Eagle 500kg Bomb

"A large bomb obliterating almost any target close to impact. Make sure to clear the area."The Eagle 500kg Bomb is one of the stratagems available to the player at Level 15 for 10,000 requisition slips.
==Stratagem Code==
Helldivers must enter the following sequence, using the default Ctrl+WASD keys or the controller L1/LB+D-Pad in order to call down this stratagem during a mission:
==Stats==
*Call-in Time: 0 Seconds
*Uses: 1 (2 with upgrade)
*Cooldown Time: 8 Seconds
==Tactical Information==
*The Eagle 500kg Bomb is dropped from the Eagle as any other Eagle stratagem, however it first impacts the ground before detonating approximately one second later. The impact itself does about as much damage as a Hellpod’s landing.
*While the Eagle 500kg Bomb deals enormous damage to any enemies or buildings in the close vicinity of whatever it hits, it has significant damage dropoff and is less effective at clearing large areas.
**This does have the side-effect of being relatively safe to deploy close to Helldivers or other allied units.
*Unlike other bombing runs where the Eagle swoops in perpendicular to the Helldiver from the left towards the right, when deploying a 500kg Bomb, the Eagle swoops in from behind the Helldiver that has called in the strike, much like a strafing run. This makes the stratagem somewhat risky to use on high ground, as the bomb may land on the high ground the Helldiver is standing on, instead of on the target's position below.
*When attempting to destroy large mobile targets, it is advised to first stun them with an Orbital EMS Strike or Stun Grenade. However, due to the rapid deployment rate of the 500kg Bomb, it is quite easy to use this against large targets with a bit of practice.
