Stratagems are powerful artillery items which can be called using Super Destroyers. While there are standard-issue Stratagems which can be accessed by everyone, more unique Stratagems can be unlocked by completing missions and gaining Requisition Slips.
The Eagle 500kg bomb is a massive bomb capable of “obliterating almost any target close to impact.” If you want to know how to unlock this exceptional Stratagem, take a look at the guide below.
To unlock the Eagle 500kg bomb, you must reach Level 15 and have 10,000 Requisition Slips. Once you have fulfilled the requirements, head over to the Management Console and select the Eagle 500kg bomb from the Stratagems tab.
How to use the Eagle 500kg bomb?
Use the following sequence to deploy the Eagle 500kg bomb:
Up, Right, Down, Down, Down
The Eagle 500kg bomb is just like any other Eagle Stratagem. The only difference is that it detonates a second after impact. Just the impact itself is as vandalizing as a Hellpod’s landing.
The bomb deals extensive damage to anyone and anything within the blast radius. However, it is less effective at obliterating a larger area.
While dropping the Eagle 500kg bomb, the Eagle swoops in from behind the Helldiver who has called it in. So be careful when using it in high ground since there is a good chance that the 500kg bomb will hit you instead of the target positioned below.
If you’re still confused, refer to this Reddit post by @Luenend:
Mobile High-Threat targets can be hard to pick out in between all the chaos and movement. Try to stun the opponent with an EMS strike or Stun Grenade first. Then call in the Eagle 500kg bomb.

Remember, the bomb will detonate approximately one second after hitting the ground. It is extremely important that you time the strike correctly and give yourself enough time to take cover.
There is a limit to how many times you can deploy a strike using the Eagle 500kg bomb. The Eagle Rearm becomes available after all Eagle Stratagems are expended. After activating it, there is a cooldown period of 2 minutes and 30 seconds. This time is used to restock ammunition and explosives, so Stratagems are inaccessible.
