Orbital Stratagem Tier List

The best orbital stratagems to annihilate terminids and automatons in Helldivers 2. U.GG has field-tested stratagems and weapon tier lists.

Tip: Stratagems are deployed from the Super Destroyer that can be seen if the player looks up in the sky. This means that the direction that the orbital comes from varies relative to the location of the Super Destroyer to the Target.

When using Orbitals like the Railcannon, make sure the enemy is facing the Super Destroyer when the Orbital is fired for a higher chance of a headshot and one-shot kills to large enemies like the Bile Titan.
