Is the Orbital Smoke Strike Worth It?

Just One Big Smokescreen

Tier Rating	C Tier

The Orbital 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 Use Orbital Smoke Strike

Throw on to Enemies

The Orbital Smoke Strike 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.
