- Armory Description

Stratagem Code[ | ]

Players must enter the following sequence, using the controller d‑pad, in order to call down this stratagem during a mission:

Unlock Requirement[ | ]

The Incendiary Bombs stratagem is granted to the player as a reward for completing all the missions on its associated planet (typically a medium-low level planet - difficulty 4 to 6).

Upgrades[ | ]

	Cost	Effect
Mk1		Basic variant, no upgrades.
Mk2	1	Upgraded incendiary bombs burn for an extended period of time. Duration increased from 14 to 20 seconds. Stratagem name changed to 'Hellfire' Incendiary Bombs.
Mk3	2	Lightweight construction lowers cooldown from 60 seconds to 45 seconds. This upgrade requires the Strafing Run Mk2.

Gameplay Tips[ | ]

The column of fire always arrives perpendicular to the throw.

Incendiary Bombs also deal a small amount of explosive damage at the time of detonation. This can even damage or kill Cyborg Warlords.

Many enemies will not cross the wall of fire and will try to find a path around it, making this useful for area denial. If they can't see a path, they'll usually hang back until the fire burns itself out. However, heavier foes aren't particularly intimidated by the flames and will march or drive right through.

Cooldown time with Stratagem Priority is 36 seconds (27 when upgraded), allowing Helldivers to put up another Hellfire wall immediatelly after the original burns out.
