Stratagems are formidable artillery weapons that can be summoned through the use of Super Destroyers. While there are standard Stratagems available to all, completing missions and earning Requisition Slips allows for access to more specialized and exclusive Stratagems.
The Eagle 500kg bomb is a powerful weapon that has the ability to completely destroy any target in its proximity. To learn how to obtain this exceptional Stratagem, refer to the guide provided below.
In order to access the Eagle 500kg bomb, you will need to have a Level 15 rank and possess 10,000 Requisition Slips. When these criteria are met, navigate to the Stratagems tab in the Management Console and choose the Eagle 500kg bomb.
Instructions for using the Eagle 500kg bomb
To deploy the Eagle 500kg bomb, follow the given sequence:
Up, Right, Down, Down, Down
The Eagle 500kg bomb functions similarly to a standard Eagle Stratagem, with the exception of a delayed detonation one second after impact. The force of impact alone is comparable to the destructive force of a Hellpod’s landing.
The bomb causes significant harm to individuals and objects within the explosion range, but it is not as successful in completely destroying a wider space.
When dropping the Eagle 500kg bomb, be cautious if you are on higher ground as there is a possibility that the bomb may accidentally hit you instead of your intended target below. This is especially important to keep in mind as the Eagle will approach from the rear after being called in by the Helldiver.
If you are still unsure, you can consult this Reddit post written by @Luenend:
Identifying Mobile High-Threat targets can be challenging amidst the chaos and constant movement. Consider using an EMS strike or Stun Grenade to incapacitate the enemy before calling in the Eagle 500kg bomb.
Strategies and Tactics
Statistics
- Call-in Time: 0 Seconds
- Uses: 1 (2 when upgraded)

Be mindful that the bomb will explode roughly one second upon impact with the ground. It is crucial to precisely time the strike and allow yourself adequate time to find shelter.
The use of the Eagle 500kg bomb is limited to a certain number of deployments. Once all Eagle Stratagems have been used, the Eagle Rearm will become available. Upon activation, there will be a 2-minute and 30-second cooldown period to replenish ammunition and explosives, rendering Stratagems temporarily unavailable.
