This build is designed to maximize team support by leveraging the Anti-Materiel Rifle and the Scout Passive. The Scout Passive enhances your radar range, allowing you to detect enemies further out. You can also place beacons that ping to reveal hostiles in the area.

While handling Tanks and Factory Striders can be challenging, the Eagle Airstrike and Orbital Precision Strike provide the heavy firepower needed to break through their armor. The AMR excels at precision headshots on Hulks and delivering pinpoint shots on Gunships and Devastators, making you extremely lethal on the battlefield.

Recommended Weapons

R-63CS Diligence Counter Sniper

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.

Right Arrow.pngRight Arrow.pngUp Arrow.png

Cost: Free, Unlocked at Level 1.

Despite being the first Stratagem you unlock, the Orbital Precision Strike is incredibly powerful.

With a 90-second cooldown and a 2-second call-in time, the Precision Strike is available for most engagements with Automaton heavies such as Hulks and Tanks, allowing you to save your Commando rockets.

Anything directly hit by the Orbital Precision Strike will be either instantly destroyed or severely damaged in the case of the Factory Strider.

Recommended Stratagems

Eagle Airstrike
Orbital Laser
Eagle Airstrike

The Eagle Airstrike is unlocked at level 2 and costs 4,000 . It is one of the most popular Eagle Stratagems in the game and is effective against every enemy you will come across including Tanks, Hulks, Fabricators, Bunkers, and side objectives such as the Mortar Nest. Landing an Eagle Airstrike at the right angle can instantly kill a Hulk, Tank, and will deal a decent amount of damage to the Factory Strider. It is also good at clearing out waves of lighter enemies.

  • 2 uses per rearm
  • 15s cooldown
Orbital Laser

 

Cost: 10,000, Unlocked at Level 15.

The Orbital Laser is an incredibly powerful stratagem, though you’re only allowed 3 uses per game, and it is on a significant cooldown.

It will effortlessly slice through a field of enemies. It’s a “Throw and forget” kind of stratagem, as the targeting is handled automatically as the laser travels enemy-to-enemy. It’s capable of taking out bug holes and fabricators, as well as heavies such as the Titan, Hulk and Impaler.
