Is the Orbital Gatling Barrage Worth It?

Decent Starting Stratagem

Tier Rating B Tier B Tier

As one of the earliest stratagems you unlock, this does the job of clearing down enemy groups. However, this pales in comparison to the other stratagems you unlock as you level up. To put it frankly, this stratagem is just enough to get through earlier missions until you unlock something better.

How to Unlock Orbital Gatling Barrage

Available after Reaching Level 2

Orbital Gatling Barrage can be unlocked for purchase after reaching level 2. You can buy this Stratagem for 1500 Requisition Slips in the Ship Management console located inside your ship.

How to Use Orbital Gatling Barrage

Throw on to Enemies

The Orbital Gatling Barrage will bring down its devastating firepower at the location you signal it to after 2 Seconds of throwing it.

Note that although this type of Stratagem is easy to use, it is also quite easy to mess it up. Avoid throwing the signal close to you or any of your squad mates to prevent friendly fire.

Use Ship Module Upgrades

Use Ship Modules to further increase the effectiveness of Stratagems on the field. Listed below are the following Ship Modules that augment and enhance the Orbital Gatling Barrage Stratagem:

  1. More Guns
  2. Zero G-Breech Loading
  3. Targeting Software Upgrade
