 2 (2 players will be using this, 1 has recoilless rifle, 1 has stalwart lmg) Priority: add clear/ control Eagle cluster bombs, (eagle napalm for 1 guy strafing run for the other, (stalwart + supply pack for 1 guy, recoiless rifle + mortar sentry for the other). Double down on either Smoke or incendiary grenades + armor that gives + 2 nades AND 30% recoil reduction. Both players will time their cluster bombs together, and follow the bombs with a napalm and strafing run. Player with the stalwart lmg + supply pack is in charge of unarmored targets, while the other with the recoilless rifle is in charge of stopping dropships or disabling armored targets. Both players are either running smoke grenades or incendiaries. Smokes allow you to break off contact to move to the next objective, and the incendiaries are good for holding chokepoints. Use the recoilless rifle as your armor disabler and the mortar as your swarm killing passive while the lmg guy picks up your slack (you'll be aiming for tank turrets, the arms or legs of hulks, and the sides of chargers or titans to remove their chitin plating while your mortar is doing its job). Priority: pace control Railcannon strike, grenade launcher, gatling sentry, airburst orbital. Armor with +2 stims (bonesnapper from "battle pass". Use the grenade launcher, gatling sentry, and airburst orbital to keep your team up while their stuff is on cooldown. The key for whoever is playing this is to reserve your stratagems. They are only to be used when you are either down players, or other people's abilities are on cooldowns for survivability of the squad. Use your grenade launcher to take down spawn points, or hold chokepoints. Railcannon strike targets your team cannot take out, airburst areas your team cannot keep controlled, and use ur gatling turret to cover flanks. All 4 of these loadouts and their priorites will work well together. Each role needs to be played to their priority.

I'm loving these videos. I'm just sad I'm late to them and knowing what I know now. Like your advice to get the 50% cool down time for eagle strikes. Yeah, Arrow Head just nulled that with one of their new "fun" modifiers that just screw us over. I'm honestly really torn as to how hard the devs have hamstringed us. They give us a 500kg bomb and consider that massive.....Meanwhile the IRL GBU-43 Massive Ordinance Air Blast Bomb (MOAB) clocks in at a whopping 9,850kg's or more accurately (because it's American made and used) 21,715 lbs. And we're playing around with 500kg's like they're the biggest baddest things ever. I want us to get at least 10K kg bombs. If they almost exist in reality, then there's no way Super Earth hasn't sent them with the Hell Divers.

Smoke Eagle plus Infiltrator armor on Evacuation missions (especially Automaton) is practically the only way to do it. The spy sneaks into the base and smokes and starts rushing as many civilians as possible to the evac point while the rest of the team gets on a hill and makes as much noise as possible. Smokepots cause much, much less aggro than airstrikes. Most times the robots will send a scout team to investigate a large civvie horde at best. As long as you can take them out before they radio you can do almost the entire mission unhindered. Otherwise you get a bunch of meatheads dropping nukes from orbit on top of civvies if you let the normal team fight in the villages. If you wanna do Ops on high difficulties on a defending planet, someone has to be the Spy because they almost always have an Evac in them and your squad is almost guaranteed to be carrying some absolutely lethal call-ins. It's also practically the only way to cover ground if Sauron's Eye is on the map. It will annihilate your squad long before you can get into the base on Suicidal or higher. Base Turrets aren't much better to charge against.

One thing you didn't mention exactly but I think is important, you can throw the strafing run basically directly in front of your feet and it won't hit you. As for the 500kg I find it extremely inconsistent, it never does as much damage as you think it will to a base

The Eagle's explosive strikes are also great at closing nests quickly solo. I've had great luck peeling off from the group to nab a quick little bit of extra completion while saving grenades. I've also had napalm close bug holes too so in my dedicated friend group I'm usually told to go close a few outposts while they deal with an obj.

They have different purposes in my opinion. I use strikes for attacking bases, and clusters for dealing with hordes. Additionally, without upgrades you only have two airstrike charges vs four cluster charges before re-arming.

Fun with 500 kgs - I was one a bug mission and team is heading for extract, we're getting overwhelmed and I get sort of cut off from the group and start being pushed away from extraction. Run right into a bile titan with a wave of enemies in front and behind. I'm dead so i just throw a 500 at my feet because why not remove a lot of them from the world and keep scrambling. Pure luck, the 500 lands on the bile titan, one shots it, and then it falls over onto a swarm of enemies chasing me killing about half of them and blocking the rest just enough for me to get away. I was playing with my normal friend group, they go nuts. From the ridge they were on it looked like something from a movie. I was definitely like "yeah, that was totally what I meant to do there." Just such a fun game. Moments like that happen every few hours of game play.

The favorite eagle has got to be the first one you unlock: The Strafing Run. Unwhelming at first glance, it is indeed nothing to scoff at. A line of targets coming your way? Strafing run and watch them be riddled with bullets. It is an effective horde control stratagem, and while sometimes it might not kill, it will definitely weaken. Oh and its not just you, this stratagem is the fastest in the Eagle tree, the description says so, and even if I might be wrong, it feels the fastest. Using this, it is great in a pinch like you said. Best of all? You have a high chance of not dying to it if you place it at your feet! Since the attack is in a line in front of you, you can place it at your feet while facing a horde and watch them melt. Great stratagem, but you'll need something to deal with armor most definitely. Unless, of course, you're on crowd control duty. Nice video!

Eagle Smoke Strike can actually take out fabricators in a pinch. You need it to hit directly, so it’s more difficult to land than airstrike, but there’s very little risk to being nearby when it hits. It can be a good tool for when you run out of grenades or don’t want to waste your bigger stuff on small outposts

cluster bomb wins in frequency, but if you’re talking about the utility per singular use then killing mobs, objectives, or effectiveness in general, it’s not going to be better than airstrike or napalm strike in any of those areas. The only time i would recommend using a cluster bomb are escort missions so your fire doesnt kill civilians. At higher levels large mobs shouldn’t pose much of a threat if you have the laser drone or a shield generator pack. I go armors with medkit, run, get hit by small mobs to stim myself get complete immunity and infinite stamina for a few seconds and just keep running while my drone does the killing. Sentries and mortars are also more effective but may result in collateral damage

Napalm eagle is pretty good against bug breaches as it clears out the smaller spawns allowing you to deal with the bigger more dangerous enemies with a railgun or something without getting interrupted by those god damn hunters. Getting the final upgrade for eagles gives you 2 500 kg bombs.

the 500kg bomb always drops in at a 45 degree angle to your left of where you were facing when you called it in. SO if you are trying to use it to clear eggs in those narrow cliff structures dont run in there and chuck it right at the eggs or it will hit the exterior of the cliff. Instead stand on the outside of the structure with the entrance to your left and throw it over the wall into the space. Great way to pop all the eggs without burning through tons of your reinforcement budget on 7+
