The toxic damage of the Orbital Gas Strike in Helldivers 2 has always made it a fun stratagem to use. Being able to utilize corrosive gas to dispatch enemies definitely makes for a unique mission experience and I wanted to make this video to show all the stuff I learned about it as well as see what you all think!
I'm excited to hear about your thoughts and experiences about the Orbital Gas Strike so let me know in the comments!

CORRECTION: On 15:57 I mentioned how Helldivers exposed to gas strikes would cough every now and then after being affected. After additional testing, I found out that the reason the Helldiver coughed was because of an environmental event such as the blizzard or sandstorm. Most of my testing was done on planets prone to blizzards/sandstorms as the other planets/ops at the time had the 'Atmospheric Interference' modifier which prevented consistent gas strike testing so I really didn't consider the hazard to play much of a role, let alone be the cause of the coughing. Apologies and thanks for watching!

I wish the gas would spread and “settle” over a much longer period of time (like gas attacks in WW1), dealing DoT over a larger area. And that the gas filter helmet gave you a 95% resist to gas damage. That way we could have some more engaging strategic gameplay instead of the gas being used to wipe out a single crowd of enemies the same way the napalm strike does.

@deathcall12345 17 дней назад

@Wallbouncing 17 дней назад

I do think if the gas would spread over a larger area it would be used a lot more and some way of adding resistance to gas damage would also be lovely as I would be very interested in taking a lot of fights in the gas clouds haha. Thanks for checking out the video!

@IAmNumber4000 17 дней назад

@@deathcall12345 it depends what material the gas is reacting with. Chlorine gas corrodes metal and binds with water in the lungs to form HCl (hydrochloric acid) but there are masks that can still protect against it. It won’t dissolve some types of plastic for instance. And there are masks that can filter it out.

@huevote9474 I enjoy the orbitals, and love the precision and gas strikes, but I also love the challenge and variety. While this isn't the ideal way to encourage variety, bc it is via a negative reinforcement vs positive reinforcement, it is better at encouraging variety than a blanket nerf to all call in times, longer cooldowns, and straight up one less slot.

They REALLY need to make the entire area of effect more obvious, that little green cloud in the middle is deceiving

@Wallbouncing 17 дней назад

I agree and it would be nice to have the gas a lot more noticeable. It was very hard to gauge the range of the gas since it can sometimes be difficult to make out how far it goes. Thanks for checking out the video!

@StephaneLevs 15 дней назад

Especially on those already hard to see maps (like those that have fog), it's incredibly hard to see the exact range of it. And it's not like a barrage where the laser stays for the entire duration so your teammates could see it after it's activated. They need to remember what it was and see where it landed, otherwise it's bound to do a lot of friendly fire.

Specifically looking at bugs, to me the problem with the gas is that the smaller to medium enemies are never the problem. Even en masse primaries are more than capable of taking care of them. Where things get problematic is when you are facing multiple bile titans or half a dozen+ chargers. And here the gas strike just does nothing for you.

The gas strike is very good against bot for three reason reason : Low CD, work well on bot drop, so all good. Bot don't always gather together, but when they do it's extremely hard to clear the grapes of devastator and bot, making the gas strike a great saving tool, and finally : the gaz strike is great at killing slow moving target that'll stay in for the full duration, meaning that is shred all type of devastator, mall bots, and strider, which are the priority target against bot. Sure the berzerker Hulk and tank will walk out of it, but those are meant to be killed last anyways

Great Video! Love the Gas Strike. People call it inferior to the other Air Strikes but the low cooldown of Gas Strike is its actual greatest advantage. You mentioned it already but for anyone else reading: for some reason, the Gas Bomb/Projectile has the same penetration stat like the 500kg bomb, that means, the Gas Strike projectile is able to destroy buildings like Rogue Research Facility, Detector Towers (Eye of Sauron), Stratagem Jammer and Shrieker Nests. I feel like this...may be an oversight of the devs, but I hope it stays cause that adds additional utility to Gas Strike and it's low cooldown.

@Wintergreen_ 15 дней назад

With the chargers specifically, I've kinda noticed they tend to have something like a 'mortal wounds' threshold, where once they take that much damage, they'll just finish bleeding out on their own in a matter of time, so that might have been what happened with the gas strikes killing them after they ended. Maybe it just doesn't trigger the abdomen burst since the damage that gets that part over the line doesn't really have an associated projectile/explosion when it crosses that line.

I've recently picked up the gas strike and have personally seen it most effective on 2 situations. The first is one the missile silo defense mission, to filter out all the smaller bugs and focus of the heavy ones. The second is on any regular mission. The moment I see a bug breach reinforcement I combine it with an ems strike to almost completely negate it. That strategy has prevented me from getting easily overrun many times. Hope this tip helps other helldivers too.

