[@EchoFoEvah]

They did make the radius smaller recently. I dunno if that made it more reliable or not though.

[@mlhx9181]

​@@EchoFoEvahstill feels a little too risky. You can throw it on an outpost and then leave and come back later to clean up. But the walking barrage tends to do that quicker and more thoroughly anyway.

[@unitalavanta1772]

@@mlhx9181 In my personal experience, if you get the fuck out of the way (like double time it away from it) and have a competent team, it makes for good saturation of a general area and is "semi accurate". Gotta remember its artillery, and artillery is never pin point accurate! Ive found it is good for doing heavy damage to nests and clearing out anything in them before I go in and clean up whats left either solo or with a team. However not everybodies game is the same.

[@nathangames1576]

@@EchoFoEvah I've found it has helped. It clears out medium outposts/nests more consistently and removes a majority of the fabricators/bug holes on the heavy outposts/nests. Which is one reason I use an armor that increases grenade capacity.

[@halfsanefox4093]

@@unitalavanta1772 Agreed that that's a wise way to treat it however, it's NOT artillery. We know from the upgrade screen that excluding the SEAF Artillery everything is being fired from the Super Destroyer. Mind you it's not like they are firing straight down, and atmospheric interference is a thing. But based on the way the precision shot hits, they should be closer near the beginning of the salvo. Though 380mm is more inaccurate on purpose for the intent of general saturation.

hitting the target with 380mm is more rarer than completing an escort mission sucessfully in helldivers 2

Even the escort missions in Helldivers are pretty alright. The actual people are disposable, you just have to get enough lemmings over time. An actual escort mission from the ps2/OG Xbox days is true hell. A stupid ai taped to your wrist that you fail on the spot if they die is usually how it would play out.

Left a similar comment. Even with a Scout Suit I can count the number of times the Bugs didn't swarm me on one hand... two, it has been two. Those times where fun to watch, I will admit, as 380mm rained down and they ran back and forth with no idea of what to do next. Of course.... most of the nest is still standing afterwards, as is the Charger that the bombs attracted and two of the original hive guards. Not sure why, but I have a personal hate for hive guard.... Find myself walking forward, blasting away with a shotty, screaming 'shield against this!' and watching half the pallets hit around the arm guards. Can't do that to a charge though.... On the other hand: I've had a Bot walker almost step on my face and keep going.... Wasn't even a scout suit!

[@AsusanXT]

I was told that you gotta dive as soon as you throw the strat, but it feels like a hit or miss. Sometimes it works, sometimes I die.
