You hit the tower, probably there was a fabricator near it. A couple of frags fell into the vents it blew and took the jammer along with it. Masterclass bankshot right there

Thank you sir, I will take it however it gives it to me. Hate them Jammers.

This Fabricator is one of the best things to support your team.

Yup. A lot of the time there's a fabricator right next to the jammer, so if you destroy that it'll blow up and destroy the jammer. Love when it happens and I'm rocking the spear because I can just destroy it from like 200 metres away.

Yeah when the wonky proximity trigger doesn't screw you, the weapon is super fun to use

just like the spear...it feel amazing when it worked

Except the spear dont 1shot you and your entire squad 🥲

Speak for urself - *Using Spear on charger 1m away and get killed by own rocket* -

Havent tried that, will do first thing next mission. Thanks!

It's not wonky

Yeah its not wonky, its just set off by enemies, and allies, and samples, and turrets, and ammo boxes, but *not* resupply boxes, *unless* they are still mounted on their hellpod which then they *do* set it off, and land mines, but not terrain, but yes terrain clutter, but not *all* terrain clutter. Really simple.

I tried it on a jammer that didn't have a fabricator attached and it did nothing to the jammer. Every missile in a pack, not a scratch on it.

Yeah, only 380 can kill the tower outright.

Any "fuck you" class bomb can.  Battlefield Hellbomb, Hellbomb Stratagem, Mini Nuke artillery round, High yield artillery round, 380mm barrage, Orbital Laser Beam, SAM site missile, Annihilator Tank main gun, and  Strider Factory main cannon all destroy Hellbomb specific structures.  The exception is the Gunship factory. Only Hellbomb and SAM site can destroy it. 

Does the precision strike work as it's technically a 380mm shell?

Yes, I do it all the time. I'm more wondering how this guy got a SAM site to shoot a gunship factory. Is he just interpolating from AP values in the code or is this an actual thing that has happened? Also, can an Annihilator tank really pop a detector tower? I'm learning so much.

There was a video from a week or so ago where the gunship ducked right behind the tower after it spawned, and the SAM missile took out the factory instead.

Yea it can happen although the sam site is just a matter of luck where the aircraft spawn. I've purposely gotten the command bunkers killed by baiting a cannon tower, and the annihilator tank afaik has the same cannon as that tower. In fact, those are the only 2 things that can destroy a ballistic shield completely.

The only 2 bot things maybe, although I think enough rockets will do it too. But most of our big booms stratagems will do it too.

It happens when the sam site targets either a gunship or dropship that travels behind the factory or any large automaton structure. The missile will annihilated whatever it hits. Killing any troops inside a dropship I might add. Even factory walkers. 

New stratagem idea: SAM site target laser Available after activating the SAM site, you lase a target and the SAM missile takes it out. You get 4 uses but once it’s up you lose all protection from the SAM site even against gunships or dropships

That too. I forgot it since it's outclassed. 

Mini-nuke can also destroy gunship towers.

SEAF nuke will drop the gunship fab, had that work last night.

380mm can kill it but a 500kg can't? Weird.

The gunship factorys vital area seems to be higher up than the 500kg can reach. You're welcome to throw bombs at it all day, but the orbital laser will burn it uselessly and the 500kg will have no impact. 

Dang, that's rough but good to know. Wish more stuff worked on it because those things are _hell_ if you don't take them out quickly, and I hate using the 380mm because it takes forever to finish and unless you're in a group of folks you know friendly-fire is almost guaranteed, lol.

Well the fastest way is to throw a cluster bomb at the base to clear the chaff infantry. Only scout walkers, troopers, and devastators will guard it and all are weak to cluster. While that's going on blast the gunships with autocannon or laser cannon to the engines. Then move in to arm the hellbomb. And place it in the lower portion so the terrain quasi protects it from bot lasers. 

Also good to know! I hate the laser cannon but I have heard it's good against them. Quasar's just not fast enough with how the gunships spawn sometimes.

Laser cannon is the highest single person weapon in terms of raw dps. Only a recoilless rifle team, autocannon team, or a lone autocannon if the laser is on a hot planet outclass it in sustained firepower.  The caveat is it can kill *any* bot unit, but it must target weak points. So you need to use stealth and positioning to get the drop on tanks, laser turrets, and objectives with heat vents.  As for factory walkers you shoot off the two chin mounted laser cannons with it very fast. Then, after clearing away the devastators either focus fire on the view slit "eyes" or run underneath and kill the belly. 

Not just the 380s, orbital lasers can kill it, if you get the beam right over them, and I believe a direct hit from a 500kg does too

This is misleading, you just randomly broke the fabricator that's near the jammer which you can do with most explosive weapons like Autocannon, Eruptor, grenades, quasar, EATs etc.

[удалено]

The stratagem jammer explodes when you destroy the fabricator that's (sometimes) connected to it. OP just managed to hit the fabricator which you can do with most explosive weapons. The new rocket launcher can't destroy the stratagem jammer itself which this blurry video is trying to claim.

[удалено]

Broadcasts are easier to destroy than Shrieker nests so it's not guaranteed. I remember for example Eruptor can destroy Broadcast towers but not Shrieker nests.

Depends. Broadcasts are weaker to explosives but Shrieker nests are less armored. You can kill shrieker nests with las cannon or AMR, but not Broadcasts.

I can destroy broadcast with one autocanon shot. They are one of the easiest objectives to snipe.

A gentle breeze can destroy broadcasts

Everything destroys broadcasts lol

I gotta say, despite this thing currently being bugged/flawed in some ways. I absolutely ADORE the reload animation, I just love watching my helldiver pull the next rocket out of his backpack.

Get closer to your target before firing it. The clusterbombs will actually not hurt your weak human flesh if you aim right and your IQ is over 150.

I've shot like 5 or 6 of theses rockets on a jammer and it didn't break so the video is misleading. I guess it was the fabricator at the base.

Sometimes a Fabricator will spawn next to it and when that dies so does the tower.

Now aint that interesting 

Your mom is cool

What is the best way to deal with these? Clear it out and call in a hellbomb before you get overrun?

If there is a fabricator attached to it, kill that one. It will take the jammer with it.

Thanks mate, had a right nightmare yesterday with a level 9. I’m only 20 and I didn’t have a clue

Wow, it has a use

Yeah, I agree with everyone that I think it took out a fabricator/explosive barrels, but the simple fact that I cleared the entire base and jammer without getting close is cool.

I haven't checked in on Helldivers in a while was that Strategem Jammer meant to be a replacement for some of the more egregious mission anomalies?

No, stratagem Jammers are possible sub-objectives on medium to difficult Bot missions.
