Helldivers 2 Players Unlock New Stratagem After Penta’s Liberation

The recent winner of the Helldivers 2 Major Order has been announced, granting players the opportunity to immediately incorporate a new Stratagem into their arsenal.

The Major Order issued on April 26 gave Helldivers the option to liberate either Choohe or Penta. However, the majority of players have chosen to liberate Penta, making it the first planet in the Lacaille Sector to be liberated in Helldivers 2. This choice also granted each player the opportunity to acquire one of two Stratagems: the MD-17 Anti-Tank Mines or the RL-77 Airburst Rocket Launcher.

The addition of the RL-77 Airburst Rocket Launcher Stratagem to the game was a result of the planet Penta being saved, along with all the civilians, of course.

The RL-77 Airburst Rocket Launcher is a bonus Stratagem that can be equipped. It is categorized as a Patriotic Administration Center Stratagem in your Ship Management.

The new Airburst Rocket Launcher can be unlocked with the Helldivers 2 April 29 patch release. Here’s how.
