How you can get the Airburst Rocket Launcher in Helldivers 2 through the Main Order occasion

It has been a tricky month in Helldivers 2, with a number of Main Order failures, in addition to a number of the sweetest victories we now have had to this point within the sport. The newest Main Order noticed the group come collectively to defend 10 planets, a process that was solely accomplished with moments to spare. The following Main Order gave gamers the selection between which planet they needed to liberate, with our alternative figuring out what weapon we might obtain as a reward. The group selected the Airburst Rocket Launcher, right here is how one can use it through the occasion and whether or not we made the appropriate alternative.

How To Get The Airburst Rocket Launcher Throughout The Present Main Order Occasion

At the moment, the Airburst Rocket Launcher can’t be bought out of your ship, so how do you utilize it through the Main Order occasion? For all missions that you simply do whereas on the Penta planet, the Airburst Rocket Launcher will probably be robotically included in your Stratagem checklist upon beginning the mission. The excellent news is it doesn’t take up one in all your slots which lets you nonetheless carry 4 Stratagemens along with the Airburst Rocket Launcher. To date, I haven’t discovered it on the bottom in any of the missions I’ve performed, however since you possibly can spawn it any time there isn’t a necessity for it to be floor loot.

It’s value noting that it received’t be accessible on some other planet till after the Main Order when it’s going to change into purchaseable out of your ship, its pricing is presently unknown nevertheless it ought to be beneath 9,000 Requisitions primarily based on earlier unlockable Stratagems. If I needed to guess I’d say it’s going to probably be round 6,000-7,500 Requisitions however we’ll get affirmation after the occasion, or when the subsequent replace is launched.

Is The Airburst Rocket Launcher Price Utilizing?

Primarily based on my expertise utilizing the brand new Airburst Rocket Launcher to this point, no, it isn’t value utilizing. When immediately impacting enemies, it does little or no injury to something apart from the grunt-type enemies. The primary heavy enemy I attacked with it was a Devastator and it shrugged it off prefer it wasn’t, it took two rockets to take it down, whereas most different explosive Stratagem weapons would take out a Devastator within the majority of circumstances. The perfect use case that I’ve discovered to this point is it could actually destroy a Fabricator with ease, however a Grenade may full the identical process.

The primary perk of the Airburst Rocket Launcher is that it creates a big radius of explosive injury in a burst-like method, therefore the title. Sadly, this appears to deal little or no injury to close by enemies however it could actually take you out instantly. That is additionally a big space that’s far higher than the blast radius of different explosive weapons, so it’s straightforward to search out your self within the crossfire. I eradicated myself in three of the primary 4 rockets I used whereas most of my enemies had been nonetheless standing.

At the moment, there are 4 related weapons in Helldivers 2, the Expandable Anti-Tank, Recoilless Rifle, Grenade Launcher, and Quasar Cannon, and I’d select each one in all them over the Airburst Rocket Launcher. I do assume the group made a mistake by selecting this weapon over the MD-17 Anti-Tank Mines. However, with it being within the in-game recordsdata, we’ll probably see it added to the sport sooner or later too.