@MartaBunny 17 дней назад

One thing I wish you mentioned in the video - the gas strike is able to destroy Detector Towers ("eye of sauron"), I always bring it to bot missions because it's the lowest cooldown stratagem that destroys them (on top of being able to destroy fabricators and general usefulness). It can also destroy Jammers if you don't feel like calling in a hellbomb once the jammer is deactivated

@Wallbouncing 17 дней назад

I do mention that around 12:17 but I should've had some footage of it to better convey it.

lately i have been trying out some of lower cooldown orbitals in my flex slot and trying to make an effort to call them in as often as possible to see if they're actually effective in the higher difficulties. i actually like the gatling barrage decently well but this definitely sold me on trying out the gas!

@Wallbouncing 17 дней назад

I also enjoy using the gatling barrage and glad you're interested in checking out the gas strike. Hope you have a great time with it! Thanks for checking out the video!

@@Wallbouncing had a great time the past two nights running it and it's now one of my favorite stratagems but it also crashed my game 3 times :( i pray this gets fixed soon

@mikkelnyhuus9173 16 дней назад

Best part is watching the kill count tick up slowly. 50-some kills with strike today, bringing 2 of them feels awesome with the current free one agaybugs.

I have incidentally noticed that sometimes gas will be blown by high winds, but I can't tell by how much. I also suspect that gas strikes corrode armor , allowing you to penetrate armor more effectively. lastly, I have also noticed that gas strikes tend to reduce the ability of both bugs and bots to call in reinforcements.

That atmosferic interference callout is really important. I was using it on some bug missions and it's too inefective and dangerous to use when that modifier is on.

@drwhothehell 17 дней назад

There’s few things I find more satisfying than dropping a gas strike and watching the gas take out like 8+ enemies in a sudden instance from the DoT, or dropping it right onto a bug breach and just watching the little combo counter tick up and up

@Wallbouncing 17 дней назад

Seeing the multi-kill skull icon go from yellow to red is a wonderful feeling when I use the gas strike so I know how you feel haha. Thanks for checking out the video!

I have a lot of fun using the Gas Strike and I really hope we get more weapons that use this unique tool. Toxic sprayer support weapon maybe? Gas grenades? Eagle gas strike? possibilities are endless; Hopefully there's even an armor type resistant to gas.

@RandomImpluses 17 дней назад

Great video! My pipe dream for the gas would be that it corrodes armour. Damaging it, and allowing it to either fall off, or lower the penetration level required to bypass the armour. That way it'd be useful against heavies, but not overpowered. You'd still have to put in work to kill them, they'd just be softened up a bit. If you got a direct hit on the bile titan, would the gas stay at that higher altitude or would it still start on the ground?

@Wallbouncing 16 дней назад

Thanks for checking out the video! If you were to hit it on a bile titan the gas would start in the air but since the gas spreads uniformly across all directions it will almost always be able to hit enemies at ground level.

Dude after watching your video I decided to give it a try and while I see its virtues it just kills too many teammates who somehow don’t notice the green cloud. I think so few players use this strat that the average player doesn’t understand how long they have to stay out of the impact zone after detonation

@Wallbouncing 16 дней назад

I do think not a lot of people are aware of the gas when it's called in. I've seen my fair share of teammates run into the gas similar to running into the tesla tower. They got to learn somehow haha. Thanks for checking out the video!

@jonservo 16 дней назад

I need to get into this, I’m all about DOT builds for the terminids. The only reason I don’t use the napalm strike and gas more often is for my teammates. It’s easier not to kill them by accident when I use the flamethrower and incendiary grenade, less chance they may walk into the area before the attack is done. I might try running it more often and just warn my team I’m bringing DOT everything lol

@Wallbouncing 16 дней назад

When I was doing tests on the tesla tower I had to let my teammates know I was using it so they wouldn't run into it. The gas still claims the lives of a few unaware teammates every now and then haha. Thanks for checking out the video!

Literally couldn't even focus on what you were saying at 00:19 because I was terrified watching you climb on top of that bile titan corpse. D:

the gas strike is my favourite war crime. i love watching the kill count go up when u drop it on fresh bug holes lol

@speedyazi5029 17 дней назад

The one thing I ask for is this thing to corrode armour so an enemy in the gas has reduced armour levels so light weapons do medium, medium does heavy, and heavy obliterates. Or just increase the damage taken in the gas by firearms.

@brotherimzee 17 дней назад

question: in general, would you stun grenade then call in gas strike. or would you call in gas strike then toss stun?

@Wallbouncing 17 дней назад

In general, I would call the gas strike and then throw the stun. In certain situations I would throw the stun first to prep for the gas strike such as when a group of hunters are jumping all over me. Hope that answers your question! Thanks for checking out the video!

gas strike is so good, 20-40 kills every minute goes hard

@videonmode8649 17 дней назад

I would like both Orbital Gas and EMS to get a buff. For gas, since it's a corrosive gas any armor value is downgraded by one (or maybe two) value making cleanup of the bulker enemies a bit easier. For EMS, let it actually lock down large enemies like Bile Titans and Tank, etc.

More gas stratagems or something like a gas grenade would be cool. Also did you test if gas and fire DoT stack? Throw a gas strike and an incendiary grenade in the same spot and double TTK? That could be nice
