Eagles, especially the Airstrike and 110mm Rocket Pods, are extremely effective versus the Automatons.
The Airstrike can be used to destroy outposts with ease. The 110mm Rocket Pods very effectively kill Tanks and Cannon Turrets, though you’ll need to land the beacon close to them. You’ll still want to take the Expendable Anti-Tank for when your Eagle is on cooldown. The Counter Sniper can be used to take down Gunships by shooting their thrusters.
Recommended Weapons
The Counter Sniper is the second Marksman Rifle you can unlock, costing 40 medals. It is available on the seveth page of the Helldivers Mobilize Free Warbond.
The high-powered “Counter Sniper” variant fires medium-armor penetrating rounds, capable of killing Devastators with a single headshot. You can also shoot the knee joints of Striders to dismount them.
This is the perfect primary weapon for dispatching Heavy Devastators, as its long zoom and steady scope allow you to get easy headshots past their shield.
Core Stratagems
Cost: 3,000, Unlocked at Level 3.
Calls down two disposable rocket launchers that are capable of killing Chargers, Bile Titans, and Hulks with an accurate headshot. One major advantage is that it does not require an ammunition backpack, allowing you to still wear a Shield, Jump, or Supply pack.
While it does less damage than other anti-tank weapons, you can quickly fire the first launcher and pick up and fire the second launcher without the need for reloading.
Its low cooldown time allows you to call down an additional two launchers every minute. We recommend calling down 2-4 launchers before starting an objective, allowing you to quickly cycle through them as threats arrive.
Cost: 4,000, Unlocked at Level 2.
The Eagle Airstrike is one of the most popular Eagle Stratagems in the game and is highly effective against almost every enemy you will come across including. Landing an Eagle Airstrike at the right angle can instantly kill a Charger, Tank, Hulk and will deal a decent amount of damage to the Factory Strider and Bile Titan. It is also effective at clearing out waves of lighter enemies.

Rocket Pods are highly effective against Automatons, capable of instantly destroying Tanks, Fabricators and Cannon Turrets. However, they are inconsistent against Hulks, Titans, Impalers, and Chargers due to their hitboxes.
110mm Rocket Pods are an excellent supplemental Stratagem to use when your main Anti-Tank option is on cooldown.
Cost: 10,000, Unlocked at Level 15.
The Eagle 500KG Bomb is the most powerful explosive Stratagem, second only to the Hellbomb and Mini-Nuke.
It can obliterate nearly any enemy in a single hit, with the exception of Factory Striders, which will still sustain heavy damage.
With its newly enhanced blast radius, the 500KG Bomb is now one of the most capable Stratagems available.
