Is the Eagle Smoke Strike Worth It?

Just One Big Smokescreen

Tier Rating C Tier C Tier

The Eagle Smoke Strike is just like the G-3 Smoke but in a larger scale. This provides decent cover, but in a game where combat efficiency is more paramount, this stratagem is better left unused.

How to Unlock Eagle Smoke Strike

Available after Reaching Level 8

Eagle Smoke Strike can be unlocked for purchase after reaching level 8. You can buy this Stratagem for 4000 Requisition Slips in the Ship Management console located inside your ship.

How to Use Eagle Smoke Strike

Throw on to Enemies

The Eagle Smoke Strike will bring down its devastating firepower at the location you signal it to immediately after 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 Eagle Smoke Strike Stratagem:

  1. Liquid-Ventilated Cockpit
  2. Expanded Weapons Bay
