MAJOR ORDER: Helldivers, it's time to choose between liberating Choohe or Penta. Depending on your choice, you will receive either the MD-17 Anti-Tank Mines or the RL-77 Airburst Rocket Launcher.

(And you'll save the citizens. Don't forget the citizens.)

Edit: Each planet has the stratagem associated with it as an Environmental Condition so we can test them out!

Please not airburst. It's another backpack support weapon. And it's indiscriminately spicy. I had one go off the second it cleared the launcher with no baddies around I could see and took out myself and 2 other squaddies.

They're launcher discharged cluster munitions with a slappy trigger mechanism.

Yeah, having tried them they are very, very much a cluster munition. Also it seems so far everyone has learned the range of said cluster munitions in pretty much the same way. Weird it think AT Landmines would have a lower Teamkill potential and I say this as someone who today, told my new playing friend to watch out for the bot mines and promptly stepped on one.

I just did a solo on easy to really get a better feel for the rocket. Still killed myself 2.5 times with it.. also, I don't suggest using it against drop ships, the range of the cluster gets huge lol it did not take out any of the 3 devastaters I fired it at either
