Field Notes

Situational tactics to maximize efficiency

Target Priorities

Focus on enemies vulnerable to light penetration. Rotate secondary stratagems to cover its blind spots.

Squad Synergy

Pair with Helldivers carrying heavy anti-armor or crowd-control tools to maintain balance across mission objectives.

Extraction Tips

Coordinate resupply drops before calling extraction. Use defensive stratagems to protect the LZ while the weapon reloads.
