A Helldivers 2 leak has revealed a new stratagem, the Orbital Flare, which will allegedly be available in the future. Helldivers 2 features a diverse range of stratagems, which players can utilizee to deliver damage and improve their survivability. Many of these abilities come at a reasonable cost, bringing massive firepower to take out waves of enemies. Players can use up to four different stratagems in a mission, so they should choose the best ones for their teams.
Players can purchase Stratagems with Requisition Slips, which they can earn by completing objectives. As they progress through Helldivers 2, new stratagems become available at Ship Management terminals in the Destroyer. Once added to their loadouts, players can activate these abilities during missions by keying in a code found on the top left of the screen.
The latest Helldivers 2 leak from Tier5NPC has given players an insight into the Orbital Flare stratagem, which will allegedly become available in the future. As its name implies, this ability creates a flare that lasts for 25–30 seconds, attracting enemies to a beam of blue light. Players can use it to light up dark areas and hold enemy aggro for a short time. Considering the Orbital Flare provides no damage boost and temporary buff, it will likely be a mission stratagem accessible to every player.
Helldivers 2's New Stratagem Creates a Beam of Light
According to the leaker, the Orbital Flare has unlimited uses like many other stratagems in Helldivers 2. However, players can activate it once every 30 seconds. It should be noted that the upcoming ability could see several tweaks before it becomes available in the game. If the Orbital Flare is indeed a mission stratagem, players will use it for missions on planets that have solar eclipses.
Speaking of stratagems, many Helldivers 2 players want the Eagle 500kg bomb to receive a buff because it needs a bigger blast radius to deal with enemy waves. Some call on Arrowhead to increase its damage output so it takes out heavily armored targets, believing that the Eagle 500kg bomb will be more viable with these changes.
In addition to giving feedback on the Eagle 500kg bomb, Helldivers 2 players came up with new stratagem ideas, asking the developers to make the Super Earth Flag a support ordinance that improves the morale of allies. They indicated that this flag is planted in the ground and provides temporary stat bonuses. Some asked the developers to bring it as a backpack, which is available to everyone by default.
